ANNEX

Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Aromatic Amines

Pursuant to section 68 or 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of 16 aromatic amines. These substances constitute the Aromatic Amines subgroup of the Aromatic Azo and Benzidine-based Substance Grouping being assessed as part of the Substance Groupings Initiative of Canada's Chemicals Management Plan based on similar chemical structures and application. Substances in this grouping were identified as priorities for action, as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA 1999 and/or were considered as priorities based on other human health concerns. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN), (see footnote 3) Domestic Substances List (DSL) names and common names of the 16 substances in the Aromatic Amines subgroup are presented in the following table.

The 16 aromatic amines are industrial chemicals primarily used as chemical intermediates in the synthesis of pigments, dyes, pesticides, drugs and rubber products, as well as in laboratory chemicals. No manufacturing activity of any of the 16 aromatic amines in Canada was reported above the 100 kg/year threshold, according to recent surveys under section 71 of CEPA 1999. Seven of the aromatic amines have been reported as being imported into Canada above the 100 kg/year survey reporting threshold. An additional two aromatic amines were reported as being imported into Canada, but they were below the 100 kg/year reporting threshold. Other sources of exposure to certain aromatic amines include cigarette smoke.

Environment

The 16 aromatic amines are soluble in water. In terms of potential releases to water, sediment and soil, given the physical and chemical properties of these substances, aromatic amines will bind to dissolved organic matter, particulate matter and sediment over time; however, water is considered the primary route of exposure.

Available experimental and modelled data regarding the abiotic and biotic degradation of the 16 aromatic amines indicate that these substances are persistent in water, sediment and soil. Information on the log octanol–water partition coefficients and fish bioconcentration factors indicates that these substances are not likely to bioconcentrate or bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.

There is a wide range of acute and chronic aquatic toxicity data for the aromatic amines (median effective concentrations [EC50] or median lethal concentrations [LC50]: 0.0004–418 mg/L). The toxicity of substituted aniline compounds is dependent on their mode of action, the type of substituents (chloro-, methyl-, etc.), the number of substituents (mono-, di-, etc.) and their position (ortho-, meta-, para-). Aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia) were more sensitive than other organisms to aromatic amines. Limited toxicity data were available for terrestrial and sediment-dwelling organisms.

Aquatic exposure scenarios were developed to represent the potential major environmental releases due to industrial and consumer activities involving the aromatic amines. Predicted environmental concentrations were calculated for the aquatic environment for these substances released from tire manufacturing, tire wear, cosmetics formulation and consumer use of cosmetics. The probability that the predicted environmental concentration of aromatic amines would exceed the substances' predicted no-effect concentration was low (~5% or less) for all four scenarios, meaning little harm is expected to be caused to aquatic organisms as a result of these industrial and consumer activities.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft Screening Assessment, there is a low risk of harm to organisms and the broader integrity of the environment from aromatic amines. It is proposed to conclude that the 16 aromatic amines in this assessment do not meet the criteria set out in paragraph 64(a) or 64(b) of CEPA 1999, as they are 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 or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.

Human health

This human health assessment focuses on substances that are reported above the reporting threshold of 100 kg/year in the recent surveys conducted under section 71 of CEPA 1999 or for which available information indicates potential exposure of the general population of Canada. Potential exposure of the general population of Canada was characterized for nine substances: 2-naphthylamine, o-toluidine, 2,4-diaminotoluene, 4-chloroaniline, 3,4-dichloroaniline, o-anisidine, p-aminophenol, 1,3-diaminobenzene and Red Lake C Amine. Exposure of the general population of Canada to one or more of the nine aromatic amines from the use of certain consumer products, such as cooking utensils, textiles and cosmetics, was estimated. No robust Canadian data on concentrations of these nine aromatic amines in environmental media were identified, and, with the exception of p-aminophenol, section 71 data indicate low volumes of use of these nine aromatic amines in Canada. Therefore, exposure to the aromatic amines from environmental media is generally considered to be low. Exposure was not expected for the remaining seven aromatic amines in this subgroup; this includes those not reported under section 71 and those with no other information identified to support exposure data.

Carcinogenicity and/or genotoxicity were considered to be the health effects of concern for six of the nine aromatic amines for which exposure was characterized. 2-Naphthylamine, o-toluidine, 2,4-diaminotoluene, 4-chloroaniline and o-anisidine are classified as known or possible human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Group 1 or 2B) and the European Union (Category 1A or 1B). In addition, carcinogenicity was considered a potential health effect of concern of 3,4-dichloroaniline based on health effects of the related substance, 4-chloroaniline. Carcinogenicity and genotoxicity were not identified as the endpoints of concern for p-aminophenol, 1,3-diaminobenzene or Red Lake C Amine; therefore, critical non-cancer health effect levels were selected for risk characterization.

