Volatility in asset values and liability costs related to our pension plans may reduce our profitability and adversely impact current funding levels.
Our operations are subject to operating hazards and unforeseen interruptions for which we may not be adequately insured.
New regulations concerning the transportation of hazardous chemicals and the security of chemical manufacturing facilities could result in higher operating costs.
We are subject to many environmental and safety regulations that may result in significant unanticipated costs or liabilities or cause interruptions in our operations.

We are unable to predict the impact of the recent downturn in the credit markets and the resulting costs or constraints in obtaining financing on our business and financial results.
Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness
