  • 2-Nitropropane)
    Screening Assessment for the Challenge Propane, 2-nitro- (2-Nitropropane) Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number 79-46-9 Environment Canada Health Canada July 2010 Screening Assessment CAS RN 79-46-9 Synopsis Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Ministers of the Environment and of Health have conducted a screening assessment of propane, 2-nitro-, also known as 2-nitropropane, Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number 79-46-9. This substance was identified in the categorization of the Domestic Substances List as a high priority for action under the Challenge. 2- Nitropropane was identified as a high priority as it was determined to present an intermediate potential for exposure of individuals in Canada and had been classified by other agencies on the basis of carcinogenicity. Although 2-nitropropane met the ecological categorization criteria for persistence, it did not meet the criteria for bioaccumulation potential or inherent toxicity to aquatic organisms. Therefore, the focus of this assessment relates primarily to human health risks. According to information reported in response to a notice under section 71 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), no companies in Canada reported manufacturing 2-nitropropane in a quantity greater than or equal to the reporting threshold of 100 kg for the 2006 calendar year. According to information submitted by Canadian companies, the total quantity imported into Canada in 2006 was between 100 and 1000 kg. Potential sources of exposure identified in the publicly available literature include residual concentrations in vegetable oils for human consumption and pharmaceutical products, as well as formulated products including inks, paints, adhesives, varnishes, polymers, and synthetic materials that may contain 2-nitropropane.

  • Toxic Screening Level Justification for 75-52-5
    MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY INTEROFFICE COMMUNICATION TO: File for Nitromethane (CAS# 75-52-5) FROM: Robert Sills, AQD Toxics Unit Supervisor SUBJECT: Nitromethane ITSL change in the averaging time from 24 hrs to annual DATE: September 9, 2015 3 The current ITSL for nitro methane (70 ug/m ) has a justification (attached) dated May 29, 2008. The averaging time (AT) assigned at that time was 24 hours, as per the default methodology (Rule 232(2)(b)). The current file review concludes that the AT may appropriately be set at annual, based on the nature and duration of the key study and the ITSL value derivation, as allowed under Rule 229(2)(b). Therefore, the AT is being changed from 24 hours to annual at this time.

The ratings are based on a combination of published literature, laboratory tests, actual field experience, and informed judgments. As laboratory tests do not necessarily predict end-use performance, users of DICHTOMATIK products should conduct their own evaluations to determine application suitability. NOTE: Ratings are based on volume swell which is only one indicator of elastomer fluid compatibility and may be based on the solubility parameter alone. Fluid attack on the backbone of the polymer may show up as a change in physical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and hardness. Elevated temperatures and extended exposure times may create more aggressive conditions than cited in this guide. This information is believed to be reliable, but no representation, guarantees or warranties of any kind are made to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. The information presented is based on laboratory testing and does not necessarily indicate end product performance. It is recommended that users of DICHTOMATIK products conduct their own evaluations to determine suitability for the intended application. COMPATIBILITY RATING SYSTEM RATING DESCRIPTION VOLUME CHANGE COMMENTS 1 Little or no effect <10% Elastomer may exhibit slight swelling and/or loss of physical properties under severe conditions. 2 Possible loss of 10–20% Elastomer may exhibit swelling in addition to a physical properties change in physical properties.