Four substances (2-naphthylamine, 2,4-diaminotoluene, 4-chloroaniline and o-anisidine) were detected in some imported textile and leather products in a study conducted by Health Canada in 2012. Margins between critical effect levels and estimates of exposure of the general population from dermal contact with textiles as well as mouthing of textiles by infants are considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

Available information indicates that residual o-toluidine, 2,4-diaminotoluene, o-anisidine, 4-chloroaniline and 1,3-diaminobenzene may migrate to foods being prepared with polyamide cooking utensils. Margins between critical effect levels and the estimated daily oral exposure from use of polyamide cooking utensils are considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

Exposure to p-aminophenol, 1,3-diaminobenzene, 4-chloroaniline and Red Lake C Amine was identified from the use of certain cosmetic products. The margins between exposure estimates and critical effect levels for each of these substances were considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

o-Toluidine was identified at low levels in breast milk from a small sample of Canadian women. The margin between the critical effect level and the estimated daily intake of o-toluidine for nonformula-fed infants via breast milk is considered adequate and does not indicate a concern at these low levels of exposure.

For the remaining seven aromatic amines (2,4-diaminoanisole, 2-chloroaniline, p-toluidine, p-toluidine hydrochloride, 4-nitroaniline, p-phenetidine and 1,3-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride), based on available information, exposure to the general population of Canada is not expected. Therefore, the risk to human health from these substances is considered to be low.

Based on the available information presented in this draft Screening Assessment, it is proposed to conclude that the 16 aromatic amines evaluated in this assessment are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

It is therefore proposed to conclude that the above-mentioned 16 substances do not meet the criteria set out in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999.

Proposed conclusion

It is proposed to conclude that the 16 aromatic amines in this draft Screening Assessment do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

Consideration for follow-up

In Canada, 14 of the 16 aromatic amines are considered to have high human health hazard potential (2-naphthylamine, o-toluidine, 2,4-diaminotoluene, 4-chloroaniline, o-anisidine, 2,4-diaminoanisole, 3,4-dichloroaniline, 2-chloroaniline, p-toluidine, p-toluidine hydrochloride, p-aminophenol, 1,3-diaminobenzene, 1,3-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride and p-phenetidine). Exposure of the general population to these substances is not of concern at current levels of exposure. However, there may be health concerns if uses resulting in human exposure in any subpopulation were to increase.

To ensure consistency across the Aromatic Azo and Benzidine-based Substance Grouping, options on how best to monitor changes in the use profile of these substances will be investigated when the assessments for all of the substances in this grouping are completed.

The draft Screening Assessment is available on the Government of Canada's Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).

ANNEX

Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Azo Basic Dyes

Pursuant to section 68 or 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of 33 azo basic dyes. These substances constitute the Azo Basic Dyes subgroup of the Aromatic Azo and Benzidine-based Substance Grouping being assessed as part of the Substance Groupings Initiative of the Government of Canada's Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) based on similar chemical structures and applications. Substances in this grouping were identified as priorities for action, as they met categorization criteria under subsec-tion 73(1) of CEPA 1999 and/or were considered as priorities based on other human health concerns.

An assessment to determine whether one basic dye (NDTHPM) met one or more criteria under section 64 of CEPA 1999 was previously conducted under the Challenge initiative of the CMP. It was concluded that NDTHPM did not meet the criteria under section 64 of CEPA 1999. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number, (see footnote 4) Domestic Substances List names and Colour Index or generic names (if applicable) of the 33 azo basic dyes are presented in the following table.

Abbreviations: CAS RN, Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number; N/A, not applicable.

For the purposes of this draft Screening Assessment, the 33 substances considered are collectively referred to as “azo basic dyes.”

The 33 azo basic dyes are not expected to occur naturally in the environment. No manufacturing activity of any of the 33 azo basic dyes in Canada was reported above the 100 kg/year threshold, according to recent surveys under section 71 of CEPA 1999. Six substances have been reported as being imported into Canada above the 100 kg/year survey reporting threshold.

Environment

Azo basic dyes have moderate to high water solubility (0.1–340 g/L). Azo basic dyes are expected to settle out of the water column to bed sediments or wastewater sludge. Modelled biodegradation data for azo basic dyes predict that these substances would biodegrade slowly in water under aerobic conditions. In sediment and soil, biodegradation is also expected to be slow under aerobic conditions and fast under anaerobic conditions. Azo basic dyes may degrade and transform to certain aromatic amines if they reach anaerobic environments.

Azo basic dyes are not expected to bioaccumulate given their physical and chemical properties (i.e. low log octanol–water partition coefficients, ionized at relevant environmental pH, moderate molar weights, relatively large cross-sectional diameters and moderate to high water solubilities).

Azo basic dyes were divided into seven subsets based on their physical and chemical properties, and the critical toxicity value for the most sensitive ecological subset was derived from the most sensitive valid experimental value. Most substances had median lethal concentrations (LC50 values) that ranged between 0.3 and 13 mg/L for aquatic organisms. Based on the experimental and read-across data and the low critical toxicity values for each subset, it is concluded that azo basic dyes may be expected to be hazardous to aquatic organisms at moderate concentrations (i.e. LC50 <10 mg/L). Based on limited empirical soil toxicity data, azo basic dyes are not expected to cause harm to soil-dwelling organisms at low concentrations.

