Part D: The impacts of potential new OELs for the five chemical agents (and STELs for Be and formaldehyde and skin notation for MOCA) The purpose of the questions in this section is to assist the consultants in identifying key impact categories. Any issues identified in this manner will be subject to a detailed assessment during the remainder of the study. You may be contacted for a more detailed discussion of the impacts that you have identified as significant. When differentiating between significant and moderate impacts, please consider the proportion of the relevant stakeholders that would be affected, the magnitude of the expected impacts and their duration. For example, an increase in cost affecting most companies in a significant way over the long-term is a negative impact.’ ‘significant Cadmium and its inorganic compounds See for a non-exhaustive list (examples) of the relevant cadmium compounds.
