2.3 Other hazards
As regards the environment, sodium is very rapidly broken down into first soda, then sodium carbonate (soda ash), and does not therefore present a danger in the medium or long term or any risk of accumulation. On the other hand, in the short term, reaction with moisture can cause fires and the soda produced can be very toxic for the aquatic environment (pH effect).
