OPTIONAL POLLunON PREVENTION INFORMATION 

To claim information in this section as confidential circle or bracket the specific information that you claim as confidential. 

In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your 

efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding 

manufacturing, processing, use and disposal of the PMN substance. Please include new 

information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities 

and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance. Source reduction 

includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of chemical wastes by technological 

modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials 

substitution, and/or inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful chemical 

components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water 

discharges, or land disposal. Descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and 

recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with existing 

regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or qualitative. The EPA is interested in 

this information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and 

exposures, not the shifting of risks to other environmental media or non-environmental areas 

(e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). In addition, information on the relative cost or 

performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential alternatives may be provided. 

All information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review 

of this substance. See the revised Instructions Manual that includes a Pollution Prevention 

manual for guidance and examples. 

Describe the expected net benefits, such as (1) an overall reduction in risk to human health or the environment; a) a reduction in 

the volume manufactured; (3) a reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction or other 

means; (4) a reduction in potential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental release; (5) an increase in product 

performan~, a decrease in the cost of production and/or improved operation efficiency of the new chemical substance in 

comparison to existing chemical substances used in similar applications; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical substance 

may be a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overall risk to human health or the environm~t. 

Utilization of recovered alcohol stream reduces waste generation of alcohols.

Nature ofthe Hazard: 

Skin Contact: Low order of toxicity 

Eye Contact: Slightly irritating but does nol damage eye tissue 

Inhalation: Vapors and lor aerosols when present at elevated temperatures may be irritating 

to the throat and lungs, as well as the eyes and nose. Negligible hazard at 

ambient temperatures. 

Ingestion: Low order oftoxicity 

First Aid: 

Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. 

Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until the irritation subsides. Seek 

medical attention as soon as possible 

Inhalation: Using proper PPE, remove victim to fresh air, administer CPR ifbreathing has 

stopped. Seek medical attention as soon as possible. ' 

Ingestion: First Aid not required 

Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity: This product may contain up to 25% bis (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate 

(DEHP). DEHP has shown carcinogenic activity in rodents at high doses. DEHP has been evaluated by 

the International Agency for Research on Cancer (lARC) and found to be a possible hwnan carcinogen. 

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has found that this compound may reasonably be anticipated to 

be a human carcinogen. 

Toxicological Results: This product has not undergone toxicological testing but similar material has 

been test. The material was tested at high experimental dose levels using pregnant rats to identify 

possible effects to the developing fetus. AltllOugh there were no statistically significant findings in this 

study, a very small number of tlle fetuses from this study bad the uncommon findings ofeither small or 

absent eyes. These findings were reported to the U.S. EPA under the substantial risk reporting 

requirements ofTSCA section 8(e). These findings seen only at an experimental dose level that is 

hundreds or tllousands of times higher than potential human exposures, are of questionable relevance to 

human healtll assessment.

Section vn Protection and Control Measures 

Personal Protection 

Ventilation and Control Measures: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process 

emissions, especially when product is heated. Good general mechanical ventilation should be 

provided in process areas. In the absence of adequate mechanical controls, and in confined 

spaces, use appropriate respiratory protection. 

Protective Equipment: Wear protective gloves and clothing. Follow standard safe industrial 

practice. 

Section VITI Safe Handling. Storage. and Spill Control 

Handling and Storage: When handling, avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid contact \\lith eyes, skin 

and clothing. Use adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after contact. As standard practice, chemicals 

should be stored away from sources of heat. Containers should be periodically inspected for leakage. 

Ground containers when transferring material to avoid static charge buildup and possible incendiary 

discharge. 

Spill Control: For small spills, absorb the material with inert absorbent, bag and dispose in accordance 

with federal, state and local ordinances. For large spills, implement standard cleanup procedures. 

Prevent run-off to sewers, and bodies of water. If spill is in a public area, notifY authorities and keep 

public away. This material is subject to CERCLA reporting.
