final retail product. The notifier expects 1 to 3 customers in the first year of import, rising to 4 or 5 customers by 1999. At formulation manufacturing workers are required to open drums of Priazul 2118 and connect them to formulation equipment. The formulation process is typically automated and within a fully enclosed system. Workers may experience direct skin contact if a spill occurs in the formulation or filling lines. Drum cleaning workers drums that have contained Priazul 2118. A drum cleaning worker would be required to wash approximately 5 drums for every tonne of Priazul 2118 imported. Retail workers unpack sealed containers containing Priazul 2118 formulations and pack containers on to shelves. Retail workers will only be exposed to the notified chemical through damaged and leaking containers. A typical formulation will contain Priazul 2118 at 5% (w/v). End users will usually be exposed to formulations containing the notified chemical for short periods of time. The duration and frequency of exposure for end users will vary between hairdressing and beauty salons. Typically, a hair care worker may shampoo up to 20 customers per day resulting in 20 separate exposure incidents should the shampoo contain the notified chemical. No occupational exposure data was provided concerning use of the notified chemical as a metal cleaning substance. 7. PUBLIC EXPOSURE Public exposure to the notified chemical is expected to be high. The primary use of Priazul 2118 will be in domestic hair care and bodywash formulations. The public may also be exposed to Priazul 2118 in hair and beauty salons. Exposure of this nature may once a day on external body surfaces. The formulation may also come into contact with the eyes. The secondary use of Priazul 2118 is in metal cleaning formulations for industrial and commercial applications. Public exposure to the notified chemical via the metal cleaning formulations is unlikely. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE Release During the formulation process, the notified chemical is lost to waste from the cleaning of equipment and lines, transport equipment and drums. The amount of Priazul 2118 lost to waste is expected to be minimal and overall waste generation is expected to be less than 2%. All waste containing Priazul 2118 generated during normal formulation, packaging and cleaning activities is expected to be disposed of to sewer in a diluted form, with or without pretreatment. Any spillages of the notified chemical that may occur will be contained by either sand, earth or other absorbent material. The high viscosity of the chemical at ambient conditions should
