ANNEX

Summary of the screening assessment of the Anthraquinones 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 7 of 15 substances referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Anthraquinones Group. These 7 substances were identified as priorities for assessment as they met the categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other human health concerns. The other 8 substances were determined to be of low concern through other approaches, and decisions about these substances are provided in separate reports.footnote 2,footnote 3 Accordingly, this screening assessment addresses the 7 substances listed in the table below. The 7 substances addressed in this screening assessment will hereinafter be referred to as the Anthraquinones Group.

The substances in the Anthraquinones Group are used as colourants in products available to consumers, including cosmetics (e.g. body creams, lipsticks / lip balms, make-up, hair products and face paint), food packaging materials, arts and crafts materials (i.e. stampers), toys, do-it-yourself products (e.g. specialty lubricants, epoxy coatings), and textiles. According to information submitted in response to a survey conducted under section 71 of CEPA, the following quantities were imported in the 2011 calendar year: between 1 000 and 10 000 kg of Solvent Violet 13, between 10 000 and 100 000 kg of Pigment Blue 60, between 1 000 and 10 000 kg of Solvent Violet 59, less than 100 kg of Solvent Blue 36, between 100 and 1 000 kg of each of Disperse Red 60 and Acid Blue 239, and between 1 000 and 10 000 kg of the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8. No manufacturing quantities were reported for any of the substances in this group above the reporting threshold of 100 kg in the 2011 calendar year.

The ecological risks of the substances in the Anthraquinones 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 Anthraquinones Group are 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 Solvent Violet 13, Pigment Blue 60, Solvent Violet 59, Solvent Blue 36, Disperse Red 60, Acid Blue 239 and the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8. It is concluded that Solvent Violet 13, Pigment Blue 60, Solvent Violet 59, Solvent Blue 36, Disperse Red 60, Acid Blue 239 and the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8 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.

For the general population of Canada, the predominant source of exposure to substances in the Anthraquinones Group is the use of products available to consumers that contain these substances. For each substance, estimates of exposure were derived for uses with the greatest potential for exposure. The predominant route of exposure is dermal, with some uses also resulting in oral or inhalation exposure. Estimates of potential exposure to Solvent Violet 13 were derived from the use of cosmetics. Estimates of potential exposure to Pigment Blue 60 were derived from the use of craft products (i.e. stampers). Estimates of potential exposure to Solvent Violet 59 were derived from the mouthing of plastic toys. Estimates of potential exposure to Solvent Blue 36 were derived from the use of hair conditioner and specialty lubricants. Estimates of potential exposures to Disperse Red 60 and Acid Blue 239 were derived from contact with textiles. Estimates of potential exposure to the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8 were derived from the application of epoxy coating products.

Pigment Blue 60 has been reviewed internationally through the Joint FAO/WHO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations / World Health Organization) Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). In laboratory studies, Pigment Blue 60 was a reproductive toxicant, but was not genotoxic or carcinogenic. Solvent Blue 36 was considered to be a developmental toxicant. Given some limitations in the health effects information about other substances in the Anthraquinones Group, a read-across approach based on the health effects information for Solvent Blue 36 and anthraquinone informed the health effects characterization of these substances. Based on anthraquinone, the critical non-cancer health effects for Solvent Violet 13, Solvent Violet 59, and Disperse Red 60 include kidney, liver, spleen, and bone marrow toxicity, and based on Solvent Blue 36, the critical non-cancer health effects for Acid Blue 239 and the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8 are developmental effects. With respect to cancer effects, all substances in the Anthraquinones Group except Pigment Blue 60 are considered to be possibly carcinogenic, given their common structural backbone, anthraquinone. Margins between levels of exposure of the general population from daily use of Solvent Violet 13 in certain cosmetics (body cream, spray perfume) and levels associated with non-cancer health effects were considered potentially inadequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases. Margins between levels of exposure of the general population from daily use of Solvent Violet 13 in certain cosmetics (lip balm, lipstick, body cream, permanent hair dye, spray perfume and face paint) and cancer effects were also considered potentially inadequate. Margins of exposure were, however, considered adequate for other uses of Solvent Violet 13 and for other substances in the Anthraquinones Group.

On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that Solvent Violet 13 meets the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA as it is entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.

On the basis of the information presented in this screening assessment, it is concluded that Pigment Blue 60, Solvent Violet 59, Solvent Blue 36, Disperse Red 60, Acid Blue 239, and the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8 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.

Overall conclusion

It is concluded that Solvent Violet 13 meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA. It is concluded that Pigment Blue 60, Solvent Violet 59, Solvent Blue 36, Disperse Red 60, Acid Blue 239 and the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8 do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.

It is concluded that Solvent Violet 13 meets the persistence criteria, but not the bioaccumulation criteria as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations of CEPA.

Consideration for follow-up

Although a risk to human health or the environment has not been identified at current levels of exposure, there may be a concern if exposure to Solvent Violet 59, Solvent Blue 36, Disperse Red 60, Acid Blue 239 and the substance bearing CAS RN 74499-36-8 were to increase. As a result, these substances may be considered in future initiatives to track their commercial status or identify new uses.

The screening assessment for the Anthraquinones Group and the risk management approach document for Solvent Violet 13 are available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.
