amounts ingested may cause serious injury and death.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT: Skin absorption or ingestion: Long term exposure may cause bladder stones, kidney and liver
damage, deposition of calcium salts in various tissues. Ethylene Glycol has been shown to cause developmental and reproductive effects at high
dose levels in laboratory animals. The relationship of these results to humans has not been fully established.
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Based on animal and human testing data from similar materials and products, the acute toxicity of this product is
expected to be ORAL: LD50 > 1300 mg/kg (human) LD50 > 8500 mg/kg (rat)
