ANNEX

Summary of the screening assessment of the Heterocycles Group

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 three of seven substances referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Heterocycles Group. Four substances were identified as priorities for assessment as they met the categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA: the three substances listed in the table below and the substance 2-imidazolidinethione (commonly known as ethylene thiourea [ETU]). ETU was included in the draft screening assessment for the Heterocycles Group published on November 11, 2017. However, activities associated with the presence of ETU as a metabolite and a residual in select pesticides are ongoing; therefore, the CEPA conclusion for this substance will be provided in a separate screening assessment. Three of the seven substances were subsequently determined to be of low concern through other approaches, and decisions for these substances are provided in a separate report. footnote 2 Accordingly, this screening assessment addresses the three substances listed in the table below. These three substances will hereinafter be referred to as the Heterocycles Group.

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 of Canada 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.

Return to table 1 note a referrer

In 2011, between 100 000 and 1 000 000 kg of methenamine were reported to be manufactured in Canada, and between 100 000 and 1 000 000 kg were reported to be imported into Canada during the same calendar year according to information submitted pursuant to a CEPA section 71 notice. The largest reported use of methenamine is as a cross-linking agent in phenolic and urea formaldehyde resins and in rubber. Methenamine is consumed during this process. Another reported use is as a chemical intermediate in nitration reactions for explosives production and in the production of fuel tablets. Cosmetics may also contain methenamine at low levels as a preservative. Food packaging materials may also contain methenamine.

In 2011, between 1 000 and 10 000 kg of morpholine were reported to be manufactured in Canada, and between 100 000 and 1 000 000 kg were reported to be imported into Canada during the same calendar year according to information submitted pursuant to a CEPA section 71 notice. Reported primary uses of morpholine include use as an intermediate in the production of rubber accelerators, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, optical brighteners, antioxidants and as an industrial solvent. It is also used in closed water or steam systems to prevent corrosion, as an oil field production chemical and as a solvent and emulsifier in the preparation of wax coatings for fruits and vegetables. Morpholine has also been identified as a component in the manufacture of some food packaging materials (e.g. interior coatings).

In 2011, between 1 000 and 10 000 kg of the substance bearing CAS RN 4174-09-8 were reported to be imported into Canada according to information submitted pursuant to a CEPA section 71 notice. This substance was reported to be used as a colourant for plastic materials and articles, varnishes and coatings. It has been identified for use as a colourant in polystyrene, polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate food packaging materials.

The ecological risks of the substances in the Heterocycles Group were characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC) approach, which is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure with weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining risk classification. Hazard profiles are established primarily on the basis of mode of toxic action, chemical reactivity, food web–derived internal toxicity thresholds, bioavailability, and chemical and biological activity. Metrics considered in the exposure profiles include potential emission rate, overall persistence, and long-range transport potential. A risk matrix is used to assign a low, moderate or high level of potential concern for substances on the basis of their hazard and exposure profiles. The ERC identified the three substances in the Heterocycles Group as having low potential to cause ecological harm.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from methenamine, morpholine and the substance bearing CAS RN 4174-09-8. It is concluded that methenamine, morpholine and the substance bearing CAS RN 4174-09-8 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.

General population exposure to methenamine can occur from the use of cosmetics when it is used as a preservative, when it is used in products available to consumers, and from its use in food packaging materials. For the general population, margins of exposure comparing effect levels for the critical health effects and the estimates of methenamine exposure are considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

Exposure of the general population to morpholine is expected to be limited to the use of a small number of products available to consumers, primarily home and auto polishes and waxes and related auto care products. Morpholine may also be added to some wax coating compounds used on fresh produce, such as apples. There is therefore a potential for dietary exposure to trace levels of morpholine when coated produce is consumed. In the case of food packaging use, morpholine is not a significant source of dietary exposure. There is also the potential for exposure from disinfectant sprays. Health Canada (2002) previously conducted a safety assessment of the use of morpholine in wax coatings used on apples and determined that such use did not present a risk to humans. For the general population, the margins of exposure between morpholine exposure and the critical effect levels identified from laboratory studies are considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.

The substance bearing CAS RN 4174-09-8 may be used as a colourant in food packaging materials though it is not expected to migrate from the packaging material. As exposure is considered to be negligible, risk to human health is considered to be low.

On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that methenamine, morpholine and the substance bearing CAS RN 4174-09-8 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.

Conclusion

It is concluded that methenamine, morpholine and the substance bearing CAS RN 4174-09-8 do not meet the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

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

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Final guideline for Canadian drinking water quality for copper

Pursuant to subsection 55(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of Health hereby gives notice of a final guideline for Canadian drinking water quality for copper. The technical document for this guideline is available on the Water Quality website. This document underwent a public consultation period of 60 days in 2018 and was updated to take into consideration the comments received.

May 27, 2019

 Director General
Safe Environments Directorate

On behalf of the Minister of Health

ANNEX

Guideline

A maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) of 2 mg/L (2 000 µg/L) is established for total copper in drinking water, based on a sample of water taken at the tap. The aesthetic objective (AO) for total copper in drinking water is 1 mg/L (1 000 µg/L).

