Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

4.2Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat. (USCG, 1999)

4.3Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

10.1Reactivity

No rapid reaction with air No rapid reaction with water

10.2Chemical stability

Very low volatility

10.3Possibility of hazardous reactions

Combustible when exposed to heat ...DIETHYLENE GLYCOL ETHYL ETHER ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

10.4Conditions to avoid

no data available

10.5Incompatible materials

Can react with oxidizing materials.

10.6Hazardous decomposition products

When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Pimephales promelas - 110 mg/L - 96 h.
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - > 100 mg/L - 48 h.
• Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - > 100 mg/L - 72 h.
• Toxicity to microorganisms: NOEC - mixture of activated sludge from STP with freshwater from rivers and lakes, marine water and marine sediment - >= 100 mg/L - 28 d.

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 98 to 103% of its theoretical BOD after 4 weeks using an activated sludge seed at an concentration of 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). In a biodegradation study of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate using a settled sewage seed and an initial chemical concentration of 2.5 ppm, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate reached 23.1, 44.0, 82.4, 90.1, 94.6, and 100% of its theoretical BOD after 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 days, respectively(2). A theoretical BOD of 61% for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate was reached over a period of 10 days in a biodegradation study employing dispersed seed aeration(3).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.32(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4Mobility in soil

The Koc of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is estimated as 10(SRC), using an assigned value for water solubility of 1X10+6 mg/L (miscible)(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

12.5Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1Disposal 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.
