Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention .

Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Throbbing headache; dizziness; nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain; hypotension, flush, palpitations, angina; methemoglobinemia; delirium, central nervous system depression; irritation skin Target Organs: Skin, cardiovascular system, blood, liver, kidneys (NIOSH, 2016)

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. Nitrates, nitrites, and related compounds

Evacuate area of fire ... Fight fires only from a secure, explosion-resistant position ... Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam extinguishers. Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Vapors may travel long distances to ignition sources and flashback. Vapors in confined areas may explode when exposed to fire. Containers may explode in fire. Storage containers and parts of containers may rocket great distances, in many directions. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.

Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of fire and explosion. Explosive.

Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. Evacuate area, fight fires only from an explosion-resistant location. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.

Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Spread sodium bisulfate over the area and sprinkle with water. Then flush to sewer with water. Evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area of spill or leak. Absorb liquids in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, peat, carbon, or a similar material and deposit in sealed containers. Keep EGDN out of a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion, unless the sewer is designed to prevent the build-up of explosive concentrations. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Contact your Department of Environmental protection or your regional office of the federal EPA for specific recommendations.

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Use non-sparking handtools. Do NOT expose to friction or shock. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Fireproof. Store in a separate building. Separated from acids and food and feedstuffs. Cool. Well closed.Buildings used for storage of nitroglycerin or ethylene glycol dinitrate shall be separated by at least the minimum distances required; containers of nitroglycerin or ehylene glycol dinitrate shall be kept tightly closed at all times when not in use and shall be stored in a manner that will minimized the risk of spills; only properly informed, trained, and equipped personnel shall be involved in storing, loading, and unloading, or processing liquid nitroglycerin, ethylene glycol dinitrate, or explosive mixtures containing these compounds. Also, storage areas for nitroglycerin or ethylene glycol dinitrate shall be clean, dry, and well ventilated. Storage areas for explosive forms of nitroglycerin or ethylene glycol dinitrate shall be in a structure that is bullet resistant, weather resistant, and ventilated.

Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion. May decompose explosively on shock, friction or concussion. On combustion, forms toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Reacts with acids.

Combustible liquid.ETHYLENE GLYCOL DINITRATE is explosive. Acts as a strong oxidizing agent. Heating to 114°C or above may cause a violent combustion or explosion producing toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). May also decompose explosively from shock, friction or from a build-up of electrostatic charge that sparks suddenly to ground. Can begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in an explosion if mixed with reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides, and nitrides and numerous ordinary combustible materials. Reacts violently with Al, BP, cyanides, esters, PN2H, P, NaCN, SnCl2, sodium hypophosphite, and thiocyanates. Reacts with acids and with alkalis, including ammonia and amines. Must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials (Sax and Lewis, 1987 p.664).

The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system. This may result in sudden lowering of blood pressure. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed.

Repeated exposure leads to marked tolerance and short absence from exposure may lead to sudden death. Repeated exposure leads to marked tolerance and short absence from exposure may lead to sudden death.

A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

PURE CULTURE: Ethylene glycol dinitrate was biodegraded to ethylene glycol mononitrate at a rate of 6.32 umol/hr/mg by Klebsiella oxytoca(1).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for ethylene glycol dinitrate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.16(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of ethylene glycol dinitrate can be estimated to be 40(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that ethylene glycol dinitrate is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

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.

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.
