EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The
Health
Effects
Division
(HED)
of
EPA's
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
has
evaluated
the
carbaryl
database
and
conducted
a
human
health
risk
assessment
for
the
reregistration
of
the
chemical.
Carbaryl
is
a
list
A
reregistration
chemical.
Carbaryl
is
also
subject
to
court
specified
deadlines
resulting
from
a
Natural
Resources
Defense
Council
(NRDC)
petition
of
the
Agency.
This
assessment
incorporates
error
corrections
and
begins
phase
3
of
the
public
participation
process.

Use
Patterns:

Carbaryl
[1­
napthyl
methylcarbamate]
is
one
of
the
most
widely
used
broadspectrum
insecticides
in
agriculture,
professional
turf
management,
professional
ornamental
production,
and
in
the
residential
pet,
lawn
and
garden
markets.
Carbaryl
formulations
include
baits,
dusts,
pet
collars,
flowable
concentrates,
emulsifiable
concentrates,
granulars,
soluble
concentrates,
and
wettable
powders.
Carbaryl
is
used
in
agriculture
to
control
pests
on
terrestrial
food
crops
including
fruit
and
nut
trees
(e.
g.,
apples,
pears,
almonds,
walnuts,
and
citrus),
many
types
of
fruit
and
vegetables
(e.
g.,
cucumbers,
tomatoes,
lettuce,
blackberries,
and
grapes),
and
grain
crops
(e.
g.,
corn,
rice,
sorghum,
and
wheat).
Carbaryl
is
also
used
for
direct
animal
treatments
to
control
pests
on
companion
animals
such
as
dogs
and
cats.
There
are
other
uses
for
ornamentals
and
turf,
including
production
facilities
such
as
greenhouses,
golf
courses,
and
residential
sites
that
can
be
treated
by
professional
applicators
(e.
g.,
annuals,
perennials,
shrubs).
Carbaryl
can
also
be
used
by
homeowners
on
lawns,
for
home
and
garden
uses,
and
on
companion
animals.
There
are
no
labels
for
indoor
uses
within
a
residence.
In
agriculture,
groundboom,
airblast,
and
aerial
applications
are
typical.
Other
applications
can
also
be
made
using
handheld
equipment
such
as
low
pressure
handwand
sprayers,
backpack
sprayers,
and
turfguns.
Homeowners
can
also
use
other
types
of
application
equipment
including
trigger
sprayers,
hose­
end
sprayers,
and
ready­
to­
use
dust
packaging.
Information
on
uses
and
application
rates
used
in
the
risk
assessment
was
provided
by
the
registrant,
Aventis
Crop
Science,
at
a
SMART
meeting
on
September
21,
1998
and
from
a
review
of
current
labels.
The
Agency's
Biological
and
Economic
Analysis
Division
has
also
concurred
with
the
use
patterns
which
serve
as
the
basis
for
this
assessment.
Carbaryl
also
has
more
specialized
uses
that
can
lead
to
exposures
in
the
general
population
such
as
an
adulticide
for
mosquito
control
and
for
Ghost
and
Mud
shrimp
control
in
oyster
beds
in
Washington
State.
These
use
patterns
were
also
considered
in
this
assessment.

Hazard
Characterization:

Carbaryl
is
a
carbamate
insecticide
where
the
mode
of
toxic
action
is
through
cholinesterase
inhibition
(ChEI).
In
most
of
the
toxicology
studies
in
which
ChEI
activity
was
measured,
it
was
the
endpoint
used
for
setting
the
No
Observed
Adverse
Effect
Level
(NOAEL)
for
risk
assessment,
the
dose
at
which
no
adverse
effects
were
observed.
There
was
one
exception;
for
chronic
duration
exposures,
a
NOAEL
could
not
be
defined
in
the
toxicology
study
deemed
most
appropriate
(i.
e.,
chronic
dog
toxicity)
so
a
Lowest
Observed
Adverse
Effect
Level
(LOAEL),
the
dose
at
which
the
first
adverse
6
effects
were
observed,
was
used
for
risk
assessment
purposes.
Carbaryl
is
relatively
acutely
toxic
by
the
oral
route
(Toxicity
Category
II)
but
has
relatively
low
acute
toxicity
by
the
dermal
and
inhalation
routes.
It
is
not
a
dermal
or
eye
irritant
or
a
dermal
sensitizer;
however,
there
are
reports
of
dermal
irritation
and
dermal
manifestations
of
an
allergic
response
in
humans
exposed
to
carbaryl.

The
Agency
is
required
by
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
to
consider
the
special
sensitivities
of
various
susceptible
populations
such
as
infants
and
children.
Current
Agency
policy
retains
the
factor
using
criteria
based
on
exposure
and
toxicity
considerations.
For
carbaryl,
a
traditional
factor
of
3
was
applied
only
to
chronic
duration
exposures
to
account
for
the
lack
of
a
NOAEL
in
the
selected
chronic
dog
toxicity
study
(i.
e.,
the
use
of
a
LOAEL).
The
Agency
decided
that
the
special
FQPA
Safety
Factor
should
be
reduced
to
1
and
that
this
was
adequate
to
protect
susceptible
populations
because
there
are
no
residual
uncertainties
in
the
exposure
databases,
the
toxicology
database
is
complete,
and
the
endpoint
and
NOAELs
for
risk
assessment
were
well
defined.
Dietary
exposures
were
calculated
using
FDA
and
PDP
monitoring
data,
a
carbamate
market
basket
survey,
and
percent
crop
treated
information.
Residential
exposures
were
calculated
using
a
number
of
carbaryl­
specific
studies.
In
the
toxicology
database,
no
quantitative
or
qualitative
evidence
of
increased
susceptibility
in
rat
or
rabbit
fetuses
following
in
utero
exposure
in
the
standard
developmental
studies
was
observed.
There
was
a
low
level
of
concern
for
evidence
of
susceptibility
seen
in
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study,
and
there
was
evidence
of
increased
susceptibility
in
offspring
in
the
2­
generation
reproduction
study.
However,
the
Agency
believes
that
the
acute
and
chronic
RfDs
would
be
protective
of
these
effects
so
the
special
FQPA
safety
factor
was
reduced
to
1.

Carbaryl
has
been
classified
as
a
Group
C
possible
human
carcinogen
based
on
an
increased
incidence
of
hemangiosarcomas
and
combined
hemangiomas/
hemangiosarcomas
in
CD­
1
mice
at
100
ppm
and
above
(15
and
18
mg/
kg/
day
for
males
and
females,
respectively).
Mechanistic
metabolism
studies
and
a
study
in
heterozygous
p53­
deficient
mice
were
considered
inadequate
to
demonstrate
a
mode
of
action
for
the
vascular
tumors.
Therefore,
a
linear
low
dose
extrapolation
approach
was
used
for
risk
assessment;
the
Q1*
is
8.75
x
10
­4
(mg/
kg/
day)
­1
based
on
the
mouse
vascular
tumors
according
to
the
February
2002
Cancer
Assessment
Review
Committee
(CARC)
report.
Also,
CARC
concluded
that
there
is
a
concern
for
mutagenicity
because
carbaryl
has
been
observed
to
be
clastogenic
in
vitro.
However,
this
concern
is
lessened
because
of
a
lack
of
effects
observed
in
vivo
(i.
e.,
micronuclei
induction
and
chromosome
aberration
studies
were
negative).

Endpoints
for
acute
and
chronic
dietary
exposure
risk
assessments
were
selected
by
the
HED
Hazard
Identification
Assessment
Review
Committee
(HIARC).
The
toxicity
endpoints
selected
for
risk
assessment
are
neurotoxic
effects
associated
with
the
inhibition
of
ChEI.
The
dose
level
used
for
the
acute
dietary
risk
assessment
was
a
NOAEL
which
was
defined
in
a
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
conducted
with
rats
(1
mg/
kg/
day).
The
dose
level
used
for
the
chronic
dietary
risk
assessment
was
a
LOAEL
which
was
defined
in
a
chronic
dog
feeding
study
(3.1
mg/
kg/
day).
Because
a
NOAEL
could
not
be
defined
in
the
chronic
study,
an
additional
factor
of
3x
was
added
to
the
customary
100x
factor
(i.
e.,
10x
for
extrapolation
from
animal
studies
to
humans
and
10x
for
intraspecies
variation
between
the
test
animals
and
humans)
to
account
for
the
uncertainty
associated
with
a
lack
of
a
NOAEL.
The
acute
and
chronic
reference
doses
(RfD)
were
0.01
mg/
kg/
day
(i.
e.,
dose/
100
for
acute
and
dose/
300
for
chronic).
The
Population
Adjusted
Dose
(PAD)
is
a
modification
of
the
acute
or
chronic
RfD
to
7
accommodate
the
FQPA
safety
factor
and
is
calculated
by
dividing
the
RfD
by
the
FQPA
safety
factor.
The
PADs
are
the
values
used
for
the
acute
and
chronic
dietary
risk
calculations.
The
Special
FQPA
Safety
Factor
was
reduced
to
1
as
described
above.
Therefore,
the
aPAD
and
cPAD
(i.
e.,
PAD
values
for
acute
and
chronic
dietary
exposures,
respectively)
are
both
0.01
mg/
kg/
day.

There
are
many
potential
ways
people
can
be
exposed
to
carbaryl
in
occupational
and
residential
settings.
The
Agency
considers
exposures
for
those
involved
in
the
application
of
carbaryl
(i.
e.,
handlers)
and
those
who
can
come
into
contact
with
carbaryl
residues
after
application
(i.
e.,
reentry
or
postapplication).
Both
cancer
and
non­
cancer
risk
assessments
were
conducted
for
residential
handlers
and
for
people
in
the
general
population
who
might
be
exposed
postapplication
from
lawn,
garden,
or
pet
uses
of
carbaryl
or
from
more
specialized
uses
such
as
mosquito
adulticide
applications
and
uses
on
oyster
beds
in
Washington
state.
Similarly,
both
handler
and
postapplication
risks
were
calculated
for
those
people
who
could
be
exposed
as
part
of
their
jobs
such
as
a
grower
treating
their
crop
or
someone
harvesting
fruit.
Endpoints
for
occupational
and
residential
exposures
from
various
routes
(i.
e.,
dermal,
inhalation,
and
incidental
oral)
and
differing
durations
(i.
e.,
short­
term,
intermediate­
term,
and
chronic)
were
selected
by
the
HIARC.
Based
on
current
policy,
short­
term
exposure
was
defined
as
1
to
30
days,
intermediate­
term
exposures
as
30
days
to
several
months,
and
chronic
exposures
as
several
months
to
a
lifetime.
[Note:
Not
all
routes
and
durations
are
applicable
to
each
population.]
The
toxicity
endpoints
selected
for
these
carbaryl
risk
assessments
are
again
based
on
neurotoxic
effects
associated
with
the
inhibition
of
ChEI.
The
short­
and
intermediate­
term
dermal
risk
assessments
for
carbaryl
are
based
on
NOAEL
of
20
mg/
kg/
day
defined
in
a
dermal
toxicity
study
in
rats
using
technical
material
where
decreases
in
red
blood
cell
cholinesterase
in
males
and
females
and
brain
cholinesterase
in
males
were
observed.
The
short­
term
inhalation
and
nondietary
ingestion
risk
assessments
for
carbaryl
are
based
on
a
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
which
was
defined
in
a
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats
where
alterations
in
FOB
measurements
and
cholinesterase
inhibition
(plasma,
whole
blood,
and
brain)
were
observed.
The
intermediate­
term
inhalation
and
nondietary
ingestion
risk
assessments
are
based
on
a
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
that
was
defined
in
a
subchronic
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats.
The
chronic
risk
assessments,
regardless
of
how
exposures
occur
(e.
g.,
skin
or
inhaled)
are
based
on
a
LOAEL
of
3.1
mg/
kg/
day
that
was
defined
in
a
1
year
dog
feeding
study.
In
some
assessments,
a
dermal
absorption
factor
is
required.
A
rat
dermal
absorption
study
using
radiolabeled
14
C
carbaryl
was
used
to
define
a
factor
of
12.7
percent;
this
value
was
used
to
calculate
the
oral
equivalent
dermal
dose
for
noncancer
chronic
duration
exposures
and
for
the
calculation
of
cancer
risks.
No
inhalation
toxicity
studies
were
available
for
risk
assessment
purposes
so
a
route­
to­
route
extrapolation
was
used
to
address
risks
from
inhalation
exposures.
No
inhalation
absorption
study
was
conducted;
therefore,
a
100
percent
inhalation
absorption
factor
has
been
used
to
convert
all
inhalation
exposures
to
an
oral
equivalent
inhalation
dose.

Dietary
Risk
Estimates:

Potential
dietary
exposure
to
carbaryl
occurs
through
food
and
water.
Tolerances
for
residues
of
carbaryl
are
currently
expressed
in
terms
of
carbaryl
and
its
hydrolysis
product,
1­
naphthol
(calculated
as
carbaryl)
for
most
raw
agricultural
commodities.
However,
HED
is
recommending
that
carbaryl
per
se
be
regulated
in
plants.
In
livestock
commodities,
carbaryl;

At
the
present
time,
information
from
the
industry­
sponsored
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
has
been
approved
for
use
in
dietary
risk
assessments
with
appropriate
characterization
of
uncertainties
associated
with
the
conduct
of
the
study.
The
primary
concern
was
rubbing
sampled
commodities
during
the
rinsing
process
except
for
broccoli
and
tomato
because
this
created
a
potential
for
residue
loss
from
the
mechanical
action
associated
with
rubbing.
A
separate
assessment
was
also
completed
using
other
sources
of
high
quality
residue
data
(e.
g.,
PDP)
for
comparative
purposes
to
more
completely
inform
the
risk
management
process.

8
5­
methoxy­
6­
hydroxy
carbaryl
and
all
residues
which
can
be
hydrolyzed
to
carbaryl,
5,6­
dihydro­
5,6­
dihydroxy
carbaryl,
or
5­
methoxy­
6­
hydroxy
carbaryl
under
acidic
conditions
should
be
included
in
the
tolerance
expression
and
risk
assessment
for
all
endpoints
of
dietary
concern.
Once
the
tolerances
for
plants
are
revised,
they
will
be
compatible
with
Codex
MRLs
except
for
livestock
commodities.

A
Tier
3/
4
dietary
risk
assessment,
which
is
the
most
highly
refined
assessment
possible
at
this
time,
was
conducted.
Both
acute
and
chronic
dietary
risk
assessments
were
conducted.
Dietary
exposure
was
determined,
considering
the
level
of
carbaryl
residue
on
food
commodities
and
their
potential
consumption
by
multiple
subpopulations.
Dietary
risk
was
then
calculated
by
comparing
dietary
exposure
to
the
acute
or
chronic
PADs.
Data
on
anticipated
carbaryl
residues
were
determined
based
mainly
on
USDA
Pesticide
Data
Program
(PDP)
and
Food
and
Drug
Administration
(FDA)
monitoring
data.
Field
trial
data
were
used
for
certain
commodities.
In
addition,
separate
acute
assessments
were
conducted
incorporating
the
results
of
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS).
1
The
percentage
of
the
crop
treated
(estimated
maximum
percentage
and
weighted
average
percentage
for
the
acute
and
chronic
analyses,
respectively)
was
also
considered.
Food
consumption
data
were
from
2
of
USDA's
Continuing
Surveys
of
Food
Intakes
by
Individuals
(CSFII)
which
ranged
from
1989
to
1992
and
from
1994
to
1998.
The
1994
to
1998
data
were
included
based
on
comments
from
the
registrant,
Aventis
Crop
Science,
for
comparative
purposes
(1989
to
1992
are
normally
used
for
risk
assessment).
In
these
surveys,
3­
day
mean
consumption
and
single­
day
consumption
information
were
recorded
for
22
demographic
and
socio­
economic
subpopulations,
including
infants,
children,
and
nursing
women.
Dietary
risk
assessments
were
conducted
using
the
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
(DEEM™),
which
incorporates
exposure
and
consumption
data
to
calculate
risk
as
a
percentage
of
the
PAD.
Values
greater
than
100
percent
of
the
PAD
exceed
HED's
level
of
concern.

Estimated
acute
dietary
exposure
for
carbaryl
at
the
99.9
th
percentile
using
the
1989
to
1992
CFSII
data
exceeds
HED's
level
of
concern
for
some
population
subgroups
when
CMBS
data
are
not
used
and
are
not
of
concern
when
the
CMBS
are
incorporated.
The
results
of
the
acute
dietary
assessment
when
CMBS
data
have
not
been
used
indicate
risks
are
greater
than
100
percent
of
the
aPAD
for
all
infants
(<
1
year
old)
and
children
(1­
6
years
old)
at
the
99.9
th
percentile
of
exposure
(133
%
and
110%
of
aPAD,
respectively).
When
CMBS
data
were
incorporated,
the
highest
exposed
subpopulation
was
children
(1­
6
years
old)
at
75
percent
of
the
aPAD.
A
sensitivity
analysis
was
completed
by
the
Agency
(not
using
the
CMBS)
to
evaluate
the
impacts
of
eliminating
apples
or
peaches
from
the
analysis
and
eliminating
commodities
with
no
detectable
residues.
Eliminating
peaches
appears
to
have
the
most
impact
as
all
infants
in
this
analysis
consume
72
percent
of
the
aPAD
but
children
(1­
6
years
old)
still
consume
just
over
100
percent
of
the
aPAD
(i.
e.,
102
percent).
One
comment
from
Aventis
Crop
Science
was
that
1994
to
1998
CFSII
food
consumption
data
should
be
used
rather
than
1989
to
1992
data.
Results
for
most
subpopulations
were
actually
slightly
worse
(i.
e.,
generally,
5
to
10
percent
9
more
of
the
aPAD
was
consumed)
if
the
1994
to
1998
CFSII
data
were
used.

Estimated
chronic
dietary
risks
for
all
population
subgroups
are
not
of
concern.
Estimated
chronic
dietary
exposures
for
all
population
subgroups
consumed
<1
percent
of
the
cPAD.
The
CMBS
data
were
not
used
in
this
analysis
because
risks
are
low
and
CMBS
is
single
serving
data.

