XII. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Fate:
Lead is very persistent in soil and sediments. No data on environmental degradation. Mobility of metallic lead between ecological compartments is slow.
Bioaccumulation of lead occurs in aquatic and terrestrial animals and plants but little bioaccumulation occurs through the food chain.
Most studies include lead compounds and not elemental lead.
Environmental Toxicity: Aquatic Toxicity:
Sulfuric acid:
24-hr LC50, freshwater fish (Brachydanio rerio): 82 mg/L
96 hr- LOEC, freshwater fish (Cyprinus carpio): 22 mg/L
Lead:
48 hr LC50 (modeled for aquatic invertebrates): <1 mg/L, based on lead bullion
Additional Information:
· No known effects on stratospheric ozone depletion.
· Volatile organic compounds: 0% (by Volume)
· Water Endangering Class (WGK): NA
XIII. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS (UNITED STATES)
Spent batteries:
Send to secondary lead smelter for recycling. Spent lead-acid batteries are not regulated as hazardous waste when the requirements of
40 CFR Section 266.80 are met. This should be managed in accordance with approved local, state and federal requirements. Consult state environ-
mental agency and/or federal EPA.
Electrolyte:
Place neutralized slurry into sealed containers and handle as applicable with state and federal regulations. Large water-diluted spills, after
neutralization and testing, should be managed in accordance with approved local, state and federal requirements. Consult state environmental
agency and/or federal EPA.
Following local, State/Provincial, and Federal/National regulations applicable to end-of-life characteristics will be the responsibility of the end-user.
XIV. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
U.S. DOT:
Excepted from the hazardous materials regulations ( HMR) because the batteries meet the requirements of 49 CFR 173.159(f) and 49 CFR 173.159a of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
HMR. Battery and outer package must be marked “ NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY” Battery terminals must be protected against short circuits.
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations DGR:
Excepted from the dangerous goods regulations because the batteries meet the requirements of Packing Instruction 872 and Special Provisions A67 of
the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) Dangerous goods Regulations and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical
Instructions. Battery Terminals must be protected against short circuits.
The words “ NOT RESTRICTED” , SPECIAL PROVISION A67” must be provided when the air waybill is issued.
IMDG:
Excepted from the dangerous goods regulations for transport by sea because the batteries meet the requirements of Special Provision 238 of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods(
IMDG CODE). Battery terminals must be protected against short circuits.
Requirements for Safe Shipping and Handling of Cyclon Cells:
Warning – Electrical Fire Hazard – Protect against shorting. Terminals can short and cause a fire if not insulated during shipping. Cyclon product must be labeled “NONSPILLABLE” during
shipping. Follow all federal shipping regulations. See section IX of this sheet and CFR 49 Parts 171 through 180, available online at wwww.gpoaccess.gov.
Requirements for Shipping Cyclon Product as Single Cells:
Protective caps or other durable inert material must be used to insulate each terminal of each cell unless cells are shipping in the original packaging from EnerSys, in full box quantities.
Protective caps are available for all cell sizes by contacting EnerSys Customer Service at 1-800-964-2837.
Requirements for Shipping Cyclon Product Assembled Into Multicell Batteries:
Assembled batteries must have short circuit protection during shipping. Exposed terminals, connectors, or lead wires must be insulated with a durable inert material to prevent exposure
during shipping.
