Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include nonspecific discomfort,
symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed
reaction time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious
poisonings may result in respiratory depression and may be fatal.
Ingestion of propylene glycol produced reversible central nervous system
depression in humans following ingestion of 60 ml. Symptoms included increased
heart-rate (tachycardia), excessive sweating (diaphoresis) and grand mal
seizures in a 15 month child who ingested large doses (7.5 ml/day for 8 days) as
an ingredient of vitamin preparation.
Excessive repeated ingestions may cause hypoglycaemia (low levels of glucose in
the blood stream) among susceptible individuals; this may result in muscular
weakness, incoordination and mental confusion.
Very high doses given during feeding studies to rats and dogs produce central
nervous system depression (although one-third of that produced by ethanol),
haemolysis and insignificant kidney changes.
In humans propylene glycol is partly excreted unchanged in the urine and partly
metabolised as lactic and pyruvic acid. Lactic acidosis may result.
EYE
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause
eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals and/or may produce
significant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after
instillation into the eye(s) of experimental animals.
Repeated or prolonged eye contact may cause inflammation characterised by
temporary redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis);
temporary impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may
occur.
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
Limited evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material
either produces inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals
following direct contact, and/or produces significant inflammation when applied
to the healthy intact skin of animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation
being present twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period.
Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The dermatitis is
often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may
progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis.
At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under
EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry
through wounds, lesions or abrasions.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
INHALED
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material
during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by
EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of vapours, fumes or
aerosols, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort
and occasionally, distress.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. On the basis, primarily,
of animal experiments, concern has been expressed by at least one classification
body that the material may produce carcinogenic or mutagenic effects; in respect
of the available information, however, there presently exists inadequate data
for making a satisfactory assessment. There exists limited evidence that shows
that skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a
sensitisation reaction in a significant number of individuals, and/or of
producing positive response in experimental animals. Long term exposure to the
dusts of titanium and several of its compounds produces chronic lung disease
(fibrosis) in animals. Radiological evidence exists amongst titanium dioxide
workers suggesting chronic lung changes which resemble a slight form of
silicosis. Workers chronically exposed to titanium or titanium dioxide dusts
show a high incidence of chronic bronchitis (endobronchitis and peribronchitis).
Early stages of this disease are characterised by impaired pulmonary respiration
and ventilatory capacity and by reduced blood alkalinity. Cardiac changes
characteristic of pulmonary disease (with hypertrophy of the right auricle) have
also been observed amongst workers. An increased incidence of lung adenomas in
rats of both sexes and of cystic keratinising lesions, diagnosed as squamous
cell carcinomas in female rats, was seen in animals subject to high doses of
inhaled titanium dioxide. Intratracheal delivery of titanium dioxide in
combination with benz[a]pyrene produced an increase in benign and malignant
tumours of the larynx, trachea and lungs in hamsters. Propylene glycol is
though, by some, to be a sensitising principal following the regular use of
topical creams by eczema patients. A study of 866 persons using a formulation
containing propylene glycol in a patch test indicated that propylene glycol
caused primary irritation in 16% of exposed individuals probably caused by
dehydration. Undiluted propylene glycol was tested on 1556 persons in a 24 hour
patch test. 12.5% showed reactions which were largely toxic (70%) or allergic in

nature (30%). Reaction responses reached their maximum on the second day or
later. Reactions were seasonal in nature ranging from 17.8% in winter to 9.2% in
other seasons. In a patch-test using 25 standard allergens conducted on 500
individuals, propylene glycol ranked fourth in sensitising response. 84 subjects
were patch tested using 100% propylene glycol. as well as 2% and 5% in water.
With undiluted material, 15% demonstrated a reaction, with 40% of the reactions
being allergic in nature and 60% being irritant. In dilute solutions 5 of 248
subjects exhibited a reaction. Undiluted propylene glycol tested on the skin of
man produced no irritation under open conditions but when applied under
occlusive conditions, for 2 weeks, it produced severe erythema, oedema and
vesicles, probably due to sweat retention and weak primary irritation.
Predictive contact skin sensitisation tests indicate that propylene glycol is an
intermediate grade sensitiser with an index of 1% of tested subjects. Groups of
cats fed 5 gm/kg/day of propylene glycol for 14 weeks showed a significant
dose-related increase in red blood cell Heinz body formation without any marked
signs of haemolytic anaemia. The no-effect-level for cats without formation of
Heinz bodies is 100-500 ml/kg. There is no evidence of anaemia or degenerative
change. Groups of rats dosed orally with 0.5 or 10 mg/kg/day for 12 weeks had
lowered food intake but no adverse effects on body weights. Erythrocytes were
more fragile. Heinz bodies were not apparent.
