Publication of Results of Investigations and Recommendations for a Substance — Di-n-Octyl Phthalate (Subsections 68(b) and (c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)
Whereas a summary of a follow-up report to the assessment of Di-n-Octyl Phthalate, a substance originally specified on the first Priority Substances List, is annexed hereby,
Notice therefore is hereby given that the Ministers of the Environment and of Health propose to take no further action in respect of Di-n-Octyl Phthalate.
DAVID ANDERSON
Minister of the Environment
ANNE MCLELLAN
Minister of Health
Annex
Summary of the Follow-up Report to the
Assessment of the Substance Di-n-Octyl Phthalate
Di-n-octyl phthalate is used as a plasticizer to impart flexibility to polymers, particularly polyvinyl chloride used to make products such as gloves, flooring and flexible sheets. This substance is not produced in Canada. It is estimated that approximately 1 tonne of di-n-octyl phthalate is used annually in Canada.
Di-n-octyl phthalate was included on the first Priority Substances List (PSL1) under the 1988 Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA 1988) for assessment of potential risks to the environment and human health. As outlined in the Assessment Report released in 1993, relevant data identified before August 1992 were considered insufficient to conclude whether di-n-octyl phthalate was "toxic" to human health as defined in paragraph 11(c) of CEPA 1988.
Critical data relevant to both estimation of exposure of the general population in Canada and assessment of effects were identified following release of the PSL1 assessment and prior to December 2000. Based on this information, the margin of exposure between bounding estimates of intake for the general public and the Lowest-Observed-Effect Level in an adequate study is considered sufficient to protect human health.
Based on available data, it is concluded that di-n-octyl phthalate is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that may constitute a danger to human life or health. Therefore, di-n-octyl phthalate is not considered to be "toxic" to human health as defined in paragraph 64(c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
Based upon current use patterns, investigation of options to reduce exposure is not considered to be a priority at this time. Uses and emissions of this compound should continue to be monitored to ensure that exposure does not increase to any significant extent, and additional data should be considered upon development of more sensitive testing strategies for assessing endocrine disrupting effects, for which phthalates are likely early candidates.
The full Follow-up Report may be obtained from Environment Canada's Web site (http://www.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/psap/ PSL1_di_n_octyl_phthalate.cfm) or from the Inquiry Centre, Environment Canada, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3 (1-800-668-6767).

Publication of Results of Investigations and Recommendations for a Substance — Non-pesticidal Organotin Compounds (Subsections 68(b) and (c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)
Whereas a summary of a follow-up report to the assessment of Non-pesticidal Organotin Compounds, a substance previously specified on the Priority Substances List, is annexed hereby,
Notice therefore is hereby given that the Ministers of the Environment and of Health propose to take no further action in respect of Non-pesticidal Organotin Compounds.
DAVID ANDERSON
Minister of the Environment
ANNE MCLELLAN
Minister of Health
Annex
Summary of the Follow-up Report to the Assessment of the
Substance Non-pesticidal Organotin Compounds
Non-pesticidal organotin compounds are not manufactured in Canada. They are imported, however, mainly for use as poly (vinyl chloride) [PVC] stabilizers and as industrial catalysts. Canadian producers of methyltin heat stabilizers have not been identified; however, since 1995, approximately 400 tonnes of butyltin and octyltin heat stabilizers have been produced domestically each year. During that period, total annual imports of organotins (excluding tributyltin oxide) ranged from 400 to 1 200 tonnes.
Non-pesticidal organotin compounds were included on the first Priority Substances List (PSL1) under the 1988 Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA 1988) for assessment of potential risks to the environment and human health. As outlined in the Assessment Report for these compounds, released in 1993, relevant data identified before June 1992 were considered insufficient to conclude whether non-pesticidal organotin compounds were "toxic" to human health as defined in paragraph 11(c) of CEPA 1988.
Critical data relevant to both estimation of exposure of the general population in Canada and assessment of effects were identified following release of the PSL1 assessment and prior to December 2000. Based on consideration of this information, the margins of exposure between bounding estimates of exposure of the general public and the Lowest-Observed-Effect Levels in adequate studies are considered sufficient to protect human health.
Based on available data, it is concluded that non-pesticidal organotin compounds are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that may constitute a danger to human life or health. Therefore, non-pesticidal organotin compounds are not considered to be "toxic" to human health as defined in paragraph 64(c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).
Based upon current use patterns, therefore, investigation of options to reduce exposure in relation to paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999 is not considered to be a priority at this time. Future uses of these compounds should continue to be monitored to ensure that exposure does not increase to any significant extent, and relevant data should be considered upon development of more sensitive testing strategies for endocrine disrupting effects.
The full Follow-up Report may be obtained from Environment Canada's Web site (http://www.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/psap/ PSL1_organotins.cfm) or from the Inquiry Centre, Environment Canada, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3 (1-800-668-6767).

