IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW ************************************************************************ * Colored
liquid. Glycol odor. May be fatal if swallowed. ************************************************************************ POTENTIAL
HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological
data.) SKIN: Brief
contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Prolonged
contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause
more severe response if skin is abraded(scratched or cut). Prolonged skin
contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Repeated
skin exposure to large quantities may result in absorption of harmful
amounts. Massive contact with damaged skin or of material sufficiently hot
to burn skin may result in absorption of potentially lethal
amounts. INGESTION:
Oral toxicity is expected to be moderate in humans due to ethylene glycol
even though tests with animals show a lower degree of toxicity. Excessive
exposure may cause central nervous system effects, cardiopulmonary effects
(metabolicacidosis), and kidney failure.
Swallowing may result in severe effects, even death. The lethal dose in
adult humans for ethylene glycol is approximately 3 ounces (100 ml)(1/3
cup). In humans,
expected to be moderately toxic if swallowed even though oral toxicity was
low when tested in animals. May cause
nausea or vomiting. May cause
abdominal discomfort or diarrhea. INHALATION: At
room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility. With
good ventilation, single exposure is not expected to cause adverse
effects. If material is heated or areas are poorly ventilated, vapor/mist
may accumulate and cause respiratory irritation and symptoms such as
headache and nausea. SYSTEMIC
(OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated excessive exposure may
cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. In humans,
effects have been reported on the following organs: central
nervous system. Observations in humans include: nystagmus (involuntary
eye movement). In animals, effects have been reported on the following
organs: kidney, liver. CANCER
INFORMATION: Ethylene glycol did not cause cancer in long term animal
studies. TERATOLOGY
(BIRTH DEFECTS): Based on animal studies, ingestion of very large amounts
of ethylene glycol appears to be the major and possibly only route of
exposure to produce birth defects. Exposures by inhalation or skin
contact, the primary routes of occupational exposure, had minimal effect
on the fetus, in animal studies. REPRODUCTIVE
EFFECTS: Ingestion of large amounts of ethylene glycol has been shown to
interfere with reproduction in animals. 4. FIRST
AID EYES: Flush
eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact
lenses after initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several
additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an
ophthalmologist. SKIN:
Immediately flush skin with water while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms
occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated
articles including leather items such as shoes. INGESTION: Do
not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
If person is fully conscious, give 1 cup or 8 oz.(240 ml) of water. If
medical advice is delayed and if an adult has swallowed several ounces of
chemical, then give 3-4 oz. (1/3-1/2 cup)(90-120 ml) of hard liquor such
as 80 proof whiskey. For children, give proportionally less liquor at a
dose of 0.3 ounces, (1 1/2 tsp)(8 ml) liquor for each 10 pounds of body
weight, or 2 ml per kg body weight (e.g. 1.2 ounces(2 1/3 Tbsp) for a 40
lb child or 36 ml for an 18 kg child). INHALATION:
Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a
physician. NOTE TO
PHYSICIAN: If several ounces of ethylene glycol have been ingested, early
administration of ethanol may counter the toxic effects (metabolic
acidosis, renal damage). Consider hemodialysis
or peritoneal dialysis and thiamine 100mg +pyridoxine 50mg IV every 6
hours. If ethanol is used, atherapeutically
effective blood concentration in the range of100-150mg/dl may be achieved
by a rapid loading dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion.
Consult standard literature for details of
treatment. 4-methyl pyrazole (Antizol)(R) is an effective blocker of alcohol dehyrogenase and should be used inthe treatment of ethylene glycol, di-or triethylene glycol,
ethylene glycol butyl ether, or methanol intoxication if available. Fomepizole protocol (Brent, J et al. New Eng J Med Feb
8, 2001 344:6, p424-9): loading dose 15 mg/kg IV, follow by bolus dose of
10 mg/kg every 12 hours; after 48 hours, increase bolus dose to 15 mg/kg
every 12 hours. Continue fomepizole until serum
methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or
triethylene glycol are
undetectable. The signs and symptoms of poisoning include anion gap
metabolic acidosis, central nervous depression, renal tubular injury, and
possible late stage cranial nerve involvement. Respiratory symptoms,
including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving significant
exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress.
In severe poisoning, respiratory support with mechanical ventilation and
positive end expiratory pressure may be required. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from
lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying
the stomach. 5.
