Eye: Not expected to cause prolonged or
significant eye irritation.
Skin: Contact with the skin is not
expected to cause prolonged or significant irritation. Not expected to be
harmful to internal organs if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Toxic; may be harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation: The vapor or
fumes from this material may cause respiratory irritation. Symptoms of
respiratory irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing. Breathing
this material at concentrations above the recommended exposure limits may cause
central nervous system effects. Central nervous system effects may include
headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of coordination, blurred
vision, drowsiness, confusion, or disorientation. At extreme exposures, central
nervous system effects may include respiratory depression, tremors or
convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma or death.
Reproduction and Birth Defects:
Contains material that may cause birth defects based on animal data.
Target Organs: Contains material that causes damage to the
following organ(s) if swallowed: Kidney
See Section 11 for additional
information. Risk depends on duration and level of exposure.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION |
IMMEDIATE HEALTH
EFFECTS This product contains ethylene glycol (EG). The toxicity of EG via inhalation
or skin contact is expected to be slight at room temperature. The estimated oral
lethal dose is about 100 cc (3.3 oz.) for an adult human. Ethylene glycol is
oxidized to oxalic acid which results in the deposition of calcium oxalate
crystals mainly in the brain and kidneys. Early signs and symptoms of EG
poisoning may resemble those of alcohol intoxication. Later, the victim may
experience nausea, vomiting, weakness, abdominal and muscle pain, difficulty in
breathing and decreased urine output. When EG was heated above the boiling point
of water, vapors formed which reportedly caused unconsciousness, increased
lymphocyte count, and a rapid, jerky movement of the eyes in persons chronically
exposed. When EG was administered orally to pregnant rats and mice, there was an
increase in fetal deaths and birth defects. Some of these effects occurred at
doses that had no toxic effects on the mothers. We are not aware of any reports
that EG causes reproductive toxicity in human beings.
Eye Irritation: The eye irritation hazard is based on evaluation
of data for similar materials or product components.
Skin Irritation:
The skin irritation hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar
materials or product components.
Skin Sensitization: No product
toxicology data available.
Acute Dermal Toxicity: The acute dermal
toxicity hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar materials or product
components.
Acute Oral Toxicity: The acute oral toxicity hazard is
based on evaluation of data for similar materials or product
components.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity: The acute inhalation toxicity
hazard is based on evaluation of data for similar materials or product
components.
ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION:
This
product contains diethylene glycol (DEG). The estimated oral lethal dose is
about 50 cc (1.6 oz) for an adult human. DEG has caused the following effects in
laboratory animals: liver abnormalities, kidney damage and blood abnormalities.
It has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: liver
abnormalities, kidney damage, lung damage and central nervous system damage.
