SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Hazards Emergency Overview Color: Colorless to yellow Physical State: Liquid. Odor: Mild

Signal word

WARNING! Harmful if swallowed. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause eye irritation. Isolate area.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause pain disproportionate to the level of irritation to eye tissues. May cause slight temporary eye irritation. May cause slight temporary corneal injury. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Repeated skin exposure to large quantities may result in absorption of harmful amounts. ®(TM)*Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow") or an affiliated company of Dow Skin Sensitization: Contains component(s) which caused allergic skin reactions when tested in mice. Inhalation: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility. With good ventilation, single exposure is not expected to cause adverse effects. If material is heated or areas are poorly ventilated, vapor/mist may accumulate and cause respiratory irritation and symptoms such as headache and nausea. Ingestion: Oral toxicity is expected to be moderate in humans due to diethylene glycol even though tests with animals show a lower degree of toxicity. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. The data presented are for the following material: Diethylene glycol. Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure. May cause nausea and vomiting. May cause abdominal discomfort or diarrhea. Effects of Repeated Exposure: Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in humans: Kidney. Gastrointestinal tract. Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in animals: Bladder. Respiratory tract. Gastrointestinal tract. Kidney. Liver. Central nervous system. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Diethylene glycol has caused toxicity to the fetus and some birth defects at maternally toxic, high doses in animals. Other animal studies have not reproduced birth defects even at much higher doses that caused severe maternal toxicity. Reproductive Effects: Diethylene glycol did not interfere with reproduction in animal studies except at very high doses.
