Fresh air, rest.
Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Rinse mouth. Refer immediately for medical attention. See Notes.
Ingestion of large amounts may cause degeneration of kidney and liver and cause death. Liquid may cause slight skin irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Supportive Care: The patient should be resuscitated with isotonic crystalloidal fluids, and acidosis should be corrected. Early treatment with a competitive ADH inhibitor (e.g., 4-methylpyrazole or ethanol), hemodialysis, and supportive care offer the best hope for patient recovery.
Alcohol foam, water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Use powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.

SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a POTW is acceptable only after review by the governing authority. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must meet Hazardous Material Criteria for disposal.
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Dry. Well closed. Separated from strong oxidants.

Reacts violently with strong oxidants strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks some forms of plastic.
Low volatility
Slight, when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials.DIETHYLENE GLYCOL is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with strong bases. It can react with sulfuric acid and other dehydrating agents, nitric acid, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, perchloric acid and strong acids. Mixtures with sodium hydroxide decompose exothermically when heated to 446° F. (NTP, 1992)

A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
AEROBIC: Diethylene glycol, present at 30 mg/L, reached 90% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 100 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). The compound, present at 100 mg/L, showed 59% (rate constant of 0.081/day, 5 day lag period) and 89% degradation (0.173/day, 5 day lag period) using the Sapromat and Oxitop systems, respectively, in manometric respirometry tests using activated sludge at 30 mg/L dry matter(2). Biodegradation of 44% and 78% degradation were reported when using seawater as inoculum in a shake flask die-away test (chemical concentration of 5-30 DOC/L) and the closed bottle oxygen consumption test (test chemical concentration of 2-10 mg/L), respectively, both incubated at 15-20 deg C for 28 to 60 days; however, high carbon levels may have compromised the test results(3).
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for diethylene glycol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -1.5(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(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of diethylene glycol can be estimated to be 1(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethylene glycol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

The 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.
