and clinical signs and increased relative kidney werght with mice.
There was no histologic evidence of damage to the kidneys in either species.
The no-observable effects doses for maternal toxicity were 11 26 mglkglday for
rats and 5630 mglkgiday for mice. Minor fetotoxtcity (reduced fetal body
weights and increased skeletal variations) was present with doses of 11 260
mgkgiday for rats and 5630 and 11 260 mgkglday for mice. The no-observable
effect dose for fetotoxicity was 5630 mglkglday for rats and 563 mglkglday
for mice.
Overexposure to vapor generated at high temperatures may result in eye and
i respiratory tract irritation, dizziness, nausea and the inhalation of harmful
1
amounts of material.

VI. REACTIVITY DATA
INCOMPATIBILITY irn~~er~als to avoid):
I
Explosive decomposition may occur ~f combined with strong acids or strong
bases and subjected to elevated temperatures. Therefore, avoid strong acids
I
and strong bases at elevated temperatures. Avoid contarnlnatlon with strong
1 ox~dizing agents and materials reactive with hydroxyl cornpounas.

HAZARDOUS COMB^ STlON OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
i Burning can produce the following products:
Carbon monoxrde andlor carbon dioxide.
Carbon monoxide is highly toxic if inhaled: carbon dioxide In sufficient
concentrations can act as an asphyxiant.
If the flu~d is heated above the temperature of the onset of initial
decomposition. 206 C, thermal degradatron may result in the formation
of volat~le organic compounds such as aldehydes including formaldehyde
and acetaldehyde, dioxolanes, glycol ethers including ethylene glycol
monomethyl ether, and other potentrally harmful decomposition products.
Respiratory protection may be required.
