About
the
OECD
The
Organisation
for
Economic
Co­
operation
and
Development
(
OECD)
is
an
intergovernmental
organisation
in
which
representatives
of
30
industrialised
countries
in
North
America,
Europe
and
the
Pacific,
as
well
as
the
European
Commission,
meet
to
co­
ordinate
and
harmonise
policies,
discuss
issues
of
mutual
concern,
and
work
together
to
respond
to
international
problems.
Most
of
the
OECD's
work
is
carried
out
by
more
than
200
specialised
Committees
and
subsidiary
groups
composed
of
Member
country
delegates.
Observers
from
several
countries
with
special
status
at
the
OECD,
and
from
interested
international
organisations,
attend
many
of
the
OECD's
Workshops
and
other
meetings.
Committees
and
subsidiary
groups
are
served
by
the
OECD
Secretariat,
located
in
Paris,
France,
which
is
organised
into
Directorates
and
Divisions.

The
work
of
the
OECD
related
to
chemical
safety
is
carried
out
in
the
Environment,
Health
and
Safety
Programme.
As
part
of
its
work
on
chemical
testing,
the
OECD
has
issued
several
Council
Decisions
and
Recommendations
(
the
former
legally
binding
on
member
countries),
as
well
as
numerous
Guidance
Documents
and
technical
reports.
The
best
known
of
these
publications,
the
OECD
Test
Guidelines,
is
a
collection
of
methods
used
to
assess
the
hazards
of
chemicals
and
of
chemical
preparations.
These
methods
cover
tests
for
physical
and
chemical
properties,
effects
on
human
health
and
wildlife,
and
accumulation
and
degradation
in
the
environment.
The
OECD
Test
Guidelines
are
recognised
world­
wide
as
the
standard
reference
tool
for
chemical
testing.

the
Test
Guidelines)

Programme
co­
operates
closely
with
other
international
organisations.
This
document
was
produced
within
the
framework
of
the
Inter­
Organisation
Programme
for
the
Sound
Management
of
Chemicals
(
IOMC).

The
Inter­
Organization
Programme
for
the
Sound
Management
of
Chemicals
(
IOMC)
was
established
in
1995
by
UNEP,
ILO,
FAO,
WHO,
UNIDO
and
the
OECD
(
the
Participating
Organisations),
following
recommendations
made
by
the
1992
UN
Conference
on
Environment
and
Development
to
strengthen
co­
operation
and
increase
international
co­
ordination
in
the
field
of
chemical
safety.
UNITAR
joined
the
IOMC
in
1997
to
become
the
seventh
Participating
Organisation.
The
purpose
of
the
IOMC
is
to
promote
co­
ordination
of
the
policies
and
activities
pursued
by
the
Participating
Organisations,
jointly
or
separately,
to
achieve
the
sound
management
of
chemicals
in
relation
to
human
health
and
the
environment.

INTRODUCTION
Purpose
of
the
Exposure
Reporting
Formats
1.
This
document
contains
guidance
for
using
the
summary
exposure
information
reporting
formats,
which
were
developed
by
the
OECD
Ad
Hoc
Group
on
Reporting
Summary
Exposure
Information.

2.
The
objective
of
the
work
of
this
Ad
Hoc
Group
is
to
develop
flexible
formats
and
guidance
for
the
reporting
of
summary
exposure
information
(
quantitative
and
qualitative),
which
can
be
used
in
various
chemical
assessment
programs.

3.
The
purpose
for
developing
such
formats
and
guidance
is:

 
to
enhance
consistency
in
reporting
summary
exposure
information;

 
to
support
reporting
of
different
levels
of
information
(
e.
g.
Qualitative,
Screening
Level,
Comprehensive)
as
appropriate
to
the
purpose
of
the
report
and
the
data
available
to
the
submitter;

 
to
harmonize
definitions;

 
to
promote
transparency
of
reported
exposure
information;

 
to
provide
clarity
on
the
purpose
and
coverage
(
or
scope)
of
information
reported;
and,

 
to
provide
a
consistent
approach
for
describing
the
reliability
of
the
information.

