OPTIONAL POLLunON PREVENTION INFORMATION 

To claim information in this section as confidential circle or bracket the specific information that you claim as confidential. 

In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your 

efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding 

manufacturing, processing, use and disposal of the PMN substance. Please include new 

information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities 

and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance. Source reduction 

includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of chemical wastes by technological 

mcxlification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials 

substitution, and/ or inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful chemical 

components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water 

discharges, or land disposal. Descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and 

recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with existing 

regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or qualitative. The EPA is interested in 

this information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and 

exposures, not the shifting of risks to other environmental media or non-environmental areas 

(e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). In addition, information on the relative cost or 

performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential alternatives may be provided. 

All information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review 

of this substance. See the revised Instructions Manual that includes a Pollution Prevention 

manual for guidance and examples. 

Desaibe the expected net benefits, such as (1) an overall reduction in risk to human health or the environment; (2) a reduction in 

the volume manufactured; (3) a reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction or other means; (4) a reduction in potential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental release; (5) an increase in product 

performance, a decrease in the cost of production and/or improved operation efficiency of the new chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical substances used in similar applications; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical substance may be a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overall risk to human health or the environment.

immediately. 

IF INHALED: Remove subject to fresh air. 

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: 

There is no specific antidote for exposure to this material. Treatment of 

overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical 

condition. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of 

symptoms and the clinical condition. 

5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 

FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: 

Use water, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide to extinguish fires. 

FIRE CONTROL TACTICS: 

Wear self-contained, positive pressure breathing apparatus and full fire 

fighting protective clothing. 

Keep unnecessary people away. Use as little water as possible. Dike area 

of fire to prevent material run-off. Use spray or fog - solid stream may 

cause spreading. 

Do not decontaminate personnel or equipment, or handle broken packages or 

containers without protective equipment as specified in the Exposure 

Control Section. Decontaminate emergency personnel with soap and water 

before leaving the fire area. 

Avoid breathing dusts, vapors and fumes from burning materials. Control 

run-off water - if water enters a drainage system, advise the authorities 

downstream.
