ANNEX

Summary of the draft screening assessment of the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group

Pursuant to section 68 or 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 four substances referred to collectively as the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group. Substances in this group were identified as priorities for assessment as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RNs footnote 2), the Domestic Substances List (DSL) names, and the common names of these substances are listed in the table below.

Abbreviations: N/A, not available

The substances in the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group are derived from naturally occurring biological materials. The composition of the yeast extract, protein hydrolyzates, collagen hydrolyzates, and isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen varies depending on the source of the material and manufacturing conditions. All four substances were included in a survey issued pursuant to section 71 of CEPA. Between 100 000 and 1 000 000 kg of yeast extract, 10 000 and 100 000 kg of protein hydrolyzates, and 67 702 kg of collagen hydrolyzates were imported to Canada for the reporting year of 2011. For the same year, no import volumes were reported for isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen and no manufacture volumes were reported for any of the substances in the group in Canada above the reporting threshold of 100 kg. Reported uses include building or construction materials, food and beverage, nutritional product for animal feed, and personal care. More specifically, in Canada, substances in this group may be used in food as flavouring agents, for nutritional purposes in products such as protein supplements and infant formula, and in a number of products available to consumers, including natural health products and cosmetics. In addition, collagen hydrolyzates and yeast extract are formulants in pest control products.

The ecological risks of the substances in the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group were characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC), 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 based principally on metrics regarding 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. Based on the outcome of the ERC analysis, substances in the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group are considered unlikely to be causing ecological harm.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from the four substances in the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group. It is proposed to conclude that yeast extract, protein hydrolyzates, collagen hydrolyzates and isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen 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.

With respect to human health, the hazard profiles of a variety of protein hydrolyzates of both plant and animal origin, which are representative of the substance protein hydrolyzates in the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group, show that no adverse effects have been observed in laboratory studies at doses up to the limit dose of 1 000 mg/kg bw/day. Similarly, for yeast extract and collagen hydrolyzates, there were no adverse effects reported in several laboratory studies. For isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen, based on information on its individual reaction components isostearic acid and collagen hydrolyzates, and on other structurally similar amino acid alkyl amides, this substance is not expected to be associated with adverse health effects. Therefore, in consideration of the available toxicological information on a representative set of protein hydrolyzates (including those derived from yeast and collagen) and substances related to isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen, the substances in the Protein Derivatives and Yeast Extract Group are considered to be of low hazard potential and therefore the risk to human health is considered to be low.

On the basis of the information presented in this draft screening assessment, it is proposed to conclude that yeast extract, protein hydrolyzates, collagen hydrolyzates and isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen 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 yeast extract, protein hydrolyzates, collagen hydrolyzates and isostearoyl hydrolyzed collagen 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 Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.

ANNEX

Summary of the screening assessment of dimethoxymethane

Pursuant to section 68 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of methane, dimethoxy-, hereinafter referred to as dimethoxymethane. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) for dimethoxymethane is 109-87-5. Dimethoxymethane was identified as a priority for assessment on the basis of other human health concerns.

Dimethoxymethane occurs naturally in a limited number of food products. In the calendar year of 2011, there were no reports of manufacture or import of dimethoxymethane into Canada above the reporting threshold of 100 kg from a survey issued pursuant to section 71 of CEPA (Environment Canada 2013). In Canada, it is primarily used as a solvent in products available to consumers, including cosmetics, cleaning products, paints and coatings, spray adhesives, and batteries.

The ecological risk of dimethoxymethane was characterized using the ecological risk classification of organic substances (ERC), 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 based principally on metrics regarding 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. Based on the outcome of the ERC analysis, dimethoxymethane is considered unlikely to be causing ecological harm.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from dimethoxymethane. It is concluded that dimethoxymethane does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, 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.

Dimethoxymethane is considered to be of low hazard potential to humans given that no adverse effects or organ-specific toxicity were observed at inhalation exposures as high as 10 068 ppm (31 334 mg/m footnote 1) in rats, and considering the available information indicating a lack of genotoxic, mutagenic or developmental effects. As dimethoxymethane is considered to be of low hazard potential, the risk to human health is considered to be low.

On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that dimethoxymethane does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, 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.