The
cancer
dietary
exposure
assessment
was
conducted
using
the
Q
1*
approach
(i.
e.,
linear,
low
dose
extrapolation).
Dietary
exposure
is
determined
from
consumption
and
residue
data,
as
was
done
for
the
acute
and
chronic
dietary
assessments.
The
food
exposure
is
then
multiplied
by
the
Q
1*
(8.75
x
10
­4
)
(mg/
kg/
day)
­1
for
carbaryl
to
determine
the
increased
risk
of
cancer
from
consuming
carbaryl
residues
in
food
over
a
lifetime
(70
years).
Risks
estimates
above
1
x
10
­6
are
of
concern.
Results
indicate
a
maximum
lifetime
risk
of
2.8
X
10
­8
for
the
general
US
population.

Concentrations
in
Water:

Monitoring
data
for
carbaryl
residues
in
ground
and
surface
water
are
available,
but
they
are
of
limited
utility
in
developing
estimated
environmental
concentrations
(EECs)
for
the
aggregate
dietary
(food
and
water)
risk
assessment.
Therefore,
computer
modeling
was
used
to
estimate
surface
(PRZM
3.12
and
EXAMS
2.97.7)
and
ground
(SCI­
GROW)
water
concentrations
expected
from
normal
agricultural
use.
These
model
estimates
were
compared
to
drinking
water
levels
of
concern
(DWLOCs),
the
theoretical
concentration
of
pesticide
in
drinking
water
that
would
be
an
acceptable
upper
limit
in
light
of
the
aggregate
exposure
to
that
pesticide
from
other
sources
(food
and
residential
use).
The
maximum
calculated
acute
and
chronic
surface
water
EECs
(494
ppb
and
28
ppb,
respectively)
resulted
from
use
on
citrus
in
Florida.
In
Florida,
the
majority
of
drinking
water
is
derived
from
groundwater
(>
90%)
so
high
surface
water
concentrations
do
not
necessarily
indicate
high
exposure.
As
a
result,
both
Florida
and
the
results
for
Oregon
apples
(the
next
highest
EECs)
have
been
considered
in
the
aggregate
assessment
(144
and
9
ppb
for
acute
and
chronic,
respectively).
Groundwater
EECs
for
the
acute
and
chronic
assessments
were
both
0.8
ppb
as
calculated
with
SCI­
GROW.

Use
of
Consumer
Products
(Residential
Handlers):

The
noncancer
risks
of
short­
term
dermal
and
inhalation
exposure
to
residential
handlers
were
calculated
using
Margins
of
Exposure
(MOEs)
in
which
the
doses
were
selected
from
the
21­
day
dermal
toxicology
study
using
technical
material
and
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study,
respectively.
The
target
(acceptable)
MOE
for
residential
short­
term
risk
assessments
is
100
based
on
the
customary
100x
uncertainty
factor
(i.
e.,
10x
for
inter­
and
10x
for
intra­
species)
and
the
FQPA
Safety
Factor
of
1.
Calculated
MOEs
that
equal
or
exceed
the
target
MOE
of
100
are
not
of
concern.
Combined
(dermal
and
inhalation)
risks
were
calculated
for
17
scenarios
(i.
e.,
52
site/
area/
rate
combinations
within
those
scenarios)
considered
representative
of
the
residential
uses,
application
rates
and
application
equipment
on
carbaryl
labels.
For
residential
handlers,
MOEs
associated
with
most
(40
of
52
considered)
are
10
generally
not
of
concern
because
they
exceed
the
Agency's
target
MOEs
for
noncancer
risk
assessments
(i.
e.,
MOE
=
100).
The
scenarios
of
concern
involve
the
use
of
dusts
(in
gardens
and
on
pets)
and
for
some
liquid
sprays
on
gardens.

The
risk
of
cancer
in
residential
handlers
was
calculated
considering
one
application
of
carbaryl
per
year
for
50
years.
The
annual
frequency
for
use
was
reported
to
be
1
to
2
times
per
year
(60
th
percentile)
and
5
times
per
year
(84
th
percentile)
by
the
registrant,
the
Aventis
Crop
Science,
at
the
SMART
meeting
held
with
the
Agency.
Risks
were
calculated
by
multiplying
the
Lifetime
Average
Daily
Dose
(LADD),
which
represents
dermal
and
inhalation
exposure
amortized
over
a
lifetime,
by
the
Q1*.
The
risk
considered
acceptable
is
1
x
10
­6
,
which
means
that
an
individual
receiving
a
lifetime
exposure
to
a
pesticide
increases
their
chance
of
developing
cancer
by
one
in
a
million.
Based
on
a
single
day
of
exposure,
cancer
risks
for
most
scenarios
are
in
the
10
­8
to
10
­10
range
although
there
is
one
scenario
where
the
risk
exceeds
1x10
­6
(dusting
dogs)
even
for
a
single
day
of
use.
Cancer
risks
have
also
been
calculated
using
another
approach
where
the
number
of
days
per
year
of
exposure
required
to
exceed
a
risk
of
1x10
­6
has
been
defined.
There
are
5
scenarios
where
the
allowable
days
per
year
of
exposure
is
less
than
or
equal
to
5
which
should
be
considered
in
conjunction
with
the
use/
usage
data
from
Aventis
Crop
Science
that
indicates
5
uses
per
year
is
the
84
th
percentile.
In
all
cases,
cancer
risk
estimates
require
less
restrictive
risk
mitigation
measures
than
do
the
corresponding
results
for
noncancer
concerns
(i.
e.,
noncancer
risks
appear
to
be
driving
the
need
for
risk
mitigation).

Residential
Postapplication
Exposures:

HED
considered
a
number
of
residential
postapplication
exposure
scenarios
for
toddlers,
youthaged
children
and
adults.
Short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
risks
from
declining
residues
were
calculated
for
multiple
scenarios,
including
exposures
to
treated
lawns
(toddlers
and
adults),
golf
courses
(adults),
gardens
(adults
and
youth­
aged
children)
and
pets
(toddlers).
Exposures
from
more
limited
uses
such
as
a
mosquito
adulticide
and
for
use
in
oyster
beds
were
also
considered.
Short­
and
intermediate­
term
dermal
risks
were
calculated
using
the
NOAEL
from
the
21­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
(i.
e.,
20
mg/
kg/
day).
Risks
from
short­
and
intermediate­
term
nondietary
ingestion
(e.
g.,
mouthing
behaviors)
were
calculated
using
NOAELs
from
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats
and
the
subchronic
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats
where
the
NOAELs
both
happen
to
be
1
mg/
kg/
day.
The
target
MOE
is
also
100
for
all
scenarios
considered.
MOEs
were
calculated
over
the
amount
of
time
it
took
residues
to
dissipate
or
out
to
a
30
day
interval
whichever
applied
depending
upon
the
data.
Short­
term
MOEs
were
calculated
based
on
the
residue
concentrations
for
each
day
while
intermediate­
term
risks
were
calculated
using
a
30
day
average.
The
Agency
has
short­
term
risk
concerns
for
exposures
to
adults
doing
heavy
yardwork,
for
toddlers
playing
on
treated
lawns,
and
for
toddlers
that
have
contact
with
treated
pets.
Activities
associated
with
home
gardening
(e.
g.,
harvesting)
and
golfing
for
adults,
home
gardening
for
youth­
aged
children
or
any
age
or
activity
considered
in
the
adulticide
mosquito
control
or
oyster
assessment
do
not
have
risk
concerns
even
on
the
day
of
application
(i.
e.,
MOEs
$
100
on
the
day
of
application).
For
adults,
the
MOEs
for
heavy
yardwork
do
not
meet
or
exceed
risk
targets
(i.
e.,
MOE
$
100)
up
to
5
days
after
application.
For
toddlers,
the
Agency
has
concerns
for
pet
treatments
and
also
for
lawn
uses.
In
fact,
pet
uses
never
reach
acceptable
levels
even
30
days
after
application
and
not
until
18
days
at
the
maximum
application
rate
considered
on
turf.
Toddler
MOEs
from
pet
and
turf
uses
represent
total
exposures
from
multiple
pathways.
For
the
pet
uses,
dermal
and
11
hand­
to­
mouth
exposures
essentially
both
equally
contribute
to
the
overall
estimate.
For
the
turf
uses,
dermal
and
hand­
to­
mouth
exposures
are
also
the
key
contributors
to
the
overall
estimates.
The
Agency
does
not
have
intermediate­
term
risk
concerns
for
adults
and
youth­
aged
children
for
any
of
the
uses
considered
including
lawncare,
home
gardens,
golfing,
and
any
aspect
of
adulticide
mosquito
control
or
uses
in
oyster
beds.
In
contrast,
the
Agency
does
have
intermediate­
term
risk
concerns
for
all
toddler
exposure
scenarios
considered
(i.
e.,
pet
treatments
and
lawncare
uses).
As
with
the
short­
term
MOEs,
pet
and
turf
uses
represent
total
exposures
where
the
significant
contributions
to
overall
exposures
are
again
made
equally
from
the
dermal
and
hand­
to­
mouth
exposure
pathways.

Ingestion
of
carbaryl
granules
is
also
a
potential
source
of
exposure
because
children
can
eat
them
if
they
are
found
in
treated
lawns
or
gardens.
This
scenario
is
considered
episodic
by
the
Agency
and
is
generally
not
recommended
as
a
basis
for
risk
management
decisions.
For
illustrative
purposes,
if
one
considers
a
2
percent
formulation
and
the
density
of
soil
(0.67
mL/
gram,
many
granulars
are
claybased),
only
0.005
mL
of
formulation
would
need
to
be
ingested
to
have
a
risk
concern
(i.
e.,
7.5
mg
*
1g/
1000mg
*
0.67
mL/
gram).
[Note:
This
volume
is
orders
of
magnitude
less
than
a
teaspoon
of
granular
formulation
(i.
e.,
0.1%
of
a
teaspoon
where
a
tsp.
=
5
mL).]

Use
in
Tobacco:

In
addition
to
the
routine
residential
risk
assessment,
HED
calculated
the
risks
of
carbaryl
exposure
in
tobacco
because
a
pyrolysis
study
was
submitted
by
the
registrant
that
quantified
residues
of
carbaryl
at
a
level
of
44.58
ppm
in
tobacco
smoke
(side­
stream
and
main­
stream
combined).
Since
this
is
a
composited
sample
of
main­
stream
and
side­
stream
smoke,
it
greatly
exaggerates
the
actual
exposure
to
the
smoker,
whose
primary
route
of
exposure
is
via
main­
stream
smoke.
HED
further
assumed
that
100
percent
inhaled
is
absorbed
(i.
e.,
that
none
of
the
residue
is
exhaled
along
with
the
smoke).
The
MOE
for
consuming
15
cigarettes
per
day
is
104
even
with
the
conservative
basis
of
the
assessment.

Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs:

The
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
requires
that
the
Agency
consider
exposures
from
different
sources
(i.
e.,
food
water,
and
residential)
that
results
in
an
aggregate
risk
for
each
chemical.
Aggregate
risks
are
calculated
by
considering
food
or
food
and
residential
(depends
upon
the
specific
scenario),
subtracting
these
from
the
allowable
exposure
limit,
and,
if
the
exposure
limit
has
not
been
exceeded,
then
calculating
Drinking
Water
Levels
of
Concern
(DWLOCs)
to
compare
to
surface
or
groundwater
Estimated
Environmental
Concentrations
(EECs).
In
many
residential
scenarios,
MOEs
exceed
the
Agency's
risk
targets
making
the
calculation
of
DWLOCs
and
aggregate
risks
for
those
scenarios
inappropriate
because
the
allowable
exposure
limits
have
already
been
exceeded.
Additionally,
acute
dietary
risks
were
also
exceeded
for
infants
and
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
at
the
99.9
th
percentile
when
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS)
was
not
considered
in
the
assessment
(133
%
of
aPAD).
However,
the
risk
picture
could
substantively
change
if
residential
risks
are
refined
based
on
updated
use
information
from
the
carbaryl
use
survey
yet
to
be
submitted
to
the
Agency,
and
the
Agency
uses
the
CMBS
data
even
with
the
caveats
associated
with
that
study.
Keeping
this
in
mind,
the
Agency
completed
DWLOC
12
and
aggregate
risk
calculations
for
illustrative
purposes
using
a
number
of
representative
exposure
scenarios
where
the
residential
and
dietary
risk
estimates
did
not
already
exceed
the
Agency's
level
of
concern.
For
example,
an
acute
assessment
with
CMBS
data
and
short­
term
assessments
where
residential
handler
risks
weren't
already
of
concern
were
completed.

The
acute
aggregate
assessment
indicates
that
even
with
the
use
of
the
CMBS,
aggregate
risks
when
surface
water
is
the
source
of
drinking
water,
are
still
of
concern
for
all
infants,
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
and
children
(7
to
12
years
old)
regardless
of
whether
or
not
Florida
citrus
or
Oregon
apple
EECs
are
used.
If
Florida
citrus
surface
water
EECs
are
solely
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
of
concern
for
all
subpopulations.
[Note:
For
characterization
of
the
EECs,
surface
water
EECs
for
Florida
citrus
exceed
exposure
limits
alone
without
even
considering
corresponding
food
intakes
for
all
populations.
Additionally,
the
surface
water
EECs
for
Oregon
apples
alone
also
exceed
exposure
limits,
even
without
including
food
intakes,
for
infants
and
children.]
Acute
aggregate
risks
for
all
subpopulations
are
not
of
concern
if
groundwater
is
the
source
of
drinking
water.
Chronic
aggregate
risks
were
not
of
concern
for
any
subpopulation
regardless
of
the
source
of
drinking
water,
even
considering
the
Florida
surface
water
EECs.
In
the
short­
term
assessment,
the
Agency
selected
representative
scenarios
where
residential
risks
alone
were
not
of
concern
including
mosquito
control,
oyster
harvesting,
golfing,
garden
harvest,
and
several
handler
scenarios
(handlers
all
at
average
rates,
max
rate
scenarios
were
of
concern
for
residential
exposures
alone).
If
surface
water
EECs
based
on
Oregon
apples
or
groundwater
EECs
from
SciGrow
are
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern
for
the
selected
scenarios.
If
EECs
from
Florida
citrus
are
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern
for
the
selected
scenarios
except
for
application
of
dusts
to
gardens.
Separate
intermediate­
term
aggregate
risk
and
DWLOC
calculations
were
not
completed
for
carbaryl
because
the
short­
term
aggregate
risk
estimates
essentially
present
the
same
results
since
the
hazard
inputs
are
numerically
identical.
The
only
major
differences
would
be
the
postapplication
results
where,
instead
of
a
single
day
exposure
estimate,
the
exposures
represent
a
30
day
average
(i.
e.,
risks
would
be
accordingly
lower
since
an
average
rather
than
a
single
high
end
day
was
considered).
Aggregate
cancer
risks
were
not
of
concern
for
any
subpopulation
regardless
of
the
source
of
drinking
water,
even
considering
the
Florida
surface
water
EECs.

Cumulative
Risks:

Carbaryl
is
a
member
of
the
carbamate
class
of
pesticides.
This
class
also
includes
the
aldicarb,
methomyl
and
oxamyl
among
others.
HED
did
not
perform
a
cumulative
risk
assessment
as
part
of
this
reregistration
review
for
carbaryl
because
HED
has
not
yet
initiated
a
review
to
determine
if
there
are
any
other
chemical
substances
that
have
a
mechanism
of
toxicity
common
with
that
of
carbaryl.
For
purposes
of
this
reregistration
decision,
EPA
has
assumed
that
carbaryl
does
not
have
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
with
other
substances.
13
Occupational
Handlers:

There
is
significant
potential
for
exposure
to
carbaryl
users
in
a
variety
of
agricultural
and
commercial
settings.
Tasks
associated
with
occupational
carbaryl
use
include
mixing,
loading
and
applying
the
chemical
or
guiding
aerial
applications
(flaggers).
All
these
activities
are
collectively
referred
to
as
handler
tasks.
A
total
of
28
scenarios
were
considered
representative
of
the
range
of
handler
activities,
crops
or
acres
treated
and
equipment
used.
The
risks
from
short­
and
intermediateterm
dermal
exposures
and
short­
and
intermediate­
term
inhalation
exposures
in
these
scenarios
were
calculated
and
then
added
together
to
obtain
overall
risk
estimates
at
varying
levels
of
personal
protection.
The
target
MOEs
were
100
for
short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
exposures.
[Note:
Does
not
include
FQPA
Safety
Factors
as
they
are
not
applicable
to
occupational
exposures.]
Risks
from
longterm
(chronic)
exposures
were
also
calculated
for
a
limited
number
of
scenarios
in
the
ornamental/
greenhouse
industry.
The
short­
and
intermediate­
term
risk
assessments
were
conducted,
as
described
above.
The
long­
term
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl
was
based
on
a
1
year
dog
feeding
study
where
effects
(ChEI)
were
observed
at
3.1
mg/
kg/
day
(LOAEL).
The
target
MOE
was
300
(customary
100x
plus
3x
for
use
of
LOAEL).
Risks
were
calculated
assuming
one
of
eight
possible
levels
of
personal
protection
equipment,
ranging
from
a
baseline
of
typical
work
clothing
(long­
sleeved
shirt
and
long
pants,
no
respiratory
protection
and
no
chemical­
resistant
gloves)
to
engineering
controls,
such
as
a
closed
cab
or
closed
loading
system.
Current
carbaryl
labels
typically
require
that
handlers
wear
long
pants,
long­
sleeved
shirts,
and
gloves
but
do
not
require
respirators.
For
most
scenarios,
the
noncancer
risks
for
this
personal
protection
ensemble
do
not
meet
Agency
risk
requirements
and
additional
levels
of
personal
protection
are
required
to
achieve
Agency
risk
targets.
In
fact,
in
many
cases
engineering
controls
such
as
closed
loading
systems
or
closed
cab
tractors
are
needed.
The
Agency
does
have
risk
concerns
over
the
use
of
carbaryl
in
some
agricultural
and
other
occupational
settings
regardless
of
the
level
of
personal
protection
used
(i.
e.,
MOEs
at
any
level
of
personal
protection
are
<targets).
As
would
be
expected,
these
scenarios
with
the
highest
associated
risk
also
have
high
daily
chemical
use
amounts
based
on
application
rates
or
high
acreages
treated
or
the
exposures
for
the
scenarios
in
question
are
relatively
high.
Generally,
the
areas
that
appear
to
be
problematic
include:
large
acreage
aerial
and
chemigation
applications
in
agriculture
or
for
wide
area
treatments
such
as
mosquito
control;
airblast
applications
at
higher
rates;
pet
grooming;
and
the
use
of
certain
handheld
equipment
for
applications
to
turf
or
gardens
(e.
g.,
bellygrinder).
This
general
trend
was
essentially
the
same
for
exposures
of
any
duration.
Several
data
gaps
were
also
identified
in
many
different
use
areas
that
include:
dust
use
for
animal
grooming
and
in
agriculture;
various
specialized
hand
equipment
application
methods
(e.
g.,
powered
backpack,
power
hand
fogger,
and
tree
injection);
and
nursery
operations
such
as
seedling
dips.

