Alkalies

Bases (also called Alkalies or alkalines) are found in several household bleach, ammonia, drain cleaners, and oven cleaners. Bases have a pH range of 7.1 to 14.0 to 6.9, are corrosive and may cause severe skin irritations or burns on contact with living tissue. Bases should be disposed of as a hazardous waste
