4.First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
In case of skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .
In case of eye contact
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
If swallowed
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Vapors irritate nose and eyes in high concentrations. Liquid irritates skin in prolonged or repeated contact. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Ethylene glycol, glycols, and related compounds/
5.Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media

5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: A 5-day BOD test showed a 41% of theoretical BOD for ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate using a sewage inoculum and the standard dilution method(1). BOD values which were 36, 79, 82, and 80% of the theoretical value were measured for 5, 10, 15, and 20 days incubation, respectively, using a non-acclimated, settled wastewater seed(2). BOD values of 10, 44, 59, and 69% of the theoretical BOD were measured for 5, 10, 15, and 20 days incubation, respectively, using a non-acclimated seawater seed with added raw wastewater(2). Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is considered to be "well-biodegradable" (theoretical BOD > 30% after 14 days of inoculation) using the Japanese MITI protocol(3). A 5-day BOD 18.1% of the theoretical value was measured using a sewage inoculum and the standard dilution method(4); a 5-day BOD 1.1% of the theoretical value was measured using a seawater inoculum and a seawater dilution method(4). Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate was classified as easily degraded using the TOC die-away method in two river waters, with a 28 day incubation(5).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 3.0 was calculated for ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 0.24(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is estimated as 32(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.24(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is expected to have a very high mobility in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects

13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
