Book excerpt: The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a horizontal initiative of the federal government involving joint actions by Health Canada (HC) and Environment Canada (EC) with a goal of mitigating threats posed by existing chemical substances to human health and the environment. A particular focus of the CMP is the assessment of risks posed by existing high priority chemical substances in commercial use and implementation of appropriate risk management measures as determined to be necessary. The evaluation examined the implementation, delivery and results of the CMP from its inception in December 2006 to December 2010. ...

Book excerpt: In December 2006, the Government of Canada embarked on a plan to protect Canadians and their environment from dangerous chemicals in industrial and consumer products. The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) seeks to monitor, assess, and regulate the effects of particular substances, including those on the Domestic Substances List (DSL).

Book excerpt: In December 2006, the Government of Canada embarked on a plan to protect Canadians and their environment from dangerous chemicals in industrial and consumer products. The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) seeks to monitor, assess, and regulate the effects of particular substances, including those on the Domestic Substances List (DSL). Of these substances, 500 were considered high priorities for monitoring. This is a report card on the three CMP initiatives addressing these high-priority substances. These initiatives are The Challenge to Industry, The Petroleum Sector Stream Approach, and The Significant New Activity Approach. Substances within these approaches have been or are being assessed to determine if they meet one or more Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) 1999 Section 64 criteria such that they are "toxic" in Canada. Substances found to be "toxic" could either have nothing done about them, be added to the Priority Substances List for further assessment, or be added to the Toxic Substances List (TSL) (i.e., Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999) for preventive or control actions, (via CEPA 1999-enabled tools), to be taken. Risk management under acts, regulations, et cetera outside of CEPA's domain may be taken on substances not yet added to the TSL.

Book excerpt: Chemical substances are found everywhere in our environment. Whether it be at home, outdoors, or in the workplace, we are continuously coming into contact with various chemicals through our air, water, food, cosmetics, clothes, personal care products and everyday household items (Cooper & Vanderlinden, 2009; Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment, 2008). As our detection methods improve, we are forced to confront the evidence of these exposures: biomonitoring studies now show that nearly everyone has measurable amounts of almost all known toxic chemicals stored somewhere in their bodies.

Book excerpt: To manage the thousands of chemicals in commercial use, decision makers around the world rely on information derived from assessments that examine the risks these substances may pose to human health and the environment, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Program, Canada's Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), Australia's Inventory Multi-tiered Assessment and Prioritisation (IMAP) framework, and the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme and International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). This report examines: (1) how selected foreign programs conduct risk assessment activities to understand the human health risks of certain chemicals; and (2) how Canada manages the human health risks of chemicals identified as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), 1999. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes EnvStats, a new comprehensive R package for environmental statistics and the successor to the S-PLUS module EnvironmentalStats for S-PLUS (first released in 1997). EnvStats and R provide an open-source set of powerful functions for performing graphical and statistical analyses of environmental data, bringing major environmental statistical methods found in the literature and regulatory guidance documents into one statistical package, along with an extensive hypertext help system that explains what these methods do, how to use these methods, and where to find them in the environmental statistics literature. EnvStats also includes numerous built-in data sets from regulatory guidance documents and the environmental statistics literature. This book shows how to use EnvStats and R to easily: * graphically display environmental data * plot probability distributions * estimate distribution parameters and construct confidence intervals on the original scale for commonly used distributions such as the lognormal and gamma, as well as do this nonparametrically * estimate and construct confidence intervals for distribution percentiles or do this nonparametrically (e.g., to compare to an environmental protection standard) * perform and plot the results of goodness-of-fit tests * compute optimal Box-Cox data transformations * compute prediction limits and simultaneous prediction limits (e.g., to assess compliance at multiple sites for multiple constituents) * perform nonparametric estimation and test for seasonal trend (even in the presence of correlated observations) * perform power and sample size computations and create companion plots for sampling designs based on confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, prediction intervals, and tolerance intervals * deal with non-detect (censored) data * perform Monte Carlo simulation and probabilistic risk assessment * reproduce specific examples in EPA guidance documents EnvStats combined with other R packages (e.g., for spatial analysis) provides the environmental scientist, statistician, researcher, and technician with tools to “get the job done!”

This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To safeguard public health, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must keep abreast of new scientific information and emerging technologies so that it can apply them to regulatory decision-making. For decades the agency has dealt with questions about what animal-testing data to use to make predictions about human health hazards, how to perform dose-response extrapolations, how to identify and protect susceptible subpopulations, and how to address uncertainties. As alternatives to traditional toxicity testing have emerged, the agency has been faced with additional questions about how to incorporate data from such tests into its chemical assessments and whether such tests can replace some traditional testing methods. Endocrine active chemicals (EACs) have raised concerns that traditional toxicity-testing protocols might be inadequate to identify all potential hazards to human health because they have the ability to modulate normal hormone function, and small alterations in hormone concentrations, particularly during sensitive life stages, can have lasting and significant effects. To address concerns about potential human health effects from EACs at low doses, this report develops a strategy to evaluate the evidence for such low-dose effects.
