Ethylene glycol binds with water, so it can be rinsed and diluted. The primary danger is its sweet taste, so children and animals can eat it, and it is toxic.

Ethylene glycol in air will break down in about 10 days.

Ethylene glycol in water and in soil will breakdown within several days to a few weeks.

Ethylene glycol in coolant or propylene gylcol?

Propylene glycol is generally considered safer than ethylene glycol for use in coolant/antifreeze due to its lower toxicity. This makes propylene glycol a preferred choice for applications where accidental ingestion may occur, such as in RVs or marine engines. Additionally, propylene glycol is less harmful to the environment compared to ethylene glycol.

How does ethanol prevent ethylene glycol poisoning?

Ethanol is used as an antidote for ethylene glycol poisoning because it competes with ethylene glycol for the same enzyme that metabolizes both substances in the liver. By giving ethanol, it can inhibit the formation of toxic metabolites of ethylene glycol, thereby reducing its toxicity. This allows more ethylene glycol to be excreted unchanged in the urine.