The
risk
of
cancer
for
occupational
handlers
was
calculated
for
two
populations,
private
growers
(10
applications
per
year)
and
commercial
applicators
(30
applications
per
year),
using
the
same
28
scenarios.
According
to
Agency
policy,
acceptable
cancer
risks
for
occupational
exposure
to
pesticides
can
vary
from
1x10
­4
to
1x10
­6
,
depending
on
the
course
of
action
taken
by
the
Agency
as
outlined
in
the
2
The
Agency
has
defined
a
range
of
acceptable
cancer
risks
based
on
a
policy
memorandum
dated
August
14,
1996,
by
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
Director
Dan
Barolo.
This
memo
refers
to
a
predetermined
quantified
"level
of
concern"
for
occupational
carcinogenic
risk.
Occupational
carcinogenic
risks
that
are
1
x
10
­6
or
lower
require
no
risk
management
action.
For
those
chemicals
subject
to
reregistration,
the
Agency
is
to
carefully
examine
uses
with
estimated
risks
in
the
10
­6
to
10
­4
range
to
seek
ways
of
cost­
effectively
reducing
risks.
If
carcinogenic
risks
are
in
this
range
for
occupational
handlers,
increased
levels
of
personal
protection
are
warranted
as
is
commonly
applied
with
noncancer
risk
estimates
(e.
g.,
additional
PPE
or
engineering
controls).
Carcinogenic
risks
that
remain
above
1.0
x
10
­4
at
the
highest
level
of
mitigation
appropriate
for
that
scenario
remain
a
concern.

14
the
subject
policy

.
Risks
for
corresponding
scenarios
based
on
cancer
concerns
were
generally
less
than
the
corresponding
noncancer
results
across
all
scenarios.
In
fact,
in
all
but
one
scenario,
cancer
risks
were
<1x10
­4
at
current
carbaryl
label
requirements
of
single
layer
clothing,
gloves,
and
no
respirator
for
both
private
growers
and
commercial
applicators
(i.
e.,
mixing/
loading
wettable
powders
for
wide
area
aerial
applications).
Higher
levels
of
personal
protection
reduce
this
risk
to
<1x10
­4
in
both
populations.
If
a
1x10
­6
risk
level
is
specified
as
a
concern,
results
are
similar
in
that
risks
for
a
majority
of
scenarios
are
<1x10
­6
at
current
label
requirements.
In
fact,
only
8
of
the
128
scenarios
considered
for
private
applicators
have
cancer
risks
>1x10
­6
(and
less
than
1x10
­4
)
even
with
the
most
protective
ensembles
of
protective
clothing
or
engineering
controls.
For
commercial
applicators,
results
indicate
that
risks
for
about
half
of
the
scenarios
considered
are
<1x10
­6
at
current
label
requirements
and
that
only
21
of
the
128
scenarios
considered
have
cancer
risks
>1x10
­6
(and
less
than
1x10
­4
)
even
with
the
most
protective
ensembles
of
either
protective
clothing
or
engineering
controls.

Occupational
Postapplication
(Reentry
Workers):

Workers
can
be
exposed
to
carbaryl
residues
when
entering
previously
treated
areas
to
perform
certain
activities,
such
as
harvesting.
Current
label
requirements
specify
12
hour
Restricted
Entry
Intervals
(REIs)
while
Pre­
Harvest
Intervals
(PHIs)
are
less
than
7
days
for
most
crops
with
some
as
long
as
28
days.
Non­
cancer
risks
from
short­
and
intermediate­
term
dermal
postapplication
exposure
were
calculated
for
18
representative
crop
groupings
using
the
MOE
approach.
The
risks
from
long­
term
dermal
exposures
were
calculated
for
only
a
limited
number
of
scenarios
in
the
greenhouse
and
floriculture
industries.
For
each
scenario,
the
risk
on
the
day
of
application
was
calculated,
along
with
the
time
required
to
reach
the
target
MOE,
allowing
for
dissipation
of
the
carbaryl
residues.
For
all
but
the
lowest
exposure
scenarios
in
some
crops,
MOEs
do
not
meet
or
exceed
target
MOEs
until
several
days
after
application.
If
short­
term
risks
are
considered,
MOEs
meet
or
exceed
target
MOEs
generally
in
the
range
of
3
to
5
days
after
application
for
lower
to
medium
exposure
activities
and
from
8
to
12
days
after
application
in
most
higher
exposure
scenarios.
If
intermediate­
term
risks
are
considered,
MOEs
are
not
of
concern
based
on
a
30
day
average
exposures
except
for
higher
level
exposures
such
as
harvesting
in
some
crops.
Chronic
exposures
are
of
concern
for
the
cut
flower
industry
but
not
for
other
general
greenhouse
and
nursery
production
activities
based
on
the
most
recent
data.

Cancer
risks
were
calculated
for
private
growers
and
professional
farmworkers
with
the
only
difference
being
the
annual
frequency
of
exposure
days.
Cancer
risks
for
private
growers
and
commercial
farmworkers
are
generally
in
the
10
­8
to
10
­6
range
on
the
day
of
application.
If
a
1x10
­4
cancer
risk
is
the
target,
the
current
REI
would
be
adequate
for
all
scenarios
considered
in
the
15
assessment.
If
a
1x10
­6
cancer
risk
is
used,
then
durations
longer
than
the
current
REI
should
be
considered
for
some
cases
which
are
not
considered
low
to
medium
exposures.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
cancer
risk
calculations
are
less
restrictive
than
noncancer
risk
estimates
for
the
same
scenarios
in
all
cases.
Many
mechanized
or
partially
mechanized
processes
are
possibly
associated
with
the
use
of
carbaryl
that
may
limit
or
eliminate
exposures
(e.
g.,
combines
for
grain
harvest).

Human
and
Domestic
Animal
Incidents:

HED
evaluated
reports
of
human
carbaryl
poisonings
and
adverse
reactions
associated
with
its
use
from
the
following
sources:
OPP
Incident
Data
System
(IDS);
Poison
Control
Centers'
Toxic
Exposure
Surveillance
System;
California
Department
of
Pesticide
Regulation;
the
National
Pesticide
Telecommunications
Network
(NPTN);
open
literature;
and
an
unpublished
study
submitted
by
the
registrant.
The
data
from
IDS
indicated
that
a
majority
of
cases
from
carbaryl
exposure
involved
dermal
reactions.
A
number
of
other
cases
involved
asthmatics
and
people
who
experienced
hives
and
other
allergic
type
reactions.
It
is
noted
that
the
dermal
sensitization
study
in
the
guinea
pig
was
negative.
Reports
of
allergic­
type
reactions
in
humans
could
be
evidence
of
a
difference
in
species
sensitivity
or
could
be
attributable
to
inert
ingredients
in
the
marketed
formulations.
It
is
recommended
that
labels
for
products
should
advise
that
carbaryl
can
cause
sensitizing
effects
in
some
people.
According
to
California
data,
about
half
of
the
cases
involved
skin
and
eye
effects
in
handlers.
About
a
quarter
of
the
skin
reactions
were
due
to
workers
that
were
exposed
to
residues
on
crops.
Reports
from
the
literature
are
very
limited
but
tend
to
support
the
finding
that
carbaryl
has
irritant
properties.
The
Poison
Control
Center
cases
involving
non­
occupational
adults
and
older
children
showed
an
increased
risk
in
five
of
the
six
measures
used
for
comparing
carbaryl
incidents
to
all
other
pesticides.
The
carbaryl
cases
were
almost
twice
as
likely
to
require
serious
health
care
(hospitalization
or
treatment
in
a
critical
care
unit)
and
were
two
and
a
half
times
more
likely
to
experience
major
medical
outcome
(life­
threatening
effects
or
significant
residual
disability)
than
other
pesticides.
This
pattern
of
increased
risk
was
not
seen
among
occupational
reports
or
in
young
children.
This
may
mean
that
careless
handling
by
non­
professionals
is
a
particular
hazard.
Five
case
report
studies
suggested
that
carbaryl
may
be
a
cause
of
chronic
neurological
or
psychological
problems.
Some
of
these
effects
appear
to
be
consistent
with
those
reported
from
organophosphate
poisoning.
However,
unlike
organophosphates,
no
controlled
studies
have
been
undertaken.
If
such
effects
occur
as
a
result
of
over­
exposure
to
carbaryl,
they
appear
to
be
relatively
rare.
The
effects
reported
among
the
five
case
reports
are
too
inconsistent
to
draw
any
conclusions,
but
do
suggest
the
need
for
further
study.
The
epidemiologic
study
submitted
by
the
registrant
compared
mortality
rates
in
plant
workers
exposed
to
carbaryl
to
the
general
population.
HED
concluded
that
the
sample
of
workers
was
too
small
and
the
period
of
follow­
up
too
short
to
permit
definitive
conclusions.

The
incident
reports
on
domestic
animals
in
IDS
were
evaluated.
Based
on
limited
data,
there
is
some
evidence
that
young
kittens
may
be
susceptible
to
adverse
reactions
to
carbaryl.
It
is
recommended
that
all
labels
for
carbaryl
products
used
on
cats
contain
the
age
restriction
stated
in
PR
Notice
96­
6
(should
not
be
used
in
kittens
less
than
12
weeks
of
age).
16
Issues
For
Consideration:

There
are
population­
based
monitoring
studies
in
the
published
literature
or
available
from
various
governmental
agencies
in
which
carbaryl
metabolites
are
measured
in
body
fluids
or
environmental
media.
For
example,
the
Agency's
Office
of
Research
and
Development,
along
with
other
Agencies,
has
funded
a
project
entitled
Pesticide
Exposure
in
Children
Living
in
Agricultural
Areas
along
the
United
States­
Mexico
Border
Yuma
County,
Arizona.
Preliminary
results
of
this
study
indicate
that
carbaryl
residues
were
identified
in
the
dust
of
20
percent
of
the
152
houses
sampled
and
in
approximately
24
percent
in
25
samples
collected
in
6
schools
in
the
same
region.
With
regard
to
this
specific
example,
current
Agency
policy
is
not
to
use
house
dust
estimates
to
calculate
risks
because
of
a
lack
of
an
appropriate
exposure
model.
Also,
in
a
1995
study
conducted
by
the
Centers
For
Disease
Control
(Hill
et
al)
entitled
Pesticide
Residues
In
Urine
Of
Adults
Living
In
The
United
States:
Reference
Range
Concentrations,
1000
adults
were
monitored
via
urine
collection.
One
of
the
analytes
measured
in
that
study
(1­
naphthol)
is
a
potential
metabolite
of
carbaryl
as
well
as
of
napthalene
and
napropamide
which
may
be
a
confounding
factor.
This
metabolite
(1­
naphthol)
was
identified
in
86
percent
of
the
1000
adults
monitored.
Data
from
this
study
were
not
used
quantitatively
in
the
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl
because
of
the
uncertainties
associated
with
them,
such
as
the
exact
contribution
of
each
possible
compound
to
the
overall
levels
and
no
linked
exposure
information.
HED
instead
considered
them
a
qualitative
indicator
that
exposures
in
the
general
population
are
likely
to
occur.
As
more
data
become
available,
the
Agency
will
consider
the
information
in
an
effort
to
refine
the
assessment.
It
should
also
be
noted
that
Aventis
Crop
Science
has
completed
and
is
in
the
process
of
submitting
to
the
Agency
a
biomonitoring
study
of
individuals
in
residences
following
the
application
by
a
member
of
the
household
to
the
lawn
and
either
the
vegetable
garden
or
ornamental
flowers.
A
biomonitoring
study
of
field
workers
during
harvesting
and
hand
thinning
operations
in
apples
and
cherries
will
also
be
submitted
to
the
Agency.
Based
on
personal
communication
with
Aventis
Crop
Science
scientists,
preliminary
results
from
the
residential
biomonitoring
study
indicate
that
the
highest
percentiles
of
the
distribution
of
the
younger
children
in
the
homes
were
similar
to
those
predicted
in
the
Agency's
turf
risk
assessment
for
toddlers
that
are
intended
to
represent
the
higher
percentiles
of
the
exposure
distribution.
Preliminary
field
worker
results
also
appear
to
not
be
significantly
different
from
Agency
estimates.

The
database
for
carbaryl
contains
good
quality
studies
which
are
sufficient
for
conducting
a
risk
assessment
for
the
reregistration
of
the
chemical.
However,
certain
key
information,
which
would
help
refine
the
risk
assessment,
is
missing.
The
one
toxicology
data
gap
includes
a
90­
day
inhalation
study
in
the
rat.
The
elimination
of
poultry
from
the
acute
and
chronic
dietary
risk
assessment
significantly
reduced
the
risks.
For
residential
postapplication
risk
assessments,
there
are
no
data
on
the
amount
of
residues
transferrable
from
treated
pets
to
humans.
Additional
residue
data
on
turf
would
also
help
refine
the
hand­
to­
mouth
and
object­
to­
mouth
toddler
exposures.
For
the
occupational
handler
risk
assessments,
several
handler
scenarios
lack
high
quality
data.
For
postapplication
workers,
additional
residue
dissipation
data
along
with
data
from
practices
not
well
represented
in
Agency
Policy
003
(Transfer
Coefficients)
are
needed
to
refine
the
assessment
(e.
g.,
partially
mechanized
practices
that
could
involve
contact).

3.1
Hazard
Profile
The
updated
Toxicology
Chapter
of
the
RED
was
prepared
by
Dr.
Virginia
Dobozy
(D282980).
The
toxicology
data
base
is
of
good
quality
and
is
essentially
complete.
A
90­
day
inhalation
study
with
cholinesterase
measurements
is
required.
The
database
provides
sufficient
information
for
selecting
toxicity
endpoints
for
risk
assessment
and
therefore,
supports
a
reregistration
eligibility
decision
for
the
currently
registered
uses.

Carbaryl
is
a
carbamate
insecticide.
Its
primary
mode
of
toxic
action
is
through
cholinesterase
inhibition
(ChEI)
after
single
or
multiple
exposures.
In
most
of
the
toxicology
studies
in
which
ChEI
was
measured,
it
was
the
endpoint
used
to
set
the
Lowest
Observed
Adverse
Effect
Level
(LOAEL).

The
acute
toxicity
studies
showed
that
carbaryl
was
relatively
toxic
with
acute
oral
dosing
(Tox.
Category
II);
but
the
acute
dermal
and
inhalation
toxicities
were
low
(Tox.
Categories
III
and
IV,
respectively).
Carbaryl
was
not
a
dermal
or
eye
irritant
and
was
not
a
dermal
sensitizer
in
animal
studies
(Table
1).
However,
human
incidents
of
dermal
irritation
and
dermal
manifestations
of
an
allergic
response
have
been
reported
(see
section
7.4
below
for
more
information).

The
neurotoxicity
data
showed
that
carbaryl
was
not
a
delayed
neurotoxicant
in
the
hen.
In
the
acute
neurotoxicity
study
in
the
rat
after
a
single
dose
of
10
mg/
kg
carbaryl,
ChEI
was
observed
in
plasma,
whole
blood,
red
blood
cells
(RBC)
and
brain.
At
the
next
higher
dose
(50
mg/
kg),
clinical
signs
typical
of
carbamate
toxicity
were
observed.
In
the
subchronic
neurotoxicity
study
after
90
days
of
administration,
clinical
signs
of
toxicity
were
seen
at
the
same
dose
(10
mg/
kg/
day)
as
plasma,
whole
blood,
RBC
and
brain
ChEI.
There
was
no
evidence
of
structural
neuropathology
in
these
studies.

No
subchronic
studies
in
the
rat
or
dog
are
available,
except
for
the
subchronic
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats
and
4­
week
dermal
toxicity
studies
in
rats
(one
with
technical
chemical
and
two
with
formulations).
One
of
the
dermal
toxicity
studies
was
useful
for
risk
assessment.
In
this
study,
the
systemic
NOAEL
was
20
mg/
kg/
day
based
on
decreased
RBC
ChEI
in
males
and
females
and
brain
ChEI
in
males
at
50
mg/
kg/
day.
The
chronic
toxicity
data
showed
that,
in
dogs,
decreases
in
plasma,
RBC
and
brain
ChEI
were
observed
at
10
mg/
kg/
day;
clinical
signs
of
toxicity
were
also
observed
in
both
sexes
at
31
mg/
kg/
day.
Brain
and
plasma
ChEI
were
decreased
in
female
dogs
at
3.1
mg/
kg/
day.
In
the
mouse,
clinical
signs
of
toxicity
were
not
typical
of
ChEI,
but
there
was
ChEI
(plasma,
RBC
and
brain)
at
146
mg/
kg/
day.
In
the
chronic
toxicity
study
in
rats,
carbaryl
at
the
highest
dose
(350
mg/
kg/
day
in
males
and
485
mg/
kg/
day
in
females)
caused
a
variety
of
toxic
effects
in
the
liver,
kidneys
and
urinary
bladder.
It
also
induced
an
increase
in
the
incidence
of
thyroid
follicular
cell
hypertrophy
and
degeneration
of
sciatic
nerves
and
skeletal
muscle.
RBC
ChEI
was
decreased
in
males
at
60
mg/
kg/
day
and
in
females
at
79
mg/
kg/
day.
The
lowest
LOAEL
in
the
chronic
studies
was
in
the
chronic
dog
study,
i.
e.,
3.1
mg/
kg/
day,
which
was
the
lowest
dose
in
females.
In
a
follow­
up
5­
week
study
in
dogs
to
clarify
the
NOAEL
for
ChEI,
plasma
ChEI
was
decreased
in
males
at
3.83
mg/
kg/
day;
no
effects
were
observed
at
1.43
mg/
kg/
day.
21
In
a
prenatal
developmental
toxicity
study
in
the
rat,
maternal
toxicity
was
observed
at
the
same
dose
(10
mg/
kg/
day)
as
developmental
toxicity;
the
NOAEL
was
4
mg/
kg/
day.
Developmental
effects
included
decreased
fetal
body
weight
and
increased
incomplete
ossification
of
multiple
bones.
In
a
prenatal
developmental
toxicity
study
in
the
rabbit,
the
maternal
and
developmental
LOAELs
were
50
mg/
kg/
day
and
150
mg/
kg/
day,
respectively.
The
respective
NOAELs
were
5
mg/
kg/
day
and
50
mg/
kg/
day.
The
only
evidence
of
developmental
toxicity
was
a
decrease
in
fetal
body
weight.
These
studies
showed
no
evidence
of
a
qualitative
or
quantitative
increased
susceptibility.
In
the
reproduction
study,
there
was
evidence
of
a
quantitative
offspring
susceptibility.
The
LOAEL
for
parental
systemic
toxicity
was
1500
ppm
(92.43­
124.33
mg/
kg/
day
for
males
and
110.78­
135.54
mg/
kg/
day
for
females)
based
on
decreased
body
weight,
weight
gain,
and
feed
consumption.
The
NOAEL
was
300
ppm
(23.49­
31.34
mg/
kg/
day
for
males
and
26.91­
36.32
mg/
kg/
day
for
females).
The
LOAEL
for
offspring
toxicity
was
300
ppm
(23.49­
31.34
mg/
kg/
day
for
males
and
26.91­
36.32
mg/
kg/
day
for
females)
based
on
increased
numbers
of
F2
pups
with
no
milk
in
the
stomach
and
decreased
pup
survival.
The
NOAEL
was
75
ppm
(4.67­
5.79
mg/
kg/
day
for
males
and
5.56­
6.41
mg/
kg/
day
for
females).
In
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study,
there
was
evidence
of
qualitative
susceptibility.
Clinical
signs
of
toxicity
and
plasma
and
brain
ChEI
were
seen
in
maternal
animals
at
the
same
dose
(10
mg/
kg/
day)
as
changes
in
brain
morphometric
measurements
(decreases
in
cerebellar
measurements
in
females
on
Day
11
post­
partum)
were
observed
in
offspring;
however,
brain
measurements
were
not
conducted
at
the
next
lower
dose.

