HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment Transport and warehouse workers will only come in contact with the notified polymer (at concentrations of ≤ 50%) in an event of accidental leakage or spill.
The notified polymer will not be manufactured or reformulated in Australia. Therefore, release of the notified polymer from these activities is not expected. The notified polymer will be imported as an additive in diesel fuel. Environmental release of diesel fuel containing the notified polymer from spills is expected during refilling of the diesel fuel. Spills during refilling of the diesel fuel to underground storage tanks from isotainers and to car fuel tanks at fuel bowsers are expected to be insignificant (< 1% of the total import volume). These spills are expected to be contained in on-site interceptor drains at service stations to trap and filter the diesel fuel containing the notified polymer. Hence, the notified polymer will be prevented from entering the sewer via rainwater runoff. Empty import containers containing residues of the notified polymer are expected to be recycled by accredited waste management companies or disposed of according to local regulations. Residues of diesel fuel containing the notified polymer in isotainers are expected to be reused during transporting the diesel fuel. Most of the notified polymer will be consumed during engine operation to form water and oxides of carbon and nitrogen. No significant release of the notified polymer to aquatic systems is expected when it is used as diesel fuel additive. The notified polymer contains side-chains that may hydrolyse under severe conditions but due to its limited water solubility, the notified polymer is expected to be stable under normal environmental conditions. Based on its high molecular weight and limited water solubility, the notified polymer is not expected to be bioavailable nor bioaccumulative. Therefore, based on its assumed low hazard and assessed use pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment.

The toner will be imported in sealed cartridges at concentrations of <20% and the developer imported in 1L plastic bottles at <5% concentration. No manufacture, reformulation or repackaging will occur in Australia. Used cartridges and empty bottles may be recycled. HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT The notified polymer meets the PLC criteria and can therefore be considered to be of low hazard. A suspension of the notified polymer was found to be non-mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation study carried out using the preincubation method (OECD TG 471). Although not considered in this risk assessment, NICNAS notes that the notified polymer contains a residual monomer that is classified as hazardous according to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), as adopted for industrial chemicals in Australia. This is not present in the notified polymer as introduced above the cut off concentration for classification. The risk of the notified polymer to occupational and public health is not considered to be unreasonable given the assumed low hazard and the assessed use pattern.
SUMMARY The following details will be published in the NICNAS Chemical Gazette: ASSESSMENT REFERENCE APPLICANT(S) CHEMICAL OR TRADE NAME HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE INTRODUCTION VOLUME USE PLC/1282 Woolworths Ltd and Diversified Brands Australia Pty Ltd Polymer in Interior/Exterior Paint No ≤ 60 tonnes per annum Component of paint CONCLUSIONS AND REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS Human Health Risk Assessment Based on the assumed low hazard and the assessed use pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the health of workers and the public. Environmental Risk Assessment Based on the assumed low hazard and the assessed use pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment. Health and Safety Recommendations In the interest of occupational health and safety, the following precautions should be observed during spray application of paints containing the notified polymer: Use adequate general ventilation Avoid inhalation exposure Use respiratory protection if inhalation exposure may occur. Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian, Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards. A copy of the (M)SDS should be easily accessible to employees. Spray applications should be carried out in accordance with the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice for Spray Painting and Powder Coating (Safe Work Australia, 2015) or relevant State or Territory Code of Practice. If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to health in accordance with the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), as adopted for industrial chemicals in Australia, workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation should be in operation. Disposal Where reuse or recycling are not appropriate, dispose of the notified polymer in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with relevant Commonwealth, state, territory and local government legislation.
The notified polymer will be imported as a component of printer ink in ready-to-use sealed containers for commercial printing. The sealed containers are designed to prevent release of contents during transport, installation and removal. In the event of a spill, the notified polymer is expected to be contained and collected with an inert absorbent material and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. The ink will be used on printing articles and the notified polymer, bound within the dried ink matrix, will share the fate of the article. It is anticipated that approximately half of these articles will be disposed of to landfill and the remainder will be recycled at the end of their useful lifetime. During the recycling process, waste paper will be repulped using a variety of alkaline dispersing and wetting agents, water emulsifiable organic solvents and bleaches. Aqueous wastes containing these agents are expected to be sent to sewage treatment plants (STPs) for processing. In sewage treatment plants, most of the notified polymer is expected to partition to sludge and sediments as it has high molecular weight. Therefore, the notified polymer is not expected to be released at ecotoxicologically relevant concentrations. Due to its high molecular weight, the notified polymer is not expected to readily cross biological membranes and, therefore, bioaccumulation is not expected. The proportion of the notified polymer that is adsorbed to STP sludge will be disposed of to landfill or may be used for soil remediation, where it is expected to slowly degrade to form water and oxides of carbon. Therefore, based on its assumed low hazard, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment.
