HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
identified by OSPAR for
cessation of discharges, emissions
and losses latest by 2020
Published by Seas At Risk and WWF,
and based on OSPAR documents
1
Background
At a ministerial meeting in Sintra in 1998 contracting parties to the Oslo & Paris Commissions agreed
that man-made hazardous substances should not occur in the marine environment and that naturally
occurring hazardous substances should not exceed natural background concentrations. To this end they
agreed to make every endeavour to cease all discharges, emissions and losses of hazardous substances
that could reach the marine environment by the year 2020. Hazardous substances are defined as
substances which are toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate (PTB) or which give rise to an equal
level of concern (but do not fulfil all three criteria at the same time).
As a first step OSPAR has established a mechanism to identify and prioritise substances of concern
[(See Annex II)]. The resulting list, drawn up using existing data bases and worse-case assumptions
where there are data gaps, contains nearly 400 chemicals (OSPAR document PRAM 00/3/Info.). It is
possible that, in the light of additional new data some of these substances may turn out to be of no real
concern. It may also be the case that hazardous substances have been missed off the list and will be
added later. OSPAR’s prioritisation of these 400 substances has produced 32 for priority action,
although all 400 substances are subject to the 2020 cessation objective.
The List
The list published here (at Annex I) is based on OSPAR document PRAM 00/3/Info., and updated to
take account of decisions taken at OSPAR’s PRAM 2000 meeting. In addition it has been sorted and
grouped to make it more user-friendly; non-essential information has been removed and additional
information added in respect of monitoring data and coverage under other international programmes.
No substances have been added or deleted from the list that emerged from PRAM 2000. The list is one
of the main outcomes of OSPAR’s 1999-2000 intersessional work; all substances on the list have been
identified in a transparent process based on clear criteria, and it should be available to the wider
public.
Action by Industry
The list is published here in recognition that a significant part of the responsibility for implementing
the 2020 cessation objective lies with the producers and users of the chemicals in question. While
OSPAR has prioritised the list to enable it to start work on the more hazardous substances first,
ultimately discharges, emissions and losses of all listed substances must cease by the year 2020.
Unless industry can provide data proving that a substance should not be on the list (many data gaps are
due to industry secrecy), it has a clear obligation to take measures aimed at eliminating discharges,
emissions, and losses of that substance.
Specific action by producers and importers of industrial chemicals
Producers and importers should scrutinise the list to see if they are placing one or more of these
substances on the EU market. If the answer is yes, they should check the following: are the substances
used in applications open to the environment; would the substances degrade sufficiently quickly (a
half-life of 50 days in water could be taken as a tentative trigger value) during transport (river water,
atmosphere, marine); and whether or not the information on IUCLID regarding the substance needs to
be updated. This information should be sent, as soon as possible and within 2 years at the latest, to
OSPAR’s new Hazardous Substances Priority Setting Working Group, allowing them to update the
list. Where a producer or importer does not hold data capable of removing a substance from list, they
must take all possible action to cease discharges, emissions and losses of the substance in question.
Specific action by producers and importers of pesticides
2
There are approximately 90 pesticides among the 400 substances listed. Many of them may no-longer
be on the EU market and others, in light of better data may turn out to be degradable under
environmental conditions. Pesticide producers and importers are urged to make the relevant data on
toxicity, bioaccumulation and biodegradation publicly available. This will facilitate a rational and
transparent judgement on whether a pesticide is of priority concern.
More generally, it must be understood that the use of any pesticide or biocides with PTB properties is
unacceptable. The importation of pesticides or biocides to the EU where European producers have
already ceased production because of environmental considerations is unacceptable, as is the export to
third countries of pesticides and biocides that have been banned in the EU.
Specific action for professional users of chemical products
Users of chemical products in, e.g., textile processing, plastics manufacture, and metal processing,
should check with their suppliers to see whether listed substances occur in the chemical products used.
If they do and releases to the environment are possible measures should be taken to end those releases.
Tasks for the regulators
According to OSPAR’s hazardous substance strategy, OSPAR contracting parties are committed to
make every endeavour to meet the target of cessation of discharges, emissions and losses of hazardous
substances by 2020. Translating this commitment into practical activity requires national governments
to ensure that the political commitment given under OSPAR is implemented by national ministries,
departments and other competent authorities dealing with: risk assessment of existing chemicals under
EC Regulation 793/93; assessment and authorisation of pesticides and biocides; marketing and use
restrictions of chemicals; and water pollution, in particular with regard to the list of priority dangerous
substances in the field of EU water policy.
In practical terms this means they must: i) promote policy integration within the government; ii) better
involve regional water authorities; iii) set up programs with certain industries which have a high
consumption of chemicals; and iv) notify certain substances for national marketing and use
restrictions.
Also, there are several substances of potential concern which have been missed by the initial selection
process. This applies for example to the pesticides linuron, diuron, atrazin and simazin as well as to
several musk components used in cosmetic products and detergents. Contracting parties to OSPAR are
urged to identify further hazardous substances, in particular those which do not meet the PTB criteria
but are nevertheless of concern.
Task for the environmental NGO community
Environmental NGOs should ask the national authorities responsible for biocides and pesticides
whether the pesticides on the list are permitted for use. If the answer is yes, they should seek
clarification regarding the biodegradation and bioaccumulation data used to make the decision.
Larger companies using chemicals should be directly approached and asked whether or not they use
substances on the list or prioritised by OSPAR.
Environmental NGOs will closely observe the extent to which OSPAR contracting parties and
industry make “every endeavour” to cease discharges, emissions and losses of the chemicals on
OSPAR’s List of Hazardous Substances.

