SWALLOWED
鈥? IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY.
鈥? For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
鈥? Where Medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is
more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise:
鈥? For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
鈥? Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
鈥? If conscious, give water to drink.
鈥? INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS.
Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to
maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means.
鈥? In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient
following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the
patient's condition.
鈥? If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available,
the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the MSDS should be
provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist.
鈥? If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the
patient to a hospital together with a copy of the MSDS.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
鈥? 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.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
鈥? Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Followed acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol monoalkyl
ethers and their acetates:
鈥? Hepatic metabolism produces ethylene glycol as a metabolite.
鈥? Clinical presentation, following severe intoxication, resembles that of
ethylene glycol exposures.
鈥? Monitoring the urinary excretion of the alkoxyacetic acid metabolites may be a
useful indication of exposure.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]
For acute or short term repeated exposures to ethylene glycol:
鈥? Early treatment of ingestion is important. Ensure emesis is satisfactory.
鈥? Test and correct for metabolic acidosis and hypocalcaemia.
鈥? Apply sustained diuresis when possible with hypertonic mannitol.
鈥? Evaluate renal status and begin haemodialysis if indicated. [I.L.O]
鈥? Rapid absorption is an indication that emesis or lavage is effective only in
the first few hours. Cathartics and charcoal are generally not effective.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Ethanol therapy prolongs the half-life of ethylene glycol and reduces the
formation of toxic metabolites.
鈥? 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.
鈥? 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
acids per mole creatinine in morning urine of people occupationally exposed to
ethylene glycol ethers. This arises from the finding that an increase in urinary
stones may be associated with such exposures.
Laitinen J., et al: Occupational & Environmental Medicine 1996; 53, 595-600
For acute or short term repeated exposures to isopropanol:
鈥? Rapid onset respiratory depression and hypotension indicates serious
ingestions that require careful cardiac and respiratory monitoring together with
immediate intravenous access.
鈥? Rapid absorption precludes the usefulness of emesis or lavage 2 hours
post-ingestion. Activated charcoal and cathartics are not clinically useful.
Ipecac is most useful when given 30 mins. post-ingestion.
鈥? There are no antidotes.
鈥? Management is supportive. Treat hypotension with fluids followed by
vasopressors.
鈥? Watch closely, within the first few hours for respiratory depression; follow
arterial blood gases and tidal volumes.
鈥? Ice water lavage and serial haemoglobin levels are indicated for those
patients with evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding.

FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk
of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction
confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the
predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance
equal to the downwind protective action distance.

those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind
direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration
may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated
and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible
health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the
incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may
expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening
concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less,
such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking
less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also
considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of
greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne"
compressed gas cylinder.

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 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.

absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
MAK value: 20 ppm, 98 mg/m鲁
Designated H in List of MAK values: Danger of cutaneous absorption.
Absorption of such substances through the skin can pose an incomparably larger
danger of toxicity than their inhalation. To avoid health risks when handling
such substances, meticulous cleaning of the skin, hair and clothing is
imperative.
MAK Category II Peak Limitation: For substances with systemic effects and with a
half-life in humans of less than two hours.
Allows excursions of 2 times the MAK value, for 30 minutes (on average), four
times per shift.
MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo
when MAK and BAT values are observed.

Odour Threshold Value: 0.10 ppm (detection), 0.35 ppm (recognition)
IDLH Level: 700 ppm
Although rats appear to be more susceptible than other animals anaemia is
not uncommon amongst humans following exposure. The TLV reflects the need
to maintain exposures below levels found to cause blood changes in
experimental animals. It is concluded that this limit will reduce the
significant risk of irritation, haematologic effects and other systemic
effects observed in humans and animals exposed to higher vapour
concentrations. The toxic effects typical of some other glycol ethers
(pancytopenia, testis atrophy and teratogenic effects) are not found with
this substance.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate
that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage
to the health of the individual.
Overexposure to non-ring alcohols causes nervous system symptoms. These include
headache, muscle weakness and inco-ordination, giddiness, confusion, delirium
and coma. Digestive symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Aspiration is much more dangerous than ingestion because lung damage can occur
and the substance is absorbed into the body. Alcohols with ring structures and
secondary and tertiary alcohols cause more severe symptoms, as do heavier
alcohols.

produce eye damage 24 hours or more after instillation. Severe inflammation may
be expected with pain. There may be damage to the cornea. Unless treatment is
prompt and adequate there may be permanent loss of vision. Conjunctivitis can
occur following repeated exposure.
The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary
impairment of vision and/or transient eye inflammation, ulceration
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result
following absorption.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
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
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material
during the course of normal handling, may be harmful.
The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's
response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack
of coordination and vertigo.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Acute effects from inhalation of high vapour concentrations may be chest and
nasal irritation with coughing, sneezing, headache and even nausea.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure. There is some evidence that human exposure to
the material may result in developmental toxicity. This evidence is based on animal
studies where effects have been observed in the absence of marked maternal toxicity, or at
around the same dose levels as other toxic effects but which are not secondary
non-specific consequences of the other toxic effects. Ethylene glycol esters and their
ethers cause wasting of the testicles, reproductive changes, infertility and changes to
kidney function. Shorter chain compounds are more dangerous. They are also associated with
the formation of stones in the urine.
