2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
2.1 Classification of the substance
Bentonite with less than 10% w/w crystalline silica does not meet the criteria for classification as
hazardous according to EC Regulation 1272/2008 and Directive 67/548/EC as amended.
Depending on the handling and use (grinding, drying, bagging), airborne respirable dust may be
generated. Dust contains respirable crystalline silica. Prolonged and or massive inhalation of
respirable crystalline silica dust may cause lung fibrosis, commonly referred to as silicosis. Principal
symptoms of silicosis are cough and breathlessness. Occupational exposure to respirable dust should
be monitored and controlled. The product should be handled using methods and techniques that
minimize or eliminate dust generation.
The product contains less than 1% w/w RCS (respirable crystalline silica) as determined by the
SWERF method. The respirable crystalline silica content can be measured using the “Size-Weighted
Respirable Fraction – SWERF” method. All details about the SWERF method is available at
www.crystallinesilica.eu

Toxicity endpoints Outcome of the effects assessment
Acute toxicity Bentonite is not acutely toxic.
Oral LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw (OECD 425, rat)
Dermal Data not available. Bentonite is almost insoluble and has a low
absorption through the skin.
Inhalation No data available.
Classification for acute toxicity is not warranted.
Irritation / corrosion
Bentonite is not irritating to skin (in vivo, OECD 404, rabbit).
Bentonite is not irritating to eye (in vivo, OECD 405, rabbit). Bentonite is a
classified as a mild irritant to eyes (according to the modified Kay & Calandra
criteria).
Classification for Irritation/corrosion is not warranted
Sensitisation No data available. Bentonite is considered not to be a skin sensitiser based on experience in handling and low absorption through the skin, Classification for sensitisation is not warranted.
Repeated dose toxicity - Oral
Short-term repeated dose toxicity study (28 days) and sub-chronic toxicity study (90 day) on mices have been conducted with bentonite. Bentonite fed to mice at 10%, 25%, or 50% for 61 days. Hepatoma was seen in mice receiving a diet of 50% bentonite. This was due to bentonite being a base-exchange silicate and thus removing choline from the content of the intestine > 200 day feeding study of 50% bentonite. Hepatomas developed in 11 of 12 mice. The livers of mice on 50/50 bentonite-basal diet were severely damaged. The liver damage noted in the group ingesting bentonite is consistent with that expected during prolonged choline deficiency, a base-exchange silicate, is advanced as a partial explanation for the development of the hepatomas in the mice in these experiments
Effect seen on livers. Hhowever study were conducted in mice at very high concentration and effects seen are considered secondary due to disrupture of digestion.
Therefore, classification of bentonite for toxicity upon prolonged exposure by oral route is not warranted.

Toxicity endpoints Outcome of the effects assessment
Repeated dose toxicity - Inhalation
Animal and in vitro data indicate a difference between crystalline quartz and the quartz-content of bentonite. A quantitative assessment based on the animal data is not possible as no relevant repeated-dose inhalation study is available. Human data is restricted to case reports that suggest a relationship between high bentonite exposure (exposures in the early 20th century without state-of-the-art protective measures and maximum dust exposure limits). The link between bentonite exposure and silicosis is not considered to be demonstrated sufficiently. With regards to classification and labelling of bentonite, the evidence is not considered adequate to come to a conclusion on specific classification of bentonite with specific target organ toxicity upon repeated exposure (STOT-RE). The lung can be affected at repeated high-dose exposure which has been suggested by case reports in humans. Whether this effect occurs only at concentrations overloading the lung’s clearance capacity and is not relevant to humans since establishment of general dust exposure limits. Therefore, classification of bentonite for toxicity upon prolonged exposure by inhalation is not warranted.
Mutagenicity In vitro gene mutation in bacteria (Ames) – negative
In vivo cytogenicity test in mammalian cells (chrom abb) – negative
In vivo cytogenicity test in mammalian cells (micronucleus assay) –negative
Classification for genotoxicity is not warranted.
Carcinogenicity No data available.
Sepiolite was evaluated by IARC as class 3 ("Cannot be classified as to
carcinogenicity to humans"). Based on read-across with sepiolite, bentonite
was assessed as non-carcinogenic.
Classification for carcinogenicity is not warranted.

