Skin Eye

Sensitisation Mutagenicity Carcinogenicity Reproductive

STOT – single exposure

Contact may result in irritation, redness, rash and dermatitis.

Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness and possible permanent damage. Not classified as causing skin or respiratory sensitisation.

Not classified as a mutagen. Not classified as a carcinogen.

Not classified as a reproductive toxin.

Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, with coughing. High level exposure may result in breathing difficulties.

STOT – repeated exposure

Aspiration

Not classified as causing organ damage from repeated exposure. Carbonate ions are neutralised under physiological conditions to form bicarbonate ions and/or carbon dioxide, which are major products of all human metabolic activities; therefore, systemic toxicity is not expected.

Not classified as causing aspiration.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

• 1. Toxicity

This product is not classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment.

• 1. Persistence and degradability

Not applicable for inorganic substances.

• 1. Bioaccumulative potential

Does not bioaccumulate. Sodium carbonate is an inorganic substance dissociates into sodium and carbonate ions in water, which do not accumulate in living tissues.

• 1. Mobility in soil

If sodium carbonate is emitted to soil it can escape to atmosphere as carbon dioxide, precipitate as a metal carbonate, form complexes or stay in solution.

• 1. Other adverse effects

No other adverse effects are identified.
