General description ethylene glycol is a clear, colorless syrupy liquid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since ethylene glycol is a liquid ethylene glycol can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams.
Reactivity profile mixing ethylene glycol in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid, oleum, sulfuric acid, [nfpa 1991].
Health hazard inhalation of vapor is not hazardous. Ingestion causes stupor or coma, sometimes leading to fatal kidney injury.
Fire hazard ethylene glycol is combustible.
