Ethylene glycol is quite toxic because it is metabolized into compounds that clog up and kill the kidneys in mammals.
Propylene glycol on the other hand is a common food additive.
Not all glycols are the same.

Why is the flame of a lighter hotter than a match?
That's similar to asking, "Why is a boulder heavier than a pebble?" Flames from a larger fire are more concentrated and fuel needing, just like the sun is bound to be a lot hotter than a spark. Fire temperatures vary greatly and generally the larger the fire the hotter. There are rare exceptions, however.
What is the specification of Intermediate Fuel Oil that is graded as 180 CST?
The CST (centistoke) is a measure of viscosity. IFO 180 fuel oil contains less than 3.5 percent sulfur with a flash point of greater than 60C. The pour point is at 30C maximum year round.
ECC memory is more reliable than non-ECC memory?
ECC cost more but is more reliable than non-ECC memory. TRUE

Is density of ethylene glycol greater than water or less than water?
Ethylene Glycol is about 11% more dense than pure water at the same temperature.
Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?
Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.
Why is glycerol heavier than ethylene glycol?
For the same reason a lion weighs more than a cat: there is more mass involved.
How much more efficient is it to use water rather than water and glycol for heat transfer on a cooling system?
Glycol helps disperse heat much more rapidly and efficiently than just plain water. If you want the added heat, plain water is better. If you're trying to remove the heat ie. automotive, you'll need the glycol.
Who invented the antifreeze?
There are more than one kind of antifreeze used at different times and for different purposes, which do you want?Alcohol based antifreeze (obsolete)Ethylene Glycol antifreezePropylene Glycol antifreeze (used in potable water systems)etc.
Why does ethylene glycol increase the boiling point of water?
Ethylene glycol has a higher boiling point and a lower vapour pressure than water.
When ethylene glycol is added to water the melting point of water is?
Ethylene glycol is antifreeze. The mixture has a lower melting point than pure water.
Will ethanol have a greater viscosity than ethylene glycol at the same temperature?
Ethanol is less viscous than ethylene glycol at the same temperature. This is because ethanol only has one -OH group, which is responsible for viscosity.
Does higher octane fuel produce more power than regular fuel?
No.
Does ethylene glycol molecules have a greater attraction for cyclopentane than for each other?
False
Prices for fuel pumps?
Most fuel pumps for fuel injected vehicles will cost more than $100.00, U.S.
Do cars use more fuel to start than idle?
Modern fuel injected cars, no.
