Follow-up activities

Although trixylyl phosphate is not considered to be harmful to human health or to the environment at current levels of exposure, this substance is associated with effects of concern, namely due to its potential to cause effects on the reproductive system. Therefore, there may be a concern if exposures were to increase. For this reason, the Government of Canada has applied the SNAc provisions of CEPA to trixylyl phosphate.

Background

Three other substances were identified as being a part of the Phosphoric Acid Derivatives Group at the outset of the third phase of the CMP. These substances were subsequently determined to be of low concern to both human health and the environment, through other approaches. Conclusions for CAS RNs 68604-99-9, 68952-35-2, and 111174-61-9 are provided in the Final Screening Assessment for the Rapid Screening of Substances with Limited General Population Exposure.