Toxicity for reproduction
Two developmental studies are available:
Abdel-Wahhab et al (1999)
Bentonite had no effect on maternal and fetal parameters at a dietary level of
0.5% w/w (equivalent to 250 mg/kg bw).
Wiles et al (2004)
2% calcium montmorillonite or sodium montmorillonite in the diet had no effect on maternal weight or maternal organ weights, litter weight, embryonic implantations, or resorptions
In both animal studies no effects on maternal/foetal parameters were detected.
Classification for reproductive toxicity according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is not warranted.

and its annexes, including the Good Practices Guide, are available from http://www.nepsi.eu and provide useful information and guidance for the handling of products containing respirable crystalline silica. Literature references are available on request from EUROSIL, the European Association of Industrial Silica Producers, Prolonged and/or massive exposure to respirable crystalline silica-containing dust may cause silicosis, a nodular pulmonary fibrosis caused by deposition in the lungs of fine respirable particles of crystalline silica. In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However it pointed out that not all industrial circumstances, nor all crystalline silica types, were to be incriminated. (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to humans, Silica, silicates dust and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis. “There is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in persons with silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in quarries and in the ceramic industry). Therefore preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer risk…“ (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003). So there is a body of evidence supporting the fact that increased cancer risk would be limited to people already suffering from silicosis. Worker protection against silicosis should be assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational exposure limits and implementing additional risk management measures where required (see section 16 below).

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION
Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing. Dry wipe exposed skin and cleanse with waterless hand cleaner and follow by washing thoroughly with soap and water. For those providing assistance, avoid further skin contact to yourself or others. Wear impervious gloves. Launder contaminated clothing separately before reuse. Discard contaminated articles that cannot be laundered. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency. Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.
EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance. INGESTION
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
If ingested, material may be aspirated into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis. Treat appropriately. PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Hydrocarbon Solvents/Petroleum Hydrocarbons- Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames. Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: Straight streams of water
Product Name: ESSO DIESEL
Revision Date: 18Dec2007 Page 3 of 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Fire-fighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Hazardous Combustion Products: Aldehydes, Sulphur Oxides, Smoke, Fume, Incomplete combustion products, Oxides of carbon
FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
Flash Point [Method]: >56C (133F) [ ASTM D-93] Flammable Limits (Approximate volume % in air): LEL: 0.6 UEL: 7.0 Autoignition Temperature: >250°C (482°F)
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if required, due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment.
SPILL MANAGEMENT Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if you can do so without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. A vapour-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapour. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Large Spills: Water spray may reduce vapour, but may not prevent ignition in enclosed spaces. Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. If the Flash Point exceeds the Ambient Temperature by 10 deg C or more, use containment booms and remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents when conditions permit. If the Flash Point does not exceed the Ambient Air Temperature by at least 10C, use booms as a barrier to protect shorelines and allow material to evaporate. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants. Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

CHRONIC/OTHER EFFECTS For the product itself:
Vapour concentrations above recommended exposure levels are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, may cause headaches and dizziness, are anaesthetic and may have other central nervous system effects. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema. Diesel fuel: Carcinogenic in animal tests. Caused mutations in-vitro. Repeated dermal exposures to high concentrations in test animals resulted in reduced litter size and litter weight, and increased fetal resorptions at maternally toxic doses. Dermal exposure to high concentrations resulted in severe skin irritation with weight loss and some mortality. Inhalation exposure to high concentrations resulted in respiratory tract irritation, lung changes/infiltration/accumulation, and reduction in lung function. Diesel exhaust fumes: Carcinogenic in animal tests. Inhalation exposures to exhaust for 2 years in test animals resulted in lung tumours and lymphoma. Extract of particulate produced skin tumours in test animals. Caused mutations in-vitro.

Description of necessary first aid measures Eye Contact: Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 20 minutes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
Inhalation: Seek medical help if coughing or other symptoms persist. Inhalation of large amounts of portland cement requires immediate medical attention. Call a poison center or physician. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If the individual is not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If unconscious, place in a recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway.
Skin Contact: Get medical attention immediately. Heavy exposure to portland cement dust, wet concrete or associated water requires prompt attention. Quickly remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and leather goods such as watchbands and belts. Quickly and gently blot or brush away excess portland cement. Immediately wash thoroughly with lukewarm, gently flowing water and non-abrasive pH natural soap. Seek medical attention for rashes, burns, irritation, dermatitis and prolonged unprotected exposure to wet cement, cement mixtures or liquids from wet cement. Burns should be treated as caustic burns. Portland cement causes skin burns with little warning. Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to

Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe dust. Do not ingest. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material and keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
A key to using the product safely requires the user to recognize that portland cement reacts chemically with water to produce calcium hydroxide which can cause severe chemical burns. Every attempt should be made to avoid skin and eye contact with cement. Do not get portland cement inside boots, shoes or gloves. Do not allow wet, saturated clothing to remain against the skin. Promptly remove clothing and shoes that are dusty or wet with cement mixtures. Launder/clean clothing and shoes before reuse. Do not enter a confined space that stores or contains portland cement unless appropriate procedures and protection are available. Portland cement can build up or adhere to the walls of a confined space and then release or fall suddenly (engulfment).

Individual protection measures
Page 6 of 10
Hygiene measures: Clean water should always be readily available for skin and (emergency) eye washing. Periodically wash
areas contacted by portland cement with a pH neutral soap and clean, uncontaminated water. If clothing becomes saturated with portland cement, garments should be removed and replaced with clean, dry clothing.
Eye/face protection: To prevent eye contact, wear safety glasses with side shields, safety goggles or face shields when handling dust or wet cement. Wearing contact lenses when working with cement is not recommended.
Skin protection Hand protection: Use impervious, waterproof, abrasion and alkali-resistant gloves. Do not rely on barrier creams in place
of impervious gloves. Do not get portland cement inside gloves. Body protection: Use impervious, waterproof, abrasion and alkali-resistant boots and protective long-sleeved and long-
legged clothing to protect the skin from contact with wet portland cement. To reduce foot and ankle exposure, wear impervious boots that are high enough to prevent portland cement from getting inside them. Do not get portland cement inside boots, shoes, or gloves. Remove clothing and protective equipment that becomes saturated with cement and immediately wash exposed areas of the body.
Other skin protection: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved. .
Respiratory protection: Use properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product, and assigned protection factor of the selected respirator.

Section 10. Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: Reacts slowly with water forming hydrated compounds, releasing heat and producing a strong
alkaline solution until reaction is substantially complete. Chemical Stability: The product is stable. Possibility of hazardous reactions: Under normal circumstances of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur. Conditions to avoid: No specific data. Incompatible materials: Reactive or incompatible with the following materials: oxidizing materials, acids, aluminum and
ammonium salt. Portland cement is highly alkaline and will react with acids to produce a violent, heat-generating reaction. Toxic gases or vapors may be given off depending on the acid involved. Reacts with acids, aluminum metals and ammonium salts. Aluminum powder and other alkali and alkaline earth elements will react in wet mortar or concrete, liberating hydrogen gas. Limestone ignites on contact with fluorine and is incompatible with acids, alum, ammonium salts, and magnesium. Silica reacts violently with powerful oxidizing agents such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride, and oxygen difluoride yielding possible fire and/or explosions. Silicates dissolve readily in hydrofluoric acid producing a corrosive gas-silicon tetrafluoride.
Hazardous decomposition products: Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should not be produced.

Hand protection
Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator that meets the appropriate standard or certification. Respirators must be used according to a respiratory protection program to ensure proper fitting, training, and other important aspects of use.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-shields. If operating conditions cause high dust concentrations to be produced, use dust goggles.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information
11.1 Information on toxicological effects:11.1.1 Test results
- Toxicokinetics: summary
Toxicokinetics (absorption, metabolism, distribution and elimination)The toxicokinetics of sodium carbonate are well understood. When sodium carbonate comes into contact with body fluids it will dissociate into carbonate andsodium. The carbonate could potentially increase the pH of the blood.
The major extracellular buffer in the blood and the interstitial fluid of vertebrates is the bicarbonate buffer system, described by the following equation:H2O + CO2 _ H2CO3 _ H+ + HCO3Carbon dioxide from the tissues diffuses rapidly into red blood cells, where it is hydrated with water to form carbonic acid. This reaction is accelerated bycarbonic anhydrase, an enzyme present in high concentrations in red blood cells. The carbonic acid formed dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.Most of the bicarbonate ions diffuse into the plasma. Since the ratio of H2CO3 to dissolved CO2 is constant at equilibrium, pH may be expressed in terms ofbicarbonate ion concentration and partial pressure of CO2 by means of the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:pH = pk + log [HCO3-]/aPCO2
The blood plasma of man normally has a pH of 7.40. Should the pH fall below 7.0 or rise above 7.8, irreversible damage may occur. Compensatorymechanisms for acid-base disturbances function to alter the ratio of HCO3 to PCO2, returning the pH of the blood to normal. Thus, metabolic acidosis may becompensated for by hyperventilation and increased renal absorption of HCO3. Metabolic alkalosis may be compensated for by hypoventilation and the excessof HCO3- in the urine (Johnson and Swanson, 1987). Renal mechanisms are usually sufficient to restore the acid-base balance (McEvoy, 1994). The uptake ofsodium, via exposure to sodium carbonate, is much less than the uptake of sodium via food. Therefore, sodium carbonate is not expected to be systemicallyavailable in the body. Furthermore it should be realised that an oral uptake of sodium carbonate will result in a neutralisation in the stomach due to thegastric acid.

