SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Slight odor. May be fatal if swallowed. Vapors can cause eye irritation. Lowest Known LD50 (Oral) 107-21-1 >5000 mg/kg (Rats) Lowest Known LD50 (Skin) 107-21-1 >8000 mg/kg (Rabbits) HAZARD RATING SYSTEM NFPA HEALTH 1 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0 HMIS HEALTH 2 FLAMMABILITY: 1 REACTIVITY: 0 KEY: 0 – Minimal 1 – Slight 2 - Moderate 3 - Serious 4 - Severe

Potential Acute Health Effects

Inhalation At room temperature, exposures to vapors are minimal due to physical properties; higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause adverse effects. 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 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. Systemic (Other Target Organ) The signs and symptoms in ethylene glycol poisoning are those of metabolic acidosis, central Effects nervous system depression and kidney injury. Clinical chemistry may reveal anion-gap metabolic acidosis and uremia. Treatment with ethanol to inhibit the metabolism of glycol to oxalate.Early administration of ethanol may counter the toxic effects of ethylene glycol (cardiopulmonary effects attributed to metabolic acidosis and renal damage). Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis have been of benefit. Pre-existing respiratory and skin disorders may be aggravated by over-exposure to this product. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

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 doses. CHRONIC, PROLONGED OR REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE Effects of Repeated Repeated inhalation of ethylene glycol mist may produce signs of central nervous system Overexposure involvement, particularly dizziness and nystagmus. Other Effects of Overexposure repeated skin contact with ethylene glycol may, in a very small proportion of cases, cause sensitization with the development of allergic contact dermatitis. The incidence is significantly less than 1% with the undiluted material.
