The Existing Substances Division represents the Department's expertise for
ecological risk assessment of existing substances. Within Environment Canada,
the Divison leads the Departmental program for assessing priority
substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999
(CEPA 1999) as well as other initiatives under CEPA 1999.
These include categorization and screening of the Domestic
Substances List (DSL) as well as Section 75, which
involves exchanging information and reviewing decisions from other jurisdictions
on specifically prohibited or substantially restricted substances. The
Division is also involved in other federal, intergovernmental and international
assessment initiatives including the Toxic
Substances Management Policy (TSMP), and the chemicals program of the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
