Final Screening Assessment and Proposed Risk Management Approach
In November 2011, the Final Screening Assessment Report on Quinoline was released and the related Notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 145, No. 47 - November 19, 2011 ( PDF Version - 1 545 K).
The final screening assessment report concluded that quinoline meets one or more criteria as set out in section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). Additionally, quinoline meets the criteria for persistence but not for bioaccumulation potential as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations.
A proposed Risk Management Approach Document on Quinoline was also released on this date for a 60-day public comment period. This document builds on the previously released risk management scope document, and outlines, in more depth, the risk management actions for this substance, including the choice of risk management instruments.
Draft Screening Assessment Report and Risk Management Scope
In July 2010, the draft screening assessment report on quinoline was released and the Notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 144, No. 31 - July 31, 2010 ( PDF Version - 1855 K) for a 60-day public comment period. A Risk Management Scope Document was also released on this date. During that period, no comments were received from the public.
Background
Before the launch of the Chemicals Management Plan in 2006, quinoline was selected for Screening Assessment. Subsequently, under the categorization exercise, quinoline was found to meet both the ecological and human health criteria.
