PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET

contact.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.

RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following
ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g liver, kidney) damage is evident.
Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing
mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal
tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,
ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.
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.
INHALED
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce
cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems.
There exists limited evidence that shows that skin contact with the material is capable
either of inducing a sensitisation reaction in a significant number of individuals,
and/or of producing positive response in experimental animals.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Propylene glycol is though, by some, to be a sensitising principal following the regular
use of topical creams by eczema patients. A study of 866 persons using a formulation
containing propylene glycol in a patch test indicated that propylene glycol caused
primary irritation in 16% of exposed individuals probably caused by dehydration.
Undiluted propylene glycol was tested on 1556 persons in a 24 hour patch test. 12.5%
showed reactions which were largely toxic (70%) or allergic in nature (30%). Reaction
responses reached their maximum on the second day or later. Reactions were seasonal in
nature ranging from 17.8% in winter to 9.2% in other seasons. In a patch-test using 25
standard allergens conducted on 500 individuals, propylene glycol ranked fourth in
sensitising response. 84 subjects were patch tested using 100% propylene glycol. as well
as 2% and 5% in water. With undiluted material, 15% demonstrated a reaction, with 40% of
the reactions being allergic in nature and 60% being irritant. In dilute solutions 5 of
248 subjects exhibited a reaction.
Undiluted propylene glycol tested on the skin of man produced no irritation under open
conditions but when applied under occlusive conditions, for 2 weeks, it produced severe
erythema, oedema and vesicles, probably due to sweat retention and weak primary
irritation.
Predictive contact skin sensitisation tests indicate that propylene glycol is an
intermediate grade sensitiser with an index of 1% of tested subjects.
Groups of cats fed 5 gm/kg/day of propylene glycol for 14 weeks showed a significant dose
-related increase in red blood cell Heinz body formation without any marked signs of
haemolytic anaemia. The no-effect-level for cats without formation of Heinz bodies is 100
-500 ml/kg. There is no evidence of anaemia or degenerative change. Groups of rats dosed
orally with 0.5 or 10 mg/kg/day for 12 weeks had lowered food intake but no adverse
effects on body weights. Erythrocytes were more fragile. Heinz bodies were not apparent.

The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis. Histologically there
may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of
the epidermis.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or
territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain
wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
路 Reduction,
路 Reuse
路 Recycling
路 Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make
it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible to
reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf life
considerations should also be applied in making decisions of this type. Note that
properties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always be
appropriate.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these
should be considered first. Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
路 Recycle wherever possible.
路 Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste
management authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility can be
identified.
路 Dispose of by: Burial in a licenced land-fill or incineration in a licenced apparatus
(after admixture with suitable combustible material).
路 Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are
cleaned and destroyed.
