SECTION 4 ?FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point: (Test Methods): Not Applicable
Flammable Limits in Air: (% by volume): Not established
Extinguishing Media: Apply alcohol-type or all-purpose type foams by
manufacturers
Recommended techniques for large fires. Use CO2 dry chemical media
for small fires
Special fire fighting procedure: Do not spray pool fires directly; a solid
stream of
water or foam directed into hot burning liquid can cause frothing. Use
self-contained
breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

SECTION 5 ?HEALTH HAZARD DATA
TLV & SOURCE: SEE SECTION 3
EFFECT OF SINGLE OVEREXPOSURE:
Swallowing: May cause abdominal discomfort or pain, nausea, vomiting,
dizziness, malaise, blurring of vision, irritability, lumbar pain, oliguria, urenia
and central nervous system effects, including irregular eye movements,
convulsions and coma. Cardiac failure and pulmonary eczema may
develop. Severe kidney damage follows the swallowing of large volumes
of ethylene glycol may be fatal. A few reports have been published
describing the development of weakness of the facial muscles, diminished
hearing and difficulty with swallowing, during the late stages of severe
poisoning.
Skin Absorption: No evidence of adverse effects from available
information.
Skin Contact: No evidence of adverse effects from available information.
Inhalation: May cause irritation of the nose and throat with headache,
particularly from mists. High vapor concentrations caused, for example,
by heating the material in an enclosed and poorly ventilated work place,
may produce nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness and irregular eye
movements.
Eye Contact: Liquid, vapor and mist may cause discomfort in the eye with
persistent conjunctivitis, seen as sight excess redness of conjunctiva.
Serious corneal injury is not anticipated.
Effects of Repeated Overexposure: Inhalation of mist may produce signs of
central nervous system involvement, particularly dizziness and nystagmus.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: The available
toxicology information and knowledge of the physical and chemical
properties of the material suggest that overexposure is unlikely to
aggravate existing medical conditions.
Significant Laboratory Data with Possible Relevance to Human Health
Hazard Evaluation:
Ethylene Glycol has been shown to produce dose-related teratogenic
effects in rats and mice when given by lavage or in drinking water at high
concentrations or doses.
The no-effect dose for developmental toxicity in the mouse receiving
ethylene glycol by lavage has been determined to be 150 mg/kg/day
over the period of organogenesis. Also, in a preliminary study to assess the
effects of exposure of pregnant rats and mice to aerosols at
concentrations 150, 1000, and 2500 mg/m3 for six (6) hours a day
throughout the period of organogenesis, teratogenic effects were
produced at the highest concentration, but only in mice.
GLYCLEAN RECYCLED ANTIFREEZE 2 ?6
The conditions of these latter experiments did not allow a conclusion as to
whether inhalation of aerosol, percutaneous absorption of ethylene glycol
from contaminated skin or swallowing of ethylene glycol as a result of
grooming the wetted coat mediated the developmental toxicity. In a
further study, comparing effects from high aerosol concentration by
whole body or nose only exposure, it was shown that nose-only exposure
resulted in maternal toxicity (1000 and 2500 mg/m3). The no-effects
concentration (based on maternal toxicity) was 500 mg/m3. Ethylene
glycol was applied to the skin of pregnant mice over the period of
organogenesis. The above observations suggest that ethylene glycol is to
be regarded as an animal teratogen; there is currently no available
information to suggest that ethylene glycol has caused birth defects in
humans. Coetaneous application of ethylene glycol is ineffective in
producing developmental toxicity; exposure to high aerosol
concentration is only minimally effective in producing developmental
toxicity; the major route for producing developmental toxicity is perorally.
Two chronic feeding studies, using rats and mice, have not produced any
evidence that ethylene glycol causes dose-related increases in tumor
incidence, or a different pattern of tumors compared to untreated
controls. The absence of a carcinogenic potential for ethylene glycol has
been supported by numerous in vitro genotoxicity studies showing that it
does not produce mutagenic or clastogenic effects.
Other Effects of Overexposure:
Repeated skin contact may, in a very small proportion of cases, cause
sensitization with the development of allergic contact dermatitis. The
incidence is significantly less than 1% with the undiluted material.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Swallowing: If conscious, give two (2) glasses of water and induce
vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and flush skin with water.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if discomfort persists.
Eyes: Immediately flush with water and continue washing the eyes for
several minutes.
Notes to Physician: The principal toxic effects of ethylene glycol, when
swallowed, are kidney damage and metabolic acidosis. Ethanol is
antidotal and its early administration may block the formation of
nephrotoxic met abolites of ethylene glycol in the liver. Ethanol should be
given intravenously, as a 5% solution sodium bicarbonate at a rate of
about 10ml ethanol per hour. A desired therapeutic level of ethanol in
blood is 100 mg/dl. Hermodialysis may be required. 4-Methylpyrazole, a
potent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, has been used therapeutically
to decrease the metabolic consequences of ethylene glycol poisoning
before coma, seizure, and renal failure have occurred (20 mg/kg/day).

Pulmonary edema with hypoxemia has been described in a number of
patients following poisoning with ethylene glycol. The mechanism of
production has not been elucidated, but it appears to be
noncardiogenic in origin in several cases. Respirat ory support with
mechanical ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure may be
required.
There may be cranial nerve involvement in the late stages of toxicity from
swallowed ethylene glycol. In particular, effects have been reported
involving the seventh, eighth and ninth cranial nerves, presenting with
bilaterial facial paralysis, diminished hearing and dysphagia.

SECTION 7 ?SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear suitable protective equipment. Small spills should be flushed with
large
