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 tion 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 hum an health or the environment; (2Ya 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 inc rease in product performance, 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 app lications; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical subst ance may be a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overa ll risk to human health or the environment.

[ _ will be 10-20% more

efficient than the current generation of leading to reduced

energy use .

and include it in the notice Identify the property measured, the page of the notice on which the property appears, the value

of the property, the units in which the property is measured (as necessary), and whether or not the property is claimed as confidential. The physical state of the neat substance should be provided. These measured properties should be for the neat (100g,

pure) chemical substance. Properties that are measured for mixtures or formulations should be so noted (% PMN substance in _).You are not required to submit this worksheet; however, EPA strongly recommends that you do so, as it will simplify review and ensure
