Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Distillate Aromatic Extracts

Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of the following distillate aromatic extract substances.

CAS RN (see note 1a) Name on the Domestic Substances List
64742-04-7 Extracts (petroleum), heavy paraffinic distillate solvent
64742-05-8 Extracts (petroleum), light paraffinic distillate solvent
64742-11-6 Extracts (petroleum), heavy naphthenic distillate solvent

Following the categorization exercise, distillate aromatic extracts (DAEs) under the three Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RNs) 64742-04-7 [Extracts (petroleum), heavy paraffinic distillate solvent], 64742-05-8 [Extracts (petroleum), light paraffinic distillate solvent] and 64742-11-6 [Extracts (petroleum), heavy naphthenic distillate solvent] were identified as priorities for assessment, as they met the categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA.

Aromatic extracts are a class of substances derived from the solvent extraction of crude oil vacuum distillation distillate and residual streams. They are considered to be of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials (UVCBs). CAS RNs 64742-04-7, 64742-05-8 and 64742-11-6 are part of the broad class of aromatic extracts and can be referred to as distillate aromatic extracts since they originate from the vacuum distillation stream. Due to their untreated nature, they have high levels of aromatic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These substances are consumed on-site at refineries and are also transported in Canada via trains and trucks for use at industrial and commercial facilities. They were included in the Petroleum Sector Stream Approach (PSSA) because they are related to the petroleum sector and are complex combinations of hydrocarbons.

Estimation of mixture behaviours was accomplished through the use of a suite of representative structures that are expected to be present in these DAEs. In general, the components of DAEs are poorly soluble in water, are very hydrophobic, and are moderately to poorly volatile, although some will evaporate readily from water. DAEs are expected to predominantly reside in sediment and soil, with some lighter components partitioning to air.

Petroleum-derived oils including distillate aromatic extracts can be used as extender oils in the formulation of plastic and rubber products to achieve elasticity and make brittle materials soft and flexible. Extender oils are also a major ingredient in the production of vehicle tires, and are therefore found in crumb rubber (i.e. bits of recycled tires that can be used in the production of rubberized playground and athletic surfaces). Historically, automobile tires were formulated with high PAH extender oils, although recent changes in domestic manufacturing have seen these replaced with low PAH oils. Therefore, there may be residual general population exposure to these distillate aromatic extracts if previously used as extender oils in tire production, where old tires have been recycled into crumb rubber and incorporated in rubber playground and athletic surfaces. There is the potential that rubber surfaces may release component substances, including PAHs, by off-gassing, through natural surface degradation, and during mechanical abrasion and direct contact with skin. Two DAEs (CAS RNs 64742-11-6 and 64742-04-7) are reported as being in industrial and professional use products such as rubbers, adhesives, sealants, solvents and roofing materials.

For the ecological assessment, environmental concentrations were estimated for major ecological exposure scenarios, including manufacturing of rubber products, manufacturing of other products and runoff from tire wear and road care products that are not mixed with asphalt. Levels of exposure are well below those expected to cause harm, indicating a low risk to aquatic organisms. Harm to sediment-dwelling organisms from DAEs is also unlikely, based on the risk quotients for the sediment compartment derived using the equilibrium approach, which would be the same as those for the aquatic compartment.

Considering all available evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to organisms and the broader integrity of the environment from these substances. It is proposed to conclude that distillate aromatic extracts (CAS RNs 64742-04-7, 64742-05-8 and 64742-11-6) do not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA as they are not entering the environment in quantities or concentrations 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 initial categorization of these distillate aromatic extracts was carcinogenicity, based on classifications by international agencies. Skin painting studies conducted in laboratory animals show skin tumour formation following chronic dermal exposure to these substances. They have also produced positive results in in vitro genotoxicity assays, and exhibit reproductive toxicity in dermally exposed laboratory animals. These effects are attributed to the high PAH content of distillate aromatic extracts.

Exposure and risk to human health was characterized for the distillate aromatic extract CAS RNs 64742-04-7, 64742-05-8 and 64742-11-6, considering that exposures may occur during their production and storage at refineries, during bulk transportation between industrial facilities, and from their potential presence in crumb rubber derived from old tire stocks. Additionally, compositional testing of Canadian marketplace products was used to assess whether these substances are found in products available for purchase by the general population.

The vapour pressure of aromatic extracts is low; therefore, inhalation exposure to these substances during transportation and production and storage at refineries is low. Crumb rubber extracted with biological fluids did not release PAHs; therefore, any oral or dermal exposure to crumb rubber is not expected to give rise to a significant exposure to aromatic extracts. Air monitoring studies that quantified the benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) concentration in air from the off-gassing of rubberized surfaces under ideal weather conditions showed both no increase and only an incremental increase above background B[a]P levels typically found in ambient air. As exposures are either not expected or, if exposure does occur, are expected to be low, risk to human health is likewise considered to be low.

High PAH oils, including these distillate aromatic extracts, have the potential to be used as extender oils in the production of rubber and plastic consumer products. Results from the compositional analysis of commonly available soft rubber and plastic marketplace products in Canada indicate that these distillate aromatic extracts are not being used in these product formulations.

Therefore, it is proposed to conclude that distillate aromatic extracts (CAS RNs 64742-04-7, 64742-05-8 and 64742-11-6) 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.

