Published studies of the toxicity of sodium hydroxide aerosols are few. These studies were generally marred by inadequate characterization of particle size and chemical compositon and of the ambient humidity. Because NaOH aerosols can readily undergo reaction with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate, a much less alkaline (and less hygroscopic) compound, these shortcomings may warrant a reconsideration of the NaOH standard and the consideration of a Na2CO3 standard.
已发表的关于氢氧化钠气溶胶毒性的研究很少。这些研究通常因对粒径、化学成分和环境湿度的表征不足而存在缺陷。由于氢氧化钠气溶胶可轻易与二氧化碳反应形成碳酸钠，一种碱性和吸湿性都低得多的化合物，这些缺陷可能需要重新考虑氢氧化钠标准，并考虑制定碳酸钠标准。
