ANNEX
RESIDENTIAL INDOOR AIR QUALITY GUIDELINE
MOULDS
Physical and chemical properties
The word "mould" is a common term referring to fungi that can grow on building materials in homes or other buildings. Mould growth can influence air quality because both spores and mycelial fragments are dispersed into the air and can be inhaled. Their penetration into the bronchial tree depends on their size. The smaller particles penetrate deeper into the lungs.
Three features of mould biochemistry are of special interest in terms of human health:
- Mould cell walls contain (1->3)-ß-D-glucan, a compound with inflammatory properties;
- Mould spores and mycelial fragments contain allergens; and
- The spores of some species contain low molecular weight chemicals that are cytotoxic or have other toxic properties (e.g. satratoxins and atranones produced by Stachybotrys chartarum).
Causes of mould growth
Mould growth in a house requires the presence of nutrients, an adequate temperature, and a sufficient amount of water. The first two requirements being usually met in indoor environments, fungal growth usually results from a moisture problem (CMHC 2003). Major causes of mould growth are
- excess humidity resulting in condensation on surfaces;
- water leakage, e.g. from a broken pipe;
- infiltration of water from the outside, e.g. from a leaking roof or a cracked basement; and
- a flood.
Health effects
Health Canada has carried out two reviews of the scientific literature pertaining to the health effects of indoor moulds (Health Canada 1995; 2004). The Institut national de santé publique du Québec also published a review on this subject (d'Halewyn et al. 2003). The following conclusions were drawn:
- Exposure to indoor mould is associated with an increased prevalence of asthma-related symptoms such as chronic wheezing, irritative, and non-specific symptoms; and
- In laboratory animal studies, instillation of fungal antigens (Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp.) and fungal cell components [(1->3)-ß-D-glucan] resulted in an inflammatory response in the lungs of rodents, while instillation of Stachbotrys chartarum spores resulted in severe biochemical and ultrastructural changes.
These conclusions have been supported by more recent findings. In two cohort studies (Wickman et al. 2003; Jaakkola et al. 2005), significant associations were found between home dampness and the risk of developing asthma. In experimental studies, asthma-like responses were observed in mice following exposure to a typical building-associated fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum (Chung et al. 2005), and inflammatory responses were seen in rats exposed to low doses of toxins from the same species (Rand et al. 2005).
Residential Indoor Air Quality Guideline
Health Canada considers that mould growth in residential buildings may pose a health hazard. Health risks depend on exposure and, for asthma symptoms, on allergic sensitization. Therefore, Health Canada recommends
- to control humidity and diligently repair any water damage in residences to prevent mould growth; and
- to clean thoroughly any mould growing in residential buildings.
These recommendations apply regardless of the mould species found to be growing in the building.
Further, results from tests for the presence of fungi in air cannot be used to assess risks to the health of building occupants.

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment
Interim Marketing Authorization
Provision currently exists in Table XI, Part IV, to section B.16.100 of the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherols as preservatives in the production of various food products at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.
Health Canada has received submissions to permit the use of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherols as antioxidants in infant formulas and in the oils used as ingredients in infant formulas. The individual maximum level of use for each of these food additives is 1 mg/100 mL in formulas ready to consume, and at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice in the oils used as ingredients in infant formulas. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of the use ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherols as antioxidants in infant formulas and in the oils used as ingredients in infant formulas.
The use of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherols in the applications indicated above will benefit both the consumer and industry by preventing oxidation of nutrients, improving quality of the products and providing longer shelf life of the products.
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherols as antioxidants in infant formulas and the oils used as ingredients in infant formulas, at the maximum levels of use specified above.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorizations (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of the ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherols, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

Interim Marketing Authorization
A provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (calcium disodium EDTA) or disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (disodium EDTA) as a sequestering agent in a variety of standardized foods, including the following canned products: ripe Lima beans, pinto beans, fava beans, red kidney beans, chick peas (garbanzo beans) and black-eyed peas.
Health Canada has received submissions to increase the maximum level of use of calcium disodium EDTA from 130 p.p.m. to 365 p.p.m. and the maximum level of use of disodium EDTA from 150 p.p.m. to 165 p.p.m. in various standardized canned products where already permitted and to extend their use to other standardized products with the exception of canned green beans, canned wax beans and canned peas. These specific standardized products that must comply with standards B.11.002 and/or B.11.040 and/or B.11.041 are as follows: Adzuki beans, baked beans (brown beans), black beans (black turtle beans), black-eyed peas, dried (green) peas, fava beans (including extra large fava beans), flageolet beans, garbanzo beans (chick peas), golden beans, Great Northern beans, Italian beans, lentils, Lima beans (butter beans) [including small and large], Lupinis, marrow beans, mixed beans (including three-bean blend, six-bean blend, curry chick pea salad, fava and chick pea mix, Mexican salad, mixed bean salad), mung beans, navy beans (white pea beans), pigeon peas, pink beans, pinto beans, red kidney beans (including light red and dark red), Romano beans, small red beans (Mexican red beans), Swedish brown beans, white kidney beans, and yellow-eye peas.
Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of the increased maximum levels of use of calcium disodium EDTA and disodium EDTA in these standardized canned products.
The use of calcium disodium EDTA and disodium EDTA in the applications indicated above will benefit consumers through the availability of the quality canned products named above with improved shelf life, stability and appearance. This use will also benefit the industry by facilitating the manufacture of these canned products.
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of calcium disodium EDTA to a maximum level of 365 p.p.m. or disodium EDTA to a maximum level of 165 p.p.m. as a sequestering agent in the standardized canned products listed above.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of calcium disodium EDTA and disodium EDTA, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.
