### MEMORANDUM

DATE: October 22, 2010

SUBJECT: Review of Glycol Ether Emi ssions Associated with Wood Furniture Manufacturing Source Category

FROM: Kaye Whitfield

TO: Docket No.: EPA_HQ-OAR-2010-0786

Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Ai r Act (CAA) directs EPA to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after the appli cation of maximum achievable contro l technology (MACT) standards under section 112(d). EPA is to promulgate more stri ngent standards for a category or subcategory of sources subject to MACT standa rds under section 112(d) if promul gation of such standards is necessary to protect public health with an ample margin of safety or to prevent (taking into consideration various factors) adverse environmental effects.

In an effort to streamline the process of maki ng residual risk decisions, EPA plans to address residual risk and perform a technology review si multaneously for multiple source categories. The first part of this approach is to compile a nd review (and update with facility-specific data collected by EPA in some cases ) readily available source cate gory emissions data from the National Emissions Inventory (NE I), to conduct preliminary risk assessments, and to make the data and results available for public review.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an overview of findings related to glycol ether emissions, as reported in the NE I by facilities in the wood furnitu re manufacturing operations source category. Glycol ethers are a class of compounds that contains multiple individual pollutants, some are hazardous air po llutants (HAP) and some are not.

The advance notice of proposed rulemaking for the wood furniture manufacturing operations source category identified 644 fac ilities, based on Version 4 of the 2002 NEI. However, after input from the industry trade associations, the numb er of major facilities in the source category was revised to 406. Of the 406 facilities, a tota l of 92 (or 23%) reported glycol ether emissions (see Table 1), 66 reported unspeciated glycol ether emissions (see Table 2), and 26 reported speciated glycol ether emissions (s ee Table 3). These reported gl ycol ether emissions represent a total of 137 tons per year of glycol ethers.

### To better understand the genera l types and amounts of glycol ethers used in wood furniture coatings, a speciation profile was developed ba sed on speciated glycol ether emissions data reported by 26 facilities in the NEI. We found that a total of 11 di fferent glycol ethers are used in wood furniture coatings, representing 16 tons per year of speciated glycol ethers. The speciation profile was derived by determining the contribution of each glycol ether to the overall total. For example, ethyl glycol mono-n-pr opyl ether (also known as “propyl cellosolve”) contributed 7.18 tons of the total 16.21 tons of all speciated glycol ethers, which is 44.3% of the total. The speciation profile is shown in Table 5.

It is important to note that glycol ethers are not present in all wood furnitu re coatings; therefore, emissions of glycol ethers are not reported in the NEI for each indi vidual wood furniture facility. Based on a random sampling of Material Safety Data Sheets of wood furniture coatings, we found that not all wood furniture coatings contai n glycol ethers (see At tachment 1.) Glycol ethers are commonly used as a solvent substitute in water-borne coatings . The desired coating property determines whether a wood furniture facili ty selects a coating co ntaining glycol ethers, or a coating formulated with a more traditiona l solvent. Based on information obtained from MSDS identifying the absence or presence of glycol ethers in the coatings, and the fact that glycol ether-containing co atings are selected based on desire d property, we believe the number of facilities that reported glycol ethers (speci ated and unspeciated) in the NEI is accurate, and generally represents types and amounts of glycol ether emissions reported is accurate.

Prolonged inhalation ofmica may causepneumoconiosis. Symptoms may include a progressive dry cough, shortness of breath onexertion, decreased chest expansion, weakness and weight loss.Carcinogenicity :Contains formaldehyde, a potential cancer hazard. Rats exposed to formaldehydevia inhalation developed cancer of the nasal cavity. Evidencein humans is limited (nasal andnasopharyngeal cancer). Formaldehyde is listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, probable humancarcinogen (group 2a) by IARC, and a known human carcinogen by NTP. Overexposure cancause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation, and skin and respiratory sensitization. In alifetime inhalation study, exposure to 250 mg/m3 titanium dioxideresulted in the developmentof lung tumors in rats. These tumors occurred only at dust levelsthat overwhelmed the animals'lung clearance mechanisms and were different from common human lung tumors in both typeand location. The relevance of these findings to humans is unknown but questionable. Theinternational agency for research on cancer (IARC) has classified titanium dioxide as possiblycarcinogenic to humans (group 2b) based on inadequate evidence ofcarcinogenicity in humansand sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.Reproductive effects :No reproductive effects are anticipatedMutagenicity :No mutagenic effects are anticipatedTeratogenicity :No teratogenic effects are anticipatedECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (ANSI Section 12)No ecological testing has been done by akzo nobel paints llc on this product as a whole.DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS (ANSI Section 13)Waste disposal :Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations.

Empty containers may contain product residue, including flammable or expl osive vapors. Do not cut, puncture or weld on or near container. All label warnings must be observed until the container has been comme rcially cleaned or reconditioned. If the product is used near or above the flashpoint, an ignition hazard may be present. Activities, uses, or operations which liberate vapor (such as mixing or free fall of liquids) may also present an igni tion hazard. Please ensure c ontainers and other interconnected equipment are properly bonded and grounded at all times.



### 8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQ UIPMENT AND EXPOSURE CONTROLS

Personal Protective Equipment
Eye and face protection: Wear chemical goggles with splash shields or face shield . Contact lenses should not be worn when working with chemicals because contact lenses may contribute to the severity of an eye injury in case of exposure.

Skin protection: Appropriate chemical resistant gloves should be worn.

Other Personel Protection Data: To prevent skin contact wear protective clothing covering a ll exposed areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Respiratory protection: If exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator such as an air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge and dust/mist filt er. Consult the respirator manufacturer's literature to ensure that the respirator will provide adequate protection. Read and follow all resp irator manufacturer's instructions.

Ventilation Use only in well-ventilated areas. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ovens used for curing should contain a fresh air purge to prevent vapours from accumula ting and creating a possible expl osive mixture. Where the product is used in a hazardous classified area, use ex plosion-proof electrical/v entilating/lighting/equipment.

### 8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EXPOSURE CONTROLS

Personal Protective Equipment

Eye and face protection: Wear chemical goggles with splash shields or face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with chemicals because contact lenses may contribute to the severity of an eye injury in case of exposure.

Skin protection: Appropriate chemical resistant gloves should be worn.

Other Personel Protection Data: Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. To prevent skin contact wear protective clothing covering all exposed areas.

Respiratory protection: If exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits, use the appropriate NIOSH approved respirator such as an air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge and dust/mist filter. Consult the respirator manufacturer's literature to ensure that the respirator will provide adequate protection. Read and follow all respirator manufacturer's instructions.

Ventilation Use only in well-ventilated areas. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ovens used for curing should contain a fresh air purge to prevent vapours from accumulating and creating a possible explosive mixture.