Overview
of
the
Guidance
4.
The
abbreviated
guidance
provides
suggestions
on
the
type
of
information
that
may
be
included
in
each
section
of
the
draft
format.
Because
each
exposure
assessment
will
be
different
(
e.
g.,
tailored
to
the
specifics
of
the
chemical
and
relevant
exposure
scenarios
for
that
chemical),
the
guidance
is
very
general.
The
level
of
detail
that
is
appropriate
for
a
particular
submission,
and
for
different
sections
within
a
submission,
is
based
on
its
purpose
and
the
availability
of
information.
The
guidance
also
provides
suggestions
for
presenting
the
summary
exposure
information
in
a
manner
that
is
transparent
and
enables
the
reader
to
understand
how
the
analysis
was
conducted,
and
the
extent
to
which

Overview
of
the
Formats

The
pathways
that
lead
to
human
and
environmental
exposure
to
chemicals
may
vary
greatly
by
use
pattern
and
receptor
population
(

The
summary
exposure
reporting
formats
described
in
ENV/
JM/
MONO(
2003)
16
11
these
pages
are
intended
to
be
a
flexible
framework
for
reporting
summary
exposure
information
that
are
adaptable
to
this
wide
range
of
exposure
scenarios
as
well
as
to
different
levels
of
exposure
information.
Therefore,
these
formats
are
not
intended
to
be
prescriptive.
Rather,
they
provide
a
suggested
flow
of
information.
Three
basic
formats
are
provided
to
facilitate
reporting
of
summary
exposure
information
of
interest
to
industry,
governmental
organizations,
other
stakeholders,
and
the
public.
Format
A:
General
Information
and
Overview
of
Exposure
summarizes
information
such
as
the
organization
and
technical
contact
for
the
information
provided
in
the
formats,
the
identity
and
form
of
the
chemical,
its
overall
volumes,
uses
in
commerce,
and
background
to
help
in
framing
information
and
data
provided
in
associated
Formats
B
and
C.
Format
B:
Monitoring
Evaluations
summarizes
data
and
information
on
direct
measurements
of
chemical
exposure
for
specific
use
or
release
scenarios;
and
Format
C:
Modeling
Evaluations
summarizes
data
and
information
generated
by
using
mathematical
models
that
predict
exposure
to
a
chemical
for
specific
use
or
release
scenarios.
Chapter
2
of
this
document
presents
the
three
formats
and
Chapter
3
gives
more
in­
depth
guidance
on
how
to
complete
the
formats.
Each
format
contains
a
suggested
set
of
exposure­
related
sections
covering
different
types
of
information
that
could
be
reported.
Since
uses
and
exposures
vary
by
chemical
and
since
a
submitter's
purpose
and
available
information
may
vary,
the
content
of
each
relevant
section
of
the
exposure
reporting
formats
for
a
given
chemical
will
also
vary.
However
the
goal
is
that
a
completed
summary
report
will
be
sufficiently
complete
and
transparent
to
enable
readers
to
understand
the
summarized
exposures
without
providing
an
excess
of
information
that
is
not
needed.

6.
A
critical
aspect
in
reporting
exposure
information
is
to
provide
an
evaluation
of
the
reliability
of
that
information,
e.
g.
the
inherent
quality
of
the
exposure
monitoring
or
modeling
information,
and
the
methods
and
procedures
for
collecting
and
describing
the
information
to
be
able
to
give
evidence
of
the
clarity
and
plausibility
of
the
findings.
The
guidance
includes
an
approach
for
providing
a
"
Reliability
Score"
for
information
reported
in
both
Format
B:
Monitoring
and
Format
C:
Modeling.

7.
There
are
4
Annexes
included
in
this
document.
Annex
1
includes
a
format
that
can
be
used
when
summary
information
on
physical,
or
chemical
properties
are
to
be
reported.
Annex
2
provides
a
glossary
of
terminology.
Annex
3
provides
relevant
resources
for
emission
scenario
documents,
exposure
factor
references,
function/
product
use
descriptions,
some
available
models,
etc.
Annex
4
includes
a
listing
of
Industrial
Categories
and
Use
Categories.

