Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Vapor inhalation is generally not a problem unless heated or misted. Exposure to vapors over an extended
time period has caused throat irritation and headache. May cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and
drowsiness. Pulmonary edema and central nervous system depression may also develop. When heated or
misted, has produced rapid, involuntary eye movement and coma.
Ingestion:
Initial symptoms in massive dosage parallel alcohol intoxication, progressing to CNS depression, vomiting,
headache, rapid respiratory and heart rate, lowered blood pressure, stupor, collapse, and unconsciousness
with convulsions. Death from respiratory arrest or cardiovascular collapse may follow. Lethal dose in
humans: 100 ml (3-4 ounces).
Skin Contact:
Minor skin irritation and penetration may occur.
Eye Contact:
Splashes may cause irritation, pain, eye damage.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated small exposures by any route can cause severe kidney problems. Brain damage may also occur.
Skin allergy can develop. May damage the developing fetus.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders, eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney, or respiratory function may
be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a
physician.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Note to Physician:
Give sodium bicarbonate intravenously to treat acidosis. Urinalysis may show low specific gravity,
proteinuria, pyuria, cylindruria, hematuria, calcium oxide, and hippuric acid crystals. Ethanol can be used in
antidotal treatment but monitor blood glucose when administering ethanol because it can cause
hypoglycemia. Consider infusion of a diuretic such as mannitol to help prevent or control brain edema and
hemodialysis to remove ethylene glycol from circulation.
