SECTION 2: Hazards identification

IDENTIFICATION General: Limited toxicity data are available on this specific product; this health hazard assessment is based on the results of screening tests. Emergency Overview: Appearance: Amber to red-brown liquid. (may be hazy); amine odor CAUSES EYE BURNS. REPEATED/PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. INHALATION OR INGESTION MAY CAUSE MUCOUS MEMBRANE IRRITATION. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. BASED ON ETHYLENE GLYCOL - INHALATION (TLV), HARMFUL (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION, KIDNEY, LIVER AND BRAIN INJURY, AND HARMFUL TO DEVELOPING OFFSPRING). 3 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Cont.)

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye contact; Skin contact; Inhalation Symptoms of Overexposure (Acute & Chronic): Eye contact: This material can induce chemical burns on contact with human eyes. Skin contact: Short contact periods with human skin can result in skin irritation. Repeated contact can result in skin burns. Prolonged contact can result in skin burns. This material may be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Inhalation: Inhalation of this material will probably cause irritation to respiratory passages. No toxic effects are known to be associated with inhalation of this material. Vapor inhalation hazard of ethylene glycol is low because of low vapor pressure. Ingestion: In humans, irritation of the mouth, pharynx and esophagus can develop following ingestion of this product. This material may be harmful if swallowed. In humans, acute ingestion of ethylene glycol, a component of this material, can result in central nervous system depression and kidney injury which can be fatal. The lethal dose for ethylene glycol in man is estimated to be 1.4 ml/kg.

Potential chronic health

Overexposure to ethylene glycol can result in CNS depression and kidney damage. Ethylene glycol has also caused birth defects in long-term feeding studies in rats and mice. However, earlier NTP studies showed no adverse effects on either the reproductive system or reproductive performance of rats and mice. ______________________________________________________________________________ 4 4 FIRST
