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

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1 Information on toxicological effects

The product does not meet the criteria for classification as hazardous according to EC Regulation

1272/2008 and Directive 67/548/EC as amended.

The product contains less than 1% w/w RCS (respirable crystalline silica)

Toxicity endpoints Outcome of the effects assessment

Absorption Bentonite is not classified as a hazardous substance. Therefore, absorption is not a relevant parameter for the effects assessment.



Version: 1.0/EN


of 17


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.



Version: 1.0/EN


of 17


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.

Social Dialogue on

Respirable Crystalline

Silica

A multi-sectoral social dialogue agreement on Workers Health Protection through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline Silica and Products Containing it was signed on 25 April 2006. This autonomous agreement, which receives the European Commission’s financial support, is based on a Good Practices Guide. The requirements of the Agreement came into force on 25 October 2006. The Agreement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2006/C 279/02). The text of the Agreement

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



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.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE



HANDLING

Avoid all personal contact. Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures. Do not use as a cleaning solvent or other non-motor fuel uses. For use as a motor fuel only.

Appropriate engineering controls: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, use process enclosures,

local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.

Environmental exposure controls: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation.

Individual protection measures

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.

Ingredient name Exposure limits

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.

Environmental exposure controls

: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Appropriate engineering controls

: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.

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.

exposure limit values

mg/m3 ppm ppm Footnote mg/m3Sodium hydroxide 2 Peak

limitationA time weighted average (TWA) has been established for Sodium hydroxide (Safe Work Australia) of 2 mg/m3. The corresponding STEL level is 2 mg/m3 - Peak Limitation - a ceiling concentration which should not be exceeded over a measurement period which should be as short as possible but not exceeding 15 minutes. The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week.

Other Exposure Information

In industrial situations maintain the concentrations values below the TWA. This may be achieved by process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods.

Appropriate engineering controls

Where ventilation is not adequate, respiratory protection may be required. Avoid breathing dust, vapours or mists. Respiratory protection should comply with AS 1716 - Respiratory Protective Devices and be selected in accordance with AS 1715 - Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

Respiratory Protection

The use of a face shield, chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shield protection as appropriate. Must comply with Australian Standards AS 1337 and be selected and used in accordance with AS 1336.

Eye Protection

Avoid skin contact when removing gloves from hands, do not touch the gloves outer surface. Dispose of gloves as hazardous waste.Hand protection should comply with AS 2161, Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance.Recommendation: Rubber or plastic gloves.

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.

as a liquid (aqueous solution). The appearance of the substance and some

physicochemical properties are mentioned in the table below.

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.


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


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.

The hazard statement “causes severe skin burns and eye damage” is

applicable for a concentration in chemical products of 2 % w/w or higher.


For concentrations in products between 0.5 and 2 % the following hazard

statements are applicable:

- Causes skin irritation (H315) and

- 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

provided instructions