How
to
Use
the
Formats
and
Guidance
8.
As
noted
above,
the
formats
are
designed
to
be
flexible
and
to
accommodate
both
quantitative
(
e.
g.,
release
rate,
exposure
result)
and
qualitative
information
(
e.
g.,
description
of
source
of
release,
description
of
control
measures),
to
cover
any
chemical
or
category
of
chemicals
from
various
sources,
and
could
contain
a
variety
of
exposure
scenarios
ranging
from
site­
specific
to
national
or
even
regional
summaries
(
See
figure
1­
1
for
various
sources
and
pathways).
As
a
submitter,
you
may
find
it
helpful
to
consult
with
individuals
who
collected
the
available
information,
occupational
hygienists,
engineers,
or
others
who
are
familiar
with
the
chemical
and
associated
exposures
and
releases.
The
formats
may
be
used
to
summarize
information
from
existing
exposure
assessment
reports,
and/
or
information
that
has
not
previously
been
analyzed
and
characterized
in
an
assessment.
You
will
need
to
determine
the
purpose,
scope,
and
level
of
detail
of
your
summary
and
complete
the
formats
accordingly.
For
example,
if
your
report
summarizes
only
those
exposures
associated
with
occupational
activities,
you
would
complete
sections
I
through
IV
of
the
Format
A
and
the
relevant
information
in
section
V
and
VI.
If
there
were
monitoring
or
modeling
information,
Formats
B
and
C
would
be
completed
as
appropriate.
Within
each
format,
you
will
need
to
determine
the
level
of
detail
appropriate
to
transparently
communicate
the
summarized
exposure
information.
Each
format
section
includes
hyperlinks
 
"
See
Guidance"
 
that
take
you
to
additional
detail
to
aide
you
in
completing
the
Format.
From
the
guidance,
a
"
BACK"
hyperlink
will
take
you
back
to
the
section
in
the
Format.
Helpful
Tips
are
included
at
the
beginning
of
each
Format
or
section
to
assist
you
in

the
format.

For
each
reported
chemical
or
category
of
chemicals,
a
Format
A:
General
Information
and
Overview
of
Exposure
format
will
need
to
be
completed,
since
it
contains
basic
information
about
the
chemical/
category
and
overall
perspective
on
potential
exposures.
Available
monitoring
or
modeling
data
can
be
summarized
in
Format
B:
Monitoring
Evaluations
and/
or
Format
C:
Modeling
Evaluations.
A
chemical
may
have
been
evaluated
in
one
or
more
monitoring
studies
intended
to
measure
human
exposures,
environmental
media
concentrations
or
for
some
other
purpose.
Likewise,
more
than
one
modeling
study
may
have
been
conducted.
Monitoring
Evaluations
and/
or
Modeling
Evaluations
formats
may
be
provided
for
any
activities
for
which
there
is
a
potential
for
human
or
ecological
exposure
(
e.
g.,
general
environmental
monitoring,
outdoor
air
exposures
to
children
in
the
communities
where
the
production
plant(
s)
are
located,
occupational
exposure
to
workers
involved
in
chemical
production,
etc.).
Therefore,
there
may
be
multiple
Monitoring
Evaluations
and
Modeling
Evaluations
formats
included
with
Format
A.
In
some
cases
it
may
not
be
possible
to
relate
the
measured
exposure
or
environmental
media
concentration
from
a
monitoring
study
to
a
particular
activity
(
i.
e.,
to
chemical
production
or
to
the
industrial,
commercial
or
consumer
product
uses
of
the
chemical).
However,
such
general
monitoring
data
may
still
be
useful
for
understanding
overall
exposures.
In
these
cases,
a
Monitoring
Evaluations
format
can
be
used
to
capture
the
information.

