Canada | Cyanides: Proposed order adding free cyanide, cyanide salts and cyanide complexes to Schedule 1 to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999



Cyanides - These substances were identified for action under the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP). The ecological portion of the screening assessment used a moiety-based approach that focused on free cyanide [hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and the cyanide anion (CN-)] and precursors of free cyanide. As such, the ecological moiety conclusion includes, but is not limited to, the 10 substances identified in the table below; however, the human health conclusion is limited to those 10 substances.
