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.
In a study of Wistar rats, adverse developmental results were reported at a dose of 100 mg / kg of body weight for 2-Ethyl
Hexanoic Acid, Sodium Salt.
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 19 days).
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.
