Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Ethylbenzene

Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of benzene, ethyl- also known as ethylbenzene (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number 100-41-4). Ethylbenzene was identified as a priority for assessment on the basis of “greatest potential” for human exposure and also because it was classified by other agencies on the basis of carcinogenicity.

Ethylbenzene occurs naturally in the environment in crude oil and, as a result, can be a component of vehicle and aviation fuels. It occurs naturally in some natural gas streams, and as a result of incomplete combustion of natural materials, making it a component of forest fire smoke. Ethylbenzene is a component of mixed xylenes, which are used as solvents in various applications including in paints, stains, and automotive cleaners. Ethylbenzene is also synthetically produced and mainly used in the manufacture of styrene. Styrene is then used to manufacture various types of polymers, such as polystyrene. Ethylbenzene is used in the oil and gas industry in a number of oilfield applications, such as a non-emulsifier, as an acid additive and as a surfactant in hydraulic fracturing fluids. Minor applications of the synthetically produced ethylbenzene include use as a solvent and for the production of other chemicals such as diethylbenzene.

The most recent available information on ethylbenzene production in Canada is from 2003, during which a total of 906 000 tonnes of ethylbenzene were produced. Approximately 545 tonnes of ethylbenzene were imported into Canada in 2009, and approximately 51.6 tonnes were exported in the same year. Results from the Notice with Respect to certain substances on the Domestic Substances List (DSL), published under section 71 and conducted for the year 2000, indicated that approximately 1 700 000 tonnes of ethylbenzene at a concentration greater than 1% were manufactured in and imported into Canada during that year, mainly by companies in the petrochemical sector. Ethylbenzene has been internationally identified as a high production volume (HPV) chemical.

Ethylbenzene is included in the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI), to which facilities manufacturing, importing, or otherwise using more than 10 tonnes per year of the substance must report their releases. In 2011, facilities across Canada reported to the NPRI on-site environmental releases totalling approximately 325 tonnes, transfers for disposal totalling 1 800 tonnes, and transfers for recycling totalling 541 tonnes.

Ethylbenzene has been detected in ambient and indoor air, drinking water, surface water, groundwater, soil, and biota, but not in sediment in Canada. Ethylbenzene has also been detected in various food items in various countries. Ethylbenzene has been identified in products, such as liquid and aerosol coatings, caulking, lacquers, stains and varnishes, and building materials. Ethylbenzene has also been measured in blood samples from individuals living in the United States.

Based on its physical and chemical properties and half-lives in air, surface water and groundwater, wastewater treatment systems, aquifer, soil, and sediments, ethylbenzene is expected to degrade relatively rapidly in water, soil, and sediment, but is not expected to degrade quickly in air. It is therefore persistent in air but not in water, soil, or sediment. Ethylbenzene has a low potential to accumulate in organisms or biomagnify in trophic food chains. Therefore, it is proposed that the substance meets the persistence criteria but not the bioaccumulation criteria as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA 1999. In addition, the available toxicity data indicate that ethylbenzene is moderately toxic to aquatic and terrestrial species.

For this Screening Assessment, the predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) in air, surface water, sediment, and soil do not exceed concentrations associated with effects, even when conservative scenarios are used. The risk quotient (RQ) obtained for groundwater exceeded a value of 1 in a conservative scenario, which suggests potential risk to organisms living in groundwater near landfills. However, given the uncertainty associated with the relevance of the available toxicity data, the extent of risks is unclear.

Based on the information available, there is low risk of harm to organisms or the broader integrity of the environment from this substance. It is therefore proposed to conclude that ethylbenzene does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA 1999, as it 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.

The critical health effects associated with exposure to ethylbenzene are considered to be tumour induction and non-cancer systemic effects, primarily on the auditory system and on the liver, kidney and pituitary glands. Minor developmental effects, haematological effects, effects on the endocrine system (thyroid hyperplasia), and on the central nervous system were observed at higher dose levels and following prolonged exposure periods.

The general population of Canada is exposed to ethylbenzene from environmental media, food, and the use of consumer products. The margins between levels associated with effects in experimental animals and upper-bounding estimates of exposure from environmental media (including vehicle interior air), food, and from scenarios, such as pumping gasoline or living near service stations are considered to be adequate to address uncertainties related to the health effects and exposure for both cancer and non-cancer effects. However, margins between upper-bounding estimates of exposure from use of certain consumer products (i.e. concrete sealant, lacquer/stain/varnish) and critical effect levels are considered potentially inadequate to address uncertainties related to the health effects and exposure.

Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that ethylbenzene meets the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999, as it is 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.

Proposed conclusion

Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that ethylbenzene meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

The draft Screening Assessment, as well as the risk management scope document for the substance, is available on the Government of Canada's Chemical Substances Web site (www. chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).

ANNEX

Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Hexachloroethane

Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of hexachloroethane, Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number 67-72-1. Hexachloroethane was identified as a priority for assessment as it had been found to meet categorization criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation and inherent toxicity to aquatic life. Hexachloroethane was also classified by other agencies as a possible carcinogen to humans according to IARC (Group 2B) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (Group C).

Hexachloroethane is not known to occur naturally. Hexachloroethane was previously imported in Canada for use as a chemical intermediate, as a flux agent for grain refining and degassing of aluminum alloys, as a flame retardant in industrial laminating resins and as a reactant in military smoke ammunition. Recent information indicates that small quantities of hexachloroethane continue to be imported and used for degassing of aluminum alloys. In Canada, hexachloroethane is not intentionally manufactured for commercial distribution; rather, it is formed during other processes in the chlorinated chemical industry and can also be produced as a by-product of the chlorination of water and sewage and the incineration of chlorinated hydrocarbons. Based on the results of a survey conducted under section 71 of CEPA 1999 for the year 2000, approximately 150 tonnes of hexachloroethane were manufactured in Canada and between 10 and 100 tonnes were imported into Canada.

The use of hexachloroethane is slowly being phased out in Canada and internationally. Based on reported use patterns, hexachloroethane is expected to be released mainly to air, with smaller releases to water and soil.

Based on its physical and chemical properties, hexachloroethane is not expected to degrade quickly in the environment and is persistent in air, water and soil. Hexachloroethane does not have the potential to accumulate in organisms or biomagnify in trophic food chains. The substance therefore meets the persistence criteria but not the bioaccumulation criteria as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA 1999. Empirical acute aquatic toxicity values also indicate that the substance is highly hazardous to aquatic organisms.

For the ecological screening assessment, a number of models were run, using conservative scenarios and assumptions, to determine concentrations of hexachloroethane in air, water and sediment. The predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) in water and air do not exceed concentrations associated with effects, even when using conservative scenarios and assumptions. Although the measured concentrations of hexachloroethane in sediments exceeded effect levels, the data are older and the concentrations were from an area where known releases have ceased and where remediation activities have taken place.

Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that hexachloroethane does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA 1999, as it 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.

The principal source of exposure of the general population to hexachloroethane is indoor air. Intakes from ambient air, drinking water and soil are expected to be negligible. Food was not considered to be a source of hexachloroethane exposure.

Based principally upon the weight-of-evidence evaluations of international agencies, a critical effect for the characterization of risk to human health is carcinogenicity. Following chronic oral exposure to hexachloroethane, significant increases in the incidence of liver tumours and kidney tumours were observed in mice and rats, respectively. Increased incidences of pheochromocytomas of the adrenal gland were also observed in hexachloroethane-exposed rats. However, results of assays for genotoxicity were generally negative. Other effects observed in experimental animals exposed to hexachloroethane include non-cancer effects in the kidney, as well as developmental toxicity at higher levels of exposure.

The margin between the estimates of intake of hexachloroethane by the general population and the critical non-cancer effect level for renal toxicity in experimental animals is considered adequate to account for uncertainty in the health effects and exposure databases.

On the basis of the adequacy of margins between exposure and critical effect levels, it is proposed to conclude that hexachloroethane does not meet the criteria set out in paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999, as it 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.

Proposed conclusion

Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that hexachloroethane does not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

Because this substance is listed on the Domestic Substances List, it is not subject to notification under the New Substance Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers). However, given its hazardous properties, there is concern that new activities that have not been identified or assessed under CEPA 1999 could lead to this substance meeting the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. Therefore, it is recommended to amend the Domestic Substances List, under subsection 87(3) of the Act, to indicate that subsection 81(3) of the Act applies with respect to this substance, so that any significant new activity is notified and undergoes ecological and human health risk assessments before the substance is imported, manufactured or used for the significant new activity.

The draft Screening Assessment for this substance is available on the Government of Canada's Chemical Substances Web site (www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca).
