INITIAL REVIEW ENGINEERING REPORT 

PMN: 03-0141 

USE #1: 

Site/Location: <1,000 unknown sites (per contact report) 

Days/yr: 220 (per submission) 

basis: . 

Process Description: PMN substance imported in stainlesssteel containers ->Loaded into holding 

tanks -> Reaction process for 2 days -> 

PMN not incorporated with final product 

is separated out and purified for use 

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES (Eqpt. cleaning, container residue, etc.): 

WATER: 0.018 kg/site-day over 50 Days/year 

from: Equipment cleaning 

to: on-site WWT (submission) 

basis: 

AIR: Negligible (<23.26 kg/site-yr) 

from: fugitive emissions from emptying drums 

to: Stack air

INCINERATION: < PV 

from: Equipment cleaning, spent solvent, and 

container residue.

LANDFILL: Not expected 

Basis: 

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE 

 Tot. # of workers: 1000's (CEB minimum of 3 workers per 

site) 

 Days/yr: 220 (submission) 

Inhalation: Vapor (class II) 

Worst: 8 mg/day over 220 Days/yr 

Typical: 0.3 mg/day over 220 Days/yr 

 Number of workers with inhalation exposure: <1000's 

Basis: Used CEB spreadsheet for vapor generation and 

inhalation exposure. The reaction takes place in 

a closed system; however, inhalation exposure 

during loading to the holding tank may occur. 

Assumed a 1 inch bung to estimate open surface 

emissions during unloading. These results are 

saved in P01141.wk1. Assumed 0.05 hours per day 

operation (to unload 50,000/1,000/220=0.23 kg) 

Note: The respirator class: II. Gas/vapor (all 

substances in the gas form); 

Dermal: contact with liquids: 1,800 mg/day 

 100% concentration 

 Basis: CEB Routine Contact, 2 hands (Cleaning of equipment) 

1005 * 1,800 mg/day

USE #2: 

Site/Location: 4 unknown use sites (generic scenario) 

Days/yr: 250 (standard CEB estimate) 

Basis: 

Process Description: Polymers dissolved in the PMN substance 

may be coated on the surface of 

semiconductor parts. The PMN substance 

may be evaporated to leave a polymer 

layer on the surface (submission) 

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES (Eqpt. cleaning, container residue, etc.):
