ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Systemic ethylene glycol toxicity can occur through ingestion.If ethylene glycol releases as a vapor, it is unlikely to pollute agricultural products. Agricultural: If ethylene glycol releases as a liquid spray (aerosol) or mist, it may pollute agricultural products.

Outdoor Air: Ethylene glycol can release into outdoor air as a liquid spray (aerosol), vapor, or mist.

Food: Ethylene glycol can pollute food.

Examples include antifreeze, hydraulic brake fluids, some stamp pad inks, ballpoint pens, solvents, paints, plastics, films, and cosmetics. DESCRIPTION: Ethylene glycol is a useful industrial compound found in many consumer products.Often colored fluorescent yellow-green when used in automotive antifreeze. APPEARANCE: Clear, colorless, syrupy (viscous) liquid at room temperature.
