Screening assessment : chlorhexidine and its salts. : En14-379/2019E-PDF
"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 chlorhexidine and its salts. These substances were identified as priorities for assessment as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA or were considered a priority on the basis of other concerns. In July 2013, a draft screening assessment for chlorhexidine diacetate (then referred to as chlorhexidine acetate) was published proposing that it was not harmful to human health, but was harmful to the environment. Significant new information subsequently became available regarding other potential sources of exposure to the chlorhexidine moiety. As a result, a subsequent draft screening assessment was published on August 19, 2017 that assessed the chlorhexidine moiety to consider potential impacts on the environment and human health with respect to exposures from other potential sources of chlorhexidine"--Synopsis, page ii.
