[div id="page1"]VANCOUVER — In an effort to protect pet animals, B.C. will legally require the addition of a bittering agent to antifreeze and engine coolant sold in the province, the government announced Wednesday.[/p]"The sweet taste of antifreeze is a major reason for the accidental — often fatal — ingestion of toxic antifreeze by pets, wildlife and young children," Environment Minister Barry Penner said in a press release. "By making it mandatory to add an extremely bitter substance to the product, we will make it less appealing, reducing its likelihood of being consumed in significant quantities."[/p]Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze is the most common type of antifreeze commercially available, the release said, adding that it is also highly toxic and its appealing sweet taste has linked it to a number of poisonings of animals and small children.[/p]The new regulation will mandate the addition of denatonium benzoate — better known under the trade names Bitrex or Aversion — to ethylene glycol antifreeze sold at the retail level in B.C, the release said.[/p]The addition of a bitterant to antifreeze will lessen its appeal, not its toxicity. The new Antifreeze Regulation will be effective Jan. 1, 2011.[/p][div class="copyright"]© Copyright (c) The Vancouver Sun
