ISBN: 978-1-84432-956-4 Product Code: SCHO1008BOTE-E-P Dissemination Status Internal: Release to Chemicals Policy External: Publicly available Statement of Use This report summarises the environmental issues surrounding the use of flame retardant chemicals. It prioritises these on the basis of tonnage, hazardous properties and approximate risk ‘ranking’. The information will help regulatory authorities develop future assessment and monitoring priorities, and guide wider recommendations for policy on flame retardants.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aim of this study was to present an overview of the use of flame-retardant substances in the UK and, in particular, to identify substances that might require detailed consideration in terms of their possible impact on the environment. We have given particular consideration to brominated flame retardants, because these are currently receiving attention in a number of countries. This report does not consider the human health benefits or risks of such substances. An earlier report on this topic, produced in 2001, was circulated electronically by the Agency to Industry and regulatory contacts. Industry responded with considerable amounts of new information. This report updates and broadens the scope of that original report. It also includes new information. It is a stand-alone document, and contains most of the technical work performed in the first study. A confidential Project Record provides some further detail. The researchers have assessed publicly available data and sought information from regulatory authorities and Industry. We approached companies and trade associations at the producer end of the supply chain as well as the users of flame retardants, to get a picture of the whole market. The level of industry input has been fairly high, and a list of industry respondents is included. We have placed our findings in a broad context, so that the use of these substances is clearly understood. Many flame-retardant substances are available on the market, but the range of substrates is wide, as is the range of applications. We summarise the uses, mechanisms of action and environmental regulation of flame retardants, and we consider the routes by which they may enter the environment. We also summarise issues concerning substitution of flame retardants, since this is not a straightforward activity. We note, too, the current growth in the use of inorganic flame retardants. As a result of this project, the main resources now available are: · An Access database of more than 300 substances, summarising all the data (including a large number of predictions to fill gaps) obtained on: - physicochemical properties (such as water solubility, vapour pressure and octanol- water partition coefficient, which are used in models of environmental fate and behaviour); - toxicity to aquatic and terrestrial organisms (including some mammalian toxicity data); - distribution and degradation in the environment; - tonnage and information on suppliers and application (some of this is reported only in a confidential version of the database). The Project Database is available from the Project Manager on request. · An overview of the market for flame retardants, with summaries of major industry sectors. From these data, priority lists of substances for possible further study have been drawn up, based on: - tonnage on the EU market; - hazard, including persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT) properties; - risk, based firstly on a simple generic exposure model, and secondly as the tonnage on the market that could give rise to a concern (the ‘critical tonnage’). i Reliable UK tonnage data could not be obtained in many cases, and many data gaps exist. Although a lot of substances were included in the investigations, it is clear that many are no longer used in any significant amounts, although confirmation of this has been difficult. The experience of European regulatory bodies with assessments carried out under the Existing Substances Regulation (ESR, EC no. 793/93) shows that a detailed investigation of the life cycle and properties of a substance is needed before firm conclusions about it can be drawn. The ESR risk assessments already carried out on flame retardants have reached a variety of conclusions, but it is clear that some of these substances may pose significant risks to the environment. Some flame retardants (as yet not studied in detail) have indications of potential concern at the screening level comparable with substances that are now subject to regulatory controls. These could become priorities for further detailed analysis. ii CONTENTS 1.

HEPTACHLOR AND HEPTACHLOR EPOXIDE iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Heptachlor/Heptachlor Epoxide, Draft for Public Comment was released in September 2005. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine/Applied Toxicology Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE Mailstop F-32 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 HEPTACHLOR AND HEPTACHLOR EPOXIDE iv This page is intentionally blank. v FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies.

    SUBSTANCE PROFILES importer of chlorendic acid in 1977 (TSCA 1979). The Chlorendic Acid manufacturer/importer reported zero production, but the TSCA CAS No. 115-28-6 Inventory estimated that 3 million to 30 million lb of chlorendic acid were produced or imported in 1977. No data on chlorendic Reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen acid exports were available. First Listed in the Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens (1989) Exposure Cl O The primary route of potential human exposure to chlorendic acid is Cl C dermal contact, while some small exposure may possibly occur OH through inhalation. It is manufactured in an essentially closed system Cl C O which would seem to minimize, although not eliminate, potential Cl Cl C occupational exposure during the manufacturing process (NTP 1987). Cl OH When used as a reactive flame-retardant or hardening agent, chlorendic acid bonds covalently to the polymer, resulting in less Carcinogenicity potential for human exposure. In its uses as an extreme pressure Chlorendic acid is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based lubricant and a chemical intermediate, there is the possibility of on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals (NTP human exposure to chlorendic acid. Chlorendic acid was not listed in 1987). When administered in the diet, the compound was the National Occupational Exposure Survey, conducted by NIOSH carcinogenic in male mice and in rats of both sexes. In male rats, from 1981 to 1983; however, it was included in the National chlorendic acid caused neoplastic nodules of the liver and acinar cell Occupational Hazard Survey (NOHS) conducted by NIOSH from adenomas of the pancreas.
