=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50(RAT):5840 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE-MAY CAUSE SLIGHT TRANSIENT
    (TEMPORARY) IRRITATION. CORNEAL INJURY IS UNLIKELY. VAPORS/MIST MAY
    CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN-PROLONGED/REPEATED EXPOSURE NOT LIKELY TO
    CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SKIN IRRITATION. M ASSIVE CONTACT WITH DAMAGED
    SKIN OR OF MATERIAL SUFFICIENTLY HOT TO BURN SKIN MAY RESULT IN
    ABSORPTION OF POTENTIAL LETHAL AMOUNTS. INGESTION-SINGLE DOSE ORAL
    TOXICITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE MODERATE. EX CESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY
    CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS & KIDNEY FAILURE. SWALLOWING
    LARGE AMOUNTS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, EVEN DEATH. INHALATION-HIGH
    TEMPERATURES MAY GENERATE VAPORS SUFFICIENT T O CAUSE ADVERSE
    EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:BASED ON DATA FROM LONG-TERM ANIMAL
    STUDIES, ETHYLENE GLYCOL IS NOT BELIEVED TO POSE A CARCINOGENIC
    RISK TO MAN.
Effects of Overexposure:REPEATED EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES MAY CAUSE SEVERE
    KIDNEY & ALSO LIVER & GASTROINTESTINAL EFFECTS. SIGN/SYMPTOMS OF
    EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY BE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, NAUSEA
    &/OR VOMITING, ANESTHETI C OR NARCOTIC EFFECTS. OBSERVATIONS IN
    ANIMALS INCLUDE FORMATION OF BLADDER STONES AFTER REPEATED ORAL
    DOSE OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL. REPORTS OF KIDNEY FAILURE & DEATH IN BURN
    PATIENTS SUGGEST THAT ETHYLENE  GLYCOL MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR. THE
    USE OF TOPICAL APPLICATIONS CONTAINING THIS MATERIAL MAY NOT BE
    APPROPIATE IN SEVERELY BURNED PATIENTS OR INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPAIRED
    RENAL FUNCTION.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES-IMMEDIATELY FLUSH  WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER FOR 15
    MINS, LIFTING LOWER & UPPER LIDS. GET MEDICAL AID AS SOON AS
    POSSIBLE. CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NOT BE WORN. SKIN-FLUSH AREA
    IMMEDIATELY WITH LAR GE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR  15 MINS WHILE
    REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS AFTER
    FLUSHING, GET MEDICAL AID PROMPTLY. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
    INHALATION-IMMEDIATELY REMOVE VICTIM  TO FRESH AIR & CALL EMERGENCY
    MEDICAL CARE. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE CPR. IF BREATHING IS HARD,
    GIVE OXYGEN. INGESTION-GIVE 2 GLASSES OF WATER & IMMEDIATELY CALL
    PHYSICIAN. INDUCE VOMITING OF CONSCIOUS  PATIENT BY PRESS FINGER
    DOWN THROAT.
