ANNEX

Summary of the Screening Assessment of Seven Heavy Fuel Oils

The Ministers of the Environment and of Health have conducted a screening assessment of the following site-restricted heavy fuel oils (HFOs):

^a The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) is the property of the American Chemical Society and any use or redistribution, except as required in supporting regulatory requirements and/or for reports to the government when the information and the reports are required by law or administrative policy, is not permitted without the prior, written permission of the American Chemical Society.

^b DSL = Domestic Substances List

These substances were identified as high priorities for action during the categorization of the Domestic Substances List, as they were determined to present “greatest potential” or intermediate potential for exposure to individuals in Canada and were considered to present a high hazard to human health. Most of these substances were identified by categorization as ecological priorities as some of their components met criteria for persistence or bioaccumulation and inherent toxicity to non-human organisms, but no components met all three criteria. These substances were all included in the Petroleum Sector Stream Approach (PSSA) because they are related to the petroleum sector and are all complex mixtures.

Heavy fuel oils (HFOs) are a group of complex petroleum mixtures that serve as blending stocks in final heavy fuel products or as intermediate products of distillate or residue derived from refinery distillation or cracking units. The final fuel product usually consists of a mixture of HFOs as well as higher-quality hydrocarbons as diluents. HFOs are composed of aromatic, aliphatic and cycloalkane hydrocarbons, primarily in the carbon range of C₂₀ to C₅₀ (C₁₁ is the smallest hydrocarbon found in the group) and have a typical boiling point range from 160–650°C. Therefore, HFOs are considered to be of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials (UVCBs). In order to predict the overall behaviour of these complex substances for the purposes of assessing the potential for ecological effects, representative structures have been selected from each chemical class in the mixture.

Based on the combined evidence of empirical and modeled bioconcentration/bioaccumulation potential, the HFOs assessed in this report likely contain large proportions of C₁₅–C₂₀ components that are highly bioaccumulative based on criteria in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA 1999. All of the HFOs considered here may be comprised of significant proportions of components (mostly C₃₀ or more) that persist in soil, water and sediments based on criteria in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations. No components of these HFOs were found to be both persistent and bioaccumulative based on criteria in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations.

The modelled ecotoxicological data suggest that these HFOs, as complex mixtures, are potentially hazardous to aquatic organisms. However, the HFOs considered in this report have been identified as site-restricted (i.e. they are a subset of HFOs that are not expected to be transported off the petroleum refinery or upgrader facility sites). Accordingly, exposure is expected to be negligible and so the potential for ecological harm is considered to be low.

Site-restricted HFOs were identified as a high priority for action because they were considered to present a high hazard to human health. A critical effect for the initial categorization of site-restricted HFO substances was carcinogenicity, based primarily on classifications by international agencies. Several studies reported skin tumour development in mice, rabbits and monkeys following repeated dermal application of HFO substances. HFOs demonstrated genotoxicity in in vivo and in vitro assays, although results varied between HFOs with different CAS RNs. Studies on laboratory animals indicate that HFOs may also adversely affect reproduction and development. Information on additional HFO substances in the PSSA that are similar from a processing and physical-chemical perspective was considered for characterization of human health effects.

The HFOs considered in this screening assessment have been identified as site-restricted. According to information submitted under section 71 of CEPA 1999 and other sources of information, these HFOs are consumed on site or blended into substances leaving the site under different CAS RNs. In addition, a number of regulatory and non-regulatory measures are already in place in Canada, which minimize releases of site-restricted petroleum sector substances, including provincial/territorial operating permit requirements and best practices and guidelines put in place by the petroleum industry at refinery and upgrader facilities. Accordingly, environmental and general population exposure to these substances is not expected, and therefore harm to the environment or human health is not expected.

