4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Move victim to fresh air.  Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped.  Give cardiopulmonary 
resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse.  Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation:
At normal temperatures: Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas 
thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, 
repeat flushing and obtain medical attention.
At elevated temperatures: For thermal skin burns, remove clothing, any jewelry, and gross debris from 
the burned area.  Immediately flush the affected area with large amounts of water.  Do not attempt to 
peel.  Leave the blisters intact.  Cover the wounded area with gauze dressing moistened with cool water; 
keep the dressing moist.  Seek medical attention immediately. See "Note to Physicians" below.
Skin Contact:
At normal temperatures: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes.  Hold 
eyelids open during flushing.  If irritation persists, repeat flushing.  Obtain medical attention 
IMMEDIATELY.
At elevated temperatures: For thermal eye burns, remove any jewelry, and gross debris from the burned 
area.  Immediately flush the affected area with large amounts of water.  Do not attempt to peel.  Leave 
the blisters intact.  Cover the wounded area with gauze dressing moistened with cool water; keep the 
dressing moist.  Seek medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact:
At normal temperatures: Excessive contact with mist or spray may cause irritation of mucous 
membranes, coughing and difficulty in breathing.
At elevated temperatures: Vapours from warmed or heated material may be a mild respiratory irritant. 
See "Other Health Effects" Section.
Inhalation:
At normal temperatures: Prolonged, confined (especially under the finger nails, under rings or watch 
bands) or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. May cause defatting, drying and cracking of the 
skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis.
At elevated temperatures: Burns (thermal) can occur if not promptly removed.
Skin Contact:
May be readily absorbed through broken or damaged skin.
Skin Absorption:
At normal temperatures: Splashes to the eye may cause irritation, redness and pain.
At elevated temperatures: Burns (thermal) can occur if not promptly removed.
Eye Contact:
This product causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth and throat and abdominal pain. Ingestion 
of very high levels may cause cardiac failure, pulmonary oedema and kidney damage.
Ingestion:
Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or 
onset of pain.  Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential.
May cause blurred vision, hearing loss, liver damage, kidney damage, metabolic acidosis, pulmonary 
oedema, central nervous system (CNS) depression, systemic poisoning and death.
Ethylene Glycol poisoning occurs in three stages: central nervous system (CNS) depression, 
cardiopulmonary failure and kidney failure.  The severity of those stages, and advancement from one 
stage to another depends upon the dose ingested.  CNS depression is characterized by headache, 
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and incoordination.  Severe overexposures may lead to coma 
and possible death due to respiratory failure.  Survival of CNS depression may be followed by 
cardiopulmonary failure, which is initiated by the onset of coma and is characterized by quick, shallow 
breathing, excessively fast heart beat, mild hypertension and cyanosis.  Survival of cardiopulmonary 
failure may be followed by kidney damage, which may range from a mild increase in blood urea nitrogen 
to complete kidney failure and possible death.  In severe cases of overexposure, pulmonary oedema, 
bronchopneumonia, cardiac enlargement and possible death may occur.  Pulmonary oedema is the 
exposure to high concentrations of a substance causing the build-up of fluid in the lungs that might be 
fatal.  Symptoms of pulmonary oedema, such as shortness of breath, may not appear until several hours 
after exposure and are aggravated by physical exertion.  There may be cranial nerve involvement in the 
late stages of toxicity from swallowed Ethylene Glycol.  In particular, effects have been reported from the 
seventh, eighth and ninth cranial nerves, presenting with bilateral facial paralysis, diminished hearing 
and difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).  (3)
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate: All phosphate salts, except calcium salts, have a hypothetical risk of 
hypocalcemia. Potassium salts have a potential risk of hyperkalemia which can cause cardiac 
arrhythmia. Symptoms of potassium poisoning may occur.  These include slow heartbeat, accelerated 
breathing, muscle weakness and, in severe cases, paralysis. Peripheral Neuropathy is a progressive 
disorder of the nervous system characterized by sensory and motor abnormalities, muscle spasms, 
weakness and pain in the arms and legs, numbness and tingling of the fingers and toes and paralysis.

