Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Talc (Mg3H2(SiO3)4) has no affinity to be in air . The direct emissions to soil , surface water and sediment are significant, therefore Talc (Mg3H2(SiO3)4) will be almost exclusively be found in soil , sediment and surface water.
Executive summary:

Mackay fugacity modelling (level 3) indicates that, taking into account degradation and using inflow parameters which are consistent with the known production tonnage of this substance in, fugacity coefficient indicates that environmental concentrations in water are predicted to be 2.4e-034 (atm), in air (atm) 1.46e-032 and soil 9.45e-036 (atm) and sediment to be  2.98e-034 (atm).

These are negligible low levels. This can be considered a worse case prediction as it assumes all product is emitted with no emission control systems used.
