TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Toxicology No harmful effects are expected if the precautions on the label and this MSDS Information are followed. vapours (from heating), mists or aerosols may produce respiratory irritation. Headache, low backache, drowsiness and irregular eye movements have been reported when high concentrations ethylene glycol have been inhaled. Ingestion Possible symptoms exposure include: irritation the respiratory tract with symptoms including coughing, discomfort, difficulty breathing or shortness breath. Initial symptoms following a large dose (>100ml) are those alcohol intoxication (without the odour ethanol) progressing to vomiting, cyanosis, headache, muscle tenderness, stupor, convulsions and unconsiousness. Respiratory system involvement may occur 12-24 hours after ingestion. Symptoms may include hyperventilation and rapid shallow breathing. From 24-72 hours, the patient may experience a decrease in urine output, flank pain progressing to renal failure which may be permanent. Skin Prolonged contact with the concentrate can cause defatting the skin and may result in dermatitis. Eye May irritate the eyes.
