A low to moderate concern for human health hazard

What is the environmental concern rating associated with the substance?

A low concern for environmental hazard

What is the health or environmental concern based on?

Analog data

Physical/chemical properties

What is the fate, persistence, bioaccumulation concerns for this substance? (View more information on the category for persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic new chemical substances)

Fate:
- The substance is estimated to indicate low potential to volatilize into the air or migrate into ground water and that the substance would be effectively removed should it be released into wastewater

Persistence:
- is very persistent

Bioaccumulation:
- low bioaccumulation potential

What is the potential exposure concern to the substance?

The exposure to a new chemical substance is potentially relevant to whether a new chemical substance is likely to present unreasonable risks because the significance of the risk is dependent upon both the hazard (or toxicity) of the chemical substance and the extent of exposure to the substance. EPA estimates/measures the substance to have a:
- low potential for exposure to humans

Who is the potentially targeted subpopulation for exposure?

The potentially exposed subpopulation may include:
- Workers

Is this substance addressed by a Significant New Use Rule (SNUR)?

Uses:

Intended use(s):
- Paint (generic)

Known and reasonably foreseen use(s):
- Paint and coatings
