Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
- Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol:
- Early treatment of ingestion is important. Ensure emesis is satisfactory.
- Test and correct for metabolic acidosis and hypocalcaemia.
- Apply sustained diuresis when possible with hypertonic mannitol.
- Evaluate renal status and begin haemodialysis if indicated. [I.L.O]
- Rapid absorption is an indication that emesis or lavage is effective only in
the first few hours. Cathartics and charcoal are generally not effective.
- Correct acidosis, fluid/electrolyte balance and respiratory depression in the
usual manner. Systemic acidosis (below 7.2) can be treated with intravenous
sodium bicarbonate solution.
- Ethanol therapy prolongs the half-life of ethylene glycol and reduces the
formation of toxic metabolites.
- Pyridoxine and thiamine are cofactors for ethylene glycol metabolism and
should be given (50 to 100 mg respectively) intramuscularly, four times per day
for 2 days.
- Magnesium is also a cofactor and should be replenished. The status of
4-methylpyrazole, in the treatment regime, is still uncertain. For clearance of
the material and its metabolites, haemodialysis is much superior to peritoneal
dialysis.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]
It has been suggested that there is a need for establishing a new biological
exposure limit before a workshift that is clearly below 100 mmol ethoxy-acetic

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for the reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.
Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.

INGREDIENT DATA
ETHYLENE GLYCOL:
Odour Threshold: 25 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for ethylene glycol, measuring in excess of 10 mg/m鲁,
are commercially available.
It appears impractical to establish separate TLVs for ethylene glycol
vapour and mists. Atmospheric concentration that do not cause discomfort
are unlikely to cause adverse effects. The TLV-C is thought to be
protective against throat and respiratory irritation and headache reported
in exposed humans. NIOSH has not established a limit for this substance
due to the potential teratogenicity associated with exposure and because
respiratory irritation reported at the TLV justified a lower value.
WATER:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- Eyewash unit.
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine
the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information
consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational
Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
storage areas.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.
EYE
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles,
scaling and thickening of the skin.
INHALED
The vapour may produce discomfort of the upper respiratory tract. Inhalation
hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Acute effects from inhalation of high vapour concentrations may be chest and
nasal irritation with coughing, sneezing, headache and even nausea.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects
adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models);
nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of
vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should
be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
