The most important routes of exposure to propylene glycol for members of the general population are ingestion and dermal contact with products containing this compound.
The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicology and adverse health effects information for the toxic substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicological properties.
Toxic effects include hyperosmolality, increased anion gap metabolic acidosis (due to lactic acidosis), acute kidney injury, and sepsis-like syndrome. Treatment of toxicity includes hemodialysis to effectively remove propylene glycol. Prevention is best achieved by limiting the dose of propylene glycol infused.
Propylene glycol is a clear liquid used in antifreeze and deicing solutions. It is generally regarded as safe for use in food. Propylene glycol has been found in at least 5 of the 1,416 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
