International Chemical Safety Cards SODIUM CITRATE PENTAHYDRATE ICSC: 1220 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: The solution in water is a weak base. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK: IIb, see Notes. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract . EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Solubility in water: good ENVIRONMENTAL DATA N O T E S MAK value not established but full documentation is available (MAK IIb) for citric acid and its alkali metal salts.
