Batch 11 - Call for Information
The Government of Canada is now collecting information from industry and other stakeholders for 16 substances in Batch 11 of the “Challenge” under the Chemicals Management Plan.
Why is the Government of Canada assessing these substances?
- Approximately 200 substances were identified through the Categorization process as high priorities for assessment under the “Challenge” component of the Chemicals Management Plan.
- There are 16 substances that have been assigned to Batch 11. These substances are industrial chemicals, which may be found in some consumer products. Two substances, furfural and glyoxal, are produced naturally in the environment as a combustion product of burned wood.
- Five of these substances were identified as a potential concern for human health based on their classification by international organizations for potential or known harm. Of these, four were also identified as having a high potential of exposure and one substance, glyoxal, as having a moderate potential for exposure to Canadians.
- The other 11 substances were identified as a potential concern for the environment, based on the ecological Categorization criteria.
- The last extensive information gathering effort by the Government of Canada for these substances dates back to 1984-1986.
What is the Government of Canada doing?
- The “Challenge” involves collecting the new information and data required on the properties and uses of these substances from individuals and companies that manufacture, import or use the chemicals.
- This information and data will be used by the Government of Canada to conduct evaluations based on science, called screening assessments.
- The results of these screening assessments will help the Government of Canada decide if further actions may be necessary to protect the health of Canadians and their environment from any potential risks posed by these substances.
