    SYSTEMIC ALKALOSIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE EXPOSURE: SODIUM BICARBONATE IS A GRAS
    (GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS SAFE) FOOD INGREDIENT. NO SIGNIFICANT
    TOXICITY IS EXPECTED. MAY BE IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES.
    CHRONIC EXPOSURE: ADMINISTRATI ON OF LARGE DOSES OF SODIUM
    BICARBONATE TO PATIENTS WITH RENAL INSUFFICIENCY CAN PRODUCE
    SYSTEMIC ALKALOSIS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

Eyes: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SKIN: WASH
    WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION OCCURS AND
    PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE FROM
    EXPOSURE. IF DISCOMF ORT OCCURS AND PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INGESTION: DRINK WATER TO DILUTE. OBTAIN MEDICAL ADVICE
    BY PHONE. DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
    NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: INTERNAL T OXICITY IS LOW. TREATMENT FOLLOWS
    STANDARD PROTOCOLS AND IS OTHERWISE SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY AREAS AND AWAY FROM
    OTHER CHEMICALS THAT MAY CONTAMINATE PRODUCT. MINIMIZE THE FREE
    FALL WHEN HANDLING TO MINIMIZE THE DUST GENERATED. WEAR EYE
    PROTECTION AND MSHA/NIOSH APPROVED DU ST RESPIRATOR TO PREVENT
    IRRITATION WHERE EXCESSIVE DUST MAY BE EXPECTED.
Other Precautions:CARBON DIOXIDE GAS CAN FORM IN CONFINED SPACES IF
    SODIUM BICARBONATE CONTACTS ACIDS. DO NOT ENTER CONFINED SPACES
    UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN WELL VENTILATED AND CARBON DIOXIDE AND OXYGEN
    LEVELS HAVE BEEN DE TERMINED TO BE SAFE. CONTINUE TO MONITOR
    ATMOSPHERE FOR OXYGEN DEFICIENCY.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:WEAR MSHA-NIOSH APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR IF
    EXCESSIVE VISIBLE DUST LEVELS ARE EXPECTED.