Executive summary

Copper is present in tap water principally as a result of leaching from copper-containing components of distribution and plumbing systems. Copper has been, and continues to be, broadly used in drinking water applications, including in household pipes and in fittings.

This guideline technical document reviews and assesses all identified health risks associated with copper in drinking water. It assesses new studies and approaches and takes into consideration the availability of appropriate treatment technology in order to propose a MAC that is protective of human health, measurable and achievable by municipal and residential scale treatment technologies. Based on this review, the drinking water guideline for total copper in drinking is a MAC of 2 mg/L (2 000 µg/L) and an AO of 1 mg/L (1 000 µg/L) based on samples taken at the tap. The MAC is developed based on bottle-fed infants (aged zero to six months), the most sensitive sub-population, and is intended to protect all Canadians.

Health effects

Copper is an essential element in humans. Copper deficiency may cause several health effects, but is not expected to be a concern in Canada, based on copper intake from food. The U.S. National Academy of Medicine (formerly called the Institute of Medicine) has established recommended daily allowances of 900 µg/day for adults and 340–890 µg/day for children, as well as tolerable upper intake levels of 10 000 µg/day for adults and between 1 000 and 8 000 µg/day for children.

International agencies have determined that the data available on copper are not sufficient to classify it with respect to carcinogenicity. Short-term exposure to very high levels of copper may result in effects in the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, pain and vomiting, diarrhea). Long-term effects are less well documented; current evidence indicates that, in the general population, chronic exposure to very high levels of copper may lead to effects in the liver and kidney. The MAC was developed based on bottle-fed infants (aged zero to six months) and is considered to be protective of all Canadians for any health effects, both short-term and longer-term.

Aesthetic considerations

The presence of copper can affect the taste of the water and cause the staining of laundry and plumbing fixtures at levels below the MAC. Although there are no adverse effects associated with such levels, they may affect the acceptability of the water by consumers. Although the AO for copper in drinking water is 1 mg/L (1 000 µg/L), some individuals can readily perceive copper at levels below the AO. Nevertheless, corrosion control practices should target the MAC and not the elimination of aesthetic concerns, as this could jeopardize other water quality priorities such as lead control, especially if changes are made without consideration to the water quality impacts. Utilities may choose to use the AO to trigger a site-specific or localized water quality or corrosion investigation.

Exposure

Copper occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust, either in mineral deposits or, less frequently, as a metal. Copper can enter water sources from natural processes, such as soil weathering, and human activities, such as agriculture, mining and manufacturing. The National Plumbing Code of Canada considers copper to be an acceptable material for service lines and plumbing systems. Consequently, copper in drinking water primarily results from the corrosion of copper-containing pipes and fittings in distribution and plumbing systems, depending on the chemistry of the water.

Canadians can be exposed to copper through its presence in food, drinking water, air, soil and consumer products. Although the most significant source of copper intake for the general population is food, the bioavailability of copper in drinking water may be greater than that in food. Based on the physical and chemical properties of copper, inhalation and dermal absorption of copper are not expected from exposure to drinking water.

Analysis and treatment

The establishment of a drinking water guideline must take into consideration the ability to measure the contaminant. There are several methods available for the analysis of total copper in drinking water. Based on the capacity of commercial laboratories in Canada, analytical methods are available to reliably measure total copper in drinking water below the MAC and AO. These methods should include sample preparation to ensure that they are able to detect total copper (i.e. both dissolved and particulate forms).

Copper levels in source water are typically very low. Although there are treatment technologies that can remove copper efficiently at the treatment plant, municipal treatment is not generally an effective strategy. This is because copper is an acceptable material for service lines and plumbing systems. However, in certain water qualities, copper may be released into drinking water from pipes, service lines and brass fittings. The treatment approach for copper is generally focused on corrosion control through approaches such as water quality adjustments and the use of corrosion inhibitors.

As the primary source of copper in drinking water is the leaching from plumbing and distribution system components, drinking water treatment devices offer an effective option at the residential level, although their use should not be considered to be a permanent solution. There are a number of certified residential treatment devices available that can remove copper from drinking water to below the MAC.

International considerations

Drinking water quality guidelines, standards and/or guidance from other national and international organizations may vary due to the age of the assessments as well as differing policies and approaches, including the choice of key study and the use of different consumption rates, body weights and allocation factors.

Various organizations have established values for copper in drinking water. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established a maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) and a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for copper in drinking water at 1.3 mg/L as well as a secondary maximum contaminant level (SMCL) [aesthetic] for copper at 1 mg/L. In addition, the U.S. EPA has established an action level of 1.3 mg/L in its treatment-based Lead and Copper Rule, though a revision of this rule is currently under way. The World Health Organization has established a provisional health-based guideline value of 2 mg/L for copper in drinking water, the European Union directive includes a parametric value of 2 mg/L, and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council has established two levels for copper: an aesthetic value of 1 mg/L and a health-based value of 2 mg/L.
