Potential Acute Health Effects

Eye Contact: Vapors or mists may cause eye irritation. May cause slight eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Skin Contact: Brief contact is essentially non-irritating to skin. Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. Repeated contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. 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. Massive contact with damaged skin or if material sufficiently hot to burn skin may result in absorption of potential lethal amounts. 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 ethylene glycol even though tests with animals show a lower degree of toxicity. Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and kidney failure. Swallowing may result in severe effects, even death. The lethal dose in adult humans for ethylene glycol is approximately 3 ounces (100 ml) (1/3 cup). May cause nausea or vomiting. May cause abdominal discomfort or diarrhea.