10.
From
a
practical
standpoint,
data
and
information
may
be
duplicated
across
the
formats
if
it
helps
improve
clarity,
while
in
other
cases
a
cross
reference
to
information
elsewhere
in
the
formats
may
be
used
to
prevent
unnecessary
duplication
of
data
and
information.

Other
Considerations
in
the
Context
of
Exposure
Reporting
11.
Proprietary
Information.
It
may
be
necessary
to
establish
mechanisms
to
share
exposure
information
in
a
way
that
successfully
addresses
potential
concerns
about
preserving
the
inherent
value
of
this
information.
In
some
cases,
detailed
information
relevant
to
assessments
may
be
considered
proprietary
such
that
information
providers
may
not
want
to
(
or
even
be
able
to)
share
it
with
competitors.
In
addition,
you
may
be
disinclined
to
share
exposure
data
because
of
its
value
for
potential
use
in
a
regulatory
context,
such
as
gaining
product
approvals
(
e.
g.,
compensation
for
toxicity
testing
data,
proprietary
processes).
The
Alliance
for
Chemical
Awareness
has
documented
a
variety
of
creative
data
sharing
mechanisms
that
can
help
in
meeting
the
goals
of
improved
transparency,
while
maintaining
protection
of
confidential
information,

html
12.
Communicating
with
the
Public.
Obviously,
the
manner
in
which
information
is
presented
to
the
public
can
be
expected
to
be
of
considerable
interest
and
potential
concern.
Providing
caveats
regarding
the
limitations
of
data
because
of
the
scope
and
nature
of
the
exposure
assessment
may
be
helpful
but
will
not
entirely
address
these
problems.
In
some
 
but
certainly
not
all
 
instances,
you
may
be
able
to
overcome
or
resolve
these
concerns.
In
most
cases,
you
will
have
to
assess
these
concerns
as
part
of
the
cost­
benefit
analysis
that
will
need
to
be
undertaken
in
order
to
make
a
decision
in
the
merits
of
providing
summary
exposure
information.
The
Alliance
for
Chemical
Awareness
has
also
developed
resources
for
such
communications,
which
can
be
found
at:

13.
Anti­
trust
implications.
Finally,
discussions
among
companies
choosing
to
collaboratively
prepare
exposure
reports
may
include
fairly
detailed
information
on
topics
such
as
chemical
products,
uses
and
production
volume.
Depending
upon
the
level
of
detail,
content
and
context
of
those
discussions,
you
may
wish
to
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
the
potential
for
anti­
trust
issues
and
whether
there
are
tools
or
techniques
to
avoid
potential
liability.

of
the
pure
chemical
and,
if
applicable,

If
a
category

it
is
appropriate
to
provide
the
physical
form
for
each
chemical
in
the
category.
This
information
is
important
because
the
physical
form
of
a
product
can
influence
the
potential
for
exposure.
For
example,
some
chemicals
can
be
distributed
in
different
particle
sizes,
which
would
impact
the
likelihood
of
inhalation
exposure.
Also,
in
the
case
of
product
mixtures,
other
ingredients
can
lower
the
boiling
point
of
the
component
being
assessed,
which
could
reduce
the
potential

field
is
for
a
brief
description
of
the
purpose
of
the
submission
(
e.
g.,
a

Coverage
BACK

This
field
is
for
characterizing
the
extent
to
which
the
summary
covers
the
range
of
potential
exposures
from
production,
processing,
use
and
disposal
and
what
geographic
range
is
addressed.
In
summarizing
and
reporting
exposure
information,
it
is
important
to
communicate
its
thoroughness
and
scope.
This
information
will
also
help
guide
the
reader
on
what
to
expect
and
guide
you
in
determining
which
sections
of
the
format
to
complete.
The
extent
of
coverage
provided
by
an
exposure
report
may
be
evaluated
by
asking
the
following
questions
relating
to
the
assessments
that
comprise
the
submission:

