EFFECTS OF OVEREXPO SURE
Acute Exposure: Sodium Bicarbonate is a GRAS (Generally recognized as Safe) food ingredient. No
significant toxicity is expected. Maybe irritating to the skin and eyes.
Chronic Exposure: Administration of large doses of Sodium Bicarbonate to patients with renal insufficiency
can produce Systemic Alkalosis.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists obtain medical attention.
Wash with soap and water for 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists obtain medical
Skin:
attention.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If discomfort occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Drink water to dilute. Obtain medical advice by phone.

SPECIAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Requirements:
Use general room dilution or local exhaust ventilation when excessive dust is
expected in the work environment.
Recommended Personal Protective equipment:
Respiratory: Wear MSHA -NIOSH approved Dust Respirator if excessive visible
dust levels are expected.
Eyes: Chemical Goggles
Glove: General purpose
Special Clothing and Equipment: Full cover clothing
Footwear: None
STORAGE AND HANDLING
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 dust respirator to prevent irritation where excessive dust
may be expected. 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 determined to be safe. Continue to monitor atmosphere for Oxygen deficiency.
DISPOSAL, SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Procedure for Sweep up as much as possible for Salvage or Disposal. Wash away residue with water.
release or Spill:
Waste Disposal If material cannot be salvaged, the preferred method of disposal is in a secured landfill in
method: accordance with all local, state and federal environmental regulations. Empty containers
may be incinerated or discarded as general trash.
