[1] Later symptoms may include a decreased level of consciousness, headache, and seizures. [1] Long term outcomes may include kidney failure and brain damage. [1]
Ethylene glycol is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant that produces acute effects similar to those of ethanol. These CNS effects predominate during the first hours after exposure. If undetected or untreated, ethylene glycol ingestion can cause serious or fatal toxicity.
26 Σεπ 2022 · Ethylene glycol exposure can be extremely dangerous, with significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, sweet-tasting liquid commonly found in antifreeze but occasionally used for other purposes, such as industrial solvents.
< Prev Next > 1 PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT. This public health statement tells you about ethylene glycol and the effects of exposure to it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation.

3 Νοε 2020 · OVERVIEW. >1 mL/kg or a mouthful in a child is potentially lethal. ethylene glycol itself is relatively non-toxic -> metabolites extremely toxic (glycolate) rate limiting step = alcohol dehydrogenase activity. accumulation of glycolate -> direct cellular toxicity. CLINICAL FEATURES.
