1. The concluding statement of the draft risk profile for short-chained chlorinated paraffins gives two options for the final conclusion:

1) Based on the available evidence, it is concluded that short-chained chlorinated paraffins are likely, as a result of their long-range environmental transport, to lead to significant adverse environmental and human health effects, such that global action is warranted; or

2) Based on available information, there is inadequate evidence to support the conclusion that short-chained chlorinated paraffins are likely, as a result of their long-range environmental transport, to lead to significant adverse environmental and human health effects, such that global action is warranted.
