Furthermore, as it is relatively innocuous in most situations, there is no harm in using excess sodium bicarbonate. Lastly, sodium bicarbonate powder may be used to smother a small fire.[3]A wide variety of applications follows from its neutralization properties, including reducing the spread of white phosphorus from incendiary bullets inside an afflicted soldier's wounds.[4] Sodium bicarbonate can be added as a simple solution for raising the pH balance of water (increasing total alkalinity) where high levels of chlorine (2-5 ppm) are present  as in swimming pools and aquariums.[5]Medical uses[සංස්කරණය]සෝඩියම් බයිකාබනේට් හයිඩ්රජන් ද්රාවණයක දී අම්ල භ්රෑණය සහ හෘද ස්පන්දනයට ප්රතිකාර කිරීම සඳහා වාචික ලෙස භාවිතා කරයි. නිදන්ගත වකුගඩු අ