Proposed conclusion

It is proposed to conclude that distillate aromatic extracts (CAS RNs 64742-04-7, 64742-05-8 and 64742-11-6) do not meet the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

ANNEX

Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Asphalt and Oxidized Asphalt

Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of two substances known as asphalt and oxidized asphalt.

CAS RN (see note 2a) Name on the Domestic Substances List
8052-42-4 Asphalt
64742-93-4 Asphalt, oxidized

Asphalt (CAS RN 8052-42-4) and oxidized asphalt (CAS RN 64742-93-4) were identified as priorities for assessment as they met the categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA. These substances were included in the Petroleum Sector Stream Approach (PSSA) because they are related to the petroleum sector and are considered to be of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials (UVCBs).

Asphalt and oxidized asphalt are complex combinations of high molecular weight organic compounds containing a relatively high proportion of hydrocarbons; carbon (C) numbers are predominantly greater than C25, with high carbon-to-hydrogen ratios. They are residual substances derived from the high temperature vacuum distillation of petroleum. The composition and the physical-chemical properties of asphalt and oxidized asphalt vary depending on the sources of crude oil, processing steps and blending stocks involved in their production.

Asphalt and oxidized asphalt are used primarily (approximately 98%) in the construction of roads and in roofing materials, but they may be found in adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, and other miscellaneous consumer products. Other residual substances in the asphalt group with different CAS RNs might also be used in asphalt formulations if they meet the material specifications. As data on asphalt formulations (final formulated products) generally do not specify a CAS RN, and all residuals are expected to behave similarly when used in these products, the results of the analyses herein on these asphalt formulations for the purpose of assessing asphalt and oxidized asphalt may also apply to other substances in the asphalt group. For the purpose of this assessment, the term “asphalts” is used to refer to different grades and types of asphalt (CAS RN 8052-42-4) and oxidized asphalt (CAS RN 64742-93-4).

Release of components of asphalts to the environment is considered likely to be low based on experimental studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) leaching from paving and roofing asphalt formulations. In addition, asphalt can stabilize and entrap contaminants or other petroleum substances mixed with asphalt, making them unavailable to organisms or the environment.

Based on physical-chemical properties such as high Kow, high Koc, very low vapour pressure and water solubility under environment-relevant conditions, asphalts are not expected to disperse in the environment or to be bioavailable. Modelled ecotoxicity data and results from ecological toxicity studies on bean and corn seeds exposed to oxidized asphalt indicate low toxicity. Use of hot-mix asphalt as lining for fish ponds, and low aquatic toxicity of runoff from unsealed asphalt pavement also indicate that the bioavailability and ecotoxicity of asphalts is very low. Although spills of asphalt materials are reported, asphalts are not likely to disperse in the environment because of their low mobility. The lack of bioavailability and low toxicity of asphalts also indicate that the ecological concern of spilled asphalt materials is considered to be low.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to organisms or the broader integrity of the environment from these substances. It is proposed to conclude that asphalt and oxidized asphalt (CAS RNs 8052-42-4 and 64742-93-4) 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 initial categorization of asphalt and oxidized asphalt was carcinogenicity, based on classifications by international agencies. PAHs and benzene, minor components of asphalt, have been identified by Health Canada and several international regulatory agencies as carcinogens. PAHs (as represented by benzo[a]pyrene equivalents) and benzene were therefore selected as high-hazard components of asphalt for use in characterizing long-term exposure and risk to the general population in the vicinity of asphalt production and storage facilities. Naphthalene, a volatile PAH, was selected to characterize shorter-term exposure to bystanders.

The potential for exposure of the general population to asphalt includes consideration of inhalation exposure in the vicinity of either asphalt-producing and refining industries or of paving operations. Dermal exposure can occur from use of consumer products, including as a result of application of asphalt-based pavement sealant in residential settings. Long-term oral exposure to asphalt components (i.e. PAHs) can occur as asphalt components may migrate from asphalt surfaces indoors and are found in house dust. Risks to human health were characterized for these potential exposures.

For short-term inhalation exposure in the vicinity of paving operations, a margin of exposure based on an upper-bound exposure of a bystander to naphthalene, and the effect level in exposed animals causing a local effect on nasal olfactory epithelium, was considered adequate. Short-term dermal exposure to asphalt from asphalt-containing products is not considered to constitute a risk to human health due to a lack of toxicity exhibited by asphalt in short-term animal studies, and due to negligible dermal absorption of asphalt.

For potential inhalation exposures to asphalt from fugitive and point releases from the production and refinement of asphalt in the vicinity of facilities, margins of exposure between upper-bounding estimates of exposures to benzene and to PAHs, and estimates of cancer potency previously developed for inhalation exposure to benzene and to PAHs, are considered adequate to address uncertainties in health effects and exposure databases.

For potential long-term oral exposure to asphalt components that may migrate indoors over time from asphalt driveway sealcoat (where exposure is through ingestion of house dust that contains asphalt-derived PAHs), margins of exposure between oral exposure to PAHs and a conservative point of departure for benzo[a]pyrene are considered adequate to address uncertainties in health effects and exposure databases.

Therefore, general population exposure to asphalt and oxidized asphalt is not considered to constitute a risk to human health.

Based on the information presented in this screening assessment, it is proposed to conclude that asphalt and oxidized asphalt (CAS RNs 8052-42-4 and 64742-93-4) 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.

Proposed conclusion

It is proposed to conclude that asphalt and oxidized asphalt (CAS RNs 8052-42-4 and 64742-93-4) 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 Government of Canada's Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).