At normal temperatures: Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is 
alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material.  
IMMEDIATELY contact local Poison Control Centre.  Vomiting should only be induced under the 
direction of a physician or a poison control centre.  If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean 
forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water.  
IMMEDIATELY transport victim to an emergency facility.
Ingestion:
This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated.  If ingestion has 
occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to 
prevent aspiration.  Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis.  Give artificial 
resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed.
Treatment for thermal, surface burns:
1. Immerse the burned part immediately in ice water to relieve pain and to prevent swelling and 
blistering.  Place cold packs, ice or wet cloths on the burned area if immersion is not possible.
2. Remove anything that is constrictive, such as rings, bracelets or footwear, before swelling begins.
3. Cover the burn with a clean, preferably sterile, lint-free dressing.
4. For severe burns, immediately seek medical attention and monitor breathing and treat for shock.
Ethylene Glycol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to various metabolites including 
glycoaldehyde, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid which cause an elevated anion-gap metabolic acidosis and 
renal tubular injury.  Urinalysis may show albuminuria, hematuria and oxaluria.  Clinical chemistry may 
reveal anion-gap metabolic acidosis and uremia.  (3)
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.  (3)
Pulmonary oedmea with low arterial oxygen levels (hypoxemia) has been described in a number of 
patients following poisoning with Ethylene Glycol.  The mechanism of production has not been 
elucidated, but it appears to be not carcinogenic in origin in several cases.  Respiratory support with 
mechanical ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure may be required.  (3)
As a competitive substrate for alcohol dehydrogenase, Ethyl Alcohol is antidotal.  Given in the early 
stages of intoxication, it blocks the formation of nephrotoxic metabolites.  A therapeutically effective 
blood concentration of ethanol is in the range of 100-150 mg/dL, and should be achieved by a rapid 
loading dose and maintained by intravenous infusion.  (3)
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 mg/dL, or compromise of renal function.  (3)
4-Methylpyrazole, a potent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, has been effectively used to decrease the 
metabolic consequences of Ethylene Glycol poisoning before metabolic acidosis, coma, seizures and 
renal failure have occurred.  (3)
Additional therapeutic measures may include the administration of cofactors involved in the metabolism 
of Ethylene Glycol.  Thiamine (100 mg) and pyridoxine (50 mg) should be given every six hours.  (3)
All phosphate salts, except calcium salts, have a hypothetical risk of hypocalcemia, so calcium levels 
should be monitored. Potassium salts have a potential risk of hyperkalemia which can cause cardiac 
arrhythmia.  In addition to calcium levels, potassium and phosphate levels should be monitored.  Also 
consider continuous EKG monitoring to detect hyperkalemia. Vasopressor drugs (e.g. epinephrine, 
ephedrine etc.) should not be given on their own as there may be danger of cardiac arrhythmia.  (7)
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include neurological and 
cardiovascular disorders, diseases of the skin, eyes or respiratory tract, preexisting liver and kidney 
disorders.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons, 
property and the environment.  There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from 
region to region.
In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS. 
Wear protective clothing. Recover spilled material on non-combustible absorbents, such as sand or 
vermiculite, and place in covered containers for disposal. Collect product for recovery or disposal.  For 
release to land, or storm water runoff, contain discharge by constructing dykes or applying inert 
absorbent;  for release to water, utilize damming and/or water diversion to minimize the spread of 
contamination.  Ventilate enclosed spaces.  Notify applicable government authority if release is 
reportable or could adversely affect the environment.
Containment and Clean-Up 
Procedures:
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Containers exposed to heat may be 
under internal pressure.  These should be cooled and carefully vented before opening.  A face shield and 
apron should be worn. Vent container frequently, and more often in warm weather, to relieve pressure.
Handling Practices:
See Section 8, "Engineering Controls".

Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing vapours and aerosols. Avoid contact with eyes, 
skin or clothing.  Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.  Wash contaminated clothing 
thoroughly before re-use. Do not use cutting or welding torches on empty drums that contained this 
material/product.
Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapours or mists from process equipment operating at elevated 
temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions 
without the presence of obvious ignition sources.  Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperature 
values cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the 
actual process conditions. Spills on hot fibrous insulation may lead to the lowering of the autoignition 
temperature possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.
The maximum recommended skin temperature on the heat transfer fluid side of a heat exchanger is 160 
Degrees Celsius.  If the fluid is exposed to excessively high temperatures, thermal degradation can 
occur; organic acids and other irritating fumes could result.  Respiratory protection, such as an air-
supplied mask, may be needed until the fumes can be removed.  This product is not suitable for use in 
any system where contamination of drinking water supply is possible.  (3)
Other Precautions:
STORAGE

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment, which will provide protection against overexposure to this product.  
Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will dictate the need for specific protective 
devices at your workplace.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation required. Ventilation should be corrosion proof. Make up air should be supplied 
to balance air that is removed by local or general exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low lying areas such as 
sumps or pits where dense vapours may collect.
For personnel entry into confined spaces (i.e. bulk storage tanks) a proper procedure must be followed.  
It must include consideration of, among other things, ventilation, testing of tank atmosphere, provision 
and maintenance of SCBA, and emergency rescue. Use the "buddy" system.  The second person should 
be in view and trained and equipped to execute a rescue.  (4)
Engineering Controls:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE

Based on animal studies, ingestion of very large amounts of Ethylene Glycol appears to be the major and 
possibly the only route of exposure to produce birth defects.  (3)
Teratogenicity Data:
Repeated skin contact with Ethylene Glycol may, in a very small proportion of cases, cause skin 
sensitization with the development of allergic contact dermatitis.  The incidence is significantly less than 
1% with the undiluted material.  (3) Sensitization is the process whereby a biological change occurs in 
the individual because of previous exposure to a substance and, as a result, the individual reacts more 
strongly when subsequently exposed to the substance.  Once sensitized, an individual can react to 
extremely low airborne levels, even below the TLV, or to skin contact.
Respiratory / Skin Sensitization 
Data:
Alcohols/Glycols: Alcohols may interact synergistically with chlorinated solvents (example - carbon 
tetrachloride, chloroform, bromotrichloromethane), dithiocarbamates (example - disulfiram), 
dimethylnitrosamine and thioacetamide.  (4)
Synergistic Materials:
Ethylene Glycol has been shown to produce dose-related teratogenic effects in rats and mice when given 
by gavage or in drinking water at high concentrations or doses.  The absence of a carcinogenic potential 
for Ethylene Glycol has been supported by numerous in vitro genotoxicity studies showing that it does 
not produce mutagenic or clastogenic effects.  (3)
Ethylene Glycol caused mild skin and eye irritation when tested in rabbits.  (3)
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate: Kidney damage was observed in dogs following administration of 800 
mg/Kg dipotassium phosphate in the diet for 14 or 38 weeks.  No adverse effects were observed after 
rats were fed 5.1 % in the diet for 150 days.  (4)
