Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses
Wherever practicable, synthetic methods should be designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health and the environment.

Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention
Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents, including releases, explosions, and fires.

When NaHCO3 is heated above about 80°C it begins to break down, forming sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide.

NaHCO3 --> Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O

the products are also less hazard and non-toxic, non-poisonous. This is in accordance with Green chemistry principles.