 
Do
the
exposure
studies
provide
a
current
total
chemical
volume,
the
assessed
chemical
volume,
and
how
both
of
these
volumes
are
broken
out
among
uses?
If
they
do
not,
do
the
summaries
provide
an
explanation
of
why
they
did
not
provide
this
information
 
Do
the
summaries
estimate
or
otherwise
address
the
range
of
exposure
scenarios
(
source/
pathway/
route/
population)
that
are
possible
(
at
least
theoretically)?
This
range
of
exposure
scenarios
includes
occupational
exposures,
consumer
product
exposures,
indirect
exposures
to
ENV/
JM/

humans
from
releases
to
the

If
one
or
more
of
the
scenarios
were
not
addressed,
does
the
summary
provide
an
explanation
of
why
it
was
not

be
applicable
to
four
life

steps
 
production,
formulation,
industrial/
professional
use,
and
private/
consumer
use
 
to
help
you
organize
activity

information.
Subsections

are
applicable
to
production,
formulation,
and
industrial
use;
subsections
8
through
11
are
applicable
to
private/

use.
Fill
out
sections
for
the
uses
that
pertain
to
the
chemical
of
interest
and/
or
the
purpose
of
the
summary.
For
example,
an
intermediate
may
be
used
only
as
a
building
block
to
make
another
chemical.
Therefore,
only
information
relating
to
its
production
and
final
use
as
an
intermediate
are
relevant.
The
section
for
private/
consumer
use
would
not
be
filled
out,
nor
would
there
be
any
discussion
of
formulation
or
professional
uses.
Also,
for
submissions
containing
quantitative
information
from
modeling
or
monitoring
data,
you
may
use
this
section
to
specifically
tie
in
studies
summarized
in
Format
B
or
Format
C
to
particular
uses
or
activities.
For
those

identify
and
explain
why
relevant

For
example,
although

the
precision
may
be
lacking
due
to
limits
of

Therefore,
the

The
monitoring
evaluation
format
is
to
be
used
to
provide
summary
information
from
monitoring
studies
for
the
chemical.
The
term
monitoring
covers
studies
in
which
data
are
the
result
of
measurements
of
the
chemical
in
environmental
media
(
e.
g.,
outdoor
air,
indoor
air,
surface
water,
soil,
etc.)
or
a
particular
exposure
scenario,
such
as
inhalation
or
dermal
exposure
monitoring.
It
also
includes
biomonitoring
data.
The
fields
are
flexible
to
be
able
to
include
monitoring
in
any
type
of
medium,
including
simple
environmental
matrices
such
as
air
and
water,
or
complex
biological
matrices
like
blood,
urine
or
tissue.
When
estimates
of
environmental
releases
or
exposures
are
based
on
a
monitoring
study,
the
monitoring
evaluations
format
maybe
used
to
describe
the
data
from
that
study.

Summarize
the
results

The
numerical
results
and
units
should
be
provided

characterized
(
e.

time­
weighted
averages,
representative/
typical

grab
sample,
daily
average
concentration,
etc.)

70.
Unless
you
have
very
few
data
for
a
particular
exposure
scenario,
it
is
likely
that
you
will
need
to
use
some
form
of
statistics
to
summarise
them.
It
is
suggested
that
the
median
and
percentiles
such
as
the
90th
and
95th
be
used
as
measures
of
location,
confidence
intervals
around
these
be
used
to
indicate
their
uncertainty.
These
statistics
are
nonparametric,
i.
e.,
they
do
not
rely
on
any
assumptions
about
whether
data
are
normal,
lognormal
or
are
from
any
other
skewed
distribution
and
are
appropriate
for
all
data
sets.
More
conventional
statistics
(
means,
geometric
means,
standard
deviations,
geometric
standard
deviations
etc)
are
inappropriate
unless
the
assumptions
about
a
distribution
can
be
tested.
Remember
though,
it
can
take
a
large
number
of
data
points
(
specific
references)
to
test
that
your
data
fits
a
particular
distribution
at
a
reasonable
level
of
confidence.
The
use
of
inappropriate
statistics
can
lead
to
incorrect
conclusions
being
drawn
about
exposures.
So,
whatever
statistics
are
selected,
it
would
be
helpful
to
provide
a
brief
rationale
for
your
choice.
Some
helpful
literature
on
summary
statistics
are
included
in
the
Annex
3
references.

