Sodium Hydroxide: Source - the sodium hydroxide summary risk assessment report JRC EC 2008

Production and use of sodium hydroxide is normally not expected to increase the pH of the environment. Even after an accidental release the substance will be neutralised finally and therefore the human exposure to sodium hydroxide via the environment is expected to be negligible. Therefore, no direct or systemic exposure is expected from sodium hydroxide.
