METALS AND ARTICLES <br /> <br />General guidelines: An article is a manufactured item that may contain reportable hazardous <br />substances, but does not release them during the manufacturing process. Materials contained in <br />articles are not reportable except to the extent that they are released during manufacturing. The <br />Toxics Board has defmed the term "article" as follows: <br /> <br />"a solid manufactured item which remains solid throughout the manufacturing <br />process, the unit size of which weighs more than 1 gram (O.0022 pounds), that <br />is used by a facility in whole or in part without undergoing any chemical <br />changes in manufacturing of a product or a portion of a product, and that <br />does not release a reportable hazardous substance under normal conditions <br />of the processing of that item at the facility." <br /> <br />In the case of articles made of metal, the Board has determined that fumes, dusts, and grindings <br />generated during the manufacturing process are reportable, and that the remainder of the article <br />(whatever remains unchanged after processing) is not reportable. In such cases, it will some- <br />times be necessary to calculate outputs first, and then use the total outputs as the input amount. <br /> <br />F-l <br />
