## p . 12 OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATIO N 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 sec ti on wi ll be taken into consideration during the review of this substance . See the revised Instructions Manual that includes a Po ll ution Prevention manual for guidance and examples . Describe the expected net benefits, such as ( 1) an overall reduction in risk to hum an health or the environment ; (2Y a reduction in the volume manufactured ; (3) a reduction in the genera tion 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 inc r ea s e in product performance, a de cre

ase in the cost of production and/or improved operation efficiency of the new chemical subst an ce in comparison to e xisting chemical substances used in similar app li cations ; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical subst ance may be a substitute for an e xi sting subst ance that poses a greater overa ll risk to human health or the environment . [ _ will be 10-20% more effi cient t han the current generation of leading to reduced energy use .
