OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE The notified polymer is shipped in bulk liquid tank containers in approximately 20 tonne parcels or in chemical parcel tankers approximately in 150 to 400 tonne lots. In Australia the notified polymer will be supplied to approximately 25 locations for storage and warehousing prior to distribution for blending motor oils. Distribution of additive packages containing the polymer will be by road and rail. The notified polymer has been used in several European countries for approximately 12 months. Two blenders, two laboratory technicians and a number of storemen and transport personnel will be exposed to the notified polymer, at the Melbourne blending plant. Those handling additive packages containing ADX 221 at major oil blending installations will also be exposed to the notified polymer. If leaks or spills occur exposure to the notified polymer is possible as part of the following activities: . decanting or transfer from bulk iso tanks to storage vessels or blending kettles; and . transfer from blend kettles to bulk road tankers or drums. PUBLIC EXPOSURE There is negligible potential for public exposure to ADX 221 during blending operations, which will be performed in bunded areas. Any spilled material is to be disposed of by incineration or landfill. However, members of the public who undertake own vehicle maintenance may become dermally exposed to the notified polymer when using and/or disposing of oils containing ADX 221, or handling engine components. A moderate level of exposure may be anticipated in persons who perform frequent maintenance tasks.
