VI.                HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

Routes of Entry                                    Inhalation – Primary

                                                                Skin/Eyes – Primary

                                                                Ingestion – Not likely to occur

 

Health Hazards

            Acute:                                        Prolonged exposure can be destructive to tissue especially eye tissue. Inhalation of vapors or mist may cause mucous membrane irritation. Ingestion can result in central nervous system depression, kidney injury and destruction of tissue, all of which could be fatal.

 

            Chronic:                                     Over exposure to vapors are associated with injuries to kidneys, liver, lungs, blood and central nervous system. Skin absorption can induce central nervous system depression and kidney and liver injury. Repeated ingestion can cause brain damage and destruction of tissue. Ethylene Glycol had caused birth defects or deaths in laboratory studies using pregnant mice and rats.

 

CARCINOGENICITY

 

Listed in NTP?  No                              IARC Monographs?   No                                   OSHA Regulated?   No

 

Signs & Symptoms of Exposure

             Inhalation:                                Drunkenness, nausea, vomiting, visual impairment, rapid breathing, increased heart rate and decreased urine volume.

             Eyes:                                         Irritation/Tissue destruction develops immediately upon contact.

 

Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure are breathing disorders, dermatitis and eye, kidney, liver disorders.

First Aid Procedures:

            Eye Contact:                             Flush with water for 15 minutes

           

            Skin Contact:                            wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms develop and persist

          

            Ingestion:                                  Do not induce vomiting. Drink large amounts of water to dilute material in stomach. Follow with milk. Never give fluids if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

                                                                Material can be fatal.

 

            Inhalation:                                 Remove victim to fresh air and if needed immediately begin artificial respiration. Give oxygen if breathing is labored. Get emergency Medical help. Contact Physician immediately.

VII.              SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE.

 

For Spill:                                                In case of spillage absorb with inert material and dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations.

 

For Waste Disposal:                            EPA approved hazardous waste disposal site.

 

VIII.      PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE:

 

Respiratory Protection:                       NIOSH approved organic vapor mask required in closed areas

 

Ventilation:                                            Required in closed areas

 

Protective Gloves:                                NIOSH Chemical resistant gloves suitable for Ethylene Glycol
