Priority Substances List Assessment Report: Aniline. Canadian EnvironmentalProtection Act

摘要

Although aniline is not produced in Canada, aniline and aniline hydrochloride areimported for use as intermediates in the production of chemicals for the synthesis of rubber and polymers. Approximately 1.1 tonnes of aniline may be released into the Canadian environment each year from various stages of its commercial life cycle; however, the aniline released is not expected to persist. Information was not identified on the concentrations of aniline in air, surface waters, biota, soil, or sediment within Canada. Based on these considerations, it has been concluded that aniline is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that are having a harmful effect on the environment or that constitute a danger to the environment upon which human life depends.
