Toxicity

...ETHYLENE GLYCOL-N-MONOHEXYL ETHER SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH GREAT CARE TO PREVENT EYE CONTACT & TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT BECAUSE OF ITS TOXICITY BY ABSORPTION. UNTIL MORE IS KNOWN IT WOULD SEEM WISE ALSO TO AVOID REPEATED EXPOSURE TO ITS VAPORS.

Drug Information

3. 3= MODERATELY TOXIC: PROBABLE ORAL LETHAL DOSE (HUMAN) 0.5-5 G/KG, BETWEEN 1 OZ AND 1 PINT (OR 1 LB) FOR 70 KG PERSON (150 LB). /CELLOSOLVES/

THESE ETHERS PENETRATE INTACT SKIN. /CELLOSOLVES/

Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.


Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.


First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

CENTRAL NERVOUS DEPRESSION AS WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL, BUT THE ETHER DERIVATIVES PRODUCE MORE MARKED KIDNEY INJURY & HEMATURIA (APPARENTLY WITHOUT OXALIC ACID FORMATION OR CRYSTALLURIA). /CELLOSOLVES/|ACUTE TOXICITIES ARE SEVERAL TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL IN ANIMALS (CLINICAL DATA ARE INADEQUATE FOR VALID COMPARISONS). ETHER LINKAGE IS SUPPOSEDLY STABLE IN VIVO. /CELLOSOLVES/

EGHE

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

Cough. Sore throat. Burning sensation. Shortness of breath.


MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain.


Redness. Pain.
