4.1. Description of first aid measures
General notes: Get medical attention. Have product container, label or material safety data sheet at hand.
Following inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Following skin contact:
Rinse immediately contaminated clothing and skin with plenty of water before removing clothes.
Following eye contact:
Following ingestion: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. Rinse the mouth and spit the fluids out.
If the casualty is conscious have him drink copious amounts of liquids (water).
Apply charcoal (3 tablespoons as a suspension in a glass of water).
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Because initial symptoms are often minor, the severity of poisoning can be underestimated.
Symptoms of acute poisoning:
Eyes: no or only slight irritative effects.
Skin:
Inhalation:
Ingestion: almost no irritative effects, dose-dependent absorptive effects.
Absorption:
following very high doses (150 ml) immediate coma, severe acidosis, kidney failure.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Eyes:
Skin:
Inhalation:
Ingestion:
Transport to clinic in every case.
Recommendations:
Provide the physician information about the substance/product and treatment already administered.
5. Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Water (spray jet - do not use full jet)
Dry extinguishing agents
Carbon dioxide
Fight larger fires with alcohol-resistant foam or water spray.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Classes of fires:
B liquid or melting substances
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing.
If the intake has been very recent: Make the casualty vomit.
During vomiting hold the head of the casualty low with the body in a prone position in order to
prevent aspiration.
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is barely irritating and its systemic toxicity is rather low. However, swallowing of larger doses
has frequently led to poisoning with kidney failure.
no significant irritation; systemic effects must be expected when extensive contact with damaged skin
has taken place.
from high concentrations of vapor/aerosol aggravating effects/unspecific irritative effects in the upper
respiratory tract; in extreme cases difficulties in breathing and absorptive effects.
following relatively low doses initially headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, after a delay
(24 - 72 h) disturbances in kidney function/kidney failure (polyuria, oliguria -> aniuria) with cardiac
insufficiency, possibly congested liver; indicators: acidosis (with anion gap), leukocytosis,
hyperkalemia, hyperglycemia, raised levels of creatinine and urea in the blood;
In newer animal experiments, administration of an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor (Fomepizole)
repressed the formation of the DEG metabolites 2-hydroxyethoxy acetic acid and diglycol acid, to
which the nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic effects of the substance are attributed.
The most important therapeutic measures are correction of metabolic acidosis and maintaining kidney
function; in severe cases hemodialysis as soon as possible! Treatment for cardiac insufficiency and liver
dysfunction as necessary.
Of highest priority in the clinic are monitoring cardio-vascular, lung and CNS function as well as checking
acid-base balance and kidney and liver parameters.
Shortly following intake of very high doses, measures for cardiopulmonary and cerebral reanimation may
become necessary.
When large doses are swallowed (> 0.1 mg/kg bw), primary elimination of the noxa with gastric lavage
(always in intubation) is recommended when this can be done within the first hour after intake.
Following inhalation of concentrated aerosol/hot vapor, supply plenty of fresh air and monitor lung
function and cardiovascular parameters. Provide symptomatic therapy as needed. Observation in
hospital is indicated even if there is a lack of symptoms.
Following contact with intact skin, cleanse carefully. No further therapeutic measures should be required.
If larger areas were contaminated however - especially damaged skin - transport to hospital to examine
for possible poisoning.
If splashes reach the eyes, first aid measures (thorough rinsing) should be followed by a consultation
with an ophthalmologist.
