The Government will work with industry to further reduce exposures to two of these six substances considered "toxic" to human health. While the remaining four substances can continue to be safely used without posing a risk to Canadians, the Government will apply special provisions so that these substances cannot be used in new ways that would increase exposure to Canadians.
The notices containing summaries of draft screening assessment reports for all Batch 2 substances proposed "toxic" will be published in Canada Gazette Part I on May 17. The notices for substances proposed "not toxic" will be published inCanada Gazette Part I on May 24.
