- Release from the site to::
- surface water
- Release estimation method:
- estimated release factor
- Remarks:
- L4 is used in a diverse range of personal care products. It is therefore reasonable to take a standard worst case approach. Following the UK risk assessment for another siloxane (EA, 2009) used in personal care products, L5 is taken... (see attached file)

- ambient air
- Release estimation method:
- estimated release factor
- Remarks:
- The daily release to air from private use is considered to be a dispersed regional scale release.
