  SECTION III      HEALTH HAZARD IDENTIFICATION



  POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: This product can be used safely when applicable precautions are

  observed.



  This product contains Ethylene Glycol (less than 20%). Ethylene glycol's vapor pressure is such that at room

  temperature toxic concentrations are unlikely to occur. (Industrial Exposure and Control Technologies for

  OSHA Regulated Hazardous Substance). Exposure to mist and vapors of ethylene glycol is possible, however,

  at elevated temperatures, and adverse effects have been reported from exposure to mists. (ACGIH.

  Documentation of Threshold Limit Values).

  Acute animal tests in rats, mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs have demonstrated ethylene glycol to have moderate

  acute toxicity by inhalation or dermal exposure and low to moderate acute toxicity by ingestion. (DHHS,

  Registry of Toxic effects of Chemical Substances. National Toxicology Information Program).

  An epidemiologic study on renal cancer mortality did not find an increased risk for workers exposed to ethylene

  glycol. (ATSDR. Toxicological Profile for Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol).

  A study by the National Toxicology Program did not find an increased incidence of tumors in mice exposed to

  ethylene glycol in the diet. (NTP. Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies of Ethylene Glycol).

  EPA has not classified ethylene glycol for carcinogenicity.



  The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has not classified ethylene glycol as

  a human carcinogen. The Threshold Limit Value has been set to minimize irritation of the respiratory passages.

  (ACGIH. Documentation of Threshold Limit Values).The



  Inhalation: Inhalation seems to result primarily in central nervous system depression and hematopoietic

  dysfunction. (Industrial Exposure and Control Technologies for OSHA Regulated Hazardous Substances. The

  only effects were noted in a study of individuals exposed to low levels of ethylene glycol by inhalation for

  about a month were throat and upper respiratory tract irritation. (ATSDR. Toxicological Profile for Tthyleen

  Glycol and Propylene Glycol).

Skin Contact: The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but washing the affected area with

soap and clean water is advisable. Skin sensitization due to exposures to ethylene glycol has been suggested by

OSHA. However, there is no "Skin" designation by ACGIH. (Skin notation refers to the potential significant

contribution to the overall exposure by the cutaneous route, including mucous membranes and the eyes, either

by contact with vapors, or, of probably greater significance, by direct skin contact with the substance. ACGIH).



Exposures to ethylene glycol may cause dryness and cracking of the skin. Harmful if ethylene glycol is

absorbed by the skin.

Eye Contact: Ocular irritation and lesions and pulmonary inflammation have been observed in rats, rabbits,

and guinea pigs subchronically exposed by inhalation. (USEPA. Health Effects Assessment for Ethylene Glycol,

EPA/600/8-68/038). May cause chemical conjunctivitis.

Ingestion: Ethylene glycol constitutes a hazard when ingested, (e.g. drinking antifreeze fluid). Transient

stimulation of Central Nervous System followed by depression, vomiting, drowsiness, coma, respiratory failure,

convulsitons, and renal damage, (Merck Index). Ingestion of ethylene glycol can result in intoxication,

resembling that due to alcohol, with ataxia, drowsiness, and slurred speech, possibly stupor, coma, convulsions,

and death.



CARCINOGENITY INFORMATION: NONE OF THE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN THIS MIXTURE AT CONCEN-

 TRATIONS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 0.1% ARE LISTED BY IARK, NTP, OSHA, OR ACGIH AS A

 CARCINOGEN.



SECTION IV    FIRST AID MEASURES





 INHALATION: No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not likely to be hazardous by

 inhalation. Consult a physician if necessary.



 Occupational exposure by inhalation to ethylene glycol is rare (USDOL). If inhaled, remove to fresh air.

 If not breathing give artificial respiration. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat as necessary



 SKIN CONTACT: The compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but washing the affected

 area with soap and water is advisable.



 Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with water, using soap, if available. If irritation persists,

 seek medical attention.



 EYE CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

 If discomfort persists, call a physician immediately.

 Immediately flush eyes with large amount of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

 attention.

 INGESTION: No specific intervention is indicated as the compound is not likely to be hazardous by

 small

 amounts of ingestion. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely

 to cause injury; however, swallowing amounts larger than that may cause serious injury. Consult a

 physician if necessary.

 If swallowed and a gag reflex is present, give 4 ?8 ounces of water for dilution. Never give anything by

 mouth to an unconscious patient or one that cannot swallow or is drooling. So not use emetics. Seek

 medical attention.
