LD 50 (acute oral)

LD50 (rat)

>2000 mg/kg

LD 50 (acute dermal)

LD50 (rabbit)

>2000 mg/kg



General

Human experience: Ethanediol: Deadly if swallowed, approx. 5 g/kg body weight. Deadly dose approx. 90-110 g for adults, correspondingly lower for children. Small doses may cause: unconsciousness, kidney damage, damage to the central nervous system.

Inhalation

Eye contact

May cause mild irritation, experienced as temporary slight discomfort and seen as reddening of the eye.

Ingestion

Harmful. Causes: Headache. Tiredness. Confusion. Incoordination, problems with walking. Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. Low blood pressure. Cardiac arrhythmia. Kidney damage. Unconsciousness. Symptoms may be delayed. Serious poisoning may lead to death.



12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Degradability

Elimination information: Test method: OECD 301A/ISO 7827. Analysis method: DOC reduction. Degree of elimination > 70%. Evaluation: Readily biodegradable. Practice in environment: The correct feed in low concentrations to adapted, biological sewage works is not expected to cause disruptions to decomposition activity of the biosludge.

Toxicity

Algae toxicity: EC50 (72 h): > 100 mg/l

Bacterial toxicity: EC10 (- h) > 10 000 mg/l, Pseudomonas putida

Daphnia toxicity (acute): EC50 (48 h) > 100 mg/l
