Return to table 1 note a referrer

For the purposes of the human health assessment, the LBPN substances in this assessment were divided into four subgroups: C9–C14 hydrocarbon solvents (subgroup 1), C9 aromatic hydrocarbon solvents (subgroup 2), the C6–C9 aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents (subgroup 3), and the LBPNs with no identified uses in products available to consumers (subgroup 4). The primary basis for the subgroups was the differences in health effects, carbon ranges for the hydrocarbon components, aromatic content, and potential uses in products available to consumers. Within each subgroup, the CAS RNs are assumed to be interchangeable with respect to their use in categories of products available to consumers.

The 27 LBPNs in this assessment are complex and highly variable combinations of hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of crude oil, followed by the fractionation of the resultant hydrocarbon streams by boiling range. They contain straight and branched chain alkanes (that is paraffins and isoparaffins), cycloalkanes (also known as cycloparaffins), alkenes (also known as olefins), and aromatic hydrocarbons, predominantly in the carbon range of C4 to C14.

The 27 LBPN substances in this assessment may be used at the refinery where they are produced; blended into substances leaving the refinery under different CAS RNs; or transported by truck or train to other petroleum or non-petroleum sector facilities for use as feedstocks or to be blended with other feedstocks, resulting in a new substance with a new CAS RN. The exposures and risks associated with petroleum industry uses of the 27 LPBN substances are considered to be similar to those of the site-restricted and industry-restricted LBPNs for which risk assessment activities are considered to have already taken place under CEPA and are not considered further in this assessment. Several of the 27 LBPN substances are also identified as being used in non-petroleum industries as solvents and are present in products available to consumers, including in cosmetics, automotive products, paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, household cleaning products, and as formulants in pest control products. Some may also be used in the manufacture of food packaging materials and in incidental additives used in food processing establishments.

Since the aromatic content of the LBPNs in many commercial or industrial uses is unknown, aromatic contents ranging from 0% to 100% by weight were considered in the ecological assessment. Empirical aquatic toxicity data for LBPNs were comparable with modelled toxicity values. However, the predicted no-effect concentrations were determined on the basis of modelled aquatic toxicity data, which made it possible to estimate toxicity in the most sensitive species for LBPNs with a range of aromatic contents, while taking into consideration the compositional changes after wastewater treatment.

Predicted environmental concentrations of LBPNs were estimated for the three exposure scenarios with the highest potential for release to the environment, including a consumer release scenario resulting from the use of products available to consumers, such as paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, personal care and cosmetic products, household cleaners, and automotive care products; a generic formulation scenario for products available to consumers and industrial applications; and a pulp and paper scenario for the use of processing aids by pulp and paper mills. Environmental concentrations in the aquatic environment following wastewater treatment associated with releases from these uses were estimated and compared to modelled predicted no effect concentrations on the basis of the predicted composition of LBPNs in the effluent. In addition, the concentration of LBPNs in soils following the application of biosolids from wastewater treatment facilities to soil were compared to predicted no effect concentrations for soil organisms. On the basis of these comparisons, LBPNs are considered unlikely to be causing ecological harm to aquatic and soil organisms. Because of the volatile nature of LBPNs, terrestrial wildlife may be exposed to LBPNs through inhalation. Comparison of a critical toxicity value and estimated annual emission rate of LBPNs to air in this assessment with those in previous assessments on petroleum site-restricted and industry-restricted LBPNs indicates that the LBPNs examined in this assessment are unlikely to be causing ecological harm to terrestrial wildlife.

The potential for cumulative effects was considered in this assessment by examining cumulative exposures from within the group of Petroleum LBPNs. Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from the 27 LBPNs in this assessment. It is proposed to conclude that the 27 LBPNs 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.

A critical health effect for the LBPNs was initially considered to be genotoxicity or carcinogenicity of benzene. However, the LBPNs in this assessment contain less than 0.1% benzene according to available data; therefore, concerns associated with benzene genotoxicity or carcinogenicity are not considered applicable, and other critical effects were taken into consideration.

For subgroup 1, the C9–C14 hydrocarbon solvents, chronic neurotoxicity effects on humans and developmental neurotoxicity effects on laboratory animals were identified in inhalation studies. These effects were considered applicable to long-term and short-term exposure inhalation scenarios, respectively. With respect to the dermal route, effects on the peripheral nerve system in laboratory animals were considered to be critical effects following short- and long-term exposure. A comparison of the critical effects levels with the estimated exposures from certain cosmetics and other products available to consumers in Canada resulted in margins of exposure (MOEs) that are considered to be potentially inadequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases. On the basis of the estimated maximum environmental media exposures (air and water) of these substances, the risk to human health from exposure to these subgroup 1 substances was considered to be low.