71.
Where
there
is
a
need
to
provide
integrated
data,
for
example
if
there
is
a
desire
to
predict
exposed
dose,
then
the
supporting
equations
should
be
given
and
reference
made
to
the
sources
of
input
parameters
(
see
Annex
3).
There
are
a
variety
of
equations
and
methods
that
may
be
used
for
providing
estimates
of
exposure,
such
as
an
equation
for
estimating
ppm
x
hours
of
exposure
or
selection
of
an
estimate
of
peak
exposure
concentration
over
a
specified
time
interval.
In
exposure
assessment
equations
for
providing
estimates
of
dose
and
intake
such
as
average
daily
dose
(
ADD),
lifetime
average
daily
doses
(
LADD),
average
daily
intake,
etc.,
are
also
used.
The
data
provided
by
the
monitoring
study
is
one
of
the
inputs.
Other
inputs
could
include
parameters
such
as
breathing
rate,
duration
of
exposure,
body
weight,
skin
surface
area
in
contact
with
a
contaminant,
etc.,
and
these
parameters
would
depend
upon
the
equation
used.
For
information
on
the
definitions
and
equations
for
these
and
other
estimates
of
exposure,
dose
and
intake,
Annex
3
may
be
a
valuable
resource.
If
biological
monitoring
data
are
being
used
to
reconstruct
a
dose,
summarize
how
this
was
done
and
what
assumptions
were
made.

72.
Also
describe
here
any
relevant
characteristics
of
the
exposed
population
that
is
being
assessed
(
e.
g.
size
of
the
assessed
population,
age
of
the
assessed
population,
location
of
the
assessed
population
if
that
is
relevant,).
Remember
that
when
exposure
is
characterized
as
being
average,
conservative,
etc.,
that
characterization
applies
to
a
specific
population
and
to
the
type
of
exposure
being
estimated
(
i.
e.
acute
or
chronic
exposure).

73.
If
data
from
two
or
more
differently
exposed
populations
are
combined,
this
should
be
indicated
and
a
rationale
provided.

Describe
the
type
of
medium

modeled
(
e.
g.,
soil,
clothing
or
patches
of
cloth)
and
how
the
medium
can
affect
the
potential
for
exposure
(
e.
g.
transport
through
soil.)
Models
can,
and
have
been,
developed
to
include
specifics
on
the
type
of
medium
or
matrix
in
which
the
chemical
of
interest
is
contained.
Various
media
can
include:
air,
water,
soil,
clothing
or
patches
of
cloth,
work
surfaces,
specific
solid
materials,
blood,
tissue,
and
many
others.
You
may
also
wish
to
include
how
the
medium
can
affect
the
potential
for
exposure
to
the
chemical
of
interest
(
e.
g.
transport
through
soil,
diffusion

liquid,
leaching
from
a

The
values
of
key
input
parameters
should
be
provided.
If
the
model's
default
values
have
been
changed,
a
reason
should
be
provided.
Many
models
use
certain
assumptions,
which
can
appear
as
default
values
in
specific
equations.
Other
models
do
not
use
defaults
but
require
the
user
to
supply
all
of
the
inputs.
In
this
field,
list
the
key
input
values
and
units,
and
list
any
changes
to
the
defaults.
Also
provide
here
your
rationale
for
changing
default
values
(
e.
g.
direct
measurements
of
habits
and
practices
for
the
situation
of
interest).
Some
of
the
key
inputs
that
are
often
encountered
when
performing
a
modeling
study
are:
sources
(
e.
g.
release
rates
into
the
environment,
the
days
of
release,
receiving
stream
flows,
house
volumes
and
air
exchange
rates,
etc.);
approximate
percentage
of
aggregate
product
volume
that
goes
into
a
specific
product
or
use;
physical
form
of
the
chemical;
likely
route
of
exposure;
amount
of
product
used
per
application,
and
the
concentration
of
the
chemical
being
studied;
known
or
recommended
dilution
ratios
for
use;
disposal
routes;
and
others,
depending
on
the
model.
You
may
choose
to
use
certain
inputs
in
the
areas
described
above,
or
may
elect
to
use
the
model's
default
values.

