68.2 Drinking water

Denmark: -

68.3 Soil

Denmark: -

68.4 Occupational Exposure Limits

Denmark: 10 ppm (26 mg/m³), notation H (At 2002).

Atomised 10 mg/m³ (At 2002).

ACGIH: 39 ppm (100 mg/m³) (ACGIH 2001)

68.5 Classification

Ethylene glycol is classified for acute toxic effects (Xn;R22 – harmful if swallowed) (MM 2002).

68.6 IARC

68.7 US-EPA

Oral reference dose (RfD): 2 mg/kg b.w. per day. The oral RfD is based on the NOAEL of 200 mg/kg b.w. per day for renal toxicity in a 2 year feeding study in rats (DePass et al. 1986 – quoted in IRIS 2002) and the application of a uncertainty factor of 100 (10 for interspecies extrapolation and 10 for differences in individual human sensitivity) (IRIS 2002).
