Current Regulations
Benzene in Gasoline Regulations (SOR/97-493)
The objective of the Regulations is to reduce emissions of benzene from gasoline powered vehicles through controls on gasoline composition. The Regulations set limits for the amount of benzene in gasoline and for the benzene emissions number, a calculated parameter that relates gasoline composition to predicted emissions of benzene from vehicles. Manufacturers, blenders and importers of gasoline may opt for limits based on either a batch or on a yearly pool average. The Regulations also prohibit the sale of gasoline with a concentration of more than 1.5% benzene by volume.