General statementGeneral statementGeneral statementGeneral statement
Pure sodium hydroxide is a solid at room temperature and is generated from
sodium chloride (common salt) by electrolysis. Sodium hydroxide is a
hydrophilic alkaline substance (high pH) and therefore it is corrosive and
hazardous to human health. It is most commonly found as a liquid, which
has a concentration of between 20% and 50 % sodium hydroxide in water and
is usually referred to as caustic soda liquor. The substance is used in large
amounts in a variety of industries.

Uses and applicationUses and applicationUses and applicationUses and application
Sodium hydroxide has many different functions and uses. For example,
within industry it can be used to adjust the pH, to produce biodiesel from
vegetable oils, to clean food processing equipment and bottles, to de-ink
water (pulp and paper industry), to dry air, to absorb CO2 from gases, to
extract alumina (aluminium industry), to remove grease and paint from
metal, to mercerize cotton (textile industry), to peel leather, to peel
vegetables, to make pretzels, to manufacture chemicals (intermediate use),
to regenerate resins or to soften water. Consumer uses include paint
stripping or drain cleaning.

Pure sodium hydroxide is a solid at room temperature, though it is often sold
as a liquid (aqueous solution). The appearance of the substance and some
physicochemical properties are mentioned in the table below.

Density 2.1 g/cm3 (20 °C) (fused solid)
Melting/boiling point 323 °C/1388 °C
Molecular weight 40.0 g/mol
Sodium hydroxide is a strong alkaline substance that dissociates completely
in water into the sodium ion (Na+) and hydroxide ion (OH-). The
dissolution/dissociation in water is strongly exothermic (releases heat), so a
vigorous reaction occurs when sodium hydroxide is added to water. The
vapour pressure of the substance is very low and the melting point is high.
Sodium hydroxide solutions attack aluminium and its alloys, giving off
hydrogen gas. It can be neutralised with acids (e.g. hydrochloric acid) giving
the sodium salts of the acids, which are usually pH neutral and non-
corrosive.
Health effectsHealth effectsHealth effectsHealth effects
Sodium hydroxide is a strongly alkaline hydrophilic substance and therefore
solid sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive. It reacts with greases and fats,
which can lead to irreversible damage to any site of contact with the body
(for example skin or eyes). Depending on the concentration, solutions of
sodium hydroxide in water are corrosive, irritating or non-irritating and they
cause direct local effects at the site of contact with the body.
Because of the corrosive properties of sodium hydroxide, a high uptake via
the mouth can be fatal. When a very large part of the skin is exposed to
sodium hydroxide, it can also result in death. Sodium hydroxide does not
cause skin allergies.
Evonik IEvonik IEvonik IEvonik Industries AGndustries AGndustries AGndustries AG | GPS Safety SummaryGPS Safety SummaryGPS Safety SummaryGPS Safety Summary | November 2010 | Version 1 | page 3/6
Under normal conditions of handling and use of sodium hydroxide, when
exposure is limited to low, non-irritating concentrations, the substance will
dissociate into its constituent ions and will not be systemically available in
the body. As a consequence, sodium hydroxide will not cause systemic
toxicity in any organs, including the reproductive system. Furthermore,
sodium hydroxide is not carcinogenic or genotoxic.
Environmental effectsEnvironmental effectsEnvironmental effectsEnvironmental effects
The hazard of sodium hydroxide for the environment is caused by the
hydroxide ion (pH effect). A high concentration in water will result in toxic
effects for aquatic organisms e.g. fish. However, a low concentration in water
will not result in effects on aquatic organisms because the sodium hydroxide
will be neutralized by other substances present in water (for example
dissolved carbon dioxide, organic acids) and thus the pH will not increase.
Because sodium hydroxide is neutralized in the environment, the substance
is not persistent and it will not accumulate in organisms or in the food chain.
Bioaccumulation will not occur.
ExposureExposureExposureExposure
ConsumerConsumerConsumerConsumer
Sodium hydroxide is used in consumer products. It can be used, for example,
in floor stripping products, wood stripping products, hair straightening
