Therefore, although the mode of induction of tumours has not been fully elucidated, it cannot be precluded that the tumours observed in experimental animals resulted from direct interaction with genetic material, for which there may be a probability of harm at any level of exposure (Canada 2011). 63/88. As a result, the Ministers will develop a regulation or instrument respecting preventive or control actions to protect the health of Canadians and the environment from the potential effects of exposure to this substance. 1999. It is therefore a possible candidate for future addition to the Environmental Emergency Regulations. [MOEE, 1997] Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy.

[cited 2009 Mar 17]. The RM Scope indicated that Environment Canada proposed to consult with provincial and municipal partners to determine the status of any ongoing or completed remediation programs at former coal gasification and industrial sites, as well as existing or proposed provincial regulatory instruments with respect to the management of contaminated sites that may contain quinoline. The proposal was implemented by an amendment to O.Reg 244/97 (under the Aggregate Resources Act) by O.Reg. 26 p. + annex. National overview of abandoned coal gasification works in Canada. 2000a. As exposures of Canadians to quinoline and existing environmental releases of quinoline are considered to be low under the current use conditions, the proposed environmental and health risk management objective is to prevent increases in exposure.

224/07) PIBS 6245. Quinoline is naturally associated with coal and coal-derived compounds such as coal tar and creosote (Canada 2011). An exposure scenario was designed whereby a contaminated groundwater plume containing quinoline develops from a pure coal tar pool in the soil and eventually comes into contact with surface water. Environment Canada.

Environmental protection series: EPS 1/MM/7. [MOEE, 1995].

The proposed Risk Management Scope document for quinoline indicated that Environment Canada would conduct a regulatory gap analysis to verify that handling and storage requirements for coal tar and creosote at existing facilities would prevent the release of quinoline to the environment. 1993. Quinoline is listed on Schedule 1 under the, CCME Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life of 3.4 μg/L (CCME 1999). In Ontario, the applicable regulatory regulations include: • Ontario EPA • Ontario Regulation (O. CEPA 1999 requires the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health (the Ministers) to categorize all substances on the Domestic Substances List (DSL). 46.

Quinoline has been detected in a variety of media in Canada.

The proposed regulation or instrument respecting preventative or control actions in relation to quinoline will be published in theCanada Gazette, Part 1, no later than November 19, 2013, as per the timelines legislated in CEPA 1999.

Quinolines and isoquinolines. The Government of Canada plans to implement Significant New Activity provisions under CEPA 1999 to this substance. In addition, as part of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, Cycle 2 (2009–2011), approximately 5600 households across the country will have their indoor air sampled for a number of airborne substances, including quinoline.

See Annex 1 for a complete list of these measures.

10 employees) or undertaking specified activities (such as incineration), releases, disposals and transfers for recycling of quinoline would be required to be reported annually to Environment Canada if the threshold of 10 tonnes at 1% weight concentration (except for by-products and mine tailings), is exceeded. 1990, c. E.19. stream [US, 1972] United States Clean Water Act. At a federal level, following risk assessments on both PAHs (1994) and “creosote-impregnated waste materials from creosote-contaminated sites” (1993), these substances were added to Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999, and several risk management measures were implemented to reduce environmental releases of PAHs and to prevent the creation of creosote-contaminated sites. 1996.

Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Toxics Release Inventory. Quinoline has been measured in the atmosphere of urban areas. These measures apply at various points where quinoline could be released to the environment and include requirements for effluent monitoring and quality (PAH limits exist for some facilities), spill containment and spill contingency planning, and disposal of wastes. A risk management objective is a target expected to be achieved for a given substance by the implementation of risk management regulations, instrument(s) and/or tool(s).

Particular consideration has been given to risk quotient analyses, persistence, inherent toxicity, environmental realism of the exposure scenario used to derive predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) and widespread occurrence in the environment. It is estimated that a total of 10 500 ± 50% tonnes of coal tar-based pavement sealants are sold in Canada per year.

Quinoline is present in coal tar at levels of less than 1% by weight (Canada 2011). The estimate of exposure from consumer products did not contribute significantly to the estimate of exposure from environmental media, suggesting that consumer products are not the main source of quinoline in indoor air. Environment Canada. under Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. Currently, in Canada and elsewhere, coal tar is recovered from coke ovens at integrated steel mills and is used to manufacture coal tar pitch, creosote and naphthalene. Quinoline concentrations measured in wet sealants and dried sealants showed that 80-90% of quinoline was released to air within 48 hours of application (Diamond Environmental Group, 2011).
