Follow-up activities

Although SOPP is not considered to be harmful at levels of exposure considered in the assessment, it is considered to have a health effect of concern based on laboratory studies. Therefore, there may be a potential risk if exposures were to increase. The proposed follow-up activity is to apply the SNAc provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) to SOPP.
