Mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) is toxic to humans and animals, with the primary danger arising from ingestion.
How exposure to ethylene glycol can affect your health
The presence of mono-ethylene glycol in the environment does not always lead to exposure. In order for it to cause any adverse health effects you must come into contact with it. You may be exposed to ethylene glycol by ingesting it or by skin or eye contact with it. Following exposure to any chemical, the adverse health effects you may encounter depend on several factors, including the amount to which you are exposed (dose), the way you are exposed, the duration of exposure, the form of the chemical and if you were exposed to any other chemicals.
Small spills of mono-ethylene glycol on the skin are unlikely to cause harm provided they are washed off immediately. Mono-ethylene glycol is an irritant and splashing it in the eyes could cause stinging, though this should not lead to permanent damage. Following ingestion of large amounts, symptoms may appear like 'drunkenness', after this serious damage to the heart, lungs and kidneys may arise and can lead to coma, nerve damage and death. Inhalation of ethylene glycol is not considered to be a serious risk to health. It is unlikely that environmental contamination will result in any adverse health effects.
Safety Information:
When working with ethylene glycol, wear protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Handle in a well-ventilated area and minimize inhalation of vapors.
