| Other Toxic Effects on Humans | Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation (lung irritant). |
| Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals | LDL (Lowest Published Lethal Dose) [Man] - Route: Oral; Dose: 714 mg/kg |
| Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans | May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data |
| Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans |
Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation with possible burns depending on the concentration, site (abraded or intact skin), and duration of exposure. Eyes: Causes eye irritation and possible burns. Concentrated solutions may cause permanent corneal injury (permanent corneal opacity). Ingestion: Sodium carbonate ingestion may cause irritation of the digestive tract resulting in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, abdominal pain depending on concentration and amount ingested. May also affect the cardiovascular system . Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory tract and mucous membrane irritation with coughing and shortness of breath (dyspnea), pulmonary edema. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Chronic inhalation may result in decreased pulmonary function, nasal congestion, nosebleeds, perforation of the nasal septum. Other effects of chronic exposure are skin (dermatitis and ulceration), and gastrointestinal complaints. However, the effects of chronic exposure seem to be reversible if exposure is decreased. |
