Danger
DANGER: Potential health effects of ethylene oxide
Users must follow the requirements of the United States Occupational
Exposure Standard for Ethylene Oxide OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1047).
100% ethylene oxide (EO) CAS number 75-21-8 is a colorless gas at
ambient conditions.
Do not rely on sense of smell for the detection
of ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide has a high odor threshold and can
only be detected by sense of smell when it exceeds 500 – 700 parts per
million (PPM). Ethylene oxide has a characteristic ether-like odor,
a sweet and irritating solvent smell.
