4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before re us e.
Inhalation: If mists are inhaled remove to fresh air. If not br e a thing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never
give anythi ng by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately.
Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically. Consider endoscopy in all suspected cases of sodium
carbonate poisoning. Perform blood analysis to determine if dehydration, acidosis, or
other electrolyte imbalances occurred.
5. Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing Me dia:
Non-Flammable. Any means available to fight surrounding fire.
Specific Hazards in Case of Fire:
None are known.
Special Protective Equipment and Precaution for Firefighters:
None. Use any equipment needed to fight surrounding fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautio ns and Equipment:
Caution: solution will make floor slippery. Wear appropriate protective equipment – goggles, neoprene coveralls,
neoprene, nitrile or latex gloves. If product is reacting with other materials use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Environmental Precautions:
Stop source of leak. Isolate spill by diking. Prevent spills from entering storm sewers or drains and contact with
soil.
Methods and Materi als for Containment and Cleaning up:
Transfer to non-leaking container or storage vessel. Neutralize with dilute acid such as acetic (vinegar) and flush
with water. Do not was h un-neutralized prod uct into sewers or waterways. If the location o f the spill d oes not
permit on site neutralization, absorb spill with inert material (diatomaceous earth) or absorbe nt pa ds. Clean up and
place in an approved DOT container and seal.

7. Handling and Stor a ge
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Protect against physical da mage. Do not get in eyes, on ski n or clothing. Do not breathe mists.
Isolate from incompatible substances. Observe all warnings and precautions listed for this product.
Practice good industrial hygiene. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep in a tightly closed container. Keep containers upright when not in use. Incompatible with acids. Reaction
with acids will emit carbon dioxide.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Contro ls:
Exhaust ventilation is not necessary. Avoid misting of product.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical s afety goggles and/or full-face shield where misting or splashing of solution is possible. Maintain an
eye wash fountain and a safety shower in the work area.
Skin Protection:
Avoid skin contact and use nitrile, latex, neopr ene or natural rubber gloves.
Respiratory Protection:
When there i s exposure to mist or if gas is evolved due to reaction with incompatible materials, use NIOSH/MSHA
approved dust/mist filter respir a tor.
Other Protective Equipment:
Rubber apron and boots are suggested. Eyewash and safety shower must be available.

11. Toxico logical Information
Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, Eye and Skin Contact, Inhalation of mists
Related Symptoms: Ingestion - Ingestion can be corrosive to the gastro-intestinal tract where sympto ms
may include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, collapse and death.
Eye Contact - Contact may be corrosive to eyes and cause conjunctival edema and
corneal destruction. Risk of serious injury increases if eyes are kept tightl y clo sed.
Other symptoms may appear from absorption into the bloodstream via the eyes.
Skin Contact - Excessive contact may cause irritation with blistering and redness.
Inhalation of Mist - Inhalation of solution mist can cause nasal and respiratory
irritation. More severe burns and upper respiratory tissue damage can occur at higher
concentrations. Pneumonitis can result from severe exposure.
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause sensitization.
Toxicity Data: For Sodium Carbonate: Oral rat LD50: 4090 mg/kg; inhalation rat LC50: 2300
mg/m3/2H; irritation eye rabbit: 5 0 mg severe; investigated as a mutagen,
reproductive effector.
Carcinogenic: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No Other: No
12. Ecological Information
Ecotoxicity: For Tetra sodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate: Ecotoxicity in water (LC50): 7 60 mg/l
96 hours [Bull gill sunfish]. 59.8 mg/l 96 hours [Fathead Minnow].
Products of Biodegradation: For all ingredients in Section 3: Possibly hazardous short term degradation products
are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise.
Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation: The products of degradation are less toxic than the product itself.
