/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Ethylene glycol, glycols, and related compounds/

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Excerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)

  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
  • Toxicity to algae: no data available
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: A 5-day BOD test showed a 41% of theoretical BOD for ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate using a sewage inoculum and the standard dilution method(1). BOD values which were 36, 79, 82, and 80% of the theoretical value were measured for 5, 10, 15, and 20 days incubation, respectively, using a non-acclimated, settled wastewater seed(2). BOD values of 10, 44, 59, and 69% of the theoretical BOD were measured for 5, 10, 15, and 20 days incubation, respectively, using a non-acclimated seawater seed with added raw wastewater(2). Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is considered to be "well-biodegradable" (theoretical BOD > 30% after 14 days of inoculation) using the Japanese MITI protocol(3). A 5-day BOD 18.1% of the theoretical value was measured using a sewage inoculum and the standard dilution method(4); a 5-day BOD 1.1% of the theoretical value was measured using a seawater inoculum and a seawater dilution method(4). Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate was classified as easily degraded using the TOC die-away method in two river waters, with a 28 day incubation(5).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF value of 3.0 was calculated for ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 0.24(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is estimated as 32(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.24(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is expected to have a very high mobility in soil(SRC).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
