: If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical
advice.
If symptoms persist, call a medical doctor.
: Wash off immediately with plenty of water.
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
: Remove contact lenses.
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
Protect unharmed eye.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
: Keep respiratory tract clear.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Do NOT induce vomiting.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
: Do not leave the victim unattended.
: Due to structural analogy and clinical data, this material may
have a mechanism of intoxication similar to ethylene glycol.
On that basis, treatment similar to ethylene glycol intoxication
may be of benefit.
In cases where several ounces have been ingested, consider
the use of ethanol ad hemodialysis in the treatment. Consult
standard literature for the details of treatment. If ethanol is
used, a therapeutically effective blood concentration in the
range of 100-150 mg/dl may be achieved by a rapid loading
dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion. Consult
standard literature for details of treatment.
4-Methyl pyrazole (Antizol®) is an effective blocker of alcohol
dehydrogenase and should be used in the treatment of
ethylene glycol, di- or triethylene glycol, ethylene glycol butyl
ether, or methanol intoxication if available.
Fomepizole protocol (Brent, J. et al., New England Journal of
Medicine, Feb. 8, 2001, 344:6, p. 424-9): loading dose 15
mg/kg IV, follow by bolus dose of 10 mg/kg every 12 hours;
after 48 hours, increase bolus dose to 15 mg/kg every 12
hours.
Continue fomepizole until serum methanol, EG, DEG, or TEG
are undetectable. The signs and symptoms of poisoning
include anion gap metabolic acodisis, CNS depression, renal
tubular injury and possibly late stage cranial nerve
involvement.
Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be
delayed. Persons receiving significantly exposure should be
observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. If
lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal
control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against
toxicity when considering emptying the stomach.
: Extinguish fires with water spray or apply alcohol-type or all-

techniques for large fires. Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical
media for small fires.
Physicochemical hazards arising from the chemical
Specific hazards during : Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
firefighting Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon
application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
Hazardous combustion : During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in
products addition to combustion products of varying composition which
may be toxic and/or irritating.
Combustion products may include and are not limited to:
Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment : Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
for firefighters (SBCA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire
fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots, and gloves). If protective
equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a
protected location or safe distance.
Specific extinguishing : Standard procedure for chemical fires.
methods Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into hot, burning
pools. This may cause frothing and increase fire intensity.
