and a rapid,jerky movement of the eyes in persons chronically exposed. When EG was administered <br /> orally to pregnant rats and mice, there was an increase in fetal deaths and birth defects. Some of these <br /> effects occurred at doses that had no toxic effects on the mothers. We are not aware of any reports that <br /> EG causes reproductive toxicity in human beings. <br /> This product contains diethylene glycol (DEG). The estimated oral lethal dose is about 50 cc (1.6 oz)for <br /> an adult human. DEG has caused the following effects in laboratory animals: liver abnormalities, kidney <br /> damage and blood abnormalities. It has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in humans: <br /> liver abnormalities, kidney damage, lung damage and central nervous system damage. <br /> 2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EXA) caused an increase in liver size and enzyme levels when repeatedly <br /> administered to rats via the diet. When administered to pregnant rats by gavage or in drinking water, 2- <br /> EXA caused teratogenicity (birth defects) and delayed postnatal development of the pups. Additionally, 2- <br /> EXA impaired female fertility in rats. Birth defects were seen in the offspring of mice who were <br /> administered sodium 2-ethylhexanoate via intraperitoneal injection during pregnancy. <br /> SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION <br /> ECOTOXICITY <br /> The toxicity of this material to aquatic organisms has not been evaluated. Consequently, this material <br /> should be kept out of sewage and drainage systems and all bodies of water. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL FATE <br /> This material is expected to be readily biodegradable. <br /> SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> Use material for its intended purpose or recycle if possible. This material, if it must be discarded, may <br /> meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined by US EPA under RCRA (40 CFR 261)or other State <br /> and local regulations. Measurement of certain physical properties and analysis for regulated components <br /> may be necessary to make a correct determination. If this material is classified as a hazardous waste, <br /> federal law requires disposal at a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility. <br /> SECTION 14 TRANSPORT INFORMATION <br /> The description shown may not apply to all shipping situations. Consult 49CFR, or appropriate <br /> Dangerous Goods Regulations, for additional description requirements (e.g., technical name) and mode- <br /> specific or quantity-specific shipping requirements. <br /> DOT Shipping Name: NOT REGULATED AS A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL FOR TRANSPORTATION <br /> UNDER 49 CFR <br /> DOT Hazard Class: NOT APPLICABLE <br /> DOT Identification Number: NOT APPLICABLE <br /> DOT Packing Group: NOT APPLICABLE <br /> SECTION 15 REGULATORY INFORMATION <br /> SARA 311/312 CATEGORIES: 1.
