Adding Substances to Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act
Quinoline was determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) and therefore was proposed to be added to Schedule 1.
- Proposed Order adding quinoline:
Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 145, No. 51 – December 17, 2011 ( PDF Version - 5372 K)
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 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. 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. There is a 60-day public comment period on the proposed risk management approach document, from November 19, 2011 to January 18, 2012. Information on how to submit comments is provided in the proposed risk management approach document.
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.
Background
Before the launch of the Chemicals Management Plan in 2006, a Pilot Project for screening assessments was initiated to apply new tools and approaches to a subset of substances on the Domestic Substances List, such as quinoline, that were anticipated to meet the ecological or human health categorization criteria. Subsequently, under the categorization exercise, quinoline was found to meet both the ecological and human health criteria.
