4. First Aid Measures
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur and seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash all affected and exposed areas with soap and water. If skin irritation
or redness develops or persists, seek medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Exposed eyes should be immediately flushed with copious amounts of water using a steady stream for a
minimum of 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling or tearing develop, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, get immediate medical advice by calling a Poison Control Center or hospital emergency room. If
advice is not available, take victim and product container to the nearest emergency treatment center or hospital. Do not attempt
to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: It is estimated that the lethal oral dose of diethylene glycol in adults is 1.0-1.2 ml/kg. Diethylene
glycol may cause an elevated anion-gap metabolic acidosis and renal tubular injury. Liver injury may occur, but not as severe
as kidney injury. The signs and symptoms in diethylene glycol poisoning are those of metabolic acidosis, CNS depression and
kidney injury. Urinalysis may show albuminuria, hematuria and oxaluria. The current medical management of diethylene glycol
poisoning includes elimination of diethylene glycol, 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 liver and kidney function tests. For severe and/or deteriorating cases, hemodialyis may be required. Dialysis
should be considered for patients who have severe metabolic acidosis, or compromise of renal function. There is no conclusive
evidence that ethanol treatment will be beneficial. 4-Methyl pyrazole (Fomepizole®) shows some promise as treatment because
of its apparent lack of toxicity. Consult your poison control center.
5. Firefighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray or fog, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Cool fire exposed containers with
water. A direct stream of water or foam may cause frothing.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
and full protective clothing for fires in areas where chemicals are used or stored.
UNUSUAL FIRE HAZARDS: Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot
liquids.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Burning may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
6: Accidental Release Measures
Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment (See Section 8). Collect material with absorbent material and place in
appropriate, labeled container for disposal.
