DANGER! HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. PROLONGED OR REPEATED BREATHING OF AEROSOL OR VAPOR IS HARMFUL. MAY CAUSE KIDNEY AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. CONTAINS ETHYLENE GLYCOL - CAUSES BIRTH DEFECTS IN LABORATORY ANIMALS.
Potential health effects
Effects of Single Acute Overexposure Inhalation May cause irritation of the nose and throat with headache, particularly from mist. High vapor concentrations caused, for example, by heating the material in an enclosed and poorly ventilated workplace, may produce nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and irregular eye movements. Eye Contact Injury to the cornea is not expected. Liquid, vapor, or mist causes irritation, experienced as stinging, excess blinking and tear production, with excess redness of the conjunctiva. Skin Contact No evidence of harmful effects from available information. Skin Absorption No evidence of harmful effects from available information. Swallowing May cause abdominal discomfort or pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, malaise, blurring of vision, irritability, lumbar pain, oliguria, uremia, and central nervous system effects, including irregular eye movements, convulsions and coma. Cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, and severe kidney damage may develop. May be fatal. A few reports have been published describing the development of weakness of the facial muscles, diminished hearing, and difficulty with swallowing, during the late stages of severe poisoning. Chronic, Prolonged or Repeated Overexposure Effects of Repeated Overexposure Repeated inhalation of ethylene glycol mist may produce signs of central nervous system 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.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
May aggravate an existing kidney disease.
