The danger of ethylene glycol explosion should be explained from four aspects, as follows:

1, risks of ethylene glycol itself

Ethylene glycol itself is a low toxic product, and its oral lethal dose to mice is LD50 =1.31~13.8 ml/kg, so its toxicity is not great.

Generally speaking, chronic poisoning is the main cause, and acute poisoning is mainly accidental ingestion, which will cause central nervous system poisoning to spread further to the heart and lungs.

2. Product risk of ethylene glycol deflagration

The normal and full combustion of ethylene glycol will produce carbon dioxide and water, which is non-toxic. However, in the process of rapid deflagration, oxygen deficiency is easy to occur, resulting in insufficient combustion and carbon monoxide, so this gas is harmful to people.
