These p-chem properties are novel to

Testing methods typically used for these parameters (e.g., ready 

biodegradation test, porous pot, etc.) may or may not apply. 

EAB recommends that the submitter evaluate the current OPPT guidelines 

for fate testing and then submit fate testing protocols based on their specific knowledge 

o the EAB’s fate experts for their review prior to the actual testing. 

General Population and Environmental Exposure 

A qualitative evaluation of the releases estimated by CEB indicates that 

uman 

inhalation, ingestion and dermal exposure may result from the water, landfill, incineration and 

fugitive releases. 

t is recommended that the submitter work with EPA engineers, fate experts 

and exposure assessors for this PMN chemical. 

Specific data needs from the submitter are summarized below: 

Identify all releases and their media of release. 

Questions for incineration releases: Provide information to CEB engineer on: What type of 

control technology is used for the incineration releases? What is its removal efficiency for the 

PMN substance? Are there any monitoring data available that demonstrate this efficiency? 

Provide data. Information to be provided to the EAB assessor: Are there any monitoring data 

available downwind of the incineration releases? Provide data. 

Questions for air (fugitive releases) provide information to CEB engineer on: What type of 

control technology is used for the fugitive releases? What is its removal efficiency for the PMN

substance? Are there any monitoring data available that demonstrate this efficiency? Provide 

data. Information to be provided to the EAB assessor: Are there any monitoring data available 

downwind of the fugitive releases? Provide data. 

Questions for water releases: If the facility the PMN substance is being release from is a direct 

discharger, is the waste water discharged directly into the stream or into a on-site treatment 

plant? If it is discharged into an on-site treatment plant, what is the treatment method, how much 

of the PMN substance is removed during treatment, where is the stream located, and are there 

any monitoring data to determine the amount released? Provide data. 

If the waste water is being released into a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), how does 

the PMN substance behave during the various treatment steps typical of POTWs (e.g., 

flocculation, activated sludge, filtration, etc.)? How much of the PMN chemical is removed 

during treatment? What is the mechanism of removal (e.g., adsorption into the sludge, 

biodegradation, volatilation, etc.)? What test methodologies were used to determine the answer 

to the above questions? Also, where is the POTW located? Provide data. 

Questions for landfill releases: What type of landfill will the PMN substance be placed in? 

What is the potential for migration of the PMN substance to the ground water? What testing data 

are available to support the migration potential of the PMN substance? Provide data.
