concentration is only minimally effective in producing developmental toxicity; the major route for producing developmental
toxicity is perorally.
Two chronic feeding studies, using rats and mice, have not produced any evidence that ethylene glycol causes dose-related
increases in tumor incidence or a different pattern of tumors compared with untreated controls. The absence of carcinogenic
potential for ethylene glycol has been supported by numerous invitro genotoxicity studies showing that it does not produce
mutagenic or clastogenic effects.
This product contains less than 0.07% tolytriazole which has demonstrates mutagenic activity in a bacterial test system. A
correlation has been established between mutagenic activity and carcinogenic activity for many chemicals. Tolytriazole has not
been identified as a carcinogen or probable carcinogen by NTP, IARC, ACGIH or OSHA.
12. Ecological Information
ECOTOXICITY:
Ethylene Glycol: LC50 Fathead Minnow <10,000 mg/L/96 hr
EC50 Daphnia Magna 100,000 mg/L/48 hr
Bacterial (Pseudomonas putida): 10,000 mg/l
Protozoa (Entosiphon sulcatum and Uronema parduczi; Chatton-Lwoff): >10,000 mg/l
Algae (Microcystis aeruginosa): 2,000 mg/l
Green algae (Scenedesmus quandricauda): >10,000 mg/l
Diethylene Glycol: LC50 western mosquitofish >32,000 mg/L/96 hr
PERSISTENCE AND DEGRADABILITY:
Ethylene Glycol is readily biodegradable (97-100% in 2-12 days). Diethylene glycol is readily biodegradable (>70%
in 19days).
BIOACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL:
Ethylene glycol: A BCF of 10, reported for ethylene glycol in fish, Golden ide (Leuciscus idus melanotus), after 3
days of exposure suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Diethylene glycol: An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
MOBILITY IN SOIL: Ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol are highly mobile in soil.
OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS: None known
13. Disposal Considerations
Dispose of product in accordance with all local, state/provincial and federal regulations.
