Section 3. Health Hazard Identification
Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Route(s) of Entry:
HARMFUL. May be harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and
Health Hazards:
skin. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Sodium Carbonate may cause eye burns.
(Acute and Chronic)
IARC Monographs? Group 3 (Sodium Metabisulfite) OSHA Regulated? No
Carcinogenicity:
The agent is not classifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans.
(International Agency for Research in Cancer)
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Symptoms of ingestion can include nausea and vomiting. Sodium Carbonate can
result in eye burns, conjuctival edema and corneal destruction. Some individuals are sensitive to minute amounts of sulfites.
Symptoms may include broncho-constriction, shock, gastrointestinal disturbances, and tingling sensations.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Prolonged contact with skin can cause redness, dermatitis, and
blisters. May be harmful if inhaled, causing respiratory tract irritation. Repeated exposure may cause allergic reactions in
certain sensitive individuals.
Section 4. First Aid Measures
Ingestion: If swallowed, wash out mouth with water, provided person is conscious. Never give anything
Emergency /
by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention.
First Aid
Procedures: Inhalation: If inhaled, supply fresh air or oxygen. Seek medical attention. If not breathing, apply artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Section 5. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Method Used): N/A Flammable Limits: LEL 鈥? N/A, UEL 鈥? N/A
Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: During heating or in case of fire, poisonous gases are produced. Fine dust
dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source, is a potential dust explosion hazard.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Shut off all sources of ignition, ventilate spill area. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and
eye protection. Wear self-containing breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Place contaminated
material in a chemical waste container.
Environmental Precautions:Do not allow to enter drains or water courses. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.
Clean-up Methods: Contact safety officer and ventilate area. Absorb spill with inert material, including dry-lime, sand, or
soda ash, then place into a chemical waste container using non-sparking tools. Wash spill site.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Protect against physical damage. Ensure good ventilation / exhaustion. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Do not use if skin is cut or scratched.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from incompatible material. Storage area should be cool, dry and well
ventilated. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues.
Other Precautions: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Ensure good ventilation. Prevent dust formation.
Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ACGIH TLV: N/A
3
OSHA: TWA 5 mg/m (Sodium Metabisulfite)
Engineering Measures: Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN
143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Proper ventilation, safety shower, and eye bath required.
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): With sufficient ventilation, breathing apparatus is not necessary. In the event of
possible spill / exposure, use dust mask to EN 149 FFP2S.
Ventilation: Local Exhaust: 50 鈥? 100 CFM Special: Safety shower and eye wash.
Protective Gloves: Chemical-resistant gloves. Eye Protection: Safety glasses/chemical goggles to EN 166, 167, & 168.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Uniform, lab coat, or disposable lab wear.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Follow the usual precautionary measure for handling chemicals / powder. Keep away from
food and beverages. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

Section 10. Stability and Reactivity
Unstable
Stability:
Stable X Conditions to Avoid: Stable under recommended storage conditions. Avoid excessive
heat and moisture. Sodium Metabisulfite gradually decomposes in air to sulfate,
generating sulfurous acid gas. Hygroscopic.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, bases, and reducing agents.
Sodium Carbonate reacts violently with acids to form CO2.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Carbon oxides, Sodium / Sodium oxide, Sulfur oxides, and Hydrogen
chloride gas.
May Occur
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will Not Occur X Conditions to Avoid: Incompatible materials and heat.
