Screening assessment on MBMBP phenols: conclusion

Conclusion

Based on available information, it is concluded that MBMBP is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends. In addition, it is concluded that MBMBP is 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.

It is therefore concluded that MBMBP does not meet the criteria in section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Additionally, MBMBP meets the criteria for persistence but does not meet the criteria for bioaccumulation set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations (Canada 2000).
