4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation If inhaled remove to fresh air. If irritation or difficulty in breathing occurs, get
medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash skin with soap and water. Remove clothing and shoes if contaminated.
Launder clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact Flush eyes with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present
and easy to do so. If eye irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion If conscious, rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Most Important May cause eye irritation. Inhalation of vapors or mists may cause nose, throat
Symptoms and upper respiratory tract irritation. Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal
irritation, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, irritability, back pain, and central
nervous system effects.
Indication of Get immediate medical attention if large amounts are swallowed.
Immediate Medical
Attention Needed
Notes to Physician Treat appropriately. The currently recommended medical management of
ethylene glycol poisoning includes elimination of ethylene glycol and
metabolites, correction of metabolic acidosis and prevention of kidney injury.
It is essential to have immediate and follow up urinalysis and clinical
chemistry. There should be particular emphasis on acid-base balance and
renal function tests. A continuous infusion of 5% sodium bicarbonate with
frequent monitoring of electrolytes and fluid balance is used to achieve
correction of metabolic acidosis and forced diuresis. As a competitive
substrate for alcohol dehydrogenase, ethanol is antidotal. Given in the early
stages of intoxication, it blocks the formulation of nephrotoxic metabolites. A
therapeutically effective blood concentration of ethanol is in the range 100-
150 mg/dl, and should be achieved by a rapid loading dose and maintained by
intravenous infusion. For severe and/or deteriorating cases, hemodialysis
may be required. Dialysis should be considered for patients who are
symptomatic, have severe metabolic acidosis, a blood ethylene glycol
concentration greater than 25 md/dl, or compromise of renal functions.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Use water fog, alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to
Media extinguish flames. A solid stream of water or foam can cause frothing.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions Wear appropriate protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. See
also: “Personal Protection "section 8.
Environmental Hazards Avoid release into the environment. Report spill as required by local and
federal regulations.
Methods/Materials for Dike spill and collect with an inert absorbent. Place into closable containers
Cleaning up for disposal. Collected material is handled in accordance with section 13
"Disposal Considerations".
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Harmful if swallowed. Do not drink antifreeze. Avoid contact with eyes and
Handling: prolonged or repeated contact with skin and clothing. Avoid breathing
vapors and mists. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated
clothing and launder before re-use.
Conditions for Safe Store in a cool area away from oxidizing agents. Protect containers from
Storage physical damage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits Ethylene Glycol 100 mg/m3 Ceiling ACGIH TLV
Diethylene Glycol 10 mg/m3 TWA AIHA WEEL
Appropriate Good general room ventilation (equivalent to outdoors) should be adequate
Engineering Controls under normal conditions. If the recommended exposure limit is exceeded
increased mechanical ventilation such as local exhaust may be required.
Personal Protection
Respiratory None needed under normal use conditions with adequate ventilation. If
Protection: exposure limits are exceeded, use a NIOSH approved respirator with organic
vapor cartridges and particulate pre-filter. Selection of respiratory
protection depends on the contaminant type, form and concentration.
Select in accordance with OSHA 1910.134 and good Industrial Hygiene
practice.
