Combustion gases produced are carbon monoxide and dioxide.
Stable solution, however ethylene glycol is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and polymerization catalysts. Health hazard rating reflects unusual exposures, via ingestion. This reagent is relatively safe when handled using good chemical hygiene by laboratory professionals, and when enclosed in the analyzer hydraulic system. Effects of ingestion occur within minutes to hours post ingestion and include CNS depression and metabolic abnormalities resulting in ethanol-like inebriation, ataxia, slurred speech, blindness, seizures, coma, cerebral edema, acidosis with tachypenia. Proteinuria and uremia are common effects of toxicity to the liver, and kidney.
