AB Ethylene  glycol  is  the  primary  ingredient  (up  to  95%)  in  antifreeze.  It  sometimes  is  consumed  intentionally  as  an  alcohol  substitute  by  alcoholics  and  is  tempting  to  children  and  pets  because  of  its  sweet  taste.  Intoxication  by  ethylene  glycol  itself  causes  inebriation  and  mild  gastritis;  more  importantly,  its  metabolic  products  cause  metabolic  acidosis,  renal  failure,  and  death.  Other  glycols  may  also  produce  toxicity  (Table  II–26).
