EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION DNEL Values In view of its physicochemical properties, the physiological role of its constituent ions, and its toxicological properties, exposure to NazCO, is considered to have no systemic effects. Sodium carbonate rapidly dissociates into Na" (sodium) and CO,” (carbonate), when in contact with any body fluid. Sodium is an essential metal, present in vertebrates in relatively high levels under physiological conditions, Carbonate is a component of the extracellular buffer in the blood and the interstitial fluid of vertebrates, ie. the bicarbonate buffer system. The uptake of sodium, via exposure to sodium caroonate via any route, is expected to be much less than the uptake of sodium via food (recommended daily dietary intake has been reported in the range of 3.1 to 6.0 9). Systemic effects Exposure to sodium carbonate is, therefore, not expected to result into systemic effects. This is supported by absence of any observed systemic effects in performed developmental toxicity studies, “Therefore, ne DNEL. ‘and DINE ang erm «yeame derivations are necessary. Local effects Itmay be thought that the substance could induce local effects upon contact with ports of entry at high concentration: dissolution of NagCO, may induce local pH changes, which may cause local effects upon SODA SOLVAY & ‘Soda Ash Date = 01.11.2076 Rev. SAFETY DATA SHEET Date : 15.09.2020 According to Page: 6/12 IRevisionNo : 03 EU_Reguiation No (EC) 453/2010 a fa single or repeated exposure, Available studies fo establish a DNELo~ for the various routes of exposure will be discussed hereafter. Oral route (Oral uptake of reasonable amounts of sodium carbonate will result in 2 neutralisation in the stomach due to the presence of gastric acid. Sodium carbonate is not classified for acute oral toxicity, due to its relatively low oral toxicity (LDso = 2600 mg/kg, rat). Therefore, itis not considered necessary to derive a DNELicca for oral exposure to sodium carbonate. Dermal route ‘Several derma irritation studies have been described, both with animals and human volunteers. Since no iritation has been observed when sodium carbonate was applied to intact skin, 2 DNELocs 's not considered necessary for dermal exposure. Inhalation Sodium carbonate was tested in a repeated dose rat inhalation study, showing local effects after 3.5 months at the only tested exposure of 70 mgim®. However, this study was considered unreliable. Acute toxicity studies showed local effects at the lowest tested concentration of 500 mgim” in guinea pigs. AS both studies suffer from clear short-comings, itis not considered possible to derive a DNELaaite lat ANG DINELing tom, cea directly from this data. They do inform though on the location and type of lesions ‘observed, and in that way support the view that the histopathological changes observed are the direct consequence of the alkaline nature of sodium carbonate, i.e. via generation of OH-cations upon contacting body fluids. In accordance with Chapter R.8 of REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety ‘assessment, national Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) can be used in piace of a DNEL if an evaluation of the scientific background for its setting has been performed. Currently, no OEL has been ‘set by any country authority. However, Occupational Exposure Limits have been derived for other well known substances which have also local effects based on their alkaline properties ‘Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a well known alkaline and corrosive substance and the OEL is 2 mg/m’ in most countries based on information from the Ariel database. Calcium hydroxide (CaOH2) is not Corrosive but is irtating to the skin and the OEL is 5 mg/m’ in most countries (information from the Ariel database), Sodium carbonate is even less alkaline because it is not irritating to the skin but it is only irritating to the eyes. Therefore the OEL of sodium carbonate should be higher than 5 mgim®. It is assumed that the estimated OEL of sodium carbonate is only a factor 2 higher than the OEL of calcium hydroxide and this results in an OEL of 10 mgim’ for sodium carbonate. A value of 10 mgim’is similar to the general dust limit of inert dust (inhalable fraction). Eye ‘Sodium carbonate is classified as an eye irritant. As eye irritation studies have been performed using Undiluted tect cubstance, no dose-reeponse data could be obtained to derive @ DNEL. Furthermore, no quantitative data on human eye irritation is available that could allow a DNEL to be set for eye exposure. PNEC Values SODA SOLVAY ‘Soda Ash Date [01.41.2076 Rev.
