    This presentation by Victor Li of the Environmental Protection Operations Division of Environment Canada appears to be given to the US EPA. Environment Canada (the nation of course) and the University of Toronto completed an analysis of coal tar sealant use in Ontario. Findings include: 1. coal tar sealants (CTS) are available for commerical and retail users. 2. CTS coverage in the greater Toronto area is nearly 6 square miles (14 km2)! 3. Sealant scraping concentrations were somewhat lower than published data from Mahler et al. at the USGS (perhaps due to both mislabeling in Canada and non-coal tar lot contamination in the USGS sampling). 4. There is a large loss of PAH's due to volatilization during drying/curing. 5. The average annual, estimated PAH load to surface water and soil is more than 7,000 pounds per year in Toronto alone.

    Background Work done by Environment Canada in
    2009 and 2010
    2010/11 University of Toronto Study

    2009 Work
    Student conducted review for drivewayy sealers in

    Some local retailers sell Coal Tar products for
    driveway sealers

    2010 Work
    Another student developed test plan to collect field samples
    and measure the impacts
    Also surveyed contractors in the Greater Toronto Area
    Significant

    Better durability
    Cheaper
    Fewer complaints

    2010/11 Work
    - Worked with University of Toronto
    - More in-depth review and identification of Coal Tar

    Method
    Scrappings (92) collected from 0.25 m2 areas of commercial parking
    lots (47) and residential driveways (45)
    Extraction via dichloromethane to dissolve binder material
    Cleaned via solid phase extraction
    Analysed via Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry
