Additional Information - Cleveland SSE-25-L Installation, Operation And Repair Manual

PRODUCT: ETEYLENE GLYCOL
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear suitable protective
equipment. Small spills - flush with large quantities of water. Large spills - collect for disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Incinerate in a furnace where permitted by Federal, Provincial, and
local laws and regulations.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NIOSH or MSHA approved air supplied mask in high concentrations.
VENTILATION: General mechanical room ventilation is expected to be adequate if handled in covered
equipment. Local exhaust ventilation is needed at points where vapour is expected to be vented to
the air.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber or plastic.
EYE PROTECTION: Monogoggles or face shield.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eye bath and safety shower.
HANDLING & STORAGE: May be fatal if swallowed. Do not breathe mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated
breathing of vapour. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Where heavy
concentrations of fine mist are present, a respirator should be used to prevent inhaling mist
particles.
OTHER INFORMATION: Pulmonary oedema with hypoxemia has been described in a number of patients
following poisoning with ethylene glycol. The mechanism of production has not been elucidated,
but it appears to be noncardiogenic in origin in several cases. Respiratory support with mechanical
ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure may be required.