Overall conclusion

It is therefore concluded that dimethoxymethane does not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

The screening assessment for this substance is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.

Whereas a summary of the screening assessment conducted on dinoseb pursuant to paragraphs 68(b) and (c) of the Act is annexed hereby;

And whereas it is concluded that the substance meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act,

Notice therefore is hereby given that the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health (the ministers) propose to recommend to Her Excellency the Governor in Council that this substance be added to Schedule 1 of the Act.

ANNEX

Summary of the screening assessment of dinoseb

Pursuant to section 68 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of phenol, 2-(1-methylpropyl)-4,6-dinitro-, commonly known as dinoseb. The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) for dinoseb is 88-85-7. This substance was identified as a priority for assessment on the basis of human health concerns.

Dinoseb was used in Canada as an herbicide until 2001, when all herbicidal uses were discontinued. The largest current use in Canada is as a polymerization retarder in the production of styrene monomer. Information obtained under the export notification provisions of the Rotterdam Convention and from follow-up discussions with industry indicates that between 100 000 and 1 000 000 kg of dinoseb was imported into Canada in 2015. Data obtained from the Canadian Border Services Agency indicates that smaller quantities of a related substance, dinoseb acetate, were imported into Canada between 2011 and 2015 by several companies for other unknown uses. Dinoseb acetate will dissociate to dinoseb in the environment and therefore could be contributing to total dinoseb exposure levels.

Releases of dinoseb to surface water are possible and, according to information on use patterns, these releases could be continuous. In water, dinoseb will hydrolyze slowly, and it is not readily biodegradable. Degradation by photolysis can occur at a moderate rate, but will vary depending on factors such as water depth and turbidity. Overall, it is expected to persist in water. Dinoseb is slightly persistent in air, although significant releases to that medium are not expected. Dinoseb is not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.

Dinoseb is a reactive chemical whose principal mode of action is the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, which results in the interference of energy synthesis. Dinoseb is hazardous to various forms of aquatic organisms, as well as to birds and mammals. Dinoseb has effects on reproduction (embryotoxicity), survival and growth (changes in metabolism and abnormal development), and binds to protein and DNA. Empirical studies, in vitro assays, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modelling all indicate potential for adverse effects in aquatic organisms at low concentrations.

There are historical environmental monitoring data for dinoseb from the time it was used as an herbicide, as well as from shortly after it was discontinued for that use. However, there are limited current environmental monitoring data for dinoseb in surface water, and no current data for dinoseb in air, sediment or soil in Canada. An exposure analysis was conducted to estimate the predicted environmental concentration of dinoseb in surface water due to industrial releases. A risk quotient analysis for this scenario indicates that there is a possible risk of harm to aquatic organisms from dinoseb. The potential for harm is supported by other lines of evidence, including persistence and long-range transport in water. Given the high hazard of dinoseb to aquatic organisms, even very low levels of exposure may pose a risk to the environment.

Dinoseb has previously been assessed through the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Cooperative Chemicals Programme, and the OECD Screening and Information Dataset Initial Assessment Report (SIAR) was used to inform the health effects section of this screening assessment. The main endpoints of concern for dinoseb are reproductive and developmental toxicity, based on effects on sperm parameters in male rats and the subsequent decrease in gestation index in an oral study, and maternal and fetal toxicity, as determined from an oral study in rats and a dermal study in rabbits. Dinoseb is no longer used as a pesticide, nor is it used in products available to consumers. Recent drinking water monitoring data from various municipalities across Canada show no detection of dinoseb. Exposure of the general population in Canada to dinoseb through environmental media, food, or the use of products is not expected. Any population exposures resulting from potential releases to surface waters from industrial uses would still be several orders of magnitude less than levels associated with health effects. Given these considerations, the potential risk to human health is deemed to be low.

Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this screening assessment, there is a risk of harm to the environment from dinoseb. It is concluded that dinoseb meets the criteria under paragraph 64(a) of CEPA, as it is entering or may enter 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. However, it is concluded that dinoseb does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(b) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends. It is also concluded that dinoseb does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

Overall conclusion

Therefore, it is concluded that dinoseb meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

It has also been determined that dinoseb meets the persistence criteria but not the bioaccumulation criteria as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA.

The screening assessment and the risk management approach document for this substance are available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.
