How to prevent sodium hydroxide toxicity?
- Skin and Eye Irritation. Sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali, and it is highly caustic. If it comes into contact with the skin or eyes, it can react with natural oils and moisture, causing significant irritation or severe burns.
- Chemical Burns. Sodium hydroxide can react with the skin and cause chemical burns. These burns can range from mild irritation to severe tissue damage, depending on the concentration and duration of exposure.
- Inhalation Hazards. When sodium hydroxide is in a solid state, it can generate dust. In solution, it can create aerosols, both of which can cause damage to the respiratory tract if inhaled.
- Ingestion Hazards. Ingestion of sodium hydroxide can cause serious harm, leading to mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract burns. Preventive measures include storing sodium hydroxide in clearly labeled containers to avoid confusion and strictly maintaining a policy of no food, drink, or smoking in areas where chemicals are used.
