Below is a chart outlining the effects an electrical shock can have on the human body:
Effects of Electric Current in the Human Body
Current | Reaction |
1 Milliampere | Just a faint tingle. |
5 Milliamperes | Slight shock felt; not painful but disturbing. Average individual can let go. However, strong involuntary reactions to shocks in this range can lead to injuries. |
6-25 Milliamperes (women) | Painful shock, muscular control is lost. |
9-30 Milliamperes (men) | This is called the freezing current or "let-go" range. |

1,000-4,300 Milliamperes | Ventricular fibrillation. (The rhythmic pumping action of the heart ceases). Muscular contraction and nerve damage occur. Death is most likely. |

Using Batteries Safely
Batteries are helpful devices for portable electricity but they can be dangerous if used or disposed of improperly. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common rechargeable batteries for consumer use and can be found in everything from laptops, to cell phones, to GPS Navigators and even in some cars! Although common, these little devices can cause bodily harm in ways such as burns, fires, explosions, respiratory problems and even death.
In light of this information we need to take the following precautions when handling batteries:
- Never leave your rechargeable batteries in the charger once they've reached full charge; overcharging will not enhance the battery's performance and could actually damage it
- Never disassemble a battery; the chemicals inside are toxic and may damage skin and clothes
- Never have batteries in or near fire; they may rupture - this could also lead to an explosion
- Never place batteries in water; they may rupture. Also, when the electrolyte inside the battery is combined with water, hydrofluoric acid forms which is a highly corrosive and toxic substance
- Never charge batteries with a no-name brand charger or one that has been modified
- Never charge a battery that has physical damage
- Never use a battery in any appliance it is not intended for
- Never throw batteries into regular garbage, dispose of them properly by checking with your area's battery recycling policy - otherwise they may enter the solid waste stream and contaminate soil and water
