through inappropriate disposal of waste oil. The notified polymer is expected to be associated with the sediment compartment where it is unlikely to be bioavailable. The notified polymer is not expected to cross biological membranes due to its high molecular weight and it is therefore not expected to bioaccumulate. Therefore, based on its assumed low hazard and assessed pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an unreasonable risk to the environment.