agents, oven cleaners, drain cleaners or other cleaning products. It is also
used in very small amounts in food products to adjust pH or as an additive
(E524). This use poses no risk to consumers. Many different consumer
products containing sodium hydroxide may be available. The instructions on
the label of these products should be read and followed carefully to ensure
safe use.
Direct skin contact with products or solutions containing a low concentration
of sodium hydroxide ( < 0.5% in water) is not a concern for human health
because, at low concentrations, the substance is not irritating or corrosive.
No other adverse effects on human health are expected to occur. Direct
contact with products or solutions containing high concentrations of sodium
hydroxide (>2% in water) should be prevented, because of the corrosive
effects.
WorkerWorkerWorkerWorker
Because sodium hydroxide has many different functions and uses, it is
extensively used in the industry and also by other professionals.
As mentioned above in the section on consumer exposure, skin contact for
products or solutions with a low sodium hydroxide concentration is not a
concern for human health because, at low concentrations, the substance is
not irritating or corrosive (<0.5% in water).
The sodium hydroxide which is manufactured and used in industry
applications is usually corrosive and therefore automated and closed systems
are used to prevent direct contact. In such situations, exposure to the
Evonik IEvonik IEvonik IEvonik Industries AGndustries AGndustries AGndustries AG | GPS Safety SummaryGPS Safety SummaryGPS Safety SummaryGPS Safety Summary | November 2010 | Version 1 | page 4/6
substance for workers is very low. When exposure to an irritating or corrosive
product could occur, appropriate personal protective equipment should be
used. Workers should consult the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet to obtain
specific advice.
EnvironmentEnvironmentEnvironmentEnvironment
The hazard of sodium hydroxide for the environment is caused by the
hydroxide ion (pH effect). Because there is legislation for the pH control of
waste water and surface water in many countries, a significant pH increase of
the aquatic environment (e.g. a river or a sea) is not expected due to the
manufacture or use of sodium hydroxide. Furthermore it is relatively easy to
adapt the pH of waste water (to neutralise sodium hydroxide in the water)
and therefore significant effects of sodium hydroxide on the aquatic
environment are not expected.
Emissions to air are also not a concern because sodium hydroxide will be
rapidly neutralised in air due the presence of carbon dioxide in air.
State agency reviewState agency reviewState agency reviewState agency review
The substance was reviewed in 2002 under the OECD (Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development) high production volume (HPV)
chemicals program. This is a global program to evaluate the hazards of
chemicals.
In 2007 a European Union Risk Assessment Report was published for sodium
hydroxide which was prepared in the context of Regulation 793/93 on the
evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances. In 2010 sodium
hydroxide has been registered under the European Union REACH Regulation
EC/1907/2006 and the substance was found to be safe for the uses
identified.
The results of all these 3 regulatory programs are available via internet.

- Causes serious eye irritation (H319).
The European industry has decided to classify sodium hydroxide as corrosive
to metals in the EU (H290; May be corrosive to metals).
ConclusionConclusionConclusionConclusion
Sodium hydroxide is used in large amounts in industry and consumer
products. Due to the alkaline properties sodium hydroxide is corrosive at
high concentrations. Direct contacts with these products should be
prevented. However, no effects on human health are expected when humans
are in contact with non-corrosive and non-irritating concentrations of the
substance. The substance is neutralised in the environment and therefore it
is not persistent. Furthermore it does not accumulate in organisms. Waste
water which contains sodium hydroxide should be neutralised (pH control)
before it is discharged to the environment. In this way effects on the aquatic
environment (for example organisms living in a river) are prevented. Use of
this hazardous substance has shown to be safe by careful use and following
