- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
- Polymerization hazard: Polymerization reaction may become intense and may cause pressurization
- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
-
May produce the following gases:
- Aldehydes

Zinc or aluminum can initiate the exothermic polymerization of 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (M. Sittig, 1981, Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous 365betÓéÀÖ, Park Ridge (NJ), Noyes Data Corp., 2nd ed., pp. 23).
Iron catalyzes isomerization of ethylene oxide to acetaldehyde, which is toxic and water-soluble (Denver, J.P., K.F. George, W.C. Hoffman, and H. Soo. 2001. Ethylene oxide. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
