AB  - The goal of this study was to identify commercial chemicals that might be 
      persistent and bioaccumulative (P&B) and that were not being considered in 
      current Great Lakes, North American, and Arctic contaminant measurement programs. 
      We combined the Canadian Domestic Substance List (DSL), a list of 3059 substances 
      of "unknown or variable composition complex reaction products and biological 
      materials" (UVCBs), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Toxic 
      Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory Update Rule (IUR) database for years 
      1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2006 yielding a database of 22263 commercial 
      chemicals. From that list, 610 chemicals were identified by estimates from U.S 
      EPA EPISuite software and using expert judgment. This study has yielded some 
      interesting and probable P&B chemicals that should be considered for further 
      study. Recent studies, following up our initial reports and presentations on this 
      work, have confirmed the presence of many of these chemicals in the environment.
