This information includes toxicity (human and environmental) data, environmental fate data, human exposure data, use data, and emission data. Some of this data needs to be submitted to the EPA by May 28th while the rest of the data will need to be in EPA's hands by June 23. To be able to collect all this data and get it into a form so that EPA can use it, I will need significant help from all of you. Specifically, I will need the following information: Purchase/lmport history of C-8 in the US (Rurak, McCord) Sales History o f dispersions In the US (McCord) Fate of C-8 in dispersions (Cavanaugh) Quantity of C-8 in dispersions (Cavanaugh) Fate of C-8 in finishes products (D'Haenens) Emissions history at V\AN by media including 1999 data (Zipfel) C-8 destruction and recycle rate at WW (Zipfel) Further reduction plans at WW (Zipfel) C-8 Air monitoring data (Playtis, Vermeulen) Blood sampling data analysis (Playtis, Vermeulen) Blood data from other DuPont sites, as available (Kennedy, Mileti) Soil/sedlment absorption study report (Berti) Bioconcentration factor and Bioaccumulation factor modeling/tests (Gannon) (Include Zonyl FS-62 tests/modeling fo r my information only], WW emission data reported to state/EPA (Ritchey) Groundwater information reported to EPA and state (Hartten) Gerry Kennedy w ill be collecting the toxicity information that the EPA is requesting, I will be contacting each of you either individually or in small groups to gather this data. Roger, Tony, Bob, I will plan to travel to WW during the week of May 22 to discuss the information that I need from you. Best Regards, Rob EID156203
