[...] A draft of this report was submitted by Komex International Ltd on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) to the Soil Quality Guidelines Task Group and to the Water Quality Task Group of Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment for consideration as Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines. [...] Levels in the Canadian Environment The occurrence of DIPA in the environment has been reported in groundwater, surface water, soil, and plants in the vicinity of facilities where it has been used. [...] The relationship between compound properties, and fate and behaviour can be used to predict the potential for the persistence and transport of DIPA. [...] The environmental fate and behaviour of DIPA are affected by its physical and chemical properties and susceptibility to biodegradation, as well as the hydrogeological and geological properties of the aquifer material.
