Excerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]:

Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide, water. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer immediately 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. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.

· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.

· ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

General First Aid:

(General first aid procedures)

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in inert absorbent. Wash away remainder with plenty of water. Store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

Clothing which becomes contaminated with allyl glycidyl ether should removed immediately and placed in closed containers for storage until it can be discarded or until provision is made for removal of alllyl glycidyl ether from clothing. If the clothing is to be laundered or cleaned, the person performing the operation should be informed of allyl glycidyl ether's hazardous properties.

Where there is any possibility of a worker's eyes being exposed to AGE, an eye-wash fountain should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use. ...

Where there is any possibility of a worker's body being exposed to AGE, facilities for quick drenching of the body should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use. ...

The mutagenicity of allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) was evaluated in Salmonella tester strains TA98 and TA1535, both in the presence and absence of added metabolic activation by either Aroclor-induced or phenobarbitol-induced rat liver S9 fraction. AGE was tested for mutagenicity at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 micromoles/plate using the plate incorporation method. AGE caused a positive response in tester strain 1535 at 2.0 micromoles/plate in the presence of metabolic activation by Aroclor-induced rat liver S9 fraction.

The effect of allyl glycidyl ether was examined in the DNA repair assay. Human mononucleated white cells in G-0 phase were exposed to 1, 10, 100 or 500 ppm test article (dissolved in DMSO) for 5 hours. Exposure at any concentration did not statistically significantly (Duncan's LSD test, p > 0.05) increase the number of grains per nucleus counted on autoradiographs, or increase the intracellular incorporation of tritiated thymidine measured by liquid scintillation counting. In a preliminary range finding test, toxicity was reported at the upper dose levels used in the definitive test.

The mutagenicity of allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) was evaluated in male B6D2F1 mice (at least 10) dermally exposed to GBE at a dose level of 1.5 g/kg three times/week for a minimum of 8 weeks. Following the treatment period, the male mice were mated with 3 untreated, virgin female B6D2F1f mice for one week and mated with 3 fresh females for a second week. Significant differences were observed between treated and control mice in the following: proportion of deaths/pregnancy (decreased throughout the study). Significant differences were observed between treated mice over time in the following: number of implants/pregnancy (decreased versus controls in 1st week post-treatment, decreased versus controls in 2nd week post-treatment). There were no differences between treated and control mice or in treated mice over time with respect to percent pregnancy.

SEVERAL CASES OF DERMATITIS AND 1 CASE OF EYE IRRITATION CONSTITUTE THE HUMAN DATA.

Allyl glycidyl ether is a CNS depressant and also causes acute pulmonary edema. It is classified as slightly toxic after oral administration and percutaneous application, appreciably irritating and injurious to the eyes and skin, capable of causing skin sensitization in human subjects ... .

Short-term (acute): Exposure to AGE can cause moderate irritation of the skin and severe irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Long-term (chronic): Exposure to AGE can cause dermatitis with itching, swelling, and blisters. Skin sensitization to AGE and cross sensitization with other epoxy agents can also occur.

Dermal contact is the usual mode of exposure, but droplets in mist can also attack the eyes and respiratory tract. Glycidyl & diglycidyl ethers tend to be irritants and sensitizing agents. /Glycidyl & diglycidyl ethers/
