SECTION 2. Composition and Information on Dangerous Ingredients
EXPOSURE LIMIT
NAME CAS # % WEIGHT (ACGIH)
TLV-TWA TLV-STEL
Ethylene Glycol 107-21-1 0.1-1 100 mg/m3 Not established
SECTION 3. Potential Health Effects
(Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure)
SKIN CONTACT:
Ethylene Glycol:
Liquid may cause irritation. Human information is not available, but ethylene glycol was a mild irritant in an animal study. Ethylene glycol a mild irritant
in an animal study. Ethylene glycol can be absorbed through skin damaged by eczema. Extent of absorption through undamaged skin is unknown.
However, animal studies suggest that toxic effects could occur as a result of extensive and prolonged skin contact. Symptoms may be similar to those
described for ingestion. (1)
EYE CONTACT:
Ethylene Glycol:
Liquid may cause irritation. Vapour and mist may cause irritation. Human information is not available, but some animals exposed to ethylene glycol
continuously for several days developed eye irritation. (1)
INHALATION:
Ethylene Glycol:
Vapour and mist can cause irritation of the nose and throat. Vapour concentrations are normally too low at room temperature to cause significant toxic
effects from vapour alone. Exposure to vapour and mists is possible, however at elevated temperatures, and adverse effects have been reported from
exposure to mists. (1)

INGESTION:
Ethylene Glycol:
Ethylene glycol can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and weakness, as well as drunkenness, dizziness, stupor, convulsions and coma (symptoms
of depression of the central nervous system). Death could result from respiratory arrest or cardiovascular collapse. In humans, a dose of 100 ml may
cause death. If the victim survives, kidney failure may develop within the next several days. In some instances, vision disturbances have been reported.
The persistence of these lesions could not be determined. (1)
Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure
SKIN SENSITIVITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
Two cases of sensitization to ethylene glycol have been reported in people occupationally exposed to this chemical during polishing and cutting of glass
lenses. (1)
INGESTION:
Ethylene Glycol:
Human information is not available, but animals studies indicate that repeated ingestion can cause formation of bladder and kidney stones, as well as
kidney damage. (1)
CARCINOGENICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
No human information. Not carcinogenic in animal studies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has not evaluated the carcinogenicity
of this chemical. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has designated this chemical as not classifiable as a human
carcinogen (A4). The US National Toxicology Program (NTP) has not listed this chemical in its report on carcinogens. (1)
TERATOGENICITY, EMBRYOTOXICITY, FETOTOXICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
No human information. Embryotoxic and teratogenic in animal feeding studies at high doses which were not maternally toxic. (1)
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
No human information. In an animal study, long-term ingestion of ethylene glycol did not affect fertility of male or female rats. (1)
MUTAGENICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
No human information. An in-vivo animal study was negative. (1)
TOXICOLOGICALLY SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS:
Ethylene Glycol:
Information not available.
POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATION:
MEthylene Glycol:
Ethylene glycol is broken down in the body and excreted. Break-down products include glycolic acid and oxalic acid, which are thought to play a role in
some of the toxic effects observed. (1)
SECTION 4. First Aid Measures
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
EYE CONTACT:
Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
INHALATION:
In case of gas or vapor inhalation, move victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give respiratory assistance. Obtain
medical assistance.
SWALLOWING:
Do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact local poison control center. Should vomiting occur, be sure to keep the victim's head below hips to avoid
aspiration of vomit into the lungs. Maintain the victim at rest and obtain immediate medical attention.

LD50 (dermal, rabbit): 9.5 g/kg
Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure
EYE IRRITATION:
Ethylene Glycol:
LIQUID (rabbit): Application of 0.5 ml undiluted ethylene glycol did not cause irritation.
VAPOUR: Animals exposed to 57 mg/m?(23 ppm) ethylene glycol, 8 hr/day, 5 days/week for 6 weeks did not develop irritation.
Rats and rabbits exposed continuously to 12 mg/m?(4.8 ppm) ethylene glycol for several days exhibited moderate to severe
irritation. Irritation was not observed in guinea pigs, monkeys or dogs. (1)
SKIN IRRITATION:
Ethylene Glycol:
Application of 555 mg (0.5 ml) was reported to cause mild irritation (original not available). (1)
Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure
INHALATION:
Ethylene Glycol:
Toxic effects were not observed in animals. (1)
INGESTION (rat, monkey):
Ethylene Glycol:
Repeated ingestion of ethylene glycol caused bladder and kidney stone formation, and kidney damage. Males seemed more susceptible to toxic effects
of ethylene glycol than females. (1)
CARCINOGENICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
Ethylene glycol did not produce tumours in rats when administered as 1% of the diet for 2 years. In other studies, ethylene glycol did not cause tumours
in rats or mice when injected repeatedly under the skin. (1)
EMBRYOTOXICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
Embryotoxicity (for example, decreased birth weight and survival) was observed in offspring of mice given 1% ethylene glycol in their drinking water
over 14 weeks, but not in offspring of rats fed 1000 mg/kg/day, over 3 generations. Parental toxicity was not significant in these studies. Embryotoxicity
was seen when mice were fed 750-3000 mg/kg/day for several days during pregnancy. In a similar study with rats, embryotoxicity was seen at doses
of 2500-5000 mg/kg/day but not at 1250 mg/kg/day. Maternal toxicity was not significant in these studies. Birth weight and length were decreased in
offspring of rats fed 1078 or 1595 mg/kg/day for 10 days during pregnancy. Maternal toxicity was not discussed in the English abstract (translation of
paper not available). (1)
TERATOGENICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
Malformations were seen in offspring of mice fed 750-3000 mg/kg/day and rats fed 1250-5000 mg/kg/day for several days during pregnancy. Maternal
toxicity was not significant in these studies. Malformations were not seen in offspring of rats fed up to 1000 mg/kg/day for several days during pregnancy.
In another study, rats were fed 253-1595 mg/kg/day for 10 days during pregnancy. Doses of 1078 and 1595 mg/kg were teratogenic (e.g. fissure in wall
of abdomen, brain located outside the skull, harelip, rib malformations). Maternal toxicity was not discussed in the English abstract (translation of paper
not available. (1)
FERTILITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
No effects on fertility were observed when male and female rats were fed up to 1000 mg/kg day over 3 generations. (1)
MUTAGENICITY:
Ethylene Glycol:
Not mutagenic to bacteria. Mutagenic in studies with isolated mammalian cells. Did not cause an increase in dominant lethal mutations in offspring of
male rats fed 1000 mg/kg/day for approximately 14 weeks prior to mating. (1)
