ANNEX I

Summary of the draft screening assessment of select hydrocarbon-based substances

Pursuant to section 68 or 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the ministers have conducted a draft screening assessment of eight hydrocarbon-based substances. These substances were identified as priorities for assessment, as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RNsfootnote 2), the Domestic Substances List (DSL) names, and the simplified or common names used of these substances are listed in the table below.

The eight substances assessed in this screening assessment

This substance was not identified under subsection 73(1) of CEPA but was included in this assessment, as it was considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns.

Return to table a1 note b referrer

Petroleum resins are used in asphalt, adhesives and sealants, lubricants and greases, and polishes and waxes. Petroleum resins appear in some cosmetics and natural health products as an adhesive. Hydrocarbon resin is used mostly in household and construction adhesive products. The use of these resin substances as adhesives and resin components is expected to have low exposure potential to the environment. Polymerized C5-12 distillates, which is also a resin, is an intermediate petrochemical substance that is unlikely to leave petrochemical facilities without further processing, and no uses in products available to consumers in Canada have been identified for this substance. Based on experimental data for petroleum resins, and given their very low water solubility, these substances are also expected to have low ecotoxicity and have low hazard potential to the environment. These three resins have low human health hazard potential based on their high molecular weight (500 to 2 000 daltons), and low volatility. In addition, dermal exposure to the two resin substances, following their specialized uses in high melt adhesives, is not expected to lead to systemic exposure to humans. The use of resin substances as components of asphalt is considered to have been addressed through the asphalt and oxidized asphalt screening assessment, which concluded that these asphalt and oxidized asphalt substances present a low potential of concern for the environment and the human health. Therefore, petroleum resins, hydrocarbon resin, and polymerized C5-12 distillates are unlikely to be causing harm to the environment, and the potential risk to human health from these substances is considered to be low.

Oxidized hydrocarbon waxes with EA and oxidized hydrocarbon waxes with 2-MAE are made up of oxidized petrolatum and alkanolamine constituents. Based on the available information, oxidized hydrocarbon waxes with EA and oxidized hydrocarbon waxes with 2-MAE are not expected to be in use in Canada. The constituents of these UVCB substances have been assessed previously through the Petrolatum and Waxes Group and the Alkanolamines and Fatty Alkanolamides Group screening assessments and were concluded not to meet any criteria under section 64 of CEPA. Available data also suggests that these substances are of low toxicity and low bioavailability. Therefore, oxidized hydrocarbon waxes with EA and oxidized hydrocarbon waxes with 2-MAE are unlikely to be causing harm to the environment, and the potential risk to human health from these substances is considered to be low.

Alkylated naphthalene sulfonate sodium salt polymers with formaldehyde is used as a formulant in pest control products (which is addressed under the Pest Control Products Act), and industrially as a wetting and penetrating agent. The industrial use of this substance is not expected to lead to environmental exposure, and its ecological hazard is expected to be low. This substance is absent from products available to consumers, and the general population is not expected to be exposed to this substance through environmental media or food. Therefore, alkylated naphthalene sulfonate sodium salt is unlikely to be causing harm to the environment, and the potential risk to human health from this substance is considered to be low.

Heavy oxo ends is used as an industrial de-foamer and is not present in products available to consumers. Exposure of the general population in Canada is not expected. Heavy oxo ends is expected to be of low ecological risk based on no effect at high loading rates and limited environmental exposure. On the basis of these considerations, heavy oxo ends is unlikely to be causing harm to the environment, and the potential risk to human health from this substance is considered to be low.

Sulfurized petroleum has industrial uses as a metal-working agent in industrial cutting oils where the sulfur additive performs an anti-wear function in the oil. Used metal-working fluids are disposed of as “used oil” and are subject to the Code of Practice for Used Oil Management in Canada. No uses of this substance in products available to consumers were identified. On the basis of these considerations, exposure for the general population to this substance is not expected. Based on modelled data, sulfurized petroleum is expected to have a relatively low toxicity and low bioavailability. Sulfurized petroleum is unlikely to be causing harm to the environment, and the potential risk to human health is considered to be low.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is low risk of harm to the environment from the eight hydrocarbon-based substances in this assessment. It is proposed to conclude that the eight hydrocarbon-based substances in this assessment do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, 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.

On the basis of the information presented in this draft screening assessment, it is proposed to conclude that the eight hydrocarbon-based substances in this assessment do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as they 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.

This report also identifies 35 hydrocarbon-based substances (identified in Annex II) for which risk assessment activities are considered to have already taken place under CEPA. These substances were identified as priorities for assessment, as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. Based on their composition, physical-chemical properties and reported uses, these additional 35 substances were considered to fall within hydrocarbon-based groups that have previously been addressed under CEPA. These substances include 31 low boiling point naphthas, 2 natural gases, and 2 substances that align with coal tars and their distillates [pitch and light oil (coal) coke-oven]. Identified uses of these 35 substances are not expected to result in exposures beyond those already considered in previous assessments. Since these substances are not expected to contribute additional concerns to human health or the environment beyond those that have already been identified in past assessments of similar substances, they will not undergo further assessment at this time. In addition, existing or future risk management actions related to the previous assessments, where applicable, are expected to address the risks from these substances.

Proposed overall conclusion

It is therefore proposed to conclude that the eight hydrocarbon-based substances assessed in this draft screening assessment do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

The draft screening assessment for these substances is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.
