- Propylene oxide is
used globally as an intermediate to produce numerous products. Polyether
polyols account for 60-70% of the global propylene oxide production,
propylene glycol 20%, and propylene glycol ethers account for a further
5%. The polyether polyols are primarily used in the production of
polyurethane foams
-
Propylene oxide is
used as an herbicide or fumigant for dried fruits, cocoa, spices,
processed nutmeats, and other dry foods
-
Products containing the
active ingredient Propylene oxide are eligible
for reregistration with Environment Protection Agencies (EPA) provided
that the risk mitigation measures outlined in this document are adopted
and label amendments are made to reflect these measures -
EPA is requiring that all
vacuum sealed pressurized chambers used in Propylene oxide fumigation be
equipped with emission reduction technology, that a buffer zone of 180
feet be maintained around fumigation facilities that are not
vacuum-sealed pressurized chambers, and that an 8-hour time weighted
average concentration limit of 2 parts per million for occupational
exposure be satisfied. |