Therefore, it is concluded that these site-restricted HFO substances 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 biodiversity, or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends, or that constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Conclusion

Based on the information available, it is concluded that the seven site-restricted HFOs listed under CAS RNs 64741-45-3, 64741-61-3, 64741-80-6, 68333-22-2, 68333-27-7, 68476-32-4 and 68478-17-1 do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

Because these substances are listed on the Domestic Substances List, their import and manufacture in Canada are not subject to notification under subsection 81(1) of CEPA 1999. Given the potential hazardous properties of these substances, there is concern that new activities that have not been identified or assessed could lead to these substances meeting the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. Therefore, application of the Significant New Activity provisions of the Act to these substances is being considered, so that any proposed new manufacture, import or use of this substance outside a petroleum refinery or upgrader facility be subject to further assessment, to determine if the new activity requires further risk management consideration.

The screening assessment report for these substances is available on the Government of Canada’s Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).

ANNEX

Summary of the Screening Assessment of the 20 Low Boiling Point Naphthas Listed Below

Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Ministers of the Environment and of Health have conducted a screening assessment of the following site-restricted low boiling point naphthas (LBPNs):

^a  The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) is the property of the American Chemical Society and any use or redistribution, except as required in supporting regulatory requirements and/or for reports to the government when the information and the reports are required by law or administrative policy, is not permitted without the prior, written permission of the American Chemical Society.

^b  DSL = Domestic Substances List

These substances were identified as high priorities for action during the categorization of the Domestic Substances List, as they were determined to present “greatest potential” or intermediate potential for exposure to individuals in Canada and were considered to present a high hazard to human health. Some of the components of these substances met the ecological categorization criteria for persistence or bioaccumulation and inherent toxicity to non-human organisms, but none of them met all of the criteria. These substances were included in the Petroleum Sector Stream Approach (PSSA) because they were related to the petroleum sector and are all complex mixtures.

Low boiling point naphthas are a group of complex petroleum mixtures that generally serve as blending constituents in gasoline or are intermediate products of distillation or extraction processes, which subsequently undergo further refining. Final gasoline products usually consist of a mixture of LBPNs as well as other high-quality hydrocarbons that have been isolated during processing at refinery or upgrader facilities. The compositions of LBPNs vary depending on the source of crude oil or bitumen. Therefore, LBPNs are considered to be of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials (UVCBs). In order to predict the overall behaviour of these complex substances for the purposes of assessing the potential for ecological effects, representative structures have been selected from each chemical class in the mixture.

Based on the available information, all of these LBPNs are likely to have high proportions of C₄–C₆ hydrocarbons that are considered to be persistent in air, based on criteria in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA 1999.

None of the LBPNs considered here contain components that are considered to be bioaccumulative based on criteria in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA 1999.

Experimental and modelled ecotoxicological data indicate that many of these LBPNs are moderately toxic to aquatic organisms. It is likely that the toxicity observed in experimental studies is due to the presence of mono- and di-aromatic and alkylated aromatic hydrocarbons; however, the lack of data on the proportions of these components makes it impossible to confirm.

Site-restricted LBPNs were identified as a high priority for action because they were considered to present a high hazard to human health. A critical effect for the initial categorization of site-restricted LBPN substances was carcinogenicity, based primarily on classifications by other international agencies. Furthermore, benzene, a genotoxic carcinogen, is known to be a constituent of LBPN substances. Several studies also confirmed skin tumour development in mice following repeated dermal application of LBPN substances. However, LBPNs demonstrated limited evidence of genotoxicity in in vivo and in vitro assays, as well as limited potential to adversely affect reproduction and development. Information on additional LBPN substances in the PSSA that are similar from a processing and physical-chemical perspective was considered for characterization of human health effects.

The LBPNs considered in this screening assessment have been identified as site-restricted (i.e. they are a subset of LBPNs that are not expected to be transported off refinery or upgrader facility sites). According to information submitted under section 71 of CEPA 1999, and other sources of information, these LBPNs are consumed on site or are blended into substances leaving the site under different CAS RNs. In addition, a number of regulatory and non-regulatory measures are already in place in Canada, which minimize releases of site-restricted petroleum sector substances, including provincial/territorial operating permit requirements, and best practices and guidelines put in place by the petroleum industry at refinery and upgrader facilities. Accordingly, environmental and general population exposure to these substances is not expected, and therefore harm to human health or the environment is not expected.

