SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
First-aid measures general
:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. IF exposed or concerned: Get
medical advice/attention.
First-aid measures after inhalation

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms/effects
:
Causes damage to organs (kidneys) Oral. Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.

in humans is estimated to be 100 mL (3 oz).
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
A more effective intravenous antidote for physician uses is 4-methylpyrazaole, a potent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenases, which effectively blocks the
formation of toxic metabolites of ethylene glycol. It has been used to decrease the metabolic consequences of ethylene glycol poisoning before
metabolic acidosis coma, seizures, and renal failure have occured.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
:
Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical. Foam. Sand. Water fog.