For subgroup 2, the C9 aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, reduced body weights, dose-related mortality in maternal animals, reduced fetal body weights, and delayed ossification in their offspring animals were identified in inhalation studies conducted on laboratory animals. These effects were considered applicable for both short-term and long-term exposure scenarios. With respect to the oral route, effects on the liver and kidneys were considered to be critical effects following long-term exposure. A comparison of the estimated exposures from certain cosmetics and other products available to consumers, including nail polish, nail adhesive, spray paint, stain, floor polish, and lacquer, to the critical effect levels resulted in MOEs that are considered to be potentially inadequate. On the basis of the estimated maximum environmental media exposures (air and water) of these substances, the risk to human health from exposure to these subgroup 2 substances was considered to be low.

For subgroup 3, the C6–C9 aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents, limited health effects data were available for these substances; therefore, toxicological data from representative UVCBs were used to inform the health effects assessment. A reproductive and developmental toxicity endpoint identified in laboratory animals was considered applicable for short-duration exposures, while long-term exposures were compared to a carcinogenicity study in mice. A comparison of the estimated exposures from certain products available to consumers in Canada to the critical effect levels resulted in MOEs that are considered to be potentially inadequate. On the basis of the estimated maximum environmental media exposures (air and water) of these substances, the risk to human health from exposure to these subgroup 3 substances was considered to be low.

The health effects associated with subgroup 4, the LBPNs with no identified uses in products available to consumers, were characterized in a similar fashion to the previous three groupings. On the basis of the estimated maximum environmental media exposures (air and water) of these substances, the risk to human health from exposure to these substances was considered to be low.

The human health assessment took into consideration those groups of individuals within the Canadian population who, due to greater susceptibility or greater exposure, may be more vulnerable to experiencing adverse health effects. In addition, the potential for elevated exposure for people living near non-petroleum industrial facilities that may release some of these substances was considered in the assessment. The potential for cumulative effects was considered in this assessment by examining cumulative exposures from within the groups of Petroleum LBPNs.

Considering all of the information presented in this draft assessment, it is proposed to conclude that the nine C9–C14 hydrocarbon solvents (subgroup 1; CAS RNs 8030-30-6, 8032-32-4, 8052-41-3, 64475-85-0, 64741-41-9, 64741-65-7, 64742-48-9, 64742-82-1, and 64742-88-7), one C9 aromatic solvents (subgroup 2; CAS RN 64742-95-6), and seven C6–C9 aliphatic solvents (subgroup 3; CAS RNs 64741-66-8, 64741-84-0, 64742-49-0, 64742-89-8, 68410-97-9, 68647-60-9, and 426260-76-6), which occur in products available to consumers, meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as they are entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health. Considering all of the information presented in this draft assessment, it is proposed to conclude that the 10 LBPNs in subgroup 4 with no identified uses in products available to consumers (CAS RNs 64741-68-0, 64741-92-0, 64741-98-6, 68333-81-3, 68512-78-7, 68513-03-1, 68553-14-0, 68603-08-7, 68920-06-9, and 70693-06-0) do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as they are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Proposed overall conclusion

It is therefore proposed to conclude that the 17 LBPNs in C9–C14 hydrocarbon solvents (subgroup 1; CAS RNs 8030-30-6, 8032-32-4, 8052-41-3, 64475-85-0, 64741-41-9, 64741-65-7, 64742-48-9, 64742-82-1, and 64742-88-7), C9 aromatic solvents (subgroup 2; CAS RN 64742-95-6) and C6–C9 aliphatic solvents (subgroup 3; CAS RNs 64741-66-8, 64741-84-0, 64742-49-0, 64742-89-8, 68410-97-9, 68647-60-9 and 426260-76-6) meet one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA. It is therefore proposed to conclude that the 10 LBPNs in subgroup 4 with no identified uses in products available to consumers (CAS RNs 64741-68-0, 64741-92-0, 64741-98-6, 68333-81-3, 68512-78-7, 68513-03-1, 68553-14-0, 68603-08-7, 68920-06-9, and 70693-06-0) do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.
