Lithium-Ion Batteries: Chemicals & Physical Health Issues - Provident Webinar with Chris Pfaff

Learn from Chris Pfaff, Lead Instructor and Owner of PHRT Hazmat & Rescue Instruction (HazmatAndRescue.com), on why lithium-ion batteries go into runaway, why the electrolyte is hazardous, and why other batteries are not as toxic or dangerous as Li-ion. He’ll also discuss the metals used and how they are consumed in smoke. He’ll wrap up with ways responders can protect themselves with PPE, blood testing, logging exposures, and of course, reminding us to sign up for the National Cancer Registry (NFR).
