Annex
Summaries of the Draft Reports of the Assessment of the Substance 2-Methoxyethanol, 2-Ethoxyethanol, 2-Butoxyethanol Specified on the Priority Substances List
2-Methoxyethanol
2-Methoxyethanol is not commercially produced in Canada. It is imported for use mainly as a chemical processing aid and as a component of formulated products. The use of 2-methoxyethanol has declined over the past few years because it has been partially replaced in some countries by other substances. All reported environmental releases are to the atmosphere.
2-Methoxyethanol reacts with hydroxyl radicals in the air with a half-life of about 18 hours. Much of the 2-methoxyethanol released to the atmosphere is predicted to remain in air, but a substantial proportion would partition to water and to soil. 2-Methoxyethanol is biodegraded in surface water and aerobic soil with an estimated half-life of 1 to 4 weeks. It is somewhat more persistent under aerobic conditions. 2-Methoxyethanol has a very low octanol/water partition coefficient and is therefore not expected to bioaccumulate to any significant degree. There are very few available data on concentrations of 2-methoxyethanol in the environment in Canada or elsewhere.
Data on toxicity exist for aquatic organisms, including microorganisms, invertebrates and fish. 2-Methoxyethanol is not very toxic to these organisms; in a number of studies, the LC50 was above the highest concentration tested.
Because of the paucity of environmental monitoring data, exposure values for the environmental assessment were estimated based on modelling. Estimated environmental concentrations of 2-methoxyethanol are several orders of magnitude lower than the adverse effects thresholds calculated for sensitive organisms.
2-Methoxyethanol is not involved in stratospheric ozone depletion and is not an important contributor to climate change or ground-level ozone formation.
Based on a relatively extensive database in experimental animals, 2-methoxyethanol has consistently been associated with a wide range of adverse effects on health, including those considered to be severe and irreversible (e.g., teratogenicity), with some occurring at relatively low levels of exposure. However, although relevant data are limited, exposure of the general population through environmental media is expected to be small, due to reported declining use of the compound in recent years as it is replaced with less hazardous compounds. Margins between worst-case estimates of exposure from environmental media and lowest effect levels for developmental toxicity obtained in toxicological investigations in experimental animals are large. However, available data are insufficient to conclude that margins between worst-case estimates of exposure in consumer products and lowest effect levels are adequate.
Based on these considerations, it is concluded that 2-methoxyethanol is 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 principally of its high health hazard potential, 2-methoxyethanol may be 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. Therefore, it is proposed that 2-methoxyethanol be considered "toxic" under section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).
It is recommended that additional information be acquired on patterns of use of 2-methoxyethanol in Canada, particularly in relation to its presence in consumer products. It is further recommended that, in view of the profile of toxicity of 2-methoxyethanol, potential for exposure of the general population to this compound be eliminated or reduced to the extent possible.
2-Ethoxyethanol
2-Ethoxyethanol is not commercially produced in Canada. It is imported for use mainly as a component of formulated products. All environmental releases are reported to be to the atmosphere. Some 2-ethoxyethanol is also sent to landfills and other waste disposal sites.
2-Ethoxyethanol reacts with hydroxyl radicals in the air with a half-life of about 0.2 to 4 days. Much of the 2-ethoxyethanol released to the atmosphere is predicted to remain in air, but a substantial proportion would partition to water and to soil. 2-Ethoxyethanol is biodegraded in surface water and aerobic soil with an estimated half-life of 1 to 4 weeks. It is somewhat more persistent under anaerobic conditions. 2-Ethoxyethanol has a very low octanol/water partition coefficient and is therefore not expected to bioaccumulate to any significant degree. There are very few available data on concentrations of 2-ethoxyethanol in the environment in Canada or elsewhere.
Data on toxicity exist for aquatic organisms, including microorganisms, invertebrates and fish. 2-Ethoxyethanol is not very toxic to these organisms; in a number of studies, the LC50 was above the highest concentration tested.
Exposure values for air were based on limited Canadian monitoring data. Because of the paucity of environmental monitoring data, exposure values for soil and water were estimated based on fugacity modelling. Estimated environmental concentrations of 2-ethoxyethanol are several orders of magnitude lower than the adverse effects thresholds calculated for sensitive organisms.
2-Ethoxyethanol is not involved in stratospheric ozone depletion and is not an important contributor to climate change or ground-level ozone formation.
2-Ethoxyethanol has consistently induced hematological, reproductive (effects on testes and sperm parameters) and developmental effects in multiple species of experimental animals exposed by various routes. In addition, there is some limited evidence of effects on the blood and reduced sperm production in occupationally exposed human populations. Although monitoring data are very limited, the margins between upper-bounding estimates of exposure to 2-ethoxyethanol in the general environment and conservative effect levels for critical effects are large. However, upper-bounding estimates of exposure to 2-ethoxyethanol through use of some consumer products containing the substance may approach or exceed these conservative effect levels, although the degree of confidence in the estimates of exposure from consumer products is considered to be extremely low.
Based on these considerations, it is concluded that 2-ethoxyethanol is 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. Based on comparison of upper-bounding estimates of exposure in the general environment with conservative effect levels, it is concluded that 2-ethoxyethanol is 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. Therefore, it is proposed that 2-ethoxyethanol not be considered "toxic" as defined in section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).
