Environment Canada

Environment Canada (2009) has 14 metal substances regulated under the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) (Table 7.3). The NPRI is Canada s legislated, publicly accessible inventory of pollutant releases (to air, water, and land), disposals, and transfers for recycling (Environment Canada 2009).

Appendix 1 contains a number of references and links to chemical lists and resources to help identify chemicals of concern. In addition, it maybe useful to review the criteria used to classify substances via EU s Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC), Environment Canada s Ecological Categorization of Substances on the Domestic Substances List, or Health Canada s Categorization of Substances on the Domestic Substances List when establishing your organization s criteria for selecting chemicals of concern.

Comparison of Effectiveness Tests. Three laboratory methods were compared the revised standard dispersant effectiveness test used and required for regulation in the United States, the swirling flask test (developed by Environment Canada), and the IFP-dilution test (used in France and other European countries) [1693]. Six test oils and three dispersants were evaluated. It was concluded that the three tests gave similar precision results, but that the swirling flask test was fastest, cheapest, simplest, and required the least operator skill. 

A study by Environment Canada and the U.S. Minerals Management Service attempted to develop a standard test for emulsion breaking agents [586]. Nine types of shaker test methods were tried. Although the results are comparable with different tests, a stable water-in-oil emulsion must be used to yield reproducible results. Tests with unstable emulsions showed nonrepro-ducible and inconsistent results.

Toxicology and environmental health studies often lack a firm foundation of baseline data, and the NASGLP is a perfect starting point for a baseline data survey. During the field component of the survey, the crews collected two composite samples. One represented the top 5 cm of the soil directly below the litter layer (which will include a lot of the airborne components if they are present), and a second came from the 0-30-cm interval, independent of which soil horizon this may represent. Within this interval (the active layer), most of the interactions between biota and the non-living soil components take place, and thus is the important interval for this type if study. Environment Canada s Biological Methods Division selected one of the northern New Brunswick sites to collect a bulk sample in an attempt to create reference sites across Canada for standardized toxicity test methods.
