On April 4, 2017, the Office of Administrative Law approved the amendment of Title 27, California Code of Regulations, section 25805, Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL) for the chemical ethylene glycol (ingested). The regulation will be effective on July 1 2017. This regulation establishes a MADL of 8,700 (oral) micrograms per day for ethylene glycol (ingested).

Ethylene glycol (CAS No.: 107-21-1) was included in the list of Prop 65 for its reproductive toxicity on 19 June 2015. Pursuant to Prop 65 Regulation, all products placed on the California market shall be attached with a warning if a substance is present in the Prop 65 list. Ethylene glycol is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of polyester compounds. It is also a constituent in antifreeze, deicing fluids, surface coatings, heat transfer fluids and industrial coolants, hydraulic fluids, surfactants and emulsifiers.