The
Health
Effects
Division's
(HED)
Cancer
Assessment
Review
Committee
(CARC)(
11/
7/
01)
classified
carbaryl
as
Likely
to
be
carcinogenic
in
humans
based
on
an
increased
incidence
of
hemangiosarcomas
in
male
mice
at
all
doses
tested
(100,
1000
and
8000
ppm).
The
Q1*,
based
on
the
CD­
1
mouse
dietary
study
with
¾
Interspecies
Scaling
Factor,
is
8.75
x
10
­4
(mg/
kg/
day)
­1
in
human
equivalents.
In
addition
to
the
required
carcinogenicity
studies
in
mice
and
rats,
the
registrant
submitted
a
special
study
in
genetically
modified
mice.
Carbaryl
was
administered
to
heterozygous
p53­
deficient
(knockout)
male
mice
in
the
diet
at
concentrations
of
up
to
4000
ppm
(716.6
mg/
kg/
day)
for
six
months.
There
was
no
evidence
of
neoplastic
or
preneoplastic
changes
in
the
vascular
tissues
of
any
organ.
A
model
validation
study
demonstrated
that
vascular
tumors
occur
in
heterozygous
p53
deficient
mice
within
six
months
of
administration
of
a
known
genotoxic
carcinogen
(urethane).

A
recent
review
of
the
data
from
the
submitted
studies
and
the
published
literature
show
that
carbaryl
is
clastogenic
in
vitro.
The
wide
variety
of
induced
aberrations
(both
simple
and
complex)
was
consistent
between
the
submitted
micronucleus
study
and
the
open
literature.
However,
there
are
inconsistencies
relative
to
the
requirement
for
S9
activation.
Nevertheless,
the
two
in
vivo
studies
for
micronuclei
induction
or
chromosome
aberrations
were
negative.
Similarly,
the
6­
month
p53
knockout
transgenic
mouse
bioassay
was
negative.
Carbaryl
was
also
negative
for
DNA
binding
in
the
livers
of
mice
treated
with
8000
ppm
for
2
weeks.
Metabolism
studies
identified
epoxide
intermediates
of
carbaryl
which
were
found
to
be
conjugated
to
glucuronide,
rapidly
metabolized
and
excreted
as
any
endogenous
epoxide
would
be.
Overall,
these
findings
indicate
that
carbaryl
produces
epoxides
and
its
DNA
reactivity
is
manifested
as
chromosomal
aberrations
in
cultured
mammalian
cells.
Other
in
vitro
22
studies
indicate
carbaryl's
effects
on
karyokinesis
and
cytokinesis,
as
well
as
stress
genes
associated
with
oxidative
damage.
Based
on
these
considerations,
the
CARC
concluded
that
there
is
a
concern
for
mutagenicity,
which
is
somewhat
lessened
because
of
the
lack
of
an
effect
in
in
vivo
mutagenicity
studies.

The
metabolism
data
in
the
rat
indicated
that
radiolabeled
carbaryl
was
readily
absorbed
with
oral
dosing,
distributed
to
various
organs,
metabolized
and
formed
conjugated
metabolites
with
compounds
such
glucuronic
acid.
A
total
of
20
components
was
found,
and
2
major
metabolites
were
identified,
naphthyl
sulfate
and
naphthyl
glucuronide.
Much
of
the
radioactivity
was
eliminated
within
24
hours
after
dosing
(86%
in
urine
and
11%
in
feces).
Seven
days
post
dosing,
negligible
amounts
of
the
administered
dose
were
found
in
tissues.
Several
special
metabolism
studies
were
conducted
to
explore
a
mechanism
for
the
increase
in
tumor
incidence
in
mice.
The
results
appear
to
show
that
high
doses
of
carbaryl
treatment
(1154
mg/
kg)
led
to
a
"phenobarbital"
type
of
induction
of
liver
xenobioticmetabolizing
enzymes
and
interaction
of
carbaryl
with
chromatin
protein
in
mice.
A
dermal
absorption
study
indicated
that
12.7%
of
a
carbaryl
formulation
(43.9%
a.
i.)
was
absorbed.

The
toxicology
profile
for
carbaryl
is
presented
in
Appendix
1.

3.2
FQPA
Considerations
The
HIARC
(February
19,
2002
meeting)
concluded
that
there
is
a
concern
for
pre­
and/
or
postnatal
toxicity
resulting
from
exposure
to
carbaryl.

3.2.1
Determination
of
Susceptibility
There
was
no
evidence
of
quantitative
or
qualitative
susceptibility
following
in
utero
exposures
in
developmental
studies
in
the
rat
and
rabbit.

In
the
reproduction
study,
there
was
evidence
of
quantitative
susceptibility
of
offsprings.
The
LOAEL
for
parental
systemic
toxicity
was
based
on
decreased
body
weight,
weight
gain,
and
feed
consumption;
the
NOAEL
was
27
mg/
kg/
day
in
males
and
30
mg/
kg/
day
in
females.
In
the
offspring
the
LOAEL
was
based
on
increased
numbers
of
F2
pups
with
no
milk
in
the
stomach
and
decreased
pup
survival;
the
NOAEL
was
5
mg/
kg/
day
in
males
and
6
mg/
kg/
day
in
females.
No
adverse
effects
were
observed
in
the
reproductive
parameters.

In
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study,
there
was
evidence
of
qualitative
susceptibility.
For
maternal
toxicity,
the
LOAEL
was
based
on
decreased
body
weight
gain,
alterations
in
Functional
Observational
Battery
measurements
and
inhibition
of
plasma,
whole
blood
and
brain
cholinesterase
activity;
the
NOAEL
was
1
mg/
kg/
day.
For
developmental
neurotoxicity,
the
LOAEL
was
based
on
the
morphometric
changes
seen
in
the
brain
of
the
offsprings;
the
NOAEL
was
1
mg/
kg/
day.
23
3.2.2
Degree
of
Concern
Analysis
and
Residual
Uncertainties
The
HIARC
concluded
that
there
is
no
residual
concern
in
the
two­
generation
reproduction
study
because
the
dose­
response
effects
in
pups
are
well­
characterized
and
the
NOAEL
for
the
offspring
effects
is
above
that
which
was
used
for
establishing
the
chronic
Reference
Dose
(RfD)
for
chronic
dietary
risk
assessment.

The
HIARC
selected
the
LOAEL
of
3.1
mg/
kg/
day
established
in
the
chronic
toxicity
study
in
dogs
for
establishing
the
chronic
RfD.
Since
a
LOAEL
was
used,
an
additional
uncertainty
factor
of
3X
was
applied
(i.
e,
lack
of
a
NOAEL)
to
the
LOAEL.
Although
a
NOAEL
was
not
established
in
this
study,
the
HIARC
determined
that
a
3X
was
adequate
(as
opposed
to
a
higher
value)
because:
1)
cholinesterase
inhibition
in
females
was
not
accompanied
by
clinical
signs;
2)
no
inhibition
was
seen
for
any
cholinesterase
compartment
in
males
at
this
dose;
3)
the
magnitude
of
inhibition
of
plasma
cholinesterase
inhibition
(12­
23%
decrease)
was
comparable
to
the
magnitude
of
inhibition
(22%)
seen
in
the
5­
week
study
in
dogs
indicating
no
cumulative
effects
following
long­
term
exposure;
4)
the
study
was
well­
conducted
and
there
are
sufficient
data
from
subchronic
and
chronic
duration
studies
in
the
other
species
which
support
cholinesterase
inhibition
as
the
critical
effect.

In
addition,
based
on
the
cholinesterase
inhibition
data,
the
dog
appears
to
be
more
sensitive
than
the
rat
in
long­
term
studies.
Furthermore,
use
of
the
LOAEL
of
3
mg/
kg/
day
from
the
1­
year
dog
study
with
an
uncertainty
factor
of
300
results
in
a
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day.
This
extrapolated
NOAEL
is
identical
to
that
of
the
offspring
NOAEL
of
1.0
mg/
kg/
day
established
in
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study.

Thus,
the
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
used
for
establishing
the
chronic
RfD
is
below
the
NOAEL
of
5
mg/
kg/
day
for
offspring
toxicity,
and
the
chronic
RfD
would
be
protective
of
the
effects
of
concern
for
infants
and
children
following
chronic
dietary
exposures.

With
regard
to
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study,
the
HIARC
concluded
that
there
was
a
low
level
of
concern
based
on
the
following
residual
uncertainties:

°
The
first
uncertainty
was
the
lack
of
a
demonstrated
effect
level
since
morphometric
measurements
of
brains
in
the
offsprings
were
not
performed
at
the
mid­
dose
(1
mg/
kg/
day).
However,
this
concern
was
negated
since
even
at
the
high
dose
of
10
mg/
kg/
day,
the
morphometric
changes
were
minimal
and
therefore,
it
is
unlikely
that
adverse
effects
would
be
seen
at
1
mg/
kg/
day,
which
is
10%
of
the
LOAEL.
24
°
The
second
uncertainty
was
the
lack
of
comparative
data
in
adults
and
offspring
for
cholinesterase
inhibition.
This
concern
was
negated
since
no
FOB
alterations
were
seen
in
pups.
Other
studies
in
the
data
base
have
shown
that
when
FOB
alterations
were
seen
in
adult
animals,
they
are
usually
accompanied
with
cholinesterase
inhibition.
Also,
the
results
of
the
National
Institute
for
Environmental
Health
Sciences
study
(discussed
above)
showed
no
difference
in
cholinesterase
inhibition
in
pups
and
adults.
There
was
a
dose­
related
decrease
in
cholinesterase
activity
in
the
brain
and
blood
of
dams
at
gestation
day
19
and
fetuses
taken
at
this
time
also
showed
a
very
similar
level
of
fetal
brain
cholinesterase.

The
HIARC
concluded
that
the
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
selected
for
establishing
the
acute
RfD
would
address
the
low
level
of
concern
for
the
residual
concerns
and
would
be
protective
of
the
effects
of
concern
for
infants
and
children
following
a
single
oral
exposure.

3.3
Dose
Response
Assessment
The
HIARC
evaluated
the
toxicology
data
base
of
carbaryl,
reassessed
the
Reference
Dose
(RfD)
established
in
1994
and
selected
the
toxicological
endpoints
for
acute
dietary,
as
well
as
occupational
and
residential
exposure
risk
assessments
at
a
meeting
on
July
7,
1998.
Re­
evaluations
of
the
FQPA
Safety
Factor
recommendation
were
done
on
April
28
and
November
15,
1999,
after
the
submission
of
prenatal
developmental
toxicity
studies
in
the
rat
and
rabbit,
respectively.
A
re­
evaluation
of
the
endpoints
for
risk
assessment
was
conducted
on
March
1,
2001,
February
19,
2002
and
April
25,
2002.
Table
2
contains
a
summary
of
the
hazard
doses
and
endpoints
selected
for
use
in
the
various
human
health
risk
assessments.
Endpoints
were
selected
for
a
broad
spectrum
of
risk
assessments,
including
acute
and
chronic
dietary,
short­,
intermediate­
and
long­
term
dermal
and
inhalation
exposures
and
short­
and
intermediate­
term
incidental
exposure.
For
the
chronic
dietary
and
the
long­
term
dermal
and
inhalation
exposure
endpoints,
a
LOAEL
was
selected,
which
necessitated
an
additional
3x
uncertainty
factor.

A
common
toxicological
endpoint
exists
for
the
dermal,
inhalation
and
incidental
oral
routes.
Therefore,
the
Margins
of
Exposure
(MOEs)
can
be
combined
for
occupational
and
residential
risk
assessments.
For
acute,
short­
,
intermediate­
and
long­
term
aggregate
risk
assessments,
the
oral,
dermal
and
inhalation
routes
can
be
combined
because
of
the
common
toxicity
endpoint
(ChEI).

Endocrine
Disruption
EPA
is
required
under
the
Federal
Food
Drug
and
Cosmetic
Act,
as
amended
by
FQPA,
to
develop
a
screening
program
to
determine
whether
certain
substances
(including
all
pesticide
active
and
other
ingredients)
"may
have
an
effect
in
humans
that
is
similar
to
an
effect
produced
by
a
naturally
occurring
estrogen,
or
other
such
endocrine
effects
as
the
Administrator
may
designate."
Following
the
recommendations
of
its
Endocrine
Disruptor
Screening
and
Testing
Advisory
Committee
(EDSTAC),
EPA
determined
that
there
were
scientific
bases
for
including,
as
part
of
the
program,
the
androgen
and
thyroid
hormone
systems,
in
addition
to
the
estrogen
hormone
system.
EPA
also
adopted
EDSTAC's
recommendation
that
the
Program
include
evaluations
of
potential
effects
in
wildlife.
For
pesticide
chemicals,
EPA
will
use
FIFRA
and,
to
the
extent
that
effects
in
wildlife
may
help
determine
whether
a
substance
may
have
an
effect
in
humans,
FFDCA
authority
to
require
the
wildlife
evaluations.
As
the
science
develops
and
resources
allow,
screening
of
additional
hormone
systems
may
be
added
to
the
Endocrine
Disruptor
Screening
Program
(EDSP).

When
the
appropriate
screening
and/
or
testing
protocols
being
considered
under
the
Agency's
EDSP
have
been
developed,
carbaryl
may
be
subjected
to
additional
screening
and/
or
testing
to
better
characterize
effects
related
to
endocrine
disruption.

g.,
manufacturing
and
various
end­
use
formulations)
and
the
associated
use
patterns
for
carbaryl
are
described
below.
A
brief
overview
of
the
types
of
equipment
and
application
rates
is
also
provided.
The
information
in
this
section
summarizes
all
use
patterns
of
carbaryl
as
both
commercial
products
and
products
intended
for
sale
to
homeowners
can
both
contribute
to
exposures
in
the
general
population
through
the
diet,
drinking
water,
direct
use
(i.
e.,
for
homeowners
only
in
this
aspect
of
the
risk
assessment)
and
as
a
result
of
people
frequenting
areas
that
have
been
previously
treated
by
either
homeowners
(e.
g.,
lawns
or
gardens)
or
other
public
places
that
could
have
been
commercially
treated
(e.
g.,
golf
courses).
The
need
to
have
a
thorough
understanding
of
the
use
patterns
for
consumer
products
is
self
explanatory.
Understanding
the
use
of
commercial
products
is
key
for
the
development
of
the
dietary
and
drinking
water
assessments.
It
is
also
critical
for
evaluating
some
residential
postapplication
exposures
such
as
for
golfers.

Equipment
used
to
apply
carbaryl
in
residential
settings
includes
dust
shaker
cans,
garden
hoseend
sprayers,
trigger
sprayers,
low
pressure
handwands,
belly
grinders,
push­
type
spreaders,
aerosol
cans,
and
pet
collars.
In
an
occupational
setting,
carbaryl
can
be
applied
by
airblast,
aerial
application,
chemigation,
groundboom,
power
duster,
low
and
high
pressure
handwand,
backpack,
compressed
air
sprayer,
fogger,
hand­
held
duster,
hose­
end
sprayer,
duster
cans,
and
aerosol
can.
Depending
on
the
crop,
the
maximum
number
of
carbaryl
applications
per
season
can
range
from
1
to
8.
A
variety
of
application
rates
are
available
on
the
carbaryl
labels,
ranging
from
1
lb
ai/
acre
for
curcurbits
to
16
lb
ai/
acre
for
a
foliar
treatment
of
citrus
in
California.
Some
products
are
marketed
in
a
single
marketplace
while
others
are
sold
for
use
in
various
settings.
Based
on
sales
information
provided
by
Aventis
CropScience
at
the
SMART
meeting
with
EPA
on
September
24,
1998,
it
appears
that
approximately
34
percent
of
carbaryl
use
is
by
homeowners
in
residential
settings,
59
percent
is
used
in
agriculture,
and
the
remaining
7
percent
is
used
in
the
nursery,
landscape
and
golf
course
industries.

The
application
parameters
for
major
crop
groups
or
application
targets
were
defined
by
the
physical
nature
of
the
use
site,
the
physical
nature
of
the
formulation,
the
equipment
needed
for
application
and
the
application
rate.
Selected
crop
groupings
and
application
targets
along
with
corresponding
typical
(if
available)
and
maximum
application
rates
that
are
used
in
the

At
the
present
time,
information
from
the
industry­
sponsored
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
has
been
approved
for
use
in
dietary
risk
assessments
with
appropriate
characterization
of
uncertainties
associated
with
the
conduct
of
the
study.
The
primary
concern
was
rubbing
sampled
commodities
during
the
rinsing
process
except
for
broccoli
and
tomato
because
this
created
a
potential
for
residue
loss
from
the
mechanical
action
associated
with
rubbing.
A
separate
assessment
was
also
completed
using
other
sources
of
high
quality
residue
data
(e.
g.,
PDP)
for
comparative
purposes
to
more
completely
inform
the
risk
management
process.

