lubricant in metal working fluids (MWFs). The

notification substance is blended into the MWFs

OTHER USES: Generic uses MCCP: 1) Forty

- three percent

of the notification substances are used as a flame

retardant/plasticizer in polymers. Typical

concentration in th e plastic is 12

- 30%. 2) Thirty

percent of the notification substance is used as a

lubricant in metal working fluids (MWFs). The

notification substance is blended into the MWFs at 5

- 10%.

3) Two percent of the notification substances is used as

lubricants in automotives. The notification substance i

blended into the lubricant at 4%. [20% consumer uses].

4) Twenty

- four percent of the notification substance is

used as a flame retardant/plasticizer in rubber. Typical

total concentration of flame retardan t/plasticizer in

the rubber is 1

- 10%, with a median value of 5.5%. 5)

One

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES ESTIMATE SUMMARY

IRER Note: The daily releases listed for any source below

may coincide with daily releases from the other sources

to the same medium. The release estimates were based on a

combination of data from d ocuments provided by the

submitter as well as EPA/OPPT standard models.

Transport the Raw Material

basis: EPA/OPPT Drum Residual Model, CEB standard 3%

estimate releases from container cleaning. Due to

uncertainty at multiple downstream sites, CEB assesses

releases to uncertain media using the standard model loss

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES ESTIMATE SUMMARY

IRER Note: The daily releases listed for any source below

may coincide with daily releases from the other sources

to the same medium. The releases estimates were based

data provided in reports provided by the submitter as

well as the 2011 ESD for the Use of Metalworking Fluids.

Water

Output 2: kg/site

- day over 247 days/yr from 4 sites

to: on

- sit or POTW (ESD)

from: Dragout Losses

basis: User

- Defined Loss Rate Model. A 2005 EU RA for

MCCPs and a 2009 EU RA for LCCPs provided by the

submission estimates workpiece dragout to account for 1

to 2% with releases water or chemical waste and grinding

swarf dragout is estimated to be 30 to 90% with relesaes

to incineration or landfill. The 2011 ESD for MWF

Operations estimates a loss rate of 11% from dragout with

releases to on

- site WWTP or POTW. These data are based on

U.S. industry data collected during the development of

effluent guidelines for the metalworking industry. These

data provide the best representation of U.S. operations

and are more conservative than the submitter estimates.

Due to uncertainty at multiple downstream sites, CEB

assesses dragout releases using the ESD estimate of 11%

and accounting for upstream losses from container

cleaning: (1

- 0.03) x 0.11 = 0.1067. Releases are assessed

to water via on

- site WWTP or POTW per submission and ESD.

The data from the 2011 ESD is most representative of U.S.

industry and is therefore used as the basis for releases.

basis: EPA/OPPT Drum Residual Model, CEB standard 3%

releases during MWF use. Due to uncertainty at multiple

downstream sites, these releases are assessed to

uncertain media using a 3% loss rate per the ESD.

Operati ons estimates these releases to account for a 36%

loss rate with releases to water, incineration, or

landfill (water

- based fluids) or incineration or landfill

(straight

- oil). Accounting for upstream container

cleaning losses: (1

- 0.03) x 0.36 = 0.3492. CEB assesses

these releases to water, incineration, or landfill based

on uncertainy at multiple downstream use sites.

Operations also assesses 100% release with the spent MWF

disposed to water (water

- based fluids) or incineration or

landfill (straight oil fluids) with at least one bath

changeout occuring per day at a facility with multiple

baths in use. Based on uncertainty at multiple downstream

use sites, CEB assesses the spent MWF to water,

incineration, or landfill. Account for upstream losses,

the loss rate is calculated as: (1

- 0.03) x (1

- Defined Loss Rate Model. A 2005 EU RA for

MCCP and a 2009 EU RA for LCCPs provide d by the submitter

estimates misting/evaporation losses to range from 2 to

5% depending on the type of MWF begin used. Based on

uncertainty at multiple downstream sites, CEB uses the

most conservative estimate of 5% loss to air from

misting/evaporation. Account for upstream losses from

container cleaning: (1

- 0.03) x 0.05 = 0.0485.

Number of workers (all sites) with inhalation exposure:

User

- defined Inhalation Model. The 2011 ESD for MWF

Operations estimates typical mist concentrations ranging

from 0.19 to 0.39 mg/m3 and high end concentrations

ranging from 0.87 to 1.42 mg/m3 depending on the type of

MWF used. These estimates ar e based on the geometric mean

(typical) and 90th percentile data (high end) of data

collected by NIOSH from 942 machinists at 79 shops across

the U.S. A range of inhalation exposure estimates are

based the high end for the range of geometric means and

90th percentiles. CEB assumes water portion is 60% of

fluid. Based on up to 20$ concentration of PMN chemical

in the neat fluid, the concentration of the PMN chemical

in the mist could be as high as 50% (20%/40%). Note, a

2005 EU RA for MCCPs and a 2009 EU RA for LCCPs estimates

mist concentrations from 1.6 to 3.4 mg/m3 based on the

95th percentile of data collected in the EU for oil

- based

and water

- based fluids. The data from the 2011 ESD are

more representative of U.S. operations since the data

were collec ted in the U.S.

Concerning what TSCA ?

PMN:

Q1: Process information and releases and exposure

information are provided for plastic and rubber

compounding. However, information for plastics and rubber

converting into final articles is not addr essed. Do you

have similar information available for downstream plastic

and rubber converting operations?| A1: We do not have

sufficient information for any downstream converting

opreations. We have discussed this particular issue

during the preparation of the PMN submissions. We felt

that we did not have enought information on this process

to feel comfortable adding the information to the

submission. | | Q2: Can you provide some detail as to how

release estimates were calculated for downstream use? |

A2: We used EPA models to calculate most of the releases.

We also asked for voluntary information from some of our

customers such as use concentration, number of workers,

and number of downstream customers.
