Delayed progress of poisoning was
observed following ingestion of medications
containing DEG which took place either
once or several times for brief intervals.
Ingestion of 150 - 350 ml undiluted DEG
was acutely life-threatening or lethal as it
triggered immediate severe CNS
disturbances (deep coma) and metabolic
disturbances (metabolic acidosis).
The consequences of oral intake of DEG are
known from numerous poisoning cases. In
most cases, contaminated medications
were taken. These led, in part, to mass
poisonings. Individual case reports describe
the consequences of swallowing high doses
of pure DEG.
Concerning exposure by inhalation, data
from animal experiments show low toxicity.
In animal experiments, the dermal toxicity
was proven to be low.
There are no indications of allergic reaction
in humans.
DEG has a very low potential to irritate
locally.
LD50 oral - human – 1.000 mg/kg
LD50 oral - rat – 12.565 mg/kg
However, heavy contamination with DEG
can lead to irritation due to bladder stones
and trigger the development of bladder
tumors.
Valid animal experiments produced no
indications that DEG has any carcinogenic
effects.
In-vitro and in-vivo studies with DEG had
negative or ambiguous results.
In several experiments on rabbits’ eyes, the
undiluted substance caused no or only
slight irritative effects. It was therefore not
necessary to categorize it as irritating to
the eyes.
Poisoning was often fatal although
disturbances in consciousness appeared
prior to death. Death often occurred 4 - 12
days afterward.
The product was not tested on animals.
