No toxicological studies regarding effects following exposure to 1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl dioleate have been found.

Only one reference to 1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl dioleate has been found in which is was stated that vapour of heated 1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl dioleate can cause irritation in humans when inhaled. This study is of limited value because of the lack of information on exposure levels and duration. In addition, the irritation might be caused by degradation products of 1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl dioleate formed by the heating of the substance.

No useful toxicological data regarding 1-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl dioleate are therefore available for evaluation.
