Organotins: Two Proposed to be Added to TSL

Today's Canada Gazette contained a proposed Order to add tributyltins and tetrabutyltins to the Toxic Substances List under CEPA (Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999). These were assessed (along with seven other organotins) under the New Substances Program, and the results of the assessment published in August of this year. Comments are available on the proposed Order until December 2, 2009.
