Acute Toxicity
A: General Product Information
This product may cause irritation to the eyes. Symptoms include stinging, redness, and tearing. This product may cause
irritation to the skin. Symptoms may include redness and a burning sensation. Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (EGME)
is readily absorbed through the skin. This product may be harmful if it is absorbed through the skin. This product may cause
reversible CNS depression including drowsiness, weakness, tremor, loss of coordination, difficulty sleeping, lethargy, and
shaking, and changes in the blood, including the hemoglobin and white blood cells, following skin exposure. Chronic skin
exposure may cause encephalopathy and bone marrow depression. This product contains an epoxy resin that may cause
allergic skin sensitization reactions with prolonged or repeated skin exposure to skin, and symptoms that may include rash,
swelling, itching, and possibly blistering of the skin. Inhalation exposure may cause irritation to the respiratory tract,
including discomfort in the nose, sore throat, and coughing. Reversible CNS depression with symptoms similar to those
resulting from dermal exposure, and changes in the blood, including reduced white and red blood cell counts, hemoglobin,
hematocrit, platelet counts, may occur following inhalation exposure. EGME may have cumulative toxicity. In addition to
acute effects, prolonged or repeated inhalation exposure to vapors of EGME may also result in brain disorders as well as lung,
kidney, and liver changes. Symptoms of chronic exposure may include headache, fatigue, decreased appetite, blurred vision,
fever, staggering, decreased mental ability, anemia, toxic encephalopathy, bone marrow depression and other blood changes.
Destruction of the thymus, reduction of the white blood cell counts, and damage to the spleen were seen in rats given EGME
orally for 4 days. This product may be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion of this product may result in severe
gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding, fatty degeneration of the liver, early necrosis of the pancreas, and brain edema.
Individuals who are occupationally exposed to EGME and have pre-existing eye, respiratory, blood. neurological, and/or
kidney conditions may be at increased risk. Persons also exposed to other bone marrow depressants or substances affecting
the nervous system might also be more sensitive. Persons with allergy, eczema, or skin conditions may have conditions
aggravated with exposure to epoxy resin component in product.

ID: BEA-001
None of this product's components are listed by ACGIH, IARC, OSHA, NIOSH, or NTP.
Epidemiology
An in-plant cross-sectional study of male workers exposed to EGME during manufacturing and packing found smaller
testicular size, as well as a possible decrease in white blood cells and hemoglobin at higher exposure levels.
In a retrospective study on workers at two semiconductor plants, increased risk of spontaneous abortion and subfertility
occurred among females exposed to ethylene glycol ethers in a dose-related manner.
Neurotoxicity
In acute exposures, EGME can be a CNS depressant, and there have been human cases of chronic encephalopathy. Major
effects of acute exposure to EGME are loss of coordination, weakness, difficulty sleeping, tremors, headache, lethargy,
personality changes, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, bedwetting, loss of appetite, agitation, convulsions, coma, and death.
Mutagenicity
EGME has not been active in genetic assays which detect primary DNA damage, mutations, or chromosome damage. It was
inactive in the Ames Salmonella microsome assay, did not induce unscheduled DNA synthesis in human cells or chromosome
aberrations in rat bone marrow, and was ambiguous for inducing sex-linked recessive lethal mutations in fruit flies. However,
EGME was positive for inducing dominant lethal mutations in rats after treatment of males, and also induced abnormalities in
the structure of sperm in mice.
Teratogenicity
EGME is the most potent glycol ether for inducing birth defects and male sterility in laboratory animals. EGME is known to
cause CNS, cardiovascular, and skeletal birth defects, damage to the testes, reduction in sperm number, infertility, and
abnormal sperm in experimental animals. Even a single exposure to EGME is sufficient to induce damage to the testes and
reduce the sperm count in rats. EGME was teratogenic in mice, in rats exposed to 100 ppm, and in rabbits exposed to 50
ppm. EGME also caused birth defects in rats when applied dermally, and smaller litter size and poor survival were also found
in rats exposed by the dermal route. Behavioral and neurochemical differences were seen in the offspring of rats given doses
of only 25 ppm. One epidemiological study found no effects on human male fertility, but did find slightly reduced testicular
size.

Ecotoxicity

B: Component Analysis - Ecotoxicity - Aquatic Toxicity
Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (Methyl Cellosolve) (109-86-4)
LC50 (96 hr) rainbow trout: 15,520 mg/L. Cond: 12 degrees C.; LC50 (96 hr) bluegill: 10,000 ppm.
Cond: Static, 23 degrees C.
Environmental Fate
In the atmosphere, Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (EGME) will photodegrade primarily by reaction with hydroxyl
radicals in hours and rainout may be significant. Although no data on its rate of degradation in natural waters could be found,
laboratory tests suggest that it will degrade in water. It will slowly volatilize, but will not sorb to sediment or bioconcentrate
in aquatic organisms. Its fate when spilled on land is unknown, although volatilization from near-surface soil and leaching to
groundwater are possible. Biodegradation of 100-1000 mg/L 2-methoxyethanol with activated sludge at 20 degrees C for 10
days resulted in 64.7% theoretical BOD. EGME's low octanol/water partition coefficient indicates that its adsorption to soil
will be low and that it will not bioconcentrate in fish. This product is relatively volatile (vapor pressure 9.5 torr(1)) and
would, therefore, evaporate from soil and other surfaces.
