OPTIONAL POLLUTION 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 

ofthe 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 ofchemical wastes by technological 

modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and/or 

inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation ofuseful chemical components from wastes that would 

otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, Or land disposal. Descriptions ofpollution 

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 the 

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 ofthe 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 Instructions Manual and Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance and 

examples. 

Describe 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 ofthe new chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical 

substances used in similar application; 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. 

1. 	 Reduce vae due to elimination/reduction in use of current industrial external press release 

(waxes & oils). 

2. 	 Reduce end use phenol/formaldehyde binder in composite wood products. 

3. 	 Reduce end emissions of formaldehyde from composite wood production.

Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and 

turnout gear. Unusual Hazards: 

Reacts violently with water, alcohols, amines, acides, and alkaline 

solutions. 

SECTION 5 - HEALTH EPPBCTS 

Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin 

contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases 

include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route 

of entry for liquified gases. 

Acute Overexposure Bffects: , Eye contact with isocyanates may result in conjunctival irritation 

and mild corneal opacity. Skin contact may result in dermatitis, 

either irritative or allergic. ­ Inhalation of MDI vapors may cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose, throat or trachea, breathlessness, chest discomfort, difficult breathing and reduced pulmonary function. Airborne overexposure well above the PEL may result additionally in eye 

irritation, headache, chemical bronchitis, asthma-like findings or 

pulmonary edema. Isocyanates have also been reported to cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms, 

the onset of which may be delayed. Gastrointestinal symptoms 

include nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Chronic Overexposure Bffects: . Results from a lifetime inhalation study in rats indicate that MOl 

aerosol was carcinogenic at 6 mg/m3, the highest dose tested. This is 

well above the recommended TLV of 5 ppb (0.05 mg/m3). Only irritation 

was noted at the lower concentration of 0.2 and 1 mg/m3. No birth 

defects or teratogenic effects were reported in a teratology study 

with rats exposed to 1, 4, and 12 mg/m3 polymeric MOl for 6 hr/day 

on days 6-15 of gestation. Embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity was 

reported at the top dose in the presence of maternal toxicity. 

As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals will develop isocyanate sensitization 

(chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later exposure 

to isocyanate at levels well below the PEL/TLV. These symptoms, which include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, 

or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or delayed up to several 

hours after exposure. Similar, to many non-specific asthmatic 

responses, there are reports that once sensitized an individual can 

experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air, or other

irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and 

in severe cases for several years. Chronic overexposure to 

isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage, including 

a decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Sensitization 

may be either temporary or permanent. Prolonged contact can cause 

reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, or blistering. In those who have 

developed a skin sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a 

result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material, or even 

as a result of vapor-only exposure. Pirst Aid procedures - Skin: 

Wash affected areas with soap and water. Remove and launder 

contaminated clothing before reuse. Get immediate medical attention. 

Pirst Aid procedures - Byes: 

Immediately rinse eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get 

immediate medical attention. 

Pirst Aid Procedures - Inqestion: 

If swallowed, dilute with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Never 

give fluids or induce vomiting if the victim is unconscious or having 

convulsions. Get immediate medical attention. 

Pirst Aid Procedures - Inhalation: 

Move to fresh air. Aid in breathing, if necessary, and get 

immediate medical attention. 

Pirst Aid Procedures - Notes to Physicians: 

There is no specific antidote to counteract the effects of MDI. 

Care should be supportive and treatment should be based on the 

judgement of the physician in response to the reaction of the 

patient. Pirst Aid Procedures - Aqqravated .edical Conditions: 

Individuals who are sensitized to isocyanates and those with pre­ exisiting lung diseases or conditions, including non-specific 

bronchial hyperreactivity or asth.ma, must avoid all exposure to 

isocyanates. Pirst Aid Procedures - Special Precautions: 

None 

Other Pirst Aid procedures: 

Medical supervision of all employees who handle or come into contact 

with MDI is recommended. Preemployment and periodic medical examinations with respiratory function tests (FEV, FVC as a minimum are 

suggested). Persons with asthmatic conditions chronic bronchitis, 

other chronic respiratory diseases, recurrent eczema or pulmonary sensitization should be excluded from working with MDI. Once a 

person is diagnosed as having pulmonary sensitization (allergic asthma) to MDI, further exposure is not permissible.
