| Abstract |
No data are available on the toxic effects of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether in humans. Animal studies indicate that following oral uptake the substance has a low toxicity. It is slightly irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. The target organs for male animals after repeated intake are the reproductive organs. Foetotoxic and teratogenic effects have been observed. Most mutagenicity tests give no indication of a genotoxic effect. |
