The Chemicals Management Plan

Update on the Commercial Status of Approximately 550 Substances on the Domestic Substances List (DSL)

As a part of the Chemicals Management Plan, the Government of Canada has published two notices on Saturday, October 3, 2009, in the Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 143, No. 40:

  1. Notice with respect to animate substances (microorganisms) on the Domestic Substances List
  2. Notice with respect to certain inanimate substances (chemicals) on the Domestic Substances List.

    3. The objectives of these notices are to gather data to determine the commercial status of certain substances on the DSL, to help set priorities, and to create an updated knowledge base in support of subsequent risk assessment and risk management. Basic information requested in the notices include use, activity and quantities of the substances, as well as some information about the types of products that contain the substances. The notices will be used to collect information on 45 animate substances (micro-organisms) and approximately 500 inanimate substances (chemicals).

    The notices are published pursuant to the information-gathering provisions of paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Pursuant to subsection 71(3) of the Act, every person to whom these notices apply is required to comply with these notices within the time specified in the notices. The time specified is March 30, 2010, 3 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time.

    In order to determine whether these notices apply to you, please consult the Government of Canada’s Chemical Substances website at: www.chemicalsubstances.gc.ca.

Adding insult to injury

SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian woman who claims she developed mould on her lungs as a result of working in a damp basement was told to have sex to cure her health problems, her lawyer claimed Tuesday.

 Regina Senger is suing her employer and the owner of the building where she worked after developing headaches, respiratory and sinus problems, her solicitor Rebecca Jancauskas said.

 The Queensland property manager was allegedly forced to work alone in “pervasive, pungent” dampness with mould growing on the walls and carpet.  And tests revealed spores were sprouting in her lungs, Jancauskas said.

In a show of “flagrant disregard” for her symptoms, she was told that having sex would cure her health problems when she asked to be moved, Jancauskas added.

 “The injury and ill health caused is very substantial in that it impacts on all aspects of one’s life…the compensation could be substantial,” she said.

 Senger left the company to undergo medical treatment in March, and has only been able to return to work part-time elsewhere, Jancauskas said.