Dietary
Risk
Assessment
The
Product
and
Residue
Chemistry
Chapters
(D283328;
May
30,
2002)
and
the
Dietary
Exposure
Analysis
(D281419;
April
28,
2002)
were
prepared
by
Felecia
Fort.
Potential
exposure
to
residues
of
carbaryl
in
the
diet
occurs
through
food
and
water.
Carbaryl
is
used
late
in
the
season
at
maximal
seasonal
rates
of
6­
12
lb
ai/
acre.
[Note:
There
is
also
a
section
3
registration
that
allows
use
on
citrus
up
to
16
lb
ai/
acre
only
in
the
state
of
California.]
Post
harvest
intervals
(PHIs)
range
from
1­
29
days
but
most
are
one
week
or
less.
The
qualitative
nature
of
carbaryl
residues
in
plants
and
animals
is
adequately
understood.
The
carbaryl
residue
to
be
regulated
in
plants
is
carbaryl
per
se.
The
residues
of
concern
in
meat
and
milk
are
the
free
and
conjugated
forms
of
carbaryl,
5,6­
dihydro­
5,6­
dihydroxy
carbaryl,
and
5­
methoxy­
6­
hydroxy
carbaryl.
Adequate
Pesticide
Data
Program
(PDP)
and
Food
and
Drug
Administration
(FDA)
monitoring
residue
data
are
available
for
the
vast
majority
(>
80%)
of
commodities.
Detectable
residues
were
found
in
31
of
42
crops.
In
field
trials,
residues
were
less
than
the
Limit
of
Quantitation
(LOQ)
in
5
crops
but
were
quantifiable
in
all
other
raw
agricultural
commodities
(RACs).

The
dietary
exposure
assessment
is
a
Tier
3/
4
assessment,
which
is
the
most
highly
refined
assessment
that
can
be
conducted
at
this
time.
HED
has
provided
anticipated
residues
(ARs)
for
carbaryl
based
on
USDA
PDP
and
FDA
monitoring
data,
along
with
field
trial
data,
for
many
commodities.
In
addition,
separate
acute
assessments
were
conducted
incorporating
the
results
of
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS)
4
.

Carbaryl
and
its
degradate
1­
naphthol
are
fairly
mobile
but
are
not
likely
to
persist
or
accumulate
in
the
environment.
Available
non­
targeted
monitoring
studies
were
of
limited
utility
in
developing
estimated
environmental
concentrations
(EECs)
of
carbaryl
in
water.
Therefore,
screening
models
were
utilized
in
assessing
carbaryl
residues
in
drinking
water
(see
Section
4.3
below
for
more
details).

Section
4.2.1:

Tolerances
for

are
expressed
as
carbaryl,
including
its

1­
naphthol
(naphthyl

and
5,6­

[40

A
tolerance
for
residues
in
pineapple
bran
is
expressed
in
terms
of

[40

§186.550].
The
HED
Metabolism
Committee
concluded
that
the
carbaryl
residue
to
be
regulated
in
plants
is
carbaryl
per
se
(DP
Barcode
D221979,
S.
Hummel,
2/
8/
96).
The
Committee
also
concluded
that
carbaryl,
5,6­
dihydro­
5,6­
dihydroxy
carbaryl,
5­
methoxy­
6­
hydroxy
carbaryl
and
all
residues
which
can
be
hydrolyzed
to
carbaryl,
5,6­
dihydro­
5,6­
dihydroxy
carbaryl
and
5­
methoxy­
6­
hydroxy
carbaryl
under
acidic
conditions
should
be
included
in
the
tolerance
expression
and
risk
assessment
for
all
endpoints
of
dietary
concern
for
livestock
commodities
only.
(C.
Olinger,
D255855,
6/
21/
99).
An
interim
tolerance
of
0.5
ppm
has
been
established
for
carbaryl
and
its
1­
naphthol
metabolite
in
eggs
[40
CFR
§180.319].
Tolerances
of
2
ppm
and
10
ppm
have
been
established
for
residues
of
carbaryl
in
pineapples
and
bananas,
respectively.
The
registrant
intends
to
support
the
tolerances
for
residues
of
carbaryl
in/
on
these
commodities
as
import
tolerances.

Currently,
the
Codex
MRLs
and
U.
S.
tolerances
are
not
compatible
because
the
U.
S.
tolerance
expression
includes
metabolites.
Once
the
U.
S.
tolerance
definition
is
amended,
it
will
be
compatible
with
the
definition
for
Codex
MRLs.
The
Metabolism
Committee
has
also
recommended
that
the
tolerance
expression
for
livestock
commodities
include
the
free
and
conjugated
forms
of
carbaryl;
5,6­
dihydro­
5,6­
dihydroxy
carbaryl;
and
5­
methoxy­
6­
hydroxy
carbaryl.
The
Codex
MRLs
and
U.
S.
tolerances
cannot
be
made
compatible
for
livestock
commodities
with
respect
to
the
tolerance
definition.

The
reregistration
requirements
for
plant
and
livestock
metabolism
are
fulfilled.
Acceptable
metabolism
studies
depicting
the
qualitative
nature
of
residues
in
lettuce,
radish,
soybeans,
ruminants
and
poultry
have
been
submitted
and
evaluated.
For
the
purpose
of
reregistration,
adequate
magnitude
of
the
residue
data
are
available
on
the
following
crops:
alfalfa,
almond,
asparagus,
beans
(dried
and
succulent),
blueberry,
broccoli,
cabbage,
celery,
cherry,
citrus
fruits,
clover,
corn
(sweet
and
field),
33
cucurbits
(cantaloupes,
cucumbers
and
squash),
cranberry,
flax,
grape,

and
leaf
lettuce,
mustard
greens,

prickly
pear
cactus,
raspberry,
rice,
sorghum,
soybean,
spinach,
stone

strawberry,
sunflower,
sweet
potato,
tobacco,
tomato,
walnut.
Geographical
representation
is
adequate
and
a
sufficient
number
of
trials
reflecting
representative
formulation
classes
were
conducted.
Carbaryl
residues
were
<LOQ
in/
on
sweet
potato,
sugar
beets,
corn
grain,
flax
seed,
and
peanuts.
Quantifiable
residues
were
detected
in
all
other
RACs.
For
a
given
crop,
residue
levels
were
quite
variable
overall,
probably
owing
to
climactic
variations,
but
were
generally
consistent
within
any
specific
field
trial
location.
There
are
data
gaps
which
are
listed
in
Section
8.0:
Data
Needs/
Label
Requirements.

Adequate
PDP
monitoring

were
available
for
the

Monitoring
data
were
translated
to
similar
crops
when
possible,
generally
according
to
the
HED
SOP
99.3
"Translation
of
Monitoring
Data".
Monitoring
data
from
the
years
1994
through
1998
(PDP)
and
the
years
1992
through
1998
(FDA)
were
considered.
Field

were
used
for

HED
conducts
dietary
risk
assessments
using
the
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
(DEEM™),
which
incorporates
consumption
data
generated
in
USDA's
Continuing
Surveys
of
Food
Intakes
by
Individuals
(CSFII),
1989­
1992.
In
this
assessment,
CFSII
data
from
1994
to
1998
were
also
considered
along
with
the
earlier
data
for
comparative
purposes.
Routinely,
the
1989
to
1992
data
are
used
for
risk
assessments;
however,
the
Aventis
Crop
Science
commented
that
the
1994
to
1998
data
should
also
be
considered.
The
Agency
completed
the
analysis
using
both
sets
of
consumption
data
in
response
to
this
comment.
In
these
surveys,
both
3­
day
mean
consumption
and
single­
day
consumption
information
were
recorded
for
22
demographic
and
socio­
economic
subpopulations
including
infants,
children,
and
nursing
women.
For
acute
dietary
risk
assessments,
the
entire
distribution
of
consumption
events
for
individuals
is
multiplied
by
a
randomly
selected
distribution
of
residues
(probabilistic
analysis,
referred
to
as
"Monte
Carlo"
)
to
obtain
a
distribution
of
exposures
in
mg/
kg/
day.
For
chronic
dietary
risk
assessments,
the
3­
day
average
for
each
subpopulation
is
combined
with
average
residues
in
commodities
to
determine
average
exposures
(mg/
kg/
day).

Anticipated
residue
estimates
were
prepared
using
USDA
Pesticide
Data
Program
(PDP)
data,
if
available.
Alternatively,
FDA
surveillance
monitoring
data
from
the
years
1992­
98
were
used
if
sufficient
samples
were
available.
Data
from
crop
field
trials
were
used
if
there
were
insufficient
PDP
or
FDA
monitoring
data.
In
addition,
separate
acute
assessments
were
conducted
incorporating
the
results
of
the
CMBS
as
described
above
(i.
e.,
rubbing
fruit
may
reduce
residues,
use
of
other
high
quality
data
leads
to
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision).

The
Biological
and
Economic
Analysis
Division
(BEAD)
provided
information
(F.
Hernandez,
34
7/
21/
98)
on
the
percent
crop
treated
(%
CT).
For
the
chronic
analysis,
the
weighted
average
%CT
was
incorporated;
for
the
acute
analysis,
the
estimated
maximum
%CT
was
used
when
appropriate.
In
acute
analyses
(except
blended
commodities)
the
adjustment
for
%CT
is
incorporated
in
the
residue
distribution
files
(RDFs)
via
addition
of
zero
residue
values
corresponding
to
the
%
of
crop
not
treated.
For
blended/
not
furthered
processed
commodities
where
monitoring
data
are
available,
the
entire
distribution
of
monitoring
data
with
no
further
adjustment
for
%CT
were
used.
For
blended/
processed
commodities
where
monitoring
data
are
available
and
for
all
blended
commodities
where
field
trial
data
were
used,
%CT
is
incorporated
into
a
point
estimate.
For
the
chronic
analyses,
the
%CT
is
listed
as
Adjustment
Factor
2
in
the
DEEM
analysis.
One
half
the
weighted
average
of
the
limits
of
detection
was
used
in
the
dietary
assessment
for
all
treated
non­
detectable
residues.
Detectable
residues
from
composite
monitoring
data
for
non­
blended
food
forms
were
used
to
generate
residue
values
in
single
units
using
the
methods
described
in
the
H.
Allender
paper
dated
5/
26/
99
"Statistical
methods
for
Use
of
Composite
Data
in
Acute
Dietary
Risk
Assessment."
The
"decomposited"
residues
were
then
included
in
residue
distribution
files
(RDF)
for
the
probabilistic
analysis.
BEAD­
supplied
percent
crop
treated
data
were
incorporated
into
the
anticipated
residue
or
residue
distribution
file
when
appropriate.
[Note:
Single
serving
peach
PDP
data
were
used
for
non­
blended
peach
food
forms
instead
of
data
that
had
been
previously
decomposited
(Allender
method).]

A
separate
dietary
assessment
was
conducted
utilizing
the
CMBS
results.
The
CMBS
Task
Force
conducted
a
year
long,
national
survey
of
carbamate
residues
on
selected
food
commodities
purchased
at
grocery
stores.
Residue
data
from
a
market
basket
survey
are
considered
close
approximations
to
residues
potentially
found
at
most
`dinner
plates'.
These
data
are
generally
considered
the
most
appropriate
survey
type
for
use
in
pesticide
risk
and
exposure
assessment.
The
CMBS
collected
up
to
400
single­
serve
samples
of
8
different
crops
(apple,
banana,
broccoli,
grape,
lettuce,
orange,
peach
and
tomato).
These
data
were
used
in
the
acute
dietary
analysis
directly
via
RDFs
incorporating
%CT
for
all
food
forms
which
are
considered
to
be
partially
or
not
blended.
For
blended
commodities,
the
entire
distribution
of
data
with
no
further
adjustment
for
%
CT
was
used.
If
CMBS
data
were
not
available,
then
PDP
or
FDA
monitoring
or
field
trial
data
were
used.
CMBS
data
were
translated
to
similar
commodities
when
feasible;
however,
if
PDP
monitoring
data
were
available
for
the
processed
commodity,
then
CMBS
data
were
not
translated
(i.
e.,
PDP
orange
juice
data
were
used
instead
of
CMBS
data
for
oranges).
The
dietary
risk
assessments
were
completed
with
and
without
the
results
of
the
CMBS
for
comparative
purposes,
again
as
described
above
(i.
e.,
rubbing
fruit
may
reduce
residues,
use
of
other
high
quality
data
leads
to
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision).

Most
of
the
carbaryl
processing
factors
were
obtained
from
processing
studies
submitted
by
the
registrant.
The
rice
processing
factors
were
from
a
review
by
Thurston
Morton
(D216242,
9/
17/
98).

4.2.2
Acute
Dietary
Risk
Assessment
The
following
equations
were
used
to
calculate
dietary
exposure
and
non­
cancer
risk
for
carbaryl.

Dietary
exposure
(mg/
kg/
day)
=
consumption
x
residue
35
Dietary
risk
(%
PAD)
=
dietary
exposure
(mg/
kg/
day)
x
100
population
adjusted
dose
(mg/
kg/
day)

The
population
adjusted
dose
(PAD)
is
the
adjusted
RfD
reflecting
the
retention
or
removal
of
the
FQPA
safety
factor.
For
carbaryl,
the
FQPA
safety
factor
has
been
reduced
to
1x.
The
resulting
acute
PAD
(aPAD)
and
chronic
PAD
(cPAD)
are
both
0.01
mg/
kg/
day.
The
doses
and
endpoints
selected
by
the
HIARC
for
these
risk
assessments
are
discussed
in
more
detail
in
Section
3.3:
Dose
Response
Assessment
above.

For
this
Tier
3/
4
Assessment,
estimated
acute
dietary
exposure
at
the
99.9
th
percentile
of
exposure
exceeds
HED's
level
of
concern
without
incorporating
the
CMBS
results
for
all
infants
and
children
(1­
6
years)
based
on
1989
to
1992
CFSII
data
(Table
6).
The
highest
exposed
subpopulation
incorporating
all
commodities
using
PDP
and
FDA
monitoring
data
without
CMBS
data
was
all
infants
at
133
percent
of
the
aPAD
while
children
(1­
6
years)
were
at
110
percent
of
the
aPAD.
The
same
general
trend
applied
when
the
1994
to
1998
CFSII
data
were
considered
but
risks
were
actually
higher
for
all
subpopulations
(infants
at
134
percent
of
the
aPAD
and
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
at
138
percent
of
the
aPAD).
The
Agency
routinely
uses
the
1989
to
1992
CFSII
data
for
risk
assessments.
However,
Aventis
Crop
Science
commented
that
1994
to
1998
CFSII
data
should
also
be
considered
so
the
Agency
used
both
for
comparative
purposes.
Prior
to
the
calculation
of
these
risk
estimates,
residues
in
poultry
were
the
key
contributors
to
the
risks
for
various
populations.
Since
then,
Aventis
Crop
Science
has
indicated
that
poultry
uses
will
be
deleted
(i.
e.,
poultry
uses
were
not
considered
in
this
assessment).
As
such,
it
appears
that
consumption
of
apples
and
peaches
are
the
critical
contributors
to
acute
dietary
risks.
A
sensitivity
analysis
was
conducted
using
1989
to
1992
CFSII
by
eliminating
these
crops
and
crops
where
no
detectable
residues
were
found
(Table
7).
This
analysis
showed
that
risk
estimates
were
not
significantly
affected
by
assuming
zero
in
place
of
½
LOD
on
samples
reported
as
not
detectable.
Eliminating
apples
reduced
exposures
of
children
(1­
6
years)
to
82
percent
of
the
aPAD
but
did
not
significantly
impact
the
risks
for
all
infants
which
were
still
at
118
percent
of
the
aPAD.
Eliminating
peaches
had
the
greatest
impact.
Risks
to
children
(1­
6
years)
still
exceeded
100
percent
of
the
aPAD
at
102
percent.
Risks
for
all
infants,
however,
were
reduced
to
72
percent
of
the
aPAD.

When
the
CMBS
data
were
included
in
the
assessment,
the
acute
risk
picture
for
carbaryl
significantly
changed
as
risks
for
all
population
subgroups
considered
were
less
than
100
percent
of
the
aPAD
(Table
8).
If
1989­
1992
CFSII
data
are
used,
all
infants
and
children
(1­
6
years)
again
had
the
highest
associated
risk
levels
at
73
percent
and
75
percent
of
the
aPAD,
respectively.
For
1994­
1998
CFSII
data,
all
infants
and
children
(1­
6
years)
also
have
the
highest
risks
at
81
and
93
percent
of
the
37
aPAD,
respectively.
At
the
present
time,
information
from
the
industry­
sponsored
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
has
been
approved
for
use
in
dietary
risk
assessments
with
appropriate
characterization
of
uncertainties
associated
with
the
conduct
of
the
study.
Hence,
the
use
of
these
data
in
this
assessment
should
be
considered
with
associated
caveats
(e.
g.,
rubbing
fruit).

Chronic
Dietary
Risk
Assessment
Chronic
dietary
risks
were
calculated
using
the
same
equations
as
described
above
for
the
acute
dietary
risk
estimates
with
different
inputs
appropriate
for
this
exposure
duration.
Chronic
dietary
risks
are
not
of
concern
as
risks
were
<1
percent
of
the
cPAD
for
all
population
subgroups
considered
(Table
9).
The
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS)
was
not
used
in
the
calculation
of
chronic
dietary
risks
because
risks
were
low
without
considering
it
and
it
is
not
appropriate
because
it
is
for
single
serving
data.

The

were
used
to
calculate
dietary
exposure
and
cancer
risk
using
the
Q1*
approach
for
carbaryl
(i.
e.,
linear,
low
dose
extrapolation).
Cancer
risks
were
only
calculated
for
the
general
population.

Dietary

­1
Risk
estimates
above

are
considered
to
be
of
concern.
Results
indicate
a
maximum
lifetime
risk
of
2.8x10
­8
for
the
general
US
population
if
the
1989
to
1992
CFSII
data
were
used.
If
1994
to
1998
CFSII
data
are
considered,
results
are
similar
for
the
general
U.
S.
population
where
cancer
risks
are
3.04x10
­8
(Table
9).
The
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS)
was
not
used
in
the
calculation
of
chronic
dietary
risks.

