MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994

Notice with respect to temporary possession of migratory birds

In order to conduct a survey about avian viruses, the Canadian Minister of the Environment has issued a notice under the authority of section 36 of the Migratory Birds Regulations to vary the application of paragraph 6(b) of the Migratory Bird Regulations to allow for the temporary possession of found-dead migratory birds. A person is permitted to temporarily possess dead migratory birds to allow for “swift delivery” of such birds to provincial or territorial authorities for analysis. In all other circumstances, a prohibition against possessing the carcass of a migratory bird remains in effect. This notice comes into force for a period of one year from August 28, 2013. The Government of Canada is responsible, under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, for ensuring that populations of migratory birds are maintained, protected and conserved.

The Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre coordinates Canada’s Interagency Wild Bird Influenza Survey. Information on where to submit found-dead migratory birds is available by viewing the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre Web site at www.ccwhc.ca/contact_us.php?language=en or by telephoning 1-800-567-2033. Guidance on precautions for the handling of wild birds is available from the Public Health Agency of Canada on its Web site at www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/influenza/fs-hwb-fr-mos-eng.php.

ANNEX

GUIDANCE FOR BENZENE IN RESIDENTIAL INDOOR AIR

Background

Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) with a relatively high vapour pressure, moderate-to-high water solubility, and low octanol/water partition coefficient that is released primarily to air. It has been identified by Health Canada as a priority indoor air contaminant through consultations with provincial and territorial health departments, as well as with key stakeholders in industrial and environmental organizations.

Exposure

Exposure of the general Canadian population to benzene is attributed predominantly to indoor air by inhalation because indoor levels generally exceed those outside, and time spent indoors is typically greater than time spent outdoors. Other routes of exposure (ingestion and dermal absorption) contribute minimally to total benzene intake (Health Canada, 2009). In studies by Health Canada, the median concentrations of benzene measured in Canadian residences range from 0.5 to 2.2 µg/m3 (Health Canada, 2012; Health Canada, 2010a; Health Canada, 2010b; Héroux et al., 2008). Indoor levels are approximately threefold higher in homes with attached garages compared to those in homes with detached garages, or no garages. Median outdoor concentrations are usually less than 1 µg/m3. The ratio of indoor/outdoor levels (I/O) ranges from 1.5 to 2.4 (median) and remains above 1 at the 25th percentile, suggesting a significant contribution of indoor sources in almost all homes.

More than half of Canadian single-family homes have an attached garage. Attached garages, when present, are the major indoor source of benzene in homes because vehicle exhaust and evaporative emissions from gas-powered equipment and stored solvents in garages can enter a home (Héroux et al., 2010; Héroux et al., 2008; Jia, Batterman and Godwin, 2008; Batterman, Jia and Hatzivasilis, 2007). Smoking is also a significant contributor to indoor benzene levels (Héroux et al., 2010; Héroux et al., 2008).

The known sources could not account for all benzene measured in studies and there may be other unidentified sources in homes. Some non-smoking homes without attached garages may have indoor benzene levels similar to those in homes with attached garages. While benzene has been detected in building materials, emission rates have generally been low (<4 µg m-2 h-1) with few exceptions (e.g. adhesives and caulking) [Choi et al., 2010; Won et al., 2005; Yu and Crump, 1998; U.S. EPA, 1992; Wallace, Pellizzari and Leaderer, 1987]. Few household or consumer products have reported benzene content (Kwon et al., 2008; Kwon et al., 2007; Sack et al., 1992; U.S. EPA, 1992; Wallace, Pellizzari and Leaderer, 1987) and, in the majority of studies, benzene was not associated with household products or activities (Missia et al., 2010; Héroux et al., 2008; Jia, Batterman and Godwin, 2008; Jia, D’Souza and Batterman, 2008; Park and Ikeda, 2006; Brown, 2002; Ilgen et al., 2001; Kim, Harrad and Harrison, 2001). Therefore, a more systematic approach to identifying other sources of benzene indoors is warranted.

Another potential indoor source of benzene would be vapour intrusion if the groundwater or soil underlying the house is contaminated. In addition, if benzene is present in the domestic water supply, volatilization from water during bathing or showering, or while water is running from faucets may occur. The Health Canada drinking water guideline has been developed to account for all exposure pathways (ingestion, inhalation, dermal absorption); thus, if a water supply complies with the drinking water guideline regarding benzene content, the health risk of such exposure would be negligible.

