2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Eye irrit. (Category 2A) GHS Label information: Hazard statement: H319: Causes serious eye irritation. Ca Prop 65. This product does not contain any chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or any other reproductive harm. EIN.E_~ Sodium carbonate 497-19-8 207-838-8 First Aid Measures INGESTION: Call physician or Poison Control Center immediately_ Induce vomiting only if advised by appropriate medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Check for and remove contact lenses. Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN ABSORPTION: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush thoroughly with mild soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention. Extinguishing Media: Use any media suitable for extinguishing supporting fire. General information: In fire conditions, wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Sodium carbonate reacts with hydrated lime to form caustic soda. Special care should be taken where lime and sodium carbonate are handled in the same area. Accidental Release Measures Evacuate personnel to safe area. Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Provide adequate ventilation. Recover for use if not contaminated. Sweep or vacuum up and place in a suitable container for proper disposal. Wash spill area with soap and water. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. KI032735C Sodium carbonate anhydrous Page E2 of E2 Read label on container before using. Do not wear contact lenses when working with chemicals. Keep container tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid ingestion. Do not inhale dusts. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove and wash clothing before reuse. _ NIOSH (~EL) None established. Engineering controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower and fire extinguishing material. Personnel should wear safety glasses, goggles, or faceshield, lab coat or apron, appropriate protective gloves. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Respiratory protection: None should be needed in nonmallaboratory handling at room temperatures. If dusty conditions prevail, work in fume hood or wear a NIOSH/MSHA- approved respirator.