Publication of Results of Investigations and Recommendations for a Substance — Styrene (Subsections 68(b) and (c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)
Whereas a summary of a follow-up report to the assessment of Styrene, a substance originally specified on the first Priority Substances List, is annexed hereby,
Notice is hereby given that the Ministers of the Environment and of Health propose to take no further action in respect of Styrene.
DAVID ANDERSON
Minister of the Environment
ANNE MCLELLAN
Minister of Health
Annex
Summary of the Follow-up Report to the
Assessment of the Substance Styrene
Styrene, which appeared on the first Priority Substances List (PSL1), was assessed to determine whether it should be considered "toxic" under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). It was concluded that styrene was not "toxic" under paragraphs 11(b) or 11(c) of CEPA. However, there was insufficient information to conclude whether it constituted a danger to the environment under paragraph 11(a). Information was lacking about the potential effects of styrene on aquatic organisms, on terrestrial vegetation through atmospheric exposure, and on wildlife through media other than air.
Since 1994, additional toxicity tests have been carried out on aquatic organisms. The results of these tests indicate that aquatic organisms are unlikely to be adversely affected by the concentrations of styrene found in Canadian surface waters. No information is available about the effects of styrene on wildlife. Based on toxicity studies conducted on laboratory animals, it is unlikely that wildlife would be adversely affected by the concentrations of styrene reported in food organisms or water in Canada. No information was identified about the potential effects of styrene on plants exposed through the atmosphere. Based on toxicity information available for several PSL1 substances that are structurally similar to styrene, it is concluded that terrestrial plants are unlikely to be adversely affected by the concentrations of styrene in air reported in Canada.
Based on the information available, it is concluded that styrene is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity. Therefore, styrene is not considered to be "toxic" as defined in paragraph 64(a) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
The full Follow-up Report may be obtained from Environment Canada's Web site (http://www.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/psap/ PSL1_styrene.cfm) or from the Inquiry Centre, Environment Canada, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3 (1-800-668-6767).

Publication of Results of Investigations and Recommendations for a Substance — 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane (Subsections 68(b) and (c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)
Whereas summaries of Health Canada follow-up report and Environment Canada follow-up report to the assessment of 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane, a substance originally specified on the first Priority Substances List, are annexed hereby,
Notice therefore is hereby given that the Ministers of the Environment and of Health propose to take no further action in respect of 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane.
DAVID ANDERSON
Minister of the Environment
ANNE MCLELLAN
Minister of Health
Annex
Summary of the Follow-up Report to the Human Health
Assessment of the Substance 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane
1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane is not produced in nor imported into Canada, although it is released to the Canadian environment primarily in emissions to ambient air during production of other chemicals and from waste disposal sites. It also enters the Canadian environment as a result of long-range atmospheric transport from other countries. Information concerning the presence of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane in products imported into Canada has not been identified.
1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane was included on the first Priority Substances List (PSL1) under the 1988 Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA 1988) for assessment of potential risks to the environment and human health. As outlined in the Assessment Report released in 1993, relevant data identified before September 1992 were considered insufficient to conclude whether 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was "toxic" to human health as defined in paragraph 11(c) under CEPA 1988.
Additional monitoring data were identified during the period following the release of the PSL1 Assessment Report (prior to December 2000), and estimates of exposure were accordingly updated. Additional critical toxicological data in experimental species or humans relevant to assessment of the human health risks for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane have not been identified, although an important 13-week study conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) is nearing completion. The available data provide some evidence that 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane may be carcinogenic in humans, although information is inadequate as a basis for classification in Group II ("probably carcinogenic to humans"). Based on the limited available information, the margin of exposure between concentrations in the principal media of exposure (ambient and indoor air) for the general public and observed effect levels is considered sufficient to protect human health.
Based on available data, it is concluded, that 1,1,2,2- tetrachloroethane is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that may constitute a danger to human life or health. Therefore, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane is not considered to be "toxic" to human health as defined in paragraph 64(c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
It is recommended that uses and emissions of this compound continue to be monitored to ensure that exposure does not increase to any significant extent and that the potential impact, if any, on the outcome of this assessment be considered when the final report of the NTP subchronic study is available.
The full Follow-up Report may be obtained from Environment Canada's Web site (http://www.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/psap/ PSL1_1_1_2_2_tetrachloroethane.cfm) or from the Inquiry Centre, Environment Canada, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3 (1-800-668-6767).
Summary of the Follow-up Report to the Environmental Assessment of the Substance 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane
1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane, which appeared on the first Priority Substances List (PSL1), was assessed to determine whether it should be considered "toxic" under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). It was concluded that 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was not "toxic" under paragraph 11(b) of CEPA. However, there was insufficient information to conclude whether 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane constituted a danger to the environment under paragraph 11(a). Information was lacking about the potential effects of the substance on terrestrial biota.
No information is available concerning the effects of 1,1,2,2-
tetrachloroethane on wildlife. Based on currently available toxicity studies
conducted on laboratory animals, it is unlikely that wildlife would be
adversely affected by the concentrations of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane
reported in the Canadian environment. No information was identified on
the potential effects of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane on plants exposed through
the atmosphere. Based on toxicity information available for several PSL1
substances that are structurally similar to 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane,
it is concluded that terrestrial plants are unlikely to be adversely affected
by the concentrations of the substance reported in the Canadian atmosphere.
Based on the information currently available, it is concluded that 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity. Therefore, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane is not considered to be "toxic" as defined in paragraph 64(a) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.
The results of the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) study will be evaluated when they become available, as they could affect the assessment of potential effects of 1,1,2,2- tetrachloroethane on wildlife.
The full Follow-up Report may be obtained from Environment Canada's Web site (http://www.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/psap/ PSL1_1_1_2_2_tetrachloroethane.cfm) or from the Inquiry Centre, Environment Canada, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3 (1-800-668-6767).
