Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
This compound can cause death or permanent injury via oral and inhalation routes during exposure that comes from normal use. It is incapacitating and poisonous and requires special handling. It can cause considerable discomfort by the dermal route. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Provide a low-stimulus environment. Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Treat frostbite by rapid rewarming .

Reactivity
10 ppm; NIOSH has recommended that diglycidyl ether be treated as a potential human carcinogen.
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. May explode on heating. Reacts with strong oxidants.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Epoxides, such as DIGLYCIDYL ETHER, are highly reactive. They polymerize in the presence of catalysts or when heated. These polymerization reactions can be violent. Compounds in this group react with acids, bases, and oxidizing and reducing agents. They react, possibly violently with water in the presence of acid and other catalysts.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizers.
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Carcinogenicity
A4; Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
Reproductive toxicity

STOT-single exposure
The substance is severely irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema. See Notes. The substance may cause effects on the blood, kidneys, liver and testes. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness. Medical observation is indicated.
STOT-repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction.
Aspiration hazard
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
no data available
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for diglycidyl ether(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.85(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of diglycidyl ether can be estimated to be 1(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that diglycidyl ether is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Other Information
The auto-ignition temperature is unknown in the literature.Explosive limits are unknown in the literature.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered.The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
