The case against Ethylene Glycol

Ethylene Glycol was discovered in the 1860's and was looking for an application until in 1917, during the first world war, the Germans found they could make explosives from it. In 1926 Union Carbide built their first plant in the USA to make ethylene glycol for dynamite. Because it was cheap and had the prpoerties needed for antifreeze car manufacturers and their suppliers added it to water for automobile antifreeze use.

In 2009 we were unable to find an automobile antifreeze generally available on the mass market that was not based on ethylene glycol

Yet ethylene glycol is known as the most toxic household product. 30ml can kill an adult. CHILDREN, CATS, DOGS, ANIMALS are the MOST  VULNERABLE. 

On 6 August 2009 The Daily Mail reported “Eighteen cats in one town have died after being poisoned with anti-freeze – triggering a warning to owners to keep their pets indoors. There are fears they are being targeted by an animal-hating maniac.”  The Veterinary Poisons Centre in London reported that in 2006 the ethylene glycol poisoning was 3rd on the list of reasons for cat deaths.
