... The review should include: 2.1 Synthetic methods and patent literature 2.2 Manufacturing approaches used worldwide for these materials 2.3 Manufacturing costs for different synthetic routes 2.4 Environmental and energy costs and trade-offs for alternative approaches 2.5 Any specific fixed-facility accident or transportation risks associated with alternative approaches 2.6 Regulatory outlook for the pesticides including their expected life time on the market 3. Examine the use and storage of MIC at the Bayer CropScience facility in Institute, West Virginia: 3.1 Identify possible approaches for eliminating or reducing the use of MIC in the Bayer carbamate pesticide manufacturing processes, through, for example, substitution of less hazardous intermediates, 155