Health effects

Human exposure to benzene has been linked to dizziness, tremors, nausea, vomiting, headache, and drowsiness after minutes of exposure to high levels in the range of 700 to 3 000 ppm (2 240 to 9 600 mg/m3). Effects after subchronic to chronic exposures as low as <1 ppm (<3.2 mg/m3) include progressive deterioration in hematopoietic function, including bone marrow damage, changes in circulating blood cells and altered immune response (ATSDR, 2007).

Benzene is classified as a carcinogen (U.S. EPA, 1998; Environment Canada and Health and Welfare Canada, 1993; IARC, 1987). Benzene affects the blood-forming system at low levels of occupational exposure ≤1 ppm (3.2 mg/m3), and there is no evidence of a threshold. Chronic exposure to benzene has been shown to cause leukemia, a cancer of the blood or bone marrow, in occupationally exposed workers; and leukemia and lymphomas in laboratory rats and mice (Health Canada, 2009; OEHHA, 2001; Hayes et al., 1997; Rinsky, Young and Smith, 1981). The carcinogenic mode of action for benzene is not well understood; however, a series of important biological events progressing from metabolism to development of leukemia has been proposed (Meek and Klaunig, 2010).

Health Canada and other organizations have characterized the cancer risk associated with exposure to benzene in air (Health Canada, 1996; OEHHA, 2001; U.S. EPA, 2000). All of these values can be expressed as an increased risk of leukemia over a lifetime. The basis for these values is epidemiological studies of occupationally exposed individuals. The derivation of any reference value requires careful consideration of many factors and the adoption of several assumptions. Differences in these key inputs are reflected in the range of published toxicological reference values for benzene. However, considering the uncertainties identified with extrapolation of risks associated with exposures at occupational levels to lower, environmentally relevant concentrations, the shape of the dose-response curve and the mode of action of benzene-associated leukemia, these reference concentration values are within a similar band of uncertainty.

From the cancer risk analyses by Health Canada (1996), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA, 2000) and the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA, 2001), the concentrations associated with a 1 × 10-6 (one in one million) risk of leukemia range from 0.06 µg/m3 (the most justifiable unit risk identified by the OEHHA [2001]) to 0.45 µg/m3 (the upper bound of the range presented by U.S. EPA [2000]). Guidance on benzene levels indoors has been developed by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2010) and the European Commission (2005). Both of these organizations suggest that benzene levels indoors should be minimized as much as possible, but neither organization has developed a numerical guideline value for benzene levels indoors.

The real cancer risk from benzene in most Canadian homes, while not always negligible, is uncertain. Environmental levels are at least three orders of magnitude lower (in µg/m3 range) than the occupational exposure levels in the key studies (in mg/m3 range), and conservative assumptions were used when extrapolating from the risks based on high exposures. However, the uncertainty associated with the estimation of cancer risk at environmental exposure levels may be reduced when a clear mode of action of benzene toxicity in humans is established and applied to better estimate the dose-response relationship at low exposures.

Guidance

The range of estimates of carcinogenic risks of benzene indicates that there may be a low but non-negligible risk at indoor exposure levels. On this basis, from a practical perspective, Health Canada has opted to use a qualitative approach, recommending that individuals take actions to reduce exposure to benzene indoors as much as possible. Measures to control known indoor sources may reduce benzene concentrations such that the risk to residents is very low. As further sources are identified and effective control measures developed, Health Canada will incorporate additional recommendations on reducing benzene levels in its communications to health and building professionals and the public.

While all indoor sources of benzene in Canadian homes could not be characterized, addressing the strongest predictors identified is likely to have the most significant impact on indoor levels. Exposure reduction strategies should be targeted towards the primary sources of benzene indoors over which homeowners have control, namely attached garages and indoor smoking. Indoor benzene levels may be minimized by

  • Preventing leaks from an attached garage to the house;
  • Making sure that there is an appropriate seal between the home and the garage, particularly for any door that connects the two. This can be achieved by providing an appropriate air barrier and a sealed door between the garage and house and drywalling shared walls between the garage and house. These actions will also reduce the air exchange between the home and the garage;
  • Installing an exhaust fan in an attached garage;
  • Not idling vehicles in an attached garage;
  • Not starting gas-powered equipment in an attached garage; and
  • Not smoking inside the home or the garage.

Where possible, removing solvents and gas-powered equipment, tools or engines from attached garages, since most small engines do not have emission controls on evaporative releases, may also be considered.

While there is some evidence (CMHC, 2004; Ilgen et al., 2001) to support a reduction in indoor benzene levels originating from attached garages following these exposure reduction strategies, further research is required to understand which mitigation measures are the most technically feasible and cost-effective at reducing the migration of benzene from attached garages indoors. As well, research is needed into the predictors of elevated benzene in homes with detached garages or without garages.