Therefore, it is concluded that these site-restricted LBPNs 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, or that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Conclusion

Based on the information available, it is concluded that site-restricted LBPNs listed under CAS RNs 64741-54-4, 64741-55-5, 64741-64-6, 64741-74-8, 64742-22-9, 64742-23-0, 64742-73-0, 68410-05-9, 68410-71-9, 68410-96-8, 68476-46-0, 68477-89-4, 68478-12-6, 68513-02-0, 68514-79-4, 68606-11-1, 68783-12-0, 68919-37-9, 68955-35-1 and 101795-01-1 do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

Because these substances are listed on the Domestic Substances List, their import and manufacture in Canada are not subject to notification under subsection 81(1) of CEPA 1999. Given the potential hazardous properties of these substances, there is concern that new activities that have not been identified or assessed could lead to these substances meeting the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. Therefore, application of the Significant New Activity provisions of the Act to these substances is being considered, so that any proposed new manufacture, import or use of these substances outside a petroleum refinery or upgrader facility be subject to further assessment, to determine if the new activity requires further risk management consideration.

The final screening assessment report for these substances is available on the Government of Canada’s Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).

ANNEX

Summary of the Update on the Human Health Assessment of Long-chain Chlorinated Alkanes

Chlorinated alkanes, also known as chlorinated paraffins (CPs) were included on the first Priority Substances List (PSL1) program under the 1988 Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA 1988) for assessment of potential risks to the environment and human health.

Chlorinated paraffins are chlorinated alkanes that have carbon chain lengths ranging from 10 to 38 with varying degrees of chlorination. They are subdivided into three groups: short-chain chlorinated paraffins with 10-13 carbon atoms (SCCPs), medium-chain chlorinated paraffins with 14-17 carbon atoms (MCCPs) and long-chain chlorinated paraffins with 18 to 38 carbon atoms (LCCPs).

In 1993, Environment Canada and Health Canada published an assessment report that concluded SCCPs constitute or may constitute a danger to human health or life according to the criteria described in CEPA 1988. However, available data at that time were considered insufficient to conclude whether short-, medium- or long-chain chlorinated paraffins were harmful to the environment or whether medium- or long-chain chlorinated paraffins were considered a danger to human health.

After addressing the critical data gaps identified in the 1993 assessment report, a draft follow-up report was published in 2005, which was followed by a 60-day comment period. The final follow-up report was published in 2008 with the conclusion that all CPs are harmful to human health under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999 and CPs containing up to 20 carbon atoms are harmful to environment under paragraph 64(a) of CEPA 1999.

In 2009, the Environment Agency of United Kingdom published an environmental risk assessment report on LCCPs and this new information informed an update to the exposure characterization for various subpopulations for LCCPs.

There were no new critical health effects identified for LCCPs. Therefore, the tolerable daily intake (TDI) [i.e. the level of intake to which it is believed that a person may be exposed daily over a lifetime without deleterious effects] of 71 µg/kg-bw per day, derived for non-neoplastic effects in the follow-up assessment in 2008 was used for risk characterization.

Upper-bounding estimates of daily intakes of LCCPs by the general population of Canada are well below the established TDI, and therefore, it is proposed that LCCPs are not harmful to human health as defined in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999.

Proposed conclusion

Based on the information presented, long-chain chlorinated alkanes that have the molecular formula C_nH_xCl_(2n+2-x) in which 18 ≤ n ≤ 38 are not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that may constitute a danger to human life or health as defined in the paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999. The draft update on the human health assessment of long-chain chlorinated alkanes is available on the Government of Canada’s Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances. gc.ca).