4.2.5
Characterization/
Uncertainties
of
the
Dietary
Risk
Estimates
°
No
detectable
residues
were
found
in/
on
several
commodities:
carrots,
chicory,
flax
seed,
horseradish,
parsnip,
salsify,
potato,
celery,
canned
spinach,
head
lettuce,
leaf
lettuce,
rhubarb,
sugarbeets,
Swiss
chard,
brussels
sprouts,
cabbage,
kohlrabi,
soybean,
corn,
banana,
peanuts,
meat,
meat
fat,
and
milk.
Sensitivity
analyses
conducted
by
eliminating
crops
where
no
detectable
residues
were
found
showed
that
risk
estimates
were
not
significantly
affected
by
assuming
zero
in
place
of
½
LOD
on
samples
reported
as
not
detectable.
39
°
The
consumption
database
routinely
used
for
dietary
exposure
analysis,
CSFII
1989­
1992,
has
a
limited
number
of
individuals
for
the
age
group
infants
less
than
one
year
old.
The
USDA
has
conducted
the
Supplemental
Children's
Survey
(approximately
5000
children).
For
comparative
purposes,
based
on
comments
from
the
registrant,
the
CSFII
1994­
1998
data
have
also
been
used
for
risk
calculations.
The
trends
in
the
results
essentially
did
not
change
significantly
regardless
of
which
data
were
used.
Risks,
in
all
cases,
were
slightly
higher
for
all
subpopulations
using
the
1994
to
1998
data.

°
The
latest
cooking
and
processing
factors
that
were
available
have
been
used
in
the
assessment
(e.
g.,
processing
grapes
to
raisins,
cooking
and
washing
factors
for
peas,
and
oil
production
for
peanuts).

°
The
results
of
the
Critical
Exposure
Contribution
analysis
showed
that
peaches
and
apples
comprised
a
large
percentage
of
the
residues
found
in
the
upper
percentile
tails
of
the
acute
exposure
distribution
for
both
infants
and
children
(i.
e.,
they
were
the
major
risk
contributors
for
children
and
infant
exposure
at
the
upper
percentiles).

°
Detectable
residues
from
composite
monitoring
data
for
non­
blended
food
forms
were
used
to
generate
residue
values
in
single
units
using
the
Allender
method.
Though
there
is
a
statistical
basis
for
using
these
data,
some
degree
of
uncertainty
can
be
associated
with
this
method.
[Note:
Peaches
are
a
risk
driver
in
this
assessment
and
this
analysis
is
based
on
single­
serving
2000
PDP
data
instead
of
data
that
have
been
decomposited.]

Estimated

(EECs)
of

in

(June

Section

provides
a
summary
of
the
fate

of
carbaryl.
Section
4.3.2:
Monitoring

provides
a
summary
of
the
monitoring
data
that
were
considered
in
this

Section
4.3.3:
Modeling
EECs
presents
the
EECs
used
for
comparison
to
the
DWLOCs
(Drinking
Water
Levels
of
Concern)
calculated
for
the
aggregate
risk
assessment
(presented
in
Section
5
below).

4.3.1
Environmental
Fate
Characteristics
Carbaryl
is
considered
to
be
moderately
mobile
and
not
likely
to
persist
or
accumulate
in
the
environment
and
its
degradate,
1­
naphthol,
appears
to
be
less
persistent
and
mobile
than
carbaryl
itself.
Under
acidic
conditions
with
limited
microbial
activity
they
may
persist.

Carbaryl
dissipates
in
the
environment
by
abiotic
and
microbially
mediated
degradation.
The
major
degradation
products
are
CO2
and
1­
naphthol,
which
is
further
degraded
to
CO2.
Carbaryl
is
stable
to
hydrolysis
in
acidic
conditions
but
hydrolyzes
in
neutral
(t1/
2
=
12
days)
and
alkaline
40
environments
(pH=
9,
t1/
2
=
3.2
days).
Carbaryl
is
degraded
by
photolysis
in
water
(t1/
2
=
21
days).
Under
aerobic
conditions,
the
compound
degrades
rapidly
by
microbial
metabolism,
with
half
lives
of
4
to
5
days
in
soil
and
aquatic
environments.
In
anaerobic
environments
metabolism
is
much
slower
with
½
lives
on
the
order
of
2
to
3
months.
Carbaryl
is
moderately
mobile
in
the
environment
(Kf
=
1.7
to
3.5).

The
major
metabolite
of
carbaryl
degradation
by
abiotic
and
microbially
mediated
processes
is
1­
naphthol.
This
degradate
represented
up
to
67
percent
of
the
applied
carbaryl
in
degradation
studies.
It
is
also
formed
in
the
environment
by
degradation
of
napthalene
and
other
polyaromatic
hydrocarbons.
Only
limited
information
is
available
for
the
environmental
transport
and
fate
of
1­
naphthol.
While
guideline
studies
were
not
specifically
submitted
for
1­
naphthol,
open
literature
data
suggest
it
is
less
persistent
and
less
mobile
than
carbaryl.

4.3.2
Monitoring
Data
Monitoring
data
for
groundwater
and
surface
water
are
limited,
and
targeted
data
are
not
available.
As
reported
in
the
U.
S.
E.
P.
A.
Pesticides
in
Groundwater
Database,
carbaryl
was
detected
in
0.4%
of
wells
sampled.
Carbaryl
was
detected
in
California
(2
out
of
1433
wells),
Missouri
(11
out
of
325
wells),
New
York
(69
out
of
21027
wells)
Rhode
Island
(13
out
of
830
wells)
and
Virginia
(
11
out
of
138
wells)
(Jacoby
et
al.,
1992).
The
maximum
concentration
detected
was
610
µg/
L
in
NY,
though
typically
the
measured
concentrations
were
significantly
lower.

The
EPA
STORET
database
contains
9389
records
indicating
that
analysis
was
done
for
carbaryl.
Of
these,
only
4
were
reported
concentrations
above
the
detection
limits.
These
analyses
were
all
from
one
well
in
Cleveland,
OK
in
1988.
The
4
reported
concentrations
were
between
0.8
and
1
ppb.

Carbaryl
was
detected
at
greater
than
the
detection
limit
(0.003
:
g/
L)
in
1.1%
of
groundwater
samples
in
the
USGS
NAWQA
program.
The
maximum
observed
concentration
was
0.021
:
g/
L.
Detections
were
mainly
from
three
settings:
wheat
(5.8
%
of
well
samples
from
wheat
land
use),
orchards
and
vineyards
(1.7
%
of
well
samples
from
orchard
and
vineyard
land
use),
and
urban
(1.8%
of
urban
groundwater
samples).

A
number
of
field
studies
have
reported
detectable
carbaryl
concentrations
in
surface
waters.
Because
of
limitation
in
the
analytical
methods
used,
there
is
some
question
as
to
the
accuracy
of
carbaryl
analysis.
Poor
analytical
methods
probably
have
resulted
in
lower
detection
rates
and
lower
concentrations
than
actually
present.

Carbaryl
was
detected
in
surface
water
in
46%
of
the
36
NAWQA
study
units
between
1991
and
1998.
Carbaryl
(along
with
carbofuran)
was
one
of
the
two
most
widely
detected
insecticides.
A
significant
portion
of
the
total
carbaryl
applied
was
apparently
transported
to
streams.
Out
of
5220
surface
water
samples
analyzed,
1082
or
about
21
percent
were
reported
as
having
detections
greater
than
the
minimum
detection
limit
(MDL).
The
maximum
reported
concentration
was
5.5
ug/
L.
For
samples
with
positive
detections
the
mean
concentration
was
0.11
:
g/
L
with
a
standard
deviation
of
0.43
:
g/
L.
In
areas
with
high
agricultural
use,
the
load
measured
in
surface
waters
was
relatively
41
consistent
42
across
the
country
at
about
0.1
percent
of
the
amount
used
in
the
basins.
Streams
draining
urban
areas
showed
more
frequent
detections
and
higher
concentrations
than
streams
draining
agricultural
or
mixed
land
use
areas.

Aventis
CropScience
submitted
interim
results
of
an
on­
going
surface
water
monitoring
study
of
carbaryl
residues
in
surface
water
in
areas
with
high
agricultural
and
residential
use.
In
this
limited
drinking
water
study,
raw
water
was
collected
at
16
sites
in
agricultural
areas
and
four
in
areas
draining
suburban
areas.
Samples
at
municipal
water
treatment
facilities
were
collected
for
8­
12
months.
When
raw
water
showed
positive
detections
for
carbaryl,
finished
water
samples
collected
at
the
same
time
were
analyzed.

In
raw
water
samples
from
suburban
sites,
detectable
residues
in
raw
water
ranged
from
0.002
to
0.023
:
g/
L.
In
samples
from
agricultural
sites,
9
out
of
15
water
sources
had
some
detectable
level
of
carbaryl.
The
detections
were
generally
at
low
levels
with
one
of
about
0.16
:
g/
L
and
one
of
0.031
:
g/
L.
The
rest
were
below
the
level
of
quantitation
(<
0.03
:
g/
L).
Samples
from
finished
water
were
generally
lower
than
raw
water
though
it
appears
that
raw
and
finished
water
sampling
did
not
evaluate
the
same
mass
of
water.
The
data
do
not
give
a
good
indication
of
the
effectiveness
of
treatment
because
samples
exiting
and
entering
the
treatment
plant
were
different.
In
several
cases,
finished
water
had
higher
concentrations
than
raw
water
and
finished
water
had
detectable
carbaryl
when
the
raw
did
not.
The
highest
concentration
measured
was
in
finished
water
(0.16
:
g/
L).
Raw
water
sampled
at
the
same
time
had
a
much
lower
concentration
(0.010
:
g/
L).
This
illustrates
that
carbaryl
contamination
is
transient,
and
that
it
is
unlikely
that
any
sampling
would
catch
the
actual
peak
concentration.
That,
and
the
limited
number
of
sites
sampled,
limit
the
usefulness
of
this
study.
Non­
targeted
monitoring,
such
as
the
NAWQA
program
has
shown
that
much
higher
concentrations
occur.
This
study,
while
useful,
does
not
provide
sufficient
information
to
allow
estimation
of
actual
peak
and
mean
concentrations
that
actually
occur
in
all
areas
or
of
the
effect
of
treatment.

4.3.3
Modeling
EECs
Because
of
the
relatively
limited
persistence
of
the
compound
in
the
environment,
it
is
highly
unlikely
that
the
non­
targeted
monitoring
studies
which
have
been
completed
detected
the
maximum
concentrations
that
occur.
As
a
result,
the
non­
targeted
monitoring
data
have
been
determined
to
be
of
limited
utility
in
developing
estimated
environmental
concentrations
(EECs)
for
ecological
and
human
health
risk
assessment.
Therefore,
computer
modeling
was
used
to
estimate
surface
water
and
groundwater
concentrations
that
could
be
expected
from
normal
agricultural
use
(Table
10).
The
results
of
the
modeling
are
supported
by
the
available
monitoring
data.
These
results
have
been
characterized
as
conservative,
though
not
unreasonable
estimates
of
possible
concentrations
in
drinking
water.

Surface
Water
Modeling:
Computer
modeling
with
the
EPA
PRZM3.12
and
EXAMS
2.97.7
programs
were
used
to
estimate
the
concentration
of
carbaryl
in
surface
water.
Index
reservoir
scenarios
corrected
for
Percent
Cropped
Area
(PCA)
for
representative
crops
were
used.
Three
different
application
rates
were
used
in
modeling:
the
maximum
allowed
on
the
label
for
the
specific
crop,
an
"average"
rate
and
the
maximum
rate
reported
to
actually
be
used.
EECs
varied
greatly
depending
on
the
geographic
location,
crop
and
application
rate.
The
maximum
calculated
acute
and
chronic
EECs
43
(494
ppb
and
28
ppb,
respectively)
resulted
from
use
on
citrus
in
Florida.
Modeling
"average"
and
maximum
resulting
use
rates
gave
EEC
values
generally
40­
60%
lower
than
maximum.
The
source
of
drinking
water
in
relation
to
the
EECs
must
be
carefully
considered
when
using
these
data.
In
this
case,
the
results
for
Florida
provided
the
highest
estimates,
however;
in
Florida
the
majority
of
drinking
water
is
derived
from
groundwater
(>
90%)
so
high
surface
water
concentrations
do
not
necessarily
indicate
high
exposure.
As
a
result,
both
Florida
and
the
results
for
Oregon
apples
have
been
considered
in
the
aggregate
assessment
(see
Section
5.0
for
more
information).
The
EECs
for
Oregon
apples
are
the
next
highest
values
for
both
the
acute
and
chronic
estimates.

Ground
Water
Modeling:
SCI­
GROW
was
used
to
calculate
a
groundwater
screening
exposure
value
to
be
used
in
determining
the
potential
risk
to
human
health.
Carbaryl
chemical
properties
are
outside
the
range
of
values
for
which
SCI­
GROW
was
developed
(i.
e.,
aerobic
metabolism
is
faster
and
its
partition
coefficient
is
larger
which
equates
to
less
leaching
than
the
reference
compounds
­
both
factors
indicate
carbaryl
degrades
faster).
SCI­
GROW
estimates
for
groundwater
EECs
may
not
predict
with
complete
accuracy,
maximum
levels
because
the
concentrations
calculated
are
90
day
averages.
It
is
possible;
therefore,
that
groundwater
concentration
peaks
could
not
be
identified.
Groundwater
levels
are
anticipated,
however,
to
be
more
stable
over
time
than
surface
water
concentrations.

Residential
Risk
Assessment
The
residential
risk
assessment
addresses
exposures
that
individuals
receive
through
their
use
of
consumer
products
that
contain
carbaryl
and
those
exposures
one
could
receive
from
frequenting
areas
that
have
been
previously
treated
with
carbaryl
such
as
a
home
lawn,
a
garden,
or
a
golf
course.
Carbaryl
can
also
be
applied
in
wide
area
treatments
such
as
on
oyster
beds
or
as
a
mosquito
adulticide.
These
exposures
have
also
been
addressed
in
this
assessment.
The
Occupational
and
Residential

(D281418)
was
prepared
by
Jeff
Dawson
with
the
exception
of
the
tobacco
assessment
completed
by
Dr.
Virginia
Dobozy.
The

Aventis
Crop
Science
at
the
time
of
the
September
24,
1998
SMART
Meeting
also
presented
the
following
information
that
is
key
to
interpreting
the
residential
risk
assessment.
Carbaryl
accounted
for
approximately
9
percent
of
the
total
residential
insecticide
market
and
was
ranked
fourth
on
the
list
behind
the
pyrethroids,
chlorpyrifos,
and
diazinon.
In
addition,
the
registrant
also
presented
the
following:

°
According
to
the
registrant,
insect
control
on
vegetables
(~
58%
of
users),
annuals
(~
50%
of
users),
lawns
(~
35%
of
users),
trees/
shrubs
(~
34%
of
users)
account
for
the
majority
of
homeowner
uses
for
carbaryl.
Pet
uses
also
accounted
for
~13
percent
of
users.

°
The
annual
frequency
of
use,
for
all
crops/
targets,
was
reported
to
be
at
the
60
th
percentile
for
1
to
2
times
per
year
and
at
the
84
th
percentile
for
5
times
per
year.

°
Aphids,
ants,
fire
ants,
fleas,
and
slugs/
snails
are
predominant
pests
controlled
by
residential
carbaryl
users
(~
30
down
to
15%
of
users,
respectively).

°
Most
(75%)
of
vegetable
gardens
treated
with
carbaryl
are
<800
ft
2
but
~8
percent
are
between
800
and
1500
ft
2
,
~9
percent
are
between
1500
and
5000
ft
2
,
and
~6
percent
are
greater
than
5000
ft
2
.
Tomatoes,
peppers,
cucumbers,
beans,
and
fruit
trees
represent
the
most
treated
garden
plants.

°
Most
(82%)
of
flower
gardens
treated
with
carbaryl
are
<500
ft
2
but
~10
percent
are
between
500
and
1200
ft
2
,
and
~8
percent
are
greater
than
1200
ft
2
.
Roses,
shrubs,
and
certain
annuals
represent
the
most
treated
flowering/
ornamental
plants.

°
Dusts
(65%)
and
liquid
concentrates
(25%)
account
for
most
carbaryl
sales
in
the
residential
annual
market
of
2
million

Data
and
Assumptions
A
series
of
assumptions
and
exposure
factors
served
as
the
basis
for
completing
the
residential
handler
risk
assessments,
as
described
below.

°
The
unit
exposure
values
used
in
this
assessment
were
based
on
three
carbaryl­
specific
residential
handler
studies
which
quantified
exposures
during
pet
treatments
with
a
dust;
applications
to
gardens
using
a
ready­
to­
use
trigger
sprayer,
a
dust,
a
hose­
end
sprayer,
and
a
low­
pressure
handwand;
and
during
applications
to
trees
using
a
low­
pressure
handwand
and
a
hose­
end
sprayer.
Two
other
studies
completed
by
the
Outdoor
Residential
Exposure
Task
Force
(ORETF)
and
the
Pesticide
Handlers
Exposure
Database
(Version
1.1
August
1998)
(PHED)
5
were
also
used
as
sources
of
surrogate
information.
[Note
to
Risk
Managers:
There
is
no
data
compensation
issue
associated
with
the
use
of
the
ORETF
data
in
the
carbaryl
risk
assessment
because
Aventis
CropScience,
the
registrant
for
carbaryl,
is
a
member
of
the
ORETF].
Summaries
of
the
five
studies
are
included
in
the
Occupational
and
Residential
Risk
Assessment
(D281418).
These
studies
are
all
considered
to
be
of
high
quality.
The
quality
of
the
data
in
PHED
varies
from
scenarios
that
meet
study
guideline
requirements
to
others
where
a
limited
number
of
poor
quality
data
points
are
available.
However,
in
all
cases,
the
data
used
represent
the
best
available
for
the
scenario.
The
PHED
unit
exposure
values
range
between
geometric
mean
and
median
of
available
exposure
data.
When
data
from
other
studies
were
used,
the
47
appropriate
statistical
measure
of
central
tendency
was
used.
Central
tendency
values,
coupled
with
other
inputs
used
by
HED,
are
thought
to
result
in
conservative,
deterministic
estimates
of
risk.
For
pet
collars
only,
a
scenario
from
the
SOPs
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
not
based
on
monitoring
data
was
used
to
calculate
exposures.
The
factors
derived
from
the
SOPs
are
generally
thought
to
be
conservative.

