1. Priority Substances - Source Screening and Measures Sheets Tenth Meeting of Working Group E on Chemical Aspects 24 June 2010

2. Structure of the presentation Source screening sheets: methodology for revision and findings Measures sheets: methodology and overview of new legislation

3. Source screening sheets – Methodology (I) Methodology as specified in the 2005 Concept Paper Up to date (since 2004) information sought from: –EU Sources REACH (Annex XV Dossiers) EU RARs Plant Protection Products Directive Biocides Directive Prior Informed Consent E-PRTR

4. –International Sources OSPAR Background Documents & Report on Emissions, Discharges and Losses UNECE (Rotterdam Convention; CLRTAP; POPs) –FP6 Projects Score-PP (substance flow analysis for selected priority pollutants in case cities) SOCOPSE (source control of priority substances in Europe –Other information Pesticides Manual Trade Association Web-sites Other reputable studies identified via Google searches Source screening sheets – Methodology (II)

5. Reductions can be seen in reported discharges from IPPC installations (data from E-PRTR) However, industrial emissions are still significant for some substances Use of some substances now banned (e.g. some pesticides) or restricted Main conclusions

6. Pesticides not included in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC therefore use prohibited –Alachlor; Atrazine; Chlorfenvinphos; Endosulfan; Hexachlorocyclohexane (Lindane); Pentachlorophenol; Simazine; TBT; Trifluralin Pesticides where use continues –Chlorpyrifos; Diuron; Isoproturon. Conclusions - pesticides

7. Cadmium – industrial sources remain significant Lead – industrial sources remain significant. Also discharges as a result of the use of lead products. Emissions to air from use of leaded petrol significantly reduced. Mercury – use in chlor-alkali electrolysis industry significantly reduced but currently still important. Further reductions expected in coming years. Nickel – emissions have reduced, but most sources still significant. Conclusions – metals

8. BDEs – believed not to be produced in EU. Use restricted and significantly reduced. C 10 -C 13 chloroalkanes (SCCPs) – production and industrial use are significant sources. 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) – production and industrial use are significant sources. Dichloromethane – domestic use prohibited, professional use restricted (to be prohibited in 2012), production and industrial use remain significant sources. Hexachlorobenzene – no longer used or manufactured in the EU. No significant sources. Conclusions – organohalogens (I)

9. Hexachlorobutadiene – no longer used or manufactured in the EU. No significant sources. Pentachlorobenzene – no longer used or manufactured in the EU. Losses from historically contaminated sediments only significant source. Trichlorobenzenes – one manufacturer in EU, used as a chemical intermediate. Production and industrial use are significant sources. Trichloromethane (Chloroform) – use by public and in diffusive applications is prohibited. Industrial production and use are significant sources. Conclusions – organohalogens (II)

10. Anthracene – industrial manufacture and use main significant sources. Creosote use restricted but leaching from historically treated wood and contaminated sediment significant sources. Benzene – use in certain applications prohibited. Industrial production and use are significant sources. DEHP – emissions as a result of product use are significant, together with industrial production and use. Fluoranthene – little information available on production and use in EU. Most sources result in emissions of PAH/fluoranthene Naphthalene – significant industrial emissions from combustion processes, basic organic chemicals and non-ferrous metal production. Atmospheric deposition not significant Conclusions – other organic substances (I)

11. Nonylphenols – domestic use phased out. Reduction in industrial use but emissions still significant. Octyphenols – significance of emissions as a result of tyre wear disputed. Emissions from non- IPPC installations likely to be more significant than those from IPPC installations. PAH – significant reduction in emissions from IPPC installations observed, but most sources still significant. Conclusions – other organic substances (II)

12. Measure sheets – Methodology Objective: To identify changes in measures since 2004 including new measures Starting point: 2004 measures sheets Up to date information sought from: –EUR-lex –Commission website / CIRCA / ENDS –International (OSPAR etc.) Structured according to the 2004 measures sheets (source/pathways) Reference to Directive 2008/105 on EQS in sheets under discussion
