MEMORANDUM 

DATE: October 22, 2010 

SUBJECT: Review of Glycol Ether Emissions 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 Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to assess the risk remaining (residual 

risk) after the application of maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards under 

section 112(d). EPA is to promulgate more stringent standards for a category or subcategory of 

sources subject to MACT standards under section 112(d) if promulgation 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 making residual risk decisions, EPA plans to address 

residual risk and perform a technology review simultaneously for multiple source categories. 

The first part of this approach is to compile and review (and update with facility-specific data 

collected by EPA in some cases) readily available source category emissions data from the 

National Emissions Inventory (NEI), 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 NEI by facilities in the wood furniture manufacturing operations 

source category. Glycol ethers are a class of compounds that contains multiple individual 

pollutants, some are hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and some are not. 

The advance notice of proposed rulemaking for the wood furniture manufacturing operations 

source category identified 644 facilities, based on Version 4 of the 2002 NEI. However, after 

input from the industry trade associations, the number of major facilities in the source category 

was revised to 406. Of the 406 facilities, a total 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 (see Table 3). These reported glycol ether emissions represent a 

total of 137 tons per year of glycol ethers. 

1 
 To better understand the general types and amounts of glycol ethers used in wood furniture 

coatings, a speciation profile was developed based on speciated glycol ether emissions data 

reported by 26 facilities in the NEI. We found that a total of 11 different 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-propyl 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 furniture coatings; therefore, 

emissions of glycol ethers are not reported in the NEI for each individual 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 contain glycol ethers (see Attachment 1.) Glycol 

ethers are commonly used as a solvent substitute in water-borne coatings. The desired coating 

property determines whether a wood furniture facility selects a coating containing glycol ethers, 

or a coating formulated with a more traditional 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 coatings are selected based on desired property, we believe the number 

of facilities that reported glycol ethers (speciated and unspeciated) in the NEI is accurate, and 

generally represents types and amounts of glycol ether emissions reported is accurate.

Eye Contact:

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact

lenses. If medical assistance is not immediately available, flush an additional 15 minutes. Get medical attention

immediately.

Skin Contact:

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical

attention, if symptoms develop or persist.

Ingestion:

Rinse mouth with water. Give one or two glasses of water. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of medical personnel.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower

than hips to prevent aspiration. Get medical attention immediately.

Inhalation:

Move injured person into fresh air and keep person calm under observation. Get medical attention immediately. For

breathing difficulties, oxygen may be necessary. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Place unconscious

person on the side in the recovery position and ensure breathing.

Medical conditions aggravated by exposure:

Any respiratory or skin condition.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. - No smoking. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store above

120 degrees F. (49 degrees C). Based on flash point and vapor pressure, suitable storage should be provided in

accordance with OSHA regulation 1910.106, Ontario OH&S regulation 851 section 22. Empty containers may contain

product residue, including flammable or explosive vapors. Do not cut, puncture or weld on or near container. All label

warnings must be observed until the container has been commercially 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 ignition hazard. Please ensure containers and other interconnected

equipment are properly bonded and grounded at all times.

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:

To prevent skin contact wear protective clothing covering all 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 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. Where the

product is used in a hazardous classified area, use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment.

Although some of the fillers used in this product may have exposure guidelines, no exposure would be 

expected under normal handling conditions because of the physical state of the material. 

Personal Protection

Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses. 

Skin Protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific 

items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Remove 

contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before 

reuse or dispose of properly. Items which cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, belts and 

watchbands, should be removed and disposed of properly. 

Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of preferred 

glove barrier materials include: Chlorinated polyethylene. Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber 

("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol 

("PVA"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural 

rubber ("latex"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific 

glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into 

account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may 

be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), 

potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided 

by the glove supplier. 

Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed 

the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements 

or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or 

discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For 

emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. The 

following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge. 

Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands 

before smoking or eating. 

Engineering Controls

Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels 

below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit 

requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust 

ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

containers or in approved self-closing containers designed to prevent spontaneous combustion until disposed of in

compliance with applicable regulations. Oxidizing Material

Extinguishing media:

Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam and/or water fog.

Fire fighting procedures:

Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn out gear. Keep containers and

surroundings cool with water spray.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Action to be taken if material is released or spilled:

Ventilate the area. Avoid breathing dust or vapor. Use self-containing breathing apparatus or airmask for large spills in a

confined area. Wipe, scrape or soak up in an inert material and put in a container for disposal. See section 7, "Handling

and Storage", for proper container and storage procedures. Remove all sources of ignition. Soak up with inert absorbent

material. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid contact with eyes.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. - No smoking. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store above

120 degrees F. (49 degrees C). Based on flash point and vapor pressure, suitable storage should be provided in

accordance with OSHA regulation 1910.106, Ontario OH&S regulation 851 section 22. Empty containers may contain

product residue, including flammable or explosive vapors. Do not cut, puncture or weld on or near container. All label

warnings must be observed until the container has been commercially 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 ignition hazard. Please ensure containers and other interconnected

equipment are properly bonded and grounded at all times.

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:

To prevent skin contact wear protective clothing covering all 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 filter. Consult the respirator manufacturer's literature to

ensure that the respirator will provide adequate protection. Read and follow all respirator manufacturer's instructions.

Product ID: TAC7009
