Yes, just need to watch out for the ethers, NMP, various other volatile additives. And even worse, the HF. That's the one that melts your bones.
Lithium ion electrolyte is extremely hazardous when inhaled. I would not attempt to handle, open or modify cells without engineered ventilation and appropriate training and protection. If a cell is punctured or suspected to be leaking, I would evacuate to fresh air immediately and activate a hazardous substance control team.
- userbinator 2y agoIt appears you're far too paranoid for your own good. If by NMP you're referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone , "N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone is a relatively innocuous compound with an LD50 of 4150 mg/kg (oral, rats).[5] It is non-mutagenic." HF is only formed in combustion, but then so are a lot of other more hazardous chemicals. But getting the occasional whiff of electrolyte (which I admit actually has a quite pleasant smell) or having some skin contact from a leaking cell is certainly nothing to worry about. I know plenty of people who regularly work on cars, washed their hands with gasoline and probably came into contact with much worse, yet still lived healthily into their 80s and 90s.