°
Average
body
weight
of
adult
handlers
is
assumed
to
be
70
kg
because
the
toxicology
endpoint
values
used
for
the
risk
assessments
are
appropriate
for
average
adult
body
weight
representing
the
general
population.
No
specific
effects
were
observed
consistently
in
the
toxicology
studies
to
indicate
an
increased
sensitivity
of
one
gender
over
another.

°
Homeowner
handler
assessments
were
completed
based
on
individuals
wearing
shorts
and
shortsleeved
shirts.

°
Homeowner
handlers
are
expected
to
complete
all
tasks
associated
with
the
use
of
a
pesticide
product
including
mixing/
loading,
if
needed,
as
well
as
the
application;

°
Label
maximum
use
rates
and
use
information
specific
to
residential
products
served
as
the
basis
for
the
risk
calculations.
If
additional
information,
such
as
average
or
typical
rates,
were
available,
these
values
were
used
as
well
in
order
to
allow
risk
managers
to
make
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision.
Average
application
rates
were
available
from
the
SMART
meeting
and
BEAD's
Quantitative
Usage
Analysis
(QUA).
These
data
indicate
that
in
most
cases,
average
application
rates
differ
from
maximum
application
rates
by
a
factor
of
approximately
two.
The
average
application
rates
identified
from
the
studies
conducted
by
Aventis
CropScience
were
also
considered.

°
The
exposure
duration
(i.
e.,
years
per
lifetime)
values
in
the
cancer
risk
assessment
are
consistent
with
those
used
for
other
chemicals
(i.
e.,
50
years
with
home­
use
chemicals
and
70
year
lifetime).
Cancer
risks
were
calculated
assuming
one
exposure
per
year.
In
addition
the
number
of
days
of
exposure
per
year
which
could
occur
under
the
ceiling
established
by
an
acceptable
risk
level
of
1x10
­6
were
also
calculated.
These
estimates
can
then
be
compared
to
the
annual
use
frequency
of
1­
2x
(60
th
percentile)
and
5x
(84
th
percentile)
presented
at
the
SMART
meeting.
[Note:
It
is

such
as
the
size
of

that
can
be
applied
with

4.4.2.1
Residential
Handler
Noncancer
Risks
Noncancer
risks
were
calculated
using
the
Margin
of
Exposure
(MOE)
approach,
which
is
a
ratio
of
the
body
burden
(exposure)
to
the
toxicological
endpoint
of
concern.
Short­
term
dermal
MOEs
were
calculated
using
a
NOAEL
of
20.0
mg/
kg/
day
from
the
21­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
in
rats
with
technical
material
and
short­
term
inhalation
MOEs
were
calculated
using
a
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
from
the
oral
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats.
Body
burden
values
were
determined
by
first
calculating
daily
exposures
using
application
parameters
(i.
e.,
rate
and
area
treated)
along
with
unit
exposure
levels.
Exposures
were
then
normalized
by
body
weight
and
adjusted
for
absorption
factors
(100
percent
for
both
dermal
and
inhalation)
as
appropriate
to
calculate
average
daily
dose
levels
(i.
e.,
body
burdens)
as
illustrated
in
equation
below.

Where:

Daily
Exposure
=
Amount
deposited
on
the
surface
of
the
skin
that
is
available
for
dermal
absorption
or
amount
that
is
inhaled,
also
referred
to
as
potential
dose
(mg

day);
Unit
Exposure
=
Normalized

value
derived
from
August
1998
PHED
Surrogate
Exposure
Table
and
various
referenced
exposure
studies
noted
above
(mg

Application
Rate
=
Normalized
application
rate
based
on
a
logical
unit
treatment
such
as
acres
or
gallons,
maximum
and
typical
values
are
generally
used
(lb

and
Daily
Acres
Treated
=
Normalized
application

based
on
a
logical
unit
treatment
such
as
acres
(A/
day)
or
gallons
per
day
can
be
substituted
(gal/
day).

The
dermal
absorption
factor
of
100
percent
based
on
an
absorption
study
in
rats
was
used
for
all
dermal
calculations
since
no
route­
to­
route
conversion
was
required.
No
specific
inhalation
absorption
factor
is
available
for
carbaryl.
Therefore,
a
factor
of
100
percent
was
used
for
route­
to­
route
calculations
as
is
done
with
all
pesticides.
MOEs
were
calculated
using
the
following
formula.

MOE
=
NOAEL
(mg
ai/
kg/
day)
Average
Daily
Dose
(mg
ai/
kg/
day)

Where:

MOE
=
Margin
of
exposure,
value
used
to
represent
risk
or
how
close
a
chemical
exposure
is
to
being
a
concern
(unitless);
Average
Daily
Dose
=
The
amount
as
absorbed
dose
received
from
exposure
to
a
pesticide
in
a
given
scenario
(mg
pesticide
active
ingredient/
kg
body
weight/
day);
and
NOAEL
=
No
observed
adverse
effect
level
or
dose
level
in
a
toxicity
study
where
no
observed
adverse
effects
occurred
in
the
study
(mg
pesticide
active
ingredient/
kg
body
weight/
day).

A
combined
(dermal
and
inhalation)
MOE
was
determined
because
common
toxicity
(cholinesterase
inhibition)
endpoints
were
used
to
calculate
dermal
and
inhalation
risks
for
each
exposure
duration.
The
following
formula
was
used
to
calculate
total
MOE
values
by
combining
the
route­
specific
MOEs:

MOE
total
=
1/((
1/
MOE
a)
+
(1/
MOE
b)
+....
(1/
MOE
n))

Where:
MOE
a,
MOE
b,
and
MOE
n
represent
MOEs
for
each
exposure
route
of
concern
Short­
term
risks
for
residential
handlers
(intermediate­
term
scenarios
are
not
thought
to
exist
because
of
the
sporadic
nature
of
applications
by
homeowners)
are
presented
in
Table
11.
For
most
scenarios
(40
out
of
52),
risks
are
not
of
concern
because
MOEs
exceed
the
required
uncertainty
factor
of
100.
As
expected,
the
scenarios
for
which
MOEs
do
not
meet
or
exceed
100
have
a
relatively
high
unit
exposure
associated
with
them
or
the
amount
of
chemical
used
over
a
day
is
relatively
high
(based
on
high
application
rates
and/
or
high
amounts
of
area
treated).
The
use
of
dusts
in
gardens
and
for
pet
50
grooming
along
with
some
liquid
sprays
on
ornamentals
appear
to
be
the
most
problematic
scenarios.
Unlike
the
occupational
handler
scenarios,
the
use
of
different
levels
of
personal
protective
clothing
and
equipment
is
not
considered
for
residential
handlers
because
of
a
lack
of
availability,
training,
and
maintenance.
[Note:
Scenarios
where
MOEs
are
of
concern
(i.
e.,
<100)
for
are
highlighted
in
the
table.]

(LADD)
to
the
Q1*
(8.75

was
calculated
using
the
equation
below.

LADD

Table
12
presents
the
quantitative
risks
associated
with
each
scenario
considered
in
the
assessment.
For
all
but
one
scenario
(i.
e.,
treating
dogs
with
½
bottle
of
10
percent
dust
­
risk
is
1.09x10
­6
),
cancer
risks
are
less
than
1x10
­6
(most
are
in
the
10
­8
or
10
­10
range)
when
a
single
application
per
year
is
evaluated.
The
risk
associated
with
dusting
a
dog
should
also
be
taken
in
context
of
the
uncertainties
associated
with
cancer
risk
assessment.
In
effect,
this
value
is
1x10
­6
.
This
table
also
includes
the
allowable
number
of
days
exposure
per
year.
There
are
5
scenarios
where
5
days
or
less
of
exposure
per
year
is
allowable.
These
results
should
be
considered
in
conjunction
with
the
use
and
usage
information
supplied
by
the
Aventis
Crop
Science
that
indicates
the
50
th
percentile
annual
frequency
of
use
is
between
1
and
2
uses
per
year
and
that
5
uses
per
year
is
at
the
84
th
percentile.
As
with
the
noncancer
risks,
the
use
of
dusts
in
gardens
and
for
pet
grooming
along
with
some
liquid
sprays
on
ornamentals
appear
to
be
the
most
problematic
scenarios.
[Note:
The
scenario
where
risks
are
still
of
concern
(i.
e.,
>1x10
­6
)
is
highlighted
in
the
table.]
Cancer
risks
appear
to
be
less
of
concern
compared
to
noncancer
risks
for
all
corresponding
scenarios.

Residential
Postapplication
Risk
Assessment
Carbaryl
uses
are
extremely
varied
and
include
home
gardens,
ornamentals,
turf
(golf
courses
and
lawns)
and
companion
animals
(e.
g.,
on
dogs
and
cats).
Carbaryl
also
has
more
limited
uses
that
were
considered
including
as
a
mosquito
adulticide
in
residential
areas
and
for
Ghost/
Mud
shrimp
control
in
Washington.
As
a
result,
a
wide
array
of
individuals
of
varying
ages
can
potentially
be
exposed
when
they
do
activities
in
areas
that
have
been
previously
treated
or
have
contact
with
treated
companion
animals.
The
residential
postapplication
risk
assessment
addresses
these
types
of
exposures.

The
risks
from
exposure
to
carbaryl
residues
postapplication
were
determined
for
the
following
populations:

1)
Residential
(homeowner)
Adults:
The
following
postapplication
scenarios
were
assessed:
residential
turf
(lawncare),
residential
turf
(after
mosquito
control),
swimming/
beach
activity
(oyster
bed
treatments),
golfing,
home
garden
exposure
to
deciduous
trees
and
home
garden
exposure
to
fruiting
vegetables.
Within
each
scenario,
ranges
of
exposure
were
evaluated
for
different
application
rates,
duration
of
exposure,
and
postapplication
activities
(e.
g.,
weeding,
harvesting).

2)
Toddlers
(3
year­
olds):
Toddlers
were
selected
as
a
representative
population
for
turf
and
companion
animal
assessments.
Exposures
from
turf
were
evaluated
separately
for
lawncare
uses
and
after
mosquito
control.
Beach
activity
(oyster
bed
treatments)
was
also
evaluated.
Separate
risk
assessments
were
considered
individually
and
as
a
total
exposure
for
turf
­
dermal
exposure
and
hand­
to­
mouth,
object­
to­
mouth
and
soil
ingestion.
For
pet
uses
and
the
beach
play
assessments,
dermal
and
hand­
to­
mouth
exposures
were
considered
individually
and
as
a
total
exposure.
A
separate
assessment
was
done
for
toddlers
who
could
potentially
ingest
carbaryl
granules.
[Note:
Values
for
this
population
were
used
in
the
aggregate
risk
calculations
for
children
(1
to
6
years
old).]

3)
Youth­
aged
children
(ages
10
to
12):
children
of
this
age
could
help
with
garden
maintenance
(deciduous
trees
and
fruiting
vegetables)
and
therefore
were
considered
for
activities
related
to
fruiting
vegetables
and
fruit
trees.

Data
and
Assumptions
A
series
of
assumptions
and
exposure
factors
served
as
the
basis
for
completing
the
residential
handler
risk
assessments,
as
described
below.
The
assumptions
and
factors
used
in
the
risk
calculations
are
consistent
with
current
Agency
policy
for
completing
residential
exposure
assessments
(i.
e.,
SOPs
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
and
related
documents).

°
Several
carbaryl­
specific
studies
were
used
in
the
development
of
this
assessment
including
a
turf
transferable
residue
(TTR)
study
conducted
in
California,
Georgia,
and
Pennsylvania
at
8.17
lb
ai/
acre
(MRID
451143­
01).
This
study
was
conducted
using
the
standard
ORETF
protocol.
The
Georgia
data
were
used
for
the
assessment
(all
were
similar).
Residue
transferability
observed
in
this
data
was
1.20
percent.
The
Agricultural
Reentry
Task
Force
(ARTF)
conducted
several
dislodgeable
foliar
residue
(DFR)
studies
with
carbaryl.
The
olive
pruning
(MRID
56
451751­
02)
and
cabbage
weeding
(MRID
451917­
01)
studies
were
used
in
the
home
garden
risk
assessments.
Aventis
Crop
Science
is
a
member
of
the
ARTF
so
there
are
no
data
compensation
issues
associated
with
the
use
of
these
data.
All
of
these
carbaryl­
specific
studies
should
be
considered
high
quality
for
risk
assessment
purposes.

°
Two
other
studies
completed
by
the
Washington
State
Department
of
Ecology
were
used
for
completing
the
risk
assessment
for
the
oyster
bed
use.
These
studies
provided
water
and
sediment
concentration
data
in
Willapa
Bay
where
these
applications
occur.

°
Exposure
frequency
values
used
in
cancer
risk
assessments
for
adults
are
the
same
as
those
used
for
residential
handlers
(1
time
per
year).
However,
the
Agency
does
believe
that
there
are
higher
frequency
golfers
(i.
e.,
average
golfers
over
all
ages
play
18
rounds
year)
based
on
a
1992
report
(Golf
Course
Operations,
Cost
of
Doing
Business/
Profitability
by
the
Center
For
Golf
Course
Management).
The
number
of
exposure
days
per
year
has
also
been
calculated
for
all
postapplication
exposure
scenarios.

°
Several
models
and
published
data
sources
were
also
used
to
develop
the
risk
assessment.
These
include
papers
related
to:
deposition
from
mosquito
control
by
Dukes
et
al
from
Florida
A&
M
University
and
transference
of
residues
from
treated
pets
by
Boone
et
al
from
Mississippi
State
University.
The
Agency's
Standard
Operating
Procedures
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
were
the
primary
guidance
used
for
this
assessment.
Several
other
models
and
guidance
documents
were
also
used
including
the
Agency's
SWIMODEL
(for
swimmers
in
Willapa
Bay
after
oyster
bed
treatments);
AgDrift
V2.0
(for
risks
from
mosquito
control),
and
the
Risk
Assessment
Guidance
For
Superfund
or
RAGS
(for
dermal
exposures
during
beach
play
and
oyster
harvest).
Specific
information
from
the
mosquito
control
label
and
historical
information
for
oyster
bed
applications
were
also
used
to
complete
the
assessments
(e.
g.,
droplet
spectra
requirements
to
predict
deposition
from
aerial
treatments
during
mosquito
control).

°
The
Agency
calculates
total
exposures
to
individual
chemicals
when
it
is
likely
that
behaviors
could
occur
simultaneously
that
would
lead
to
the
overall
dose
for
the
exposed
population
of
concern.
The
Agency
has
added
together
risk
values
(i.
e.,
MOEs)
for
different
kinds
of
exposures
within
the
turf
(dermal,
hand­
to­
mouth,
object­
to­
mouth,
and
soil
ingestion)
and
pet
scenarios
(dermal
and
hand­
to­
mouth).
These
represent
the
standard
set
of
exposures
that
are
typically
added
together
when
chemicals
are
used
on
turf
or
on
pets
because
it
is
logical
they
can
co­
occur.

°
Exposures
to
children
playing
on
treated
turf
as
well
as
adults
on
turf
(lawncare
and
golfing)
have
been
addressed
using
the
latest
Agency
approaches
for
this
scenario
including:
°
5
percent
of
the
application
rate
has
been
used
to
calculate
the
0­
day
residue
levels
used
for
defining
risks
from
hand­
to­
mouth
behaviors,
measured
TTR
values
are
not
used
because
of
differences
in
transferability
versus
what
would
be
expected
during
hand­
tomouth
behaviors;
57
°
20
percent
of
the
application
rate
has
been
used
to
calculate
the
0­
day
residue
levels
used
for
defining
risks
from
object­
to­
mouth
behaviors,
measured
TTR
values
are
not
used
because
of
differences
in
transferability
versus
what
would
be
expected
during
hand­
tomouth
behaviors,
a
higher
percent
transfer
has
been
used
for
object­
to­
mouth
behaviors
because
it
involves
a
teething
action
believed
to
be
more
analogous
to
DFR/
leaf
wash
sample
collection
where
20
percent
is
also
used;
°
the
measured
TTR
levels
quantified
in
MRID
451143­
01
have
been
used
to
complete
the
dermal
exposure
calculations
as
the
0­
day
transferability
was
>
1
percent
of
the
application
rate
for
the
short­
and
intermediate­
term
data
sources,
studies
where
transferability
is
less
than
1
percent
are
not
used
for
risk
assessment
purposes
because
the
transfer
coefficients
used
by
the
Agency
for
defining
exposures
are
based
on
Jazzercize
studies
in
which
TTR
values
were
measured
by
techniques
where
transferability
is
generally
in
the
1
to
5
percent
range
other
than
the
ORETF
roller
method
where
transferability
tends
to
be
lower;
°
short­
and
intermediate­
term
exposures
have
been
calculated
because
play
and
mouthing
behaviors
are
assumed
to
routinely
occur
daily
and
for
extended
periods
such
as
over
30
days,
carbaryl
residues
are
also
expected
to
be
present
based
on
residue
dissipation
data
(i.
e.,
slow
dissipation
rate);
°
in
cases
where
0
day
residues
have
been
calculated
based
on
application
rates
(i.
e.,
hand
object­
to­
mouth
residues
and
for
soil
dissipation),
dissipation
over
time
measured
in
the
TTR
study
(i.
e.,
slope
of
decay
curve)
has
been
used
to
predict
TTR
and
soil
levels
over
time,
carbaryl
residues
were
detectable
even
at
14
days
after
application
(i.
e.,
final
sampling
interval)
at
all
sites
in
the
TTR
studies
used
in
this
assessment,
at
14
days
average
residues
at
the
Georgia
and
Pennsylvania
study
sites
were
still
orders
of
magnitude
above
the
quantitation
limit,
this
indicates
that
predicted
residue
levels
for
extended
durations
should
be
considered
appropriate
based
on
the
empirical
data
(e.
g.,
critical
for
consideration
of
intermediate­
term
exposures);
°
the
transfer
coefficients
used,
except
golfing,
are
those
presented
at
the
1999
Agency
presentation
before
the
FIFRA
Science
Advisory
Panel
that
have
been
adopted
in
routine
practice
by
the
Agency;
°
transfer
coefficients
have
been
adjusted
for
differences

to
represent

while
granular

is
considered
to
be
a
much
more
episodic
behavior
and
is
considered
separately
by
the

and
°
children
of
various
ages
down
to
the
very
young
(e.
g.,
4
or
5
years
old)
are
currently
playing
golf,
the
Agency
recognizes
that
age
may
impact
exposures
because
of
changes
in
behavior
and
skin
surface
area
to
body
weight
ratios
but
has
not
yet
developed
a
quantitative
approach
for
calculating
their
risks.

