8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA); 15-minute Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL)
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 2 mg/cu.m. Ceiling. 29 CFR 1910.1000 (Rev. 3/1/89).
Toxicity:
SODIUM HYDROXIDE: LD50: 500 mg/kg. Corrosive.; LC50: Corrosive.
NFPA Codes: Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 1
Target Organs: None identified.
Carcinogenic Effects: Not listed as a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
Mutagenic Effects: No data
Teratogenic Effects: No data
Developmental Toxicity: No data
Effects of Overexposure:
INHALATION: Inhalation of dusts or mists can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract and to the lung tissue depending on severity of exposure. Effects can range from miled irritation of mucous membranes, severe pneumonitis and destruction of lung tissues.
INGESTION: Can cause very serious damage to the mucous membranes or other tissues with which contact has been made, and may be fatal.
SKIN CONTACT: Corrosive action causes burns and frequently deep ulcerations with subsequent scarring. Prolonged contact destroys tissue. Dust or mist can cause irritant dermatitis.
EYE CONTACT: Causes severe burns to eyes. Can result in permanent damage and/or vision loss.
Chronic Effect: No information found.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Have oxygen available for administration by a trained person if breathing is difficult. Obtain medical assistance.
INGESTION: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Give 3-4 glasses of water or acidic beverages (tomato or orange juice, carbonated soft drinks). Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical assistance.
SKIN CONTACT: Flood area with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing and clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. If symptoms persist, obtain medical assistance.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding lids gently, but firmly, apart. Lift upper and lower lids occasionally to ensure thorough flushing under them. If symptoms persist, obtain medical assistance.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
Section VI: Reactivity Data
|
Stability: |
Stable. |
|
Conditions to Avoid: |
Contact with organic materials and concentrated acids may cause violent reactions. Contact with magnesium, aluminum, galvanized zinc, tin, chromium, brass and bronze generates explosive hydrogen. Reactions with various food sugars may form carbon monoxide. |
|
Hazardous Decomposition Products: |
Carbon monoxide. |
|
Hazardous Polymerization: |
Will not occur. |
Section VII: Spill or Leak Procedures
|
Release or Spill Procedures: |
Dilute spill with large amounts of water then neutralize with dilute acid. After all visible traces have been removed, flush area with large amounts of water. |
|
Waste Disposal Method: |
To be performed in compliance with all current local, state and federal regulations. Spills onto sand, soil, or other absorbent may be handled by placing the affected soil into approved containers then label and store for proper treatment or disposal. |