Although 2-ethoxyethanol was not detected in emissions from a range of consumer products in Canada, acquisition of additional more representative information on its use in consumer products in Canada is desirable.
2-Butoxyethanol
2-Butoxyethanol is commercially produced in Canada and imported for use mainly as a component of formulations, as part of consumer products or manufactured articles, and as a chemical processing aid. Most reported environmental releases are to the atmosphere, with some minor releases to water.
2-Butoxyethanol reacts with hydroxyl radicals in the air with a half-life of a few hours to about a day. Most of the 2-butoxyethanol released to the atmosphere is predicted to remain in air, with some partitioning to water and soil. 2-Butoxyethanol is biodegraded in water and soil, with an estimated half-life of 1 to 4 weeks. It has a low octanol/water partition coefficient and is therefore not expected to bioaccumulate to any significant degree. Only limited data are available on concentrations of 2-butoxyethanol in the environment in Canada or elsewhere.
Data on toxicity were identified for aquatic organisms, including microorganisms, invertebrates and fish. The most sensitive species reported, based on acute exposure, is the grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio).
Because of the limitations of environmental monitoring data, exposures for environmental compartments other than air were estimated based on modelling. Estimated environmental concentrations of 2-butoxyethanol are a few orders of magnitude less than the adverse effects thresholds calculated for sensitive organisms.
2-Butoxyethanol is not involved in stratospheric ozone depletion and is not an important contributor to climate change or ground-level ozone formation.
Based on the limited data identified, inhalation of 2-butoxyethanol in air is an important route of exposure, with estimated exposure through use of consumer products containing the substance being considerable. No data were identified concerning the contribution of food to overall exposure to 2-butoxyethanol.
Based primarily on investigations in experimental animals, the principal critical health effects associated with exposure to 2-butoxyethanol are alterations in hematological parameters associated with hemolysis. Tolerable concentrations for these effects and for lesions of the forestomach in mice, for which information on mode of action is inadequate to preclude their relevance to humans, were developed, based on benchmark concentrations. A tolerable concentration is the level of intake to which it is believed a person may be exposed daily over a lifetime without deleterious effect.
Levels of 2-butoxyethanol in ambient air in Canada are less than the tolerable concentrations derived for effects on the blood or forestomach. However, exposure to 2-butoxyethanol during use of products containing the substance could potentially greatly exceed the tolerable concentrations, based on limited data on emissions from products currently available in Canada.
Based on available data, it is proposed that 2-butoxyethanol is 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 constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends. 2-Butoxyethanol is considered to be 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. Therefore, it is proposed that 2-butoxyethanol be considered "toxic" as defined in section 64 of CEPA 1999.
Additional characterization of the ranges and distributions of concentrations of 2-butoxyethanol in consumer products currently available in Canada and their emissions is considered a clear priority as a basis for risk management.

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment
Interim Marketing Authorization
Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of the alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes produced by Aspergillus niger at levels of use consistent with good manufacturing practice in the production of ale, beer, light beer, malt liquor, porter, stout, distillers' mash and on starch used in the production of dextrins, maltose, dextrose, glucose and glucose solids. Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of the alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes produced by Aspergillus niger genetically modified to contain multiple copies of its natural alpha-amylase and glucoamylase genes in the production of the above products. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of these uses of the alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes obtained from this genetically modified Aspergillus niger.
The use of these alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes, as indicated above, will benefit the industry by providing an alternative and more efficient method for the production of ale, beer, light beer, malt liquor, porter, stout, distillers' mash, dextrins, maltose, dextrose, glucose (glucose syrup) and glucose solids (dried glucose syrup), thus improving yield and productivity.
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of the alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes produced by Aspergillus niger genetically modified to contain multiple copies of its natural alpha-amylase and glucoamylase genes for the purposes outlined above at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice.
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 this alpha-amylase and glucoamylase enzyme as indicated above while the regulatory process to amend the Regulations formally is undertaken.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT
MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
Technical Standards Document No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems" — Revision No. 1
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to section 12 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and sections 16 and 17 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, that the Department of Transport has revised Technical Standards Document (TSD) No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake systems." The revised document is effective as of the date of publication of this notice, and is enforceable six months thereafter.
TSD No. 105 reproduces the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 105 of the same title. Incorporated by reference in section 105 of the Regulations, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake systems," TSD No. 105 contains braking performance requirements for vehicles that are equipped with a hydraulic brake or an electric brake system.
The revision allows the use, under certain conditions, of a regenerative braking system for the brake testing of an electric vehicle. This revision replicates the regulatory text of the Final Rule issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, published as Docket 2000-6740, in the Federal Register of February 9, 2000. The Final Rule was issued in response to a petition by Hydro-Quebec in order to facilitate new technology in the braking system of an electric vehicle.
Copies of TSD No. 105 may be obtained on the Internet at: www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/mvstm_tsd/indextsd_f.htm or at the following address: Standards and Regulations Division (ASFBE), Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate, Transport Canada, 330 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5.
Copies may also be ordered by calling either 1-800-333-0371 or, within the National Capital Region, (613) 998-8616.
Any comments on TSD No. 105 should be directed to Winson Ng, Automotive Safety Engineer, at the above address, by telephone at (613) 998-1949 or by facsimile at (613) 990-2913.