Given that the water column is the major environmental compartment for the presence of azo basic dyes, aquatic exposure analyses were focused on scenarios representing potential major environmental releases due to industrial activities that may result in high levels of exposure of aquatic organisms. Predicted environmental concentrations were calculated for the aquatic environment for those substances used in chemical formulation, paper dyeing, textile dyeing and pharmaceutical production processes. The predicted environmental concentrations were derived in the form of probabilistic distributions due to the variability and uncertainty in several contributing variables. The probability that the predicted environmental concentrations of azo basic dyes exceeded the predicted no-effect concentration was very low in all four scenarios.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft Screening Assessment, there is low risk of harm to organisms and the broader integrity of the environment from azo basic dyes. It is proposed to conclude that the 33 azo basic dyes in this assessment do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or 64(b) of CEPA 1999, as they are 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 or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.

Human health

With respect to human health, the current screening assessment addresses 32 of 33 substances in the Azo Basic Dyes subgroup. The remaining substance, NDTHPM, was previously assessed and a conclusion was published under the Challenge initiative of the CMP. As significant new information was not identified for NDTHPM, the human health risk assessment for this substance has not been updated.

Exposure of the general population of Canada to the substances in the Azo Basic Dyes subgroup from environmental media is not considered to be significant.

Of the 32 substances for which conclusions have been drawn, 12 substances in the Azo Basic Dyes subgroup have been identified as being present in certain products (paper products, textiles, drugs and cosmetics) in Canada that may result in exposure of the general population.

The margins between the upper-bounding estimate of dermal exposure to Basic Orange 2 in hair dye and the short-term critical health effect in rats are considered adequate to address uncertainties in the exposure and health effects databases. The margin of exposure derived for Basic Orange 2 through dermal contact with hair dye is considered to be protective of exposure via pen ink.

Potential exposure and risk to human health from exposure to the substances bearing CAS RNs 75660-25-2 and 52769-39-8, through incidental ingestion of paper products by toddlers, is not expected to be significant. The substance bearing CAS RN 52769-39-8 is not considered to pose a high hazard to human health based on the absence of indications for health effects of concern and its limited potential for exposure.

Exposure to the substances bearing CAS RNs 14408-20-9, 36986-04-6, 59709-10-3, 68929-07-7, 69852-41-1 and 93783-70-1 may occur through dermal and oral contact with textiles as well as oral ingestion of paper. No health effects data were identified for these substances in the Azo Basic Dyes subgroup, nor were appropriate analogues identified. There were no indications of high hazard for azo reductive cleavage products. Therefore, the risk of dermal exposure to and incidental ingestion of textiles or paper containing substances bearing CAS RNs 14408-20-9, 36986-04-6, 59709-10-3, 68929-07-7, 69852-41-1 and 93783-70-1 for the general population of Canada is not considered to be significant.

It is therefore proposed to conclude that the above azo basic dyes being evaluated in this assessment do not meet the criteria set out in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999. In addition, there are no updates to the assessment and conclusion made with respect to paragraph 64(c) for NDTHPM, previously considered by the Government of Canada under the Challenge initiative of the CMP.

Overall proposed conclusion

Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that the 33 azo basic dyes considered in this assessment do not meet one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

Considerations for follow-up

Although a concern for human health has not been identified for the general population of Canada at current levels of exposure, seven of the azo basic dyes in the subgroup (Basic Brown 1, Basic Orange 2, and the dyes bearing CAS RN 136-40-3, CAS RN 63681-54-9, CAS RN 75199-20-1, CAS RN 75660-25-2 and CAS RN 125329-01-3) are recognized for their high human health hazard based on their potential carcinogenicity and/or genotoxicity. Similarly, although a concern for human health has not been identified for the general population of Canada with respect to the substances bearing CAS RN 75119-20-1 and CAS RN 125329-01-3, p-aminoazobenzene — recognized for its high human health hazard — may be released upon reductive azo bond cleavage of these substances. There may be a concern for human health if exposure of the general population of Canada to these substances were to increase.

Additionally, there is high uncertainty with the characterization of human health effects hazard for 7 of the 33 azo basic dyes (CAS RN 14408-20-9, CAS RN 36986-04-6, CAS RN 52769-39-8, CAS RN 59709-10-3, CAS RN 68929-07-7, CAS RN 69852-41-1, and CAS RN 93783-70-1) due to a paucity of empirical or predictive data in the health effects database.

To ensure consistency across the Aromatic Azo and Benzidine-based Substance Grouping, options on how best to monitor changes in the use profiles of these substances will be investigated when the assessments for all of the substances in this grouping are completed. Where relevant, research and monitoring will support verification of assumptions used during the screening assessment.
