The use of high doses increases the likelihood that potentially significant toxic effects will be identified. Findings of adverse effects in any one species do not necessarily indicate such effects might be generated in humans. From a conservative risk assessment perspective however, adverse findings in animal species are assumed to represent potential effects in humans, unless convincing evidence of species specificity is available.

Indoxacarb - Insecticide - CAS No. 173584-44-6

A mammalian chronic feeding Lowest Observable Effect Concentration (LOEC) Ms. was exceeded at the highest predicted vegetation residue level. Residue levels under field conditions will be lower as no foliar precipitation wash-off or dilution due to growth was factored into the screening modeling. Furthermore, the most sensitive reported end points are used for the Department's risk assessments. In this case the threshold exceeded was for hemolytic effects, specifically anemia. While these effects would reduce an individual animal's fitness should they feed exclusively on treated vegetation, lethal or reproductive effect thresholds are not reached and population level effects are unlikely.

Study HLO 885-96, 11/19/97). DPX-JW062-106 technical (Batch DPX-JW062- 106, 47.5% DPX-KN128) was administered orally (via the feed) to 5 Beagle dogs/sex/dose at levels of 0, 40, 80, 640 and 1280 ppm for 52 weeks. There was a treatment-related decrease in body weight, body weight gain and food consumption in 1280 ppm dogs during the first three months of the study. Reduced mean hemoglobin, RBC count and hematocrit was noted in the 80, 640 and 1280 ppm groups during all periods tested; increased Heinz bodies in these groups indicated hemolysis. Increased mean reticulocyte counts and MCV and decreased corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte morphologic changes and increased mean platelet counts indicated responses to hemolytic anemia. Significantly decreased RBC counts were also reported in 40 ppm males at week 25 and 51. Females at 40 ppm also showed reductions in RBC, but the differences were not statistically significant. Mean liver weights were increased in males (640 and 1280 ppm groups) and females (1280 ppm only). Microscopic changes in groups 40 ppm and above included increased pigment (hemosiderin) in liver Kupffer cells, kidney tubule epithelium, spleen and bone marrow and increased extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen and bone marrow hyperplasia. NOEL (M/F)=40 ppm (males: 1.1 mg/kg/day; females: 1.3 mg/kg/day based on biologically significant hemolytic anemia at 80 ppm and above). Acceptable. Kellner, 1/12/99.

Oxyfluorfen - Herbicide - CAS No. 42874-03-3

Human Health Assessment. Toxicity, Oxyfluorfen is of low acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity. The primary toxic effects are alterations in blood parameters (anemia) and in the liver. Oxyfluorfen is classified as a possible human carcinogen based on combined hepatocellular adenomas/carcinomas in the mouse carcinogenicity study. A cancer potency factor (Q1*) was used to estimate human risk. The FQPA Safety Factor for protection of infants and children was reduced to 1X for all population subgroups as there was no increased susceptibility in animals due to pre- or post-natal exposure to oxyfluorfen.
-- Toxicity was similar for subchronic and chronic rat, mouse, and dog studies in both sexes. Oxyfluorfen inhibits heme production, which results in a variety of anemias. Heme is the part of the hemoglobin molecule that contains iron and binds oxygen. In the 1997 subchronic rat study which used the current 98% a.i. formulation, the red blood cell count was normal, but the red blood cell mass was decreased due to the small size of the red blood cells, presumably because of inhibition of the protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme. The anemia was generally mild in other studies, with varying hematologic abnormalities described in the rat, mouse, and dog studies.
-- It should be noted that older toxicity studies with oxyfluorfen used technical material of approximately 71% or 85% purity. The newer toxicity studies used a technical material of approximately 98% purity, which is the basis for the current registrations of oxyfluorfen. The newer technical material has similar impurities to the older technical material, but in reduced concentrations. Toxicity was less severe for studies with the 98% product than for the 71% product; however, one mammal developmental study with the 98% technical was submitted in which animals experienced the most severe anemia and related hematologic effects of any of the mammalian studies. When there were studies with both the new and old technical material, preference for an endpoint for risk assessment purposes was generally given to the newer, 98% technical material (current registrations).

Picolinafen - Herbicide - CAS No. 137641-05-5

-- In the rat 2-generation reproduction study, reproduction function, reproductive parameters and litter parameters were not influenced by treatment in the first and second generation (P1/P2) parental animals at any dose level up to and including 500 ppm (equal to 39 and 42 mg/kg bw/d in males and females, respectively), the highest dose tested. Hematological findings, increased spleen weights, and histopathological findings indicative of regenerative hemolytic anemia were noted for P1/P2 males and females at 250 ppm (equal to 19 and 21 mg/kg bw/d for males and females, respectively) and above. Hematological findings including lower red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit were also noted for male and female second generation (F2) pups at 250 ppm and above on lactation day 21 (only time point evaluated). Although the hematological findings noted in the F2 offspring may be secondary to maternal toxicity, a direct treatment-related effect cannot be dismissed; therefore, these findings were considered to be toxicologically relevant. The NOAEL for parental and offspring toxicity was 50 ppm (equal to 3.7 and 4.0 mg/kg bw/d in males and females, respectively). On the basis of the parental and offspring NOAELs in the rat 2-generation reproductive toxicity study (one litter/generation), there was no indication that neonates were quantitatively more sensitive than adults to the toxic effects of picolinafen.
-- Hematological and histopathological findings indicative of regenerative hemolytic anemia were noted in all species tested. The most sensitive species appears to be the rat. The most appropriate NOAEL for regenerative hemolytic anemia is 50 ppm (equal to 2.4 and 3.0 mg/kg bw/d for males and females, respectively), as determined in the 2-year rat dietary study. The MOE for regenerative hemolytic anemia is 171 compared to the ADI.

Triflusulfuron-methyl - Herbicide - CAS No. 126535-15-7

Two 90-day studies were conducted in the rat. In one study, rats were fed dosages of 6.2, 127, 646, or 965 mg/kg/day (males) or 7.54, 150, 774, or 1,070 mg/kg/day (females). Triflusulfuron methyl exhibited subchronic toxicity at dietary concentrations of 2,000 ppm (127 and 150 mg/kg/day for males and females) or greater in the form of decreased body weights, decreased body weight gains, decreased food efficiency, increased mean relative liver weights, and regenerative anemia. The NOAEL was 6.2 mg/kg/day (males) and 7.54 mg/kg/day (females).
