ANNEX
Summary of the draft screening assessment of the Siloxanes Group
Pursuant to section 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 six of seven substances referred to collectively under the Chemicals Management Plan as the Siloxanes Group. These six substances were identified as priorities for assessment as they met categorization criteria under subsection 73(1) of CEPA. One of the seven substances was subsequently determined to be of low concern for risk to both the environment and human health, and the decision for this substance is provided in a separate report.footnote 1 Accordingly, this screening assessment addresses the six substances listed in the table below, hereinafter referred to as the Siloxanes Group.
| CAS RN table 1 note a | Domestic Substances List name | Common name (abbreviation) |

The substances in the Siloxanes Group do not naturally occur in the environment. According to the information submitted in response to a survey under section 71 of CEPA, 1 000 to 100 000 kg for each of L2, L4, L5, D3 and dvTMDS was reported to be imported into Canada in 2008. In the same year, no Canadian manufacturing activity was reported for these five substances above the reporting threshold of 100 kg. Although cyclomethicone was not reported to be manufactured or imported above the reporting threshold of 100 kg in 2011, it is an ingredient in products available to consumers.
In Canada, L2, L4, L5 and D3 are primarily used as intermediates, solvents, skin conditioning agents, surface active agents, polymers and functional fluids in products available to consumers such as cosmetics, natural health products, electronics, medical devices, adhesives and sealants, as well as in industrial applications such as paints and coatings. L2 and dvTMDS are used as intermediates in the manufacture of polymers and other organic compounds. L5 is in sunscreens available to Canadian consumers and dvTMDS may be used in food packaging materials. Cyclomethicone is used in various products including cosmetics.
The ecological risks of the substances in the Siloxanes Group were characterized using the ecological risk classification (ERC) of organic substances, which is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure based on weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining the risk classification. Hazard profiles are established 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 based on their hazard and exposure profiles. Based on the outcome of the ERC analysis, the substances in the Siloxanes Group are considered unlikely to be causing ecological harm.
Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from substances in the Siloxanes Group. It is proposed to conclude that L2, L4, L5, D3, dvTMDS and cyclomethicone in the Siloxanes Group 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 human health risk assessment, the linear siloxanes (L2, L4 and L5) were considered as a subgroup, D3 and dvTMDS were considered as individual substances, and cyclomethicone is a UVCB. For the general population of Canada, indoor air is the predominant source of exposure from environmental media to the linear siloxanes subgroup and D3. Oral exposure to D3 may occur from eating fish. Exposure to dvTMDS via environmental media or food packaging materials is considered to be negligible. From the use of products available to consumers, the predominant sources of exposure to the linear siloxanes subgroup and D3 are from the use of cosmetics that contain these substances (such as L2 in nail polish drying drops and bandage adhesive remover, L4 in lip balms and D3 in face cream), and from the use of sunscreens containing L5. Exposure of the general population to dvTMDS from the use of products available to consumers is not expected.
Cyclomethicone is primarily composed of three substances previously assessed under CEPA (D4, D5 and D6). For each of these three primary components (D4, D5 and D6), margins of exposure are considered to be adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases. Accordingly, human exposure and human health effects associated with cyclomethicone are not further characterized in this assessment.
In laboratory studies, L2 affects the liver, testes and lungs, whereas L4 affects the liver. L5 may have similar effects, on the basis of a read-across approach used to characterize its critical health effects. D3 resulted in effects including decreased food consumption, body weight, and liver weight. DvTMDS was not identified as posing a high hazard to human health on the basis of classifications by other national or international agencies for carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, developmental toxicity or reproductive toxicity.
For L2, L4, L5, D3 and dvTMDS, estimates of exposure were derived based on levels of substances in environmental media including indoor air as the largest contributor for exposure, and products available to consumers, such as cosmetics. On the basis of these estimates of exposure compared with critical effect levels identified from studies in experimental animals, margins of exposure are considered to be adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.
On the basis of the information presented in this draft screening assessment, it is proposed to conclude that L2, L4, L5, D3, dvTMDS and cyclomethicone 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.
Proposed conclusion
It is proposed to conclude that the six substances in the Siloxanes Group do not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.
The draft screening assessment for this substance is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999
Final guideline for Canadian drinking water quality for uranium
Pursuant to subsection 55(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of Health hereby gives notice of a final guideline for Canadian drinking water quality for uranium. The technical document for this guideline is available on the Water Quality website. This document underwent a public consultation period of 60 days in 2017 and was updated to take into consideration the comments received.

ANNEX
Guideline
A maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) of 0.02 mg/L (20 µg/L) is established for total natural uranium in drinking water. The guideline is based on the chemical toxicity of naturally occurring uranium.
Executive summary
Uranium is widespread in nature and has been identified in many different minerals. It exists in several chemical oxidation states. Although natural uranium is a weakly radioactive substance, the principal health effects associated with natural uranium are due to its chemical toxicity. The maximum acceptable concentration is established based on the chemical toxicity of uranium, and the focus of this document is limited to uranium’s chemical properties. Radiological forms and/or radioactive isotopes of uranium are addressed in a separate document (Health Canada, 2009).
This guideline technical document reviews and assesses all identified health risks associated with natural uranium in drinking water. It incorporates new studies and approaches and takes into consideration the availability of appropriate treatment technology. Based on this review, the drinking water guideline for total uranium re-establishes the maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) of 0.02 mg/L (20 µg/L).
Health effects
With respect to chemical toxicity, international organizations agree that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that oral exposure to natural uranium will cause cancer in humans or animals. Studies in humans suggest that chronic exposure to uranium in drinking water may affect the kidneys. Consequently, the MAC of 0.02 mg/L has been developed based on studies of kidney effects in rats. Exposure through inhalation and skin contact is not considered to be significant.
Exposure
Canadians are primarily exposed to uranium through drinking water and food. Uranium may be found in water in the environment as a result of weathering and leaching from natural deposits, fallout from volcanic eruptions, its release in mill tailings, emissions from the nuclear industry, the use of phosphate fertilizers and the combustion of coal and other fuels. Levels of uranium in drinking water vary greatly across Canada, depending mainly on geological formations and to a lesser extent on human activities in the watershed.
Analysis and treatment
There are several approved analytical methods available to measure total uranium concentration in drinking water at levels well below the MAC.
The concentration of naturally occurring uranium in groundwater depends on factors such as pH, redox potential and the presence of dissolved oxygen and complexing agents. The chemical speciation of uranium in the water supply is important to ensure its successful removal during the treatment process. Most groundwaters contain soluble uranium complexes.
At the municipal level, the best available technologies for the treatment of total uranium are coagulation/filtration, lime softening, ion exchange and reverse osmosis. In addition, management strategies for uranium include practices such as switching to a new source, blending and interconnecting with another water system.
At the residential level, there are no certified residential treatment devices for the reduction of uranium from drinking water. However, drinking water treatment technologies able to effectively remove uranium include ion exchange and reverse osmosis. It is important to note that reverse osmosis systems should be installed only at the point of use, as the treated water may be corrosive to internal plumbing components.
International considerations
Drinking water quality guidelines, standards and/or guidance established by foreign governments or international agencies may vary due to the science available at the time of assessment, as well as the use of different policies and approaches, such as the choice of a key study, and the use of different consumption rates, body weights and allocation factors.
The maximum contaminant level of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the provisional guideline value of the World Health Organization are both 30 µg/L for uranium. The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council has established a guideline 17 µg/L. As of 2018, the European Union has not established a drinking water value for natural uranium.
