Abstract

Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) is a solvent with wide application in various industries. Presented in this chapter are investigations conducted in the last two decades on EGME both in humans and in animal species. The documentation has confirmed EGME as a gonadotoxicant with attendant effect on other parameters such as hematological, oxidative status, apoptosis, inflammation, gene expression and metabolism.
