PG Toxicity and Reproductive Safety

[Vocalek]

If this has been posted elsewhere, my apologies. But I see the question come up over and over again regarding the safety of Propylene Glycol (PG). I discovered this document today, issued by the National Toxicology Program, Department of Health and Human Services

http://cerhr.niehs.nih.gov/chemicals/egpg/propylene/PG_Monograph.pdf

Crucial messages

Overall Toxicity:
"Clear evidence of no adverse effects"

Reproductive Risk:

"The NTP concurs with the CERHR EG/PG Expert Panel that there is negligible concern for adverse developmental or reproductive toxicity from PG exposures in humans."

Great find Vocalek, thanks.

I'm adding it to my store of documents about PG (lack of) toxicity, which includes the EPA's 2006 report (http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/propylene_glycol_red.pdf).
