CLP CLASSIFICATION

This mixture is classified as dangerous according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 [GHS] H314 – Skin corrosion/irritation 1A H290 – Corrosive to metals 1A

Additional information

Health and environmental hazards: Contact with eyes causes severe burns, even blindness. Contact with skin produces severe burns. Sodium hydroxide can be fatal if swallowed. Inhalation of dust irritates the oral mucosa, nose and respiratory tract. Exposure to high levels of pollution causes lung irritation, coughing that may be associated with even stopping breathing or, in the event of prolonged exposure, pulmonary edema. Highly soluble in water. In contact with water, an amount of heat is released. No significant emissions into the air or exposure of the terrestrial environment are expected. The effect on the aquatic environment is caused by the change in pH due to the release of OH- ions, because the toxicity caused by Na + ions is insignificant compared to the effect caused by the change in pH.
