Narrative Description and Process Flow Schematic: 

Provide overall material balance of the chemical being reported, showing releases 

and products (kgs/year). Use the following page to provide a narrative description and 

process flow schematic of on-site activities, and include information that gives an 

understanding of the nature and extent of potential exposures to the subject chemical. 

Attach additional pages if desired. The narrative and process flow schematic should cover 

major unit operations and chemical conversions for manufacturing and on-site uses, if 

applicable. The narrative should provide insight into why and how releases are caused by 

the process. The schematic should show the points of release of the subject chemical in 

the workplace and to the environment. In the event the subject chemical is used in many 

different processes, provide information on each major process instead of each individual 

process.

IV. SITE RELEASE AND TRANSFER INFORMATION 

(For manufacturing and on-site processing/use if applicable)

In this section, estimate the total media-specific releases after on-site treatment of 

the chemical from your facility. You may estimate the releases by using monitoring data 

or any other method you believe appropriate. Estimates should be reported in kgs per 

year for the reporting period. Enter the values as whole numbers to no more than two 

significant figures. For example, if your annual releases are estimated to be 12,360 kgs, 

an estimate of 12,000 kgs should be reported.

Estimate the number of days per year the release occurs. Enter a whole number 

with a maximum of 2 significant figures.

Insert “NA” for release activities not associated with the chemical or “0” for 

releases of less than 0.5 kgs per year.

For all releases, the source of data and/or basis for determination should be 

described in detail. Suggested information about the possible sources/basis includes:

1. If the source/basis is an analytical measurement, then

 Describe the method (including analytical standards used, sampling, 

sample treatment, analysis).

 Describe the uncertainties and assumptions made.

 Give the Level of Detection (LOD)/Level of Quantification (LOQ).

2. If the source/basis is a mass balance, then

 Show the mass balance calculation.

 Show that the mass balance closes.

 If the mass balance does not close, then report the fraction of total 

feedstock that is not accounted for and the assumptions you made to 

correct the balance. Describe the uncertainties.

3. If the source/basis is other than measurement or mass balance, then

 Describe the method used. For example, if engineering calculations are 

used, give a general description and state your assumptions. Describe the 

uncertainties.

A. ON-SITE AIR RELEASES

Estimate the total fugitive or non-point releases to air and the number of days per

year the releases occur. These releases include equipment leaks from valves, pump seals, 

flanges, compressors, sampling connections, and open-ended lines; evaporative losses 

from surface impoundments and spills; releases from building ventilation systems; and,

any other fugitive or non-point air emission.

In addition, estimate the total releases that occur through stacks, vents, pipes, or 

other confined air streams as stack or point source releases. Include storage tank 

emissions and releases from pollution control equipment.

If desired, you can provide estimates of the accuracies of your release estimates.

B. WATER RELEASES FROM SITE

Estimate the total releases of the chemical leaving the fence line of your facility 

from all discharge points to all streams or water bodies. Include all discharges from 

process outfalls such as pipes, open trenches, releases from on-site wastewater treatment, 

and contribution from storm water runoff, if applicable. Do not include discharges to a 

POTW or other off-site wastewater treatment facilities. If desired, you can provide an 

estimate of the accuracy of your release estimate.

Part IV (cont.)

C. ON-SITE LAND RELEASES

Estimate the total releases of the chemical for each category of land disposal, if 

applicable. Estimate only on-site releases. Do not estimate leaks from landfills separately. 

This should be accounted for in your estimate of total landfill release.

Releases to land treatment/land amendment include all waste containing the 

chemical that is applied or incorporated into soil on-site. Do not include waste that is 

landfilled.

Surface impoundments are natural topographic depressions, man-made 

excavations, or diked areas formed primarily of earthen materials designed to hold an 

accumulation of the chemical.

Underground injection is the technology of placing fluids underground, in porous 

formations of rocks, through wells or other similar conveyance systems.

Other releases include any amount of the chemical that is released to land other 

than those listed. An example is the accidental release of the chemical from an 

underground pipeline or storage tank.

previous release estimates.

transferred and the accuracy of the estimate for each category listed. If your facility sends 

the subject chemical in waste to an off-site location where some of the chemical will be 

recycled and the remainder will be treated, estimate each amount separately (i.e., waste 

treatment and recycling activities).

(3) Waste methanol

(4) Waste C6H

1-2 Reagents

Test substance, ammonium perfluorononanoate (APFN, 99.9%, S-111P, lot. JI020619) 

was produced in Seimi Chemical (Kanagawa, Japan). The surrogate standard, 9-

hydrohexadecafluorononanoic acid (9H-PFNA, 97.8%, lot. C58002501), were purchased from 

Daikin Fine Chemical (Osaka, Japan). Distilled water was produced in-house and checked for 

contaminants by LC/MS before use. Distilled water was filtered through a pre-column, PrecleanORG (GL Sciences Inc. (Tokyo, Japan)) placed between HPLC pump and solvent mixing unit. 

HPLC grade methanol, reagent grade ethanol, and reagent grade ammonium acetate were 

purchased from Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.

In order to avoid contamination, disposable lab ware (tubes, pipettes, etc) was used. 2 mmol/L 

ammonium acetate aqueous solution was prepared for HPLC mobile phase.

1-3 Preparation of fortification and surrogate standard

A fortification standard containing appropriate amount of PFOA was prepared using a 

solvent (2 / 8 (wt) mixture of distilled water / ethanol). A surrogate standard containing 100 

ng/ml 9H-PFNA was prepared using a solvent (1 / 1 (wt) mixture of distilled water / ethanol).

1-4 Pretreatment of samples

(1) Product

One ml of the sample was put in each of several vials. Appropriate amount of each 

fortification standards of APFN was added into the vials. Five ml of ethanol was added into each 

vials for the extraction by ultrasonic. Precipitate was separated by centrifugation or filtration. 0.1 

ml of each supernatant and 2 ml of surrogate standard were put in a vial and mixed well. A 

portion of the solution was put into the auto-sampler vial, and injected into LC/MS conditioned 

as follows. The calculation of concentration in sample was conducted using standard addition 

method.

(2) Waste water

Appropriate amount of the sample was put in each of several vials. Appropriate amount 

of each fortification standards of APFN was added into the vials and shaken vigorously. The mix 
solution was appropriately diluted with the surrogate standard. A portion of the solution was put 

into the auto-sampler vial, and injected into LC/MS conditioned as follows. The calculation of 

concentration in sample was conducted using standard addition method.

(3) Waste methanol

Same as (2) Waste water.

(4) Waste C6H

One g of the sample was put in each of several vials. Appropriate amount of each 

fortification standards of APFN were added into the vials. Ten ml of ethanol/water (1/1 (wt)) was 

added into each vials for the extraction by shaking. The solution in ethanol/water layer was 

appropriately diluted with the surrogate standard. A portion of the solution was put into the autosampler vial, and injected into LC/MS conditioned as follows. The calculation of concentration 

in sample was conducted using standard addition method.
