**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed.Hygroscopic.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause mild eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause mild skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause central nervous system
depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause
collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory
failure. Human fatalities have been reported from acute poisoning.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Inhalation of heated or misted form may cause pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals. A long
term rat feeding study showed that 1% diethylene glycol in the diet
over a 2-year period resulted in slight growth depression, a few
calcium oxalate bladder stones, minimal kidney damage, and
occasional liver damage. At 4% dietary level, there was increased
mortality, a marked depression of growth rate, bladder stones, severe
kidney damage, and moderate liver damage. In addition, bladder tumors
appeared rather frequently.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treatment options include ipecac/lavage, activated charcoal,
cathartics--admisitered within two hours of ingestion. Hemodialysis
should be considered in severe intoxication.

**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Extinguishing Media:
Water or foam may cause frothing. Alcohol foam, water fog, carbon
dioxide, dry chemical.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
breathing vapors from heated material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,
and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Wash clothing before
reuse. Avoid breathing spray or mist.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Keep containers tightly closed. Store protected from
moisture.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne
levels.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR ??1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use.