Listed
below
are
statements
that
you
may
wish
to
include

various
inputs
used
in
a

if
that
is

for
characterizing
the

and
providing
a

Take
care
to

that:
appropriate
units
are
provided,
dimensions
are
correct,
conversion
factors
are
used
correctly,
non­

are
correctly
expressed,
and
the
number
of

given
are
correct.
When
summarizing
the
results
of
the
model
estimation
of
environmental
media
concentration,
use
this
field
to
describe
any
equations
used
to
estimate
exposures
(
or
intake,
or
dose)
and
the
values
and
sources
of
the
inputs
to
the
equation.
The
numerical
results,
including
the
units,
should
be
provided
and
characterized
(
e.
g.
average,
conservative,
etc.),
along
with
the
basis
for
the
characterization
(
e.

the
inputs
are
intended
to
provide
an
estimate
of
average
(
acute

There
are
various
equations
and
methods
that
may
be
used
for
providing
estimates
of
exposure,
such
as
an
equation
for
estimating
ppm
x
hours
of
exposure
or
selection
of
an
estimate
of
peak
exposure
concentration
over
a
specified
time
interval.
In
exposure
assessment
it
is
also
common
to
use
equations
for
providing
estimates
of
dose
and
intake
such
as
average
daily
dose
(
ADD),
lifetime
average
daily
doses
(
LADD),
average
daily
intake,
etc.
The
output
provided
by
the
model
for
an
environmental
media
concentration
may
be
an
input
to
another
model.
Other
inputs
could
include
parameters
such
as
breathing
rate,
duration
of
exposure,
body
weight,
skin
surface
area
in
contact
with
a
contaminant,
etc.,
and
these
parameters
would
depend
upon
the
equation
used.

etc.

2.
Chemical
industry:
basic
chemicals
There
are
two
different
ICs
for
chemical
industry,
the
industry
where
substances
are
produced
through
chemical
reactions.
The
raw
materials
for
chemical
industry
come
from
petrochemical
industry
(
IC
9
`
Mineral
oil
and

industry'),
from
plant
or
animal
materials,
or
coal.
IC
2
is
dedicated
to
basic
chemicals,
which
are
substances
used
generally
throughout
all
branches
of
chemical
industry
and
usually
in
considerable
amounts.
Important
basic
chemicals
are
solvents
(
UC
48)
and
pH­
regulating
agents
(
UC
40)
(
acids,
alkalis).

3.
Chemical
industry:
chemicals
used
in
synthesis
Chemicals
used
in
synthesis
are
substances
either
regulating
the
chemical
reaction
process
(
e.
g.
catalysts)
or
being
used
as
an
intermediate
(
i.
e.
chemicals
that
are
formed
and
can
be
isolated
at
an
intermediate
step
between
starting
material
and
the
final
product
in
a
sequence
of
chemical
processes).

4.

like
resistors,
transistors,
capacitors,
diodes,
lamps,
etc.
and
the
production
of
televisions,
radios,
computers
(
PC's
as
well
as
mainframes),
radar
installations,
complete
telephone
exchanges,
etc.
In
the
manufacturing
processes
constituent
processes
may
take
place.
The
main
constituent
processes
are
electroplating,
polymer
processing,
and
paint
application.

kitchenware,
gardens,
etc.,
and
personal
care
(
hygiene,
make­
up,
etc.)
is
covered.
Chemicals
used
in
this
IC
in
many
cases
will
be
present
in
formulations,
e.
g.
in
cleaners
(
soaps,
detergents,
washing
powders,
etc.),
cosmetics,
and
products
for
the
care
of
