There is no evidence that people were exposed to ethylene glycol in drinking water at levels of health concern in the Griffiss area. Therefore, no adverse health effects are expected.
Ethylene glycol is present in anti-freeze, coolants, hydraulic fluid, and solvents.
The Air Force used ethylene glycol to deice base aircraft until 1988 when they began using propylene glycol which is less toxic. Since the nearest residence is about one-half mile east of where deicing occurs, it is highly unlikely that glycols would reach residential populations through the air and certainly not at levels of health concern. This study is in Appendix C . Cancer of the uterus has been associated with women who are obese, women who have never given birth, early onset of menstruation, and late onset of menopause. Those associations appear to reflect levels and effects of estrogen.
