Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CLEAR LIQUID WITH GLYCOL ODOR. MAY BE
IRRITANT TO EYES, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY BE FATAL IF
SWALLOWED. CHRONIC-IN VITRO MUTAGENICITY STUDIES WERE NEGATIVE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ETHYLENE GLYCOL DID NOT CAUSE CANCER IN
LONG TERM ANIMAL STUDIES.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE:IRRITATION, BLURRED VISION MAY RESULT.
SKIN: ON PROLONGED CONTACT MAY IRRITATE SKIN AND CAUSE DERMATITIS.
INHALATION: ROOM TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE TO VAPORS ARE MINIMAL DUE TO
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ETHYLENE GYLCOL. HIGHER TEMPERATURES
MAYRESULT IN DIZZINESS, NAUSEA AND OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS.
INGESTION: SMALL AMOUNTS MAY BE DRAWN INTO THE LUNGS BY EITHER
SWALLOWING OR VOMITING. THIS MAY CAUSE BUR NS AND INFLAMMATION AND
INFECTION TO THE BRONCHI. INGESTION MAY CAUSE BURNS TO THE
DIGESTIVE TRACT. THE LETHAL DOSE IS ESTIMATED TO BE 3 OZ OF 100%
ETHYLENE GLYCOL OR 100 ML.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING SKIN
CONDITIONS.

First Aid:INHALATION-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ADMINISTER OXYGEN AS NEEDED.
CALL A PHYSICIAN. EYE-FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. SKIN-WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING. IF I RRITATION DEVELOPS SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION-GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF WATER. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
SEEK MEDICAL HELP. EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM EFFECTS (METABOLIC AC IDOSIS) AND KIDNEY FAILURE. NOTE TO
PHYSICIAN: EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE UPPER
RESPIRATORY TRACT.

Flash Point Method:TCC
Flash Point:NONE TO BOILING
Lower Limits:3.2
Upper Limits:NOT DETERM.
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICALS, BC/ABC EXTINGUISHERS
Fire Fighting Procedures:KEEP PEOPLE AWAY. ISOLATE FIRE AREA & DENY
UNNECESSARY ENTRY. USE CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL MEDIA FOR
SMALL FIRES. WEAR POSITIVE-PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS & PROTECTIVE FIRE FIGH TING CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:KEEP DURMS COOL WHEN FIGHTING FIRE. WHEN
AVAILABLE OXYGEN IS LIMITED OR AT VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES, CARBON
MONOXIDE & OTHER HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDS SUCH AS ALDEHYDE MAY BE
GENERATED.

Spill Release Procedures:DIKE AREA. PICK UP SPILL WITH INERT
NONFLAMMABLE ABSORBENT MATERIAL. DISPOSE OF IN PROPER WASTE
DISPOSAL CONTAINER W/LID TIGHTLY COVERED. USE ABSORBENT MATERIAL TO
DRY AREA.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
DO NOT STORE NEAR FOOD, FOODSTUFF, DRUGS OR POTABLE WATER.
Other Precautions:NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: OBSERVATION IN ANIMALS INCLUDE
KIDNEY AND LIVER EFFECTS AND DEPOSITION OF CALCIUM SALTS IN VARIOUS
TISSUES AFTER LONG TERM DIETARY INTAKE. EARLY ADMINISTRATION OF
ETHANOL MAY COUNTE R THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF ETHYLENE
GLYCOL--METABOLIC ACIDOSIS AND RENAL DAMAGE.

Respiratory Protection:ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BELOW
EXPOSURE LEVELS. FOR MOST CONDITIONS NO PROTECTION IS NEEDED. IF
MATERIAL IS HEATED USE AN APPROVED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:USE MECHANICAL (GENERAL)/LOCAL EXHAUST TO KEEP EXPOSURE
BELOW GUIDELINES. KEEP AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME OR HEAT.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD OR SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:CHEMICAL RESISTANT CLOTHING AS NECESSARY TO
PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. AN EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND SHOWER SHOULD BE
AVAILABLE.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER
BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING OR USING TOILET FACILITIES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
STORE IN A COOL DRY PLACE. KEEP AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME OR HEAT. LOCAL
EXHAUST VENTILATION MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME OPERATIONS.

Toxicological Information:CANCER INFORMATION-ETHYLENE GYLCOL DID NOT
CAUSE CANCER IN LONG TERM ANIMAL STUDIES. TETRATOLOGY-EXPOSURE BY
INHALATION OR SKIN CONTACT (THE PRIMARY ROUTES FOR OCCUPATION
EXPOSURES) HAD A MINIMAL OR E SSENTIALLY NO EFFECT ON THE FETUS
DURING ANIMAL STUDIES. MUTAGENICITY-GROWTH RETARDATION, DIMINISHED
LITTER SIZE AND LOWER MATING FREQUENCY WRE OBSERVED IN MICE WHEN
FED LARGE AMOUNTS OF ETHYLENE GYLC OL.
