Increased Worker Safety
The safety of sodium bicarbonate to workers is well understood, since it has been in use for some 160 years.
The bicarbonate buffer system is the major extra-cellular buffer for the human body, thus sodium bicarbonate is part of the body’s normal chemistry. Sodium bicarbonate and thus, Natrium 260 soda blast media is not toxic via ingestion, inhalation or dermal contact, nor is it a skin or eye irritant as defined by EPA and OSHA. Any risk to workers is primarily the contaminant or coating removed during the blasting process.