ANNEX I
Introduction
In Appendix 1-4 of this annex you will find the list of hazardous substances divided into four sub-lists:
1. List of 35 new priorities, containing the 32 priority chemicals selected by OSPAR and three
substances which belong to the draft list of priority substances in the field of EC water policy. The
TBBA is listed here as well even though it is a brominated flame retardent and thus already
covered under OSPAR’s current program. The same applies for the Octylphenol. The substances
are listed according to chemical groups and types of application.
2. List of 128 substances which are already covered as a priority under the marine conventions or
other international agreements. Nearly half of the total number are single polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH). Several brominated compounds are also grouped here as it is assumed that
most of these are flame retardents. All of the organotin compounds are grouped here regardless of
whether they are used as biocides or in other applications. The substances are grouped according
to chemical nature or type of application.
3. List of 82 Hazardous pesticides/biocides which OSPAR does not consider a priority for the next 2
years. Nevertheless there is a concern that these pesticides accumulate in the environment due to
slow degradation and liability to bioaccumulate. The pesticides are listed according to their market
relevance. For about two thirds of these pesticides it is not clear whether they are of relevance for
the EU market.
4. List of 151 hazardous industrial chemicals and drugs which OSPAR does not consider a priority
for the next 2 years. For many of these substances the market volume and the type of application is
unknown. Industry and national authorities should make every effort to search for and provide
data allowing a decision to be taken regarding the threat posed by these substances to the marine
environment. The substances are listed according to types of application and CAS numbers.
For each substance the following information is provided:
 Group: grouping according to chemical criteria.
 Type of application: grouping according to known uses of the substance.
 PrioType: cross-reference to other programs or agreements under which the substance is listed
(codes see table in appendix 5).
 Selection: indicates the severity of the PTB-properties. “I” stands for POP like substances and
“V” stands for less severe PTB properties (trigger values see appendix 6).
 S-net: indicates that the substance was not selected based on fulfilling all the three PBT criteria.
 ED: indicates that the substance is regarded by OSPAR as an endocrine disrupter.
 Market: indicates market occurrence (H = high production volume chemical (one or more
producers and importers in the EC handling an annual amount > 1000 t), M = medium production
volume chemical (one or more producers and importers handling an annual amount > 10 t and <
1000 t); NP = substance registered as being on the Nordic markets).
 EINECS: indicates that a substance was on the European market in 1981, when the inventory of
existing chemicals was made.
 Monitored: indicates that representative monitoring data from European rivers (water and
sediments) are available.

ANNEX II
Selecting substances for the list
In order to judge whether or not a substance fulfils the PTB criteria certain indicators were used, most
of them based on standard tests or standard model calculations. The cut-off values were agree among
OSPAR experts, but have yet to be agreed at a political level.
 Indicator for the P - criterion: Substance most likely does not readily degrade in the aquatic
environment (based on OECD Test on ready or inherent biodegradability, or the US EPA
BIODEG Modelling program), and
 Indicator for the B - criterion: substance may accumulate in water organism (based on i)
experimental bioconcentration factors in fish > 500 or on ii) measured or predicted distribution
factors between octanol and water of > 10,0001), and
 Indicator for the T - criterion: substance is very toxic to water organisms (based on measured or
predicted acute toxicity < 1 mg/l) or can cause irreversible long term effects on human health
(cancer, genetic effects, effect on reproductivity).
Twenty two substances (out of the 400) which do not meet the PBT criteria have nevertheless been
selected based on suspected endocrine disrupting properties, and their presence in the marine
environment.
By April 2000, 397 substances were on the list, belonging to the following main types of products
(Many of these substances are used in a variety of products. For about 20% of the substances
significant work needs to be done to identify how and where they are being used):

For many of the substances (about 40%) the applications and volumes for the EU market are currently
unclear. It is possible that several substances are no longer produced, but may occur in the
environment due to past pollution, long range transport or degradation of other substances, and thus
could not be reduced by direct market restrictions (e.g., DDT degradation products, PCBs and
Hexachlorobenzene).
Confidential data
For more than half of the substances where data on EU market volumes and use patterns exist, the data
is considered confidential and there is no public access. A confidentiality rule exists for substances
which are produced or imported by less then 4 companies in Europe, and even the total volumes are
kept secret. CEFIC and the European Commission agreed this rule in the 1990s when the IUCLID
database was set up. Due to this restriction, transparent priority setting among the hazardous
substances is nearly impossible.
How was the list set up
As a starting point, the Nordic Countries assisted by the Netherlands screened several data bases (in
total around 250,000 substances) using an automated system to identify substances with PTB
properties. The substances were selected using results from laboratory testing or, if these were lacking,
by modelling of the substance’s properties based on its chemical structure. Among the available data,
measured data was given a preference over the modelled data, and the most sensible data point was
used. By using modelled data where measured data did not exist, OSPAR handled the problem of
substance property data gaps.
The preliminary draft list of hazardous substances was refined several times through expert judgement.
Substances which were initially selected based on invalid or irrelevant data were removed, other
substances were added because they were endocrine disrupters or occurred in the marine environment.
Ranking
The initially selected substances were ranked according to their relative risk. This was done using the
measured or predicted concentration of a substance in the environment based on monitoring data, or
on the market volume, the types of application, defined worst case emission factor and the estimated
speed of degradation. The substances were ranked according to concentration likely to be found in
river water. Parallel to that the substances were also ranked according to their potential to
bioaccumulate and their toxicity to aquatic organisms or humans. Both ranking lists were combined in
order to identify the substances which pose the highest relative risk.
About 40% of the substances could not be ranked since the necessary information was not available.
