lay down a binding agent such as sand. Do not let it reach the
sewer system, soil or a body of water.
2. Neutralise the acid with lime/baking soda and dispose of it ac-
cording to local regulations.
3. Contact a waste management company to dispose of faulty
batteries.
4. Rinse out your eyes or rinse off your skin with copious
amounts of fresh water if acid splashes into your eyes or onto
your skin.
5. Then consult a doctor immediately.
6. Wash any contaminated clothing with water.
7. Change clothes.
