SECTION 2: Hazards identification

NFPA HEALTH 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0 HMIS HEALTH 2 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0 IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS Eye: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Vapors or mists may cause eye irritation. Skin: Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Repeated skin exposure may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Massive contact with damaged skin or of material sufficiently hot to burn skin may result in absorption of potential lethal amounts. Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be moderate. Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing amounts larger than that may cause serious injury, even death. Inhalation: At room temperature, exposures to vapors are minimal due to physical properties; higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause adverse effects. Systemic (Other Target Organ) Effects: Repeated excessive exposures may cause severe kidney and liver and gastrointestinal effects. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects. Signs doses of ethylene glycol. Reports of kidney failure and death in burn patients suggest the ethylene glycol may have and symptoms of excessive exposure may be nausea and/or vomiting. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure MSDS: may be anesthetic or narcotic effects. Observations in animals include formation of bladder stones after repeated oral been a factor. The use of topical applications containing this material may not be appropriate in severely burned doses. CHAMPION® patients or individuals with impaired renal function.

Cancer information

Based on data from long-term animal studies, ethylene glycol is not believed to pose a carcinogenic risk to man. Teratology (Birth Defects): Exposure to ethylene glycol has caused birth defects in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother. Reproductive Effects: Ethylene glycol has not interfered with reproduction in animal studies except at very high DELAYED OR OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: Effects of Repeated Overexposure: Repeated inhalation of ethylene glycol mist may produce signs of central MSDS nervous system involvement, particularly dizziness and nystagmus. cause sensitization with the development of allergic contact dermatitis. The incidence is significantly less than 1% with Other Effects of Overexposure: repeated skin contact with ethylene glycol may, in a very small proportion of cases, 2010 the undiluted material. Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper lids. Get medical SERIES
