Screening assessment : fatty acids and derivatives group.: En14-418/2020E-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 9 of 16 substances referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Fatty Acids and Derivatives Group. The 9 substances in this assessment 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 human health or ecological considerations. Fats and glyceridic oils, margosa (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CAS RN) 8002-65-1) was included in the draft screening assessment for the Fatty Acids and Derivatives Group published on August 18, 2018; however, based on additional information received, this UVCB (Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products or Biological Materials) substance requires further assessment. Further evaluation of this substance will be provided in a separate screening assessment. Four of the 16 substances were subsequently determined to be of low concern through other approaches, and decisions for these substances are provided in separate reports. Additionally, two substances were placed into another substance group to which they are more appropriately suited on the basis of chemical structure and uses"--Synopsis, page i.