°
Exposures
to
children
and
adults
working
in
home
gardens
have
been
addressed
using
the
latest
Agency
approaches
for
this
scenario
including:
°
youth­
aged
children
are
considered
along
with
adults;
°
12
year
old
youth
are
expected
to
weigh
39.1
kg;
°
exposure
durations
are
expected
to
be
40
minutes;
°
Pre­
Harvest
Intervals
(PHIs)
are
less
than
7
days
for
most
crops
with
some
as
long
as
28
days;
°
transfer
coefficients
for
youth
were
calculated
by
adjusting
the
appropriate
adult
transfer
coefficients
by
a
50%
factor
as
has
been
done
by
the
Agency
since
the
inception
of
the
SOPs
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment;
°
the
updated
transfer
coefficients
specified
in
Agency
policy
003
described
above
in
the
occupational
risk
assessment
have
been
used
rather
than
those
currently
specified
in
the
SOPs
because
they
represent
more
refined
estimates
of
exposure
for
the
fruiting
vegetable
and
deciduous
tree
crop
groups,
these
crop
groups
have
been
used
in
the
SOPs
to
represent
home
garden
exposures;
°
the
combination
of
adjusting
transfer
coefficients
for
youth­
aged
children
and
using
appropriate
body
weights
for
the
age
group
results
in
dose
levels
that
are
slightly
lower
than
that
of
adults
in
the
same
activity
(the
TC
reduction
and
body
weight
reduction
is
essentially
a
1:
1
ratio);
and
°
the
DFR
data
used
for
the
assessments
are
the
same
as
those
used
in
the
occupational
risk
assessment
for
the
selected
crop
groups.

°
Exposures
to
children
after
contact
with
treated
pets
have
been
addressed
using
the
latest
Agency
approaches
for
this
scenario
including:
°
only
toddlers
are
considered
because
their
exposures
are
thought
to
be
highest
(i.
e.,
they
are
considered
the
highest
exposed
population
by
the
Agency);
59
°
an
equilibrium
approach
based
on
a
single
child
"hug"
of
the
treated
animal
is
used
to
assess
dermal
exposure
as
described
in
the
1999
Agency
SAP
Overview
document
(i.
e.,
the
skin
loads
after
a
single
contact
with
the
treated
animal
and
additional
contacts
don't
proportionally
add
exposures),
the
surface
area
of
the
dermal
hug
is
based
on
a
toddler
skin
surface
area
and
typical
clothing;
°
residue
dissipation
is
5
percent
per
day
for
the
shampoo
and
dust
products
(based
on
data
from
J.
Chambers
at
Mississippi
State
University
on
other
pet
use
products);
°
the
transferability
of
residues
from
fur
is
20
percent;
°
the
active
lifetime
of
a
collar
is
expected
to
be
120
days
based
on
label
statements
which
was
used
by
the
Agency,
a
daily
emission
term
from
the
collar
of
0.000290
mg/

2
/gram
ai/
day
is
also
based
on
measured
data
from
Mississippi
State

for
a

collar;
°
risks
are
based
on
an
even
loading
of
residues
across
the
entire
surface
of
a
30
lb
dog
which
has
been
chosen
as
a
representative
animal,
the
animal
surface
area
was
calculated
using
(12.3*

°
the
daily
frequency
of

°
the
Agency
is
currently
in
the
process
of
considering
revisions
in
its
methodologies
for
completing
risk
assessments
for
pet
products,
some
of
the
key
inputs
that
are
potentially
subject
to
modification
include
the
amount
of
residues
which
are
transferable
from

fur,
defining
the
number
of
hand­

events,
and
evaluating
the
emission
term
for
collars.

°
There
are
many
likely
studies
focused
on
carbaryl
in
the
published
literature
or
available
from
various
governmental
Agencies
because
it
is
so
widely
used.
For
example,
the
Agency's
Office
of
Research
and
Development
along
with
other
Agencies
have
funded
a
project
entitled
Pesticide
Exposure
in
Children
Living
in
Agricultural
Areas
along
the
United
States­
Mexico
Border
Yuma
County,
Arizona.
Preliminary
results
of
this
study
indicate
that
carbaryl
residues
were
identified
in
the
dust
of
20
percent
of
the
152
houses
sampled
and
in
approximately
24
percent
in
25
samples
collected
in
6
schools
in
the
same
region.
At
this
point,
the
Agency
has
not
identified
any
data
from
the
literature
or
other
sources
that
would
alter
the
conclusions
of
this
risk
assessment.
As
more
data
become
available,
the
Agency
will
consider
the
information
in
efforts
to
refine
the
assessment
(i.
e.,
use
additional
information
to
alter
numeric
risk
estimates
or
to
characterize
existing
estimates
if
warranted).
With
regard
to
this
specific
example,
current
Agency
policy
is
not
to
use
house
dust
estimates
to
calculate
risks
because
of
a
lack
of
an
appropriate
exposure
model.
Also,
in
a
1995
study
conducted
by
the
Centers
For
Disease
Control
(Hill
et
al)
entitled
Pesticide
Residues
In
Urine
Of
Adults
Living
In
The
United
States:
Reference
Range
Concentrations,
1000
adults
were
monitored
via
urine
collection.
One
of
the
analytes
measured
in
that
study
(1­
naphthol)
is
a
potential
metabolite
of
carbaryl
as
well
as
of
naphthalene
and
napropamide.
This
metabolite
was
identified
in
86
percent
of
the
1000
adults
monitored
where
the
mean
value
was
17
ppb
and
the
99
th
percentile
was
290
ppb.
These
values
were
not
used
quantitatively
in
the
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl
because
of
the
uncertainties
associated
with
them
such
as
the
exact
contribution
of
each
possible
compound
to
the
overall
60
levels
and
no
linked
exposure
information.
The
investigators
also
reported
results
for
(2­
naphthol)
which
is
also
a
metabolite
of
naphthalene
and
indicated
a
common
source
of
exposure
because
1­
naphthol
and
2­
naphthol
levels
were
similar
based
on
a
Pearson
correlation
of
0.64
(P=
0.0001).
The
mean
for
2­
naphthol
is
7.2
ppb
and
the
99
th
percentile
was
54
ppb.
The
Agency
instead
considers
them
a
qualitative
indicator
that
exposures
in
the
general
population
are
likely
to
occur.

Aventis
Crop
Science
has
completed
and
is
in
the
process
of
submitting
to
the
Agency
a
biomonitoring
study
of
individuals
in
residences
following
the
application
by
a
member
of
the
household
to
the
lawn
and
either
the
vegetable
garden
or
ornamental
flowers.
A
biomonitoring
study
of
field
workers
during
harvesting
and
hand
thinning
operations
in
apples
and
cherries
will
also
be
submitted
to
the
Agency.
Based
on
personal
communication
with
Aventis
Crop
Science
scientists,
preliminary
results
from
the
residential
biomonitoring
study
indicate
that
the
highest
percentiles
of
the
distribution
of
the
younger
children
in
the
homes
were
similar
to
those
predicted
in
the
Agency's
turf
risk
assessment
for
toddlers
that
are
intended
to
represent
the
higher
percentiles
of
the
exposure
distribution.
A
more
detailed
analysis
will
be
completed
upon
submission.

conducting
a
survey
of
homeowners
to
ascertain
how
consumer
pesticide
products
are
used
(e.
g.,

etc.).
Also,
based
on
discussions
with
Aventis
Crop
Science,
an
analysis
of
these
data
is
expected
to
be
submitted
which
could
be
used
to
refine
the
exposure
estimates
in
this
assessment
because
the
amounts
of
carbaryl
used
per
homeowner
application
could
be
refined.
Preliminary
discussions
concerning
this
survey
also
indicate
Agency
estimates
are
in
the
range
of
those
observed
in
the
survey.

4.4.3.1
Residential
Postapplication
Exposure
and
Noncancer
Risks
Two
different
types
of
noncancer
risk
calculations
were
required
based
on
expected
exposure
durations,
i.
e.,
short­
term
(
30
days)
and
intermediate­
term
(30
days
up
to
several
months).
Intermediate­
term
risks
were
calculated
in
a
postapplication
situation,
when
they
were
not
for
residential
handlers,
because
residue
dissipation
data
demonstrated
that
carbaryl
residues
persist
over
that
time
and
it
is
clear
that
the
behaviors
considered
as
the
basis
for
this
assessment
can
occur
routinely
over
extended
periods
of
time
thus
creating
a
potential
window
for
exposures
(e.
g.,
children
playing
outside
on
the
grass
is
expected
to
be
a
routine
activity).
Noncancer
risks
were
calculated
using
the
MOE
approach,
as
described
under
Section
4.4.2.
The
toxicological
endpoint
of
concern
and
target
MOE
for
short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
dermal
exposures
is
the
same
as
that
used
for
the
short­
term
dermal
exposure
for
residential
handlers
(i.
e.,
NOAEL
of
20
mg/
kg
from
the
21­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
in
the
rat
and
a
target
MOE
of
100).
The
endpoints
of
concern
and
target
MOE
for
short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
nondietary
ingestion
exposure
were
defined
in
the
rat
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
and
subchronic
neurotoxicity
studies,
respectively
(i.
e.,
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
defined
in
both
studies
with
a
target
MOE
of
100).

Several
different
types
of
calculations
were
used
in
this
assessment
to
reflect
the
varying
age
61
groups,
behaviors,
data,
and
activities
that
were
considered.
In
essence,
all
can
be
summarized
by
saying
that
a
source
of
some
sort
(e.
g.,
DFR
on
leaves)
comes
in
contact
with
a
person
as
they
are
doing
an
activity
(e.
g.,
harvesting
garden
plants).
Exposures
were
then
calculated
by
multiplying
the
source
concentration
by
some
factor
(e.
g.,
transfer
coefficient
for
fruit
harvesting)
and
the
duration.
All
of
the
calculations
are
explained
in
detail
in
the
Occupational
and
Residential
Exposure
Chapter
(281418).
Two
of
the
key
algorithms
are
presented
below
for
informational
purposes.
These
represent
the
predominant
types
of
exposures
considered
in
the
postapplication
assessment
(i.
e.,
dermal
and
hand­
tomouth

Dermal
exposures
were
calculated
by
considering
the
potential
sources
of
exposure
in
the
environment,
which
represent
the
DFRs
on
garden
plants,
TTRs
on
lawns,
and
transferable
residues
on
treated
pets
using
the
following
equation.
It
should
also
be
noted
that
there
are
distinct
transfer
coefficients
for
different
activities
(e.
g.,
fruit
harvest
versus
lawncare).

[Note:
For

Likewise,
nondietary
ingestion
from
hand­
to­
mouth
behaviors
also
consider
the
environmental
concentrations
and
the
mouthing
behaviors
of
children.
The
following

describes
how
these

have
been
calculated.

Where:

Maximum
rates
of
4

are
specified
for
different
pests.
There
is
one
carbaryl
label
with
a
turf
application
rate
of
11
lb
ai/
acre;
however,
based
on
the
information
from
the
registrant
at
the
SMART
meeting
and
the
TTR
study
(MRID
45334301),
the
maximum
rate
is
more
likely
to
be
8
lbs
ai/
acre.
In
addition,
risks
exceed
HED's
level
of
concern
at
8
lbs
ai/

The
(TR(
t))
input
may
represent
levels
on
a
single
day
after
application
in
the
case
of
short­
term
risk
calculations.
For
intermediate­
term
calculations,
30­
day
average
concentrations
were
calculated
based
on
the
applicability
of
the
toxicology
data
(i.
e.,
intermediate­
term
endpoint
is
applied
to
exposures
>30
days).

Adult
Short­
term
MOEs
only
for
lawncare
(i.
e.,
heavy
yardwork)
exceed
the
Agency's
level
of
concern
on
the
day
of
application
(i.
e.,
43
to
88).
For
this
activity,
it
takes
1
and
5
days,
respectively
at
the
4
and
8
lb
ai/
acre
application
rates,
6
for
residues
to
dissipate
to
a
point
where
short­
term
MOEs
are
$
100.
In
all
other
scenarios
considered,
short­
term
MOEs
are
$
100
on
the
day
of
application.
These
other
scenarios
include
vegetable
gardening,
golfing,
tending
fruit
trees.
More
localized
exposures
that
occur
after
mosquito
control
or
from
exposures
associated
with
oyster
bed
treatments
are
also
included.
Intermediate­
term
MOEs
were
calculated
using
30
day
average
exposures
and
the
dissipation
rate
for
carbaryl.
In
all
cases,
intermediate­

MOEs
are
$
100.

exposures
were
considered
for
a
variety
of
scenarios
as
described
above
including
play
on
treated
turf,
play
with
treated
pets,
after
mosquito
control,
and
after
oyster
bed
treatments.
Ingestion
of
granules,
which
is
considered
a
highly
episodic
event
by
the
Agency
is
also
described
below.
The
results
from
all
scenarios
considered
are
presented
below
in
Table
15.

Short­
term
MOEs
from
exposure
to
treated
turf
(in
products
labeled
for
direct
application
to
turf)
were
<100
on
the
day
of
application
for
both
rates
considered
(i.
e.,
4
and
8
lb
ai/
acre).
In
fact,
shortterm
MOEs
from
individual
pathways
were
not
$
100
for
any
turf
scenario
considered
on
the
day
of
application
except
for
the
soil
ingestion
component
of
the
turf
assessment
which
is
a
very
minor
contributor
to
overall
exposures.
As
a
reminder,
dermal,
hand­
to­
mouth,
and
object­
to­
mouth
exposures
pathways
were
considered
along
with
soil
ingestion.
Total
short­
term
MOEs
(all
pathways)
were
$
100
at
the
lower
4
lb
ai/
acre
application
rate
14
days
after
application
and
18
days
at
the
higher
8
lb
ai/
acre
application
rate.
Dermal
and
hand­
to­
mouth
exposures
were
the
key
contributors
while
soil
ingestion
was
a
minor
contributor
to
the
total
MOE
estimates.
Intermediate­
term
MOEs
were
calculated
using
30
day
average
exposures
and
the
dissipation
rate
for
carbaryl.
For
both
rates,
intermediate­
term
MOEs
were
<100.
Exposures
to
toddlers
were
also
considered
after
application
of
carbaryl
as
a
mosquito
adulticide.
The
risks
are
presented
along
with
the
turf
use
risks
because
the
methods
are
similar
except
that
mosquito
control
calculations
also
account
for
deposition
from
aerial
and
ground
foggers.
Regardless
of
how
applications
are
made
(i.
e.,
by
ground
or
air),
both
short­
term
MOEs
on
the
day
of
application
and
intermediate­
term
MOEs
were
$
100.

The
assessments
for
pet
uses
considered
dermal
and
nondietary
ingestion
exposures
and
also
calculated
total
MOEs.
Short­
term
MOEs
for
pet
uses
were
<100
even
30
days
after
application
regardless
of
whether
the
formulation
used
was
a
dust,
liquid
or
collar.
This
trend
was
observed
for
each
separate
exposure
pathway
as
well
as
the
total
MOE
estimates.
Hand­
to­
mouth
and
dermal
exposures
are
approximately
equal
contributors
to
the
overall
estimates
for
each
product
type.
The
results
are
similar
for
the
intermediate­
term
MOEs
for
each
scenario.
There
is
one
pet
use
which
is
also
considered
to
be
a
chronic
exposure
by
the
Agency.
Pet
collars
are
assumed
to
be
worn
all
of
the
time
so
chronic
exposure
can
potentially
occur.
The
chronic
MOE
for
pet
collars
mirrors
the
short­
and
intermediate­
term
results.

The
assessments
for
beach
play
for
toddlers
after
oyster
bed
treatment
considered
dermal
and
65
nondietary
ingestion
exposures
and
also
calculated
total
MOEs.
Short­
term
MOEs
were
>100
even
if
the
highest
monitored
sediment
concentration
value
from
any
study
available
to
the
Agency
was
used
as
the
basis
for
the
calculations.
The
intermediate­
term
results
were
similar.

Ingestion
of
carbaryl
granules
is
also
a
potential
source
of
exposure
because
children
can
eat
them
if
they
are
found
in
treated
lawns
or
gardens.
This
scenario
is
considered
to
be
an
episodic
in
nature.
Therefore,
acute
dietary
endpoints
are
always
used.
The
concentration
of
carbaryl
in
granular
products
ranges
generally
from
2
to
10
percent.
If
this
information
is
coupled
with
the
body
weight
of
a
toddler
(15
kg),
the
NOAEL
of
1
mg/
kg/
day
for
short­
term
assessments
(which
is
also
the
same
value
used
for
the
aPAD),
and
the
uncertainty
factor
of
100
the
amount
of
formulation
that
can
be
consumed
at
the
uncertainty
factor
MOE
level
can
be
calculated.
The
Agency
generally
presents
these
results
based
on
the
number
of
carbaryl
granules
that
can
be
ingested.
However,
the
number
of
homeowner
formulations
is
extensive
and
impossible
to
characterize
in
that
much
detail
so
a
general
weight
estimate
is
presented.
If
a
2
percent
formulation
is
ingested,
7.5
mg
represents
exposure
at
an
MOE
of
100
(i.
e.,
1.6
x
10
­5
lb).
If
a
10
percent
formulation
is
ingested,
1.5
mg
represents
exposure
at
an
MOE
of
100
(i.
e.,
3.3
x
10
­6
lb).
For
illustrative
purposes,
if
one
considers
a
2
percent
formulation
and
the
density
of
soil
(0.67
mL/
gram,
many
granulars
are
clay
based),
only
0.005
mL
of
formulation
would
need
to
be
ingested
to
have
a
risk
concern
(i.
e.,
7.5
mg
*
1g/
1000mg
*
0.67
mL/
gram).
Note
that
this
volume
is
66
orders
of
magnitude
less
than
a
teaspoon
of
granular
formulation
(i.
e.,
0.1%
of
a
teaspoon
where
a
tsp.
=
5
mL).

4.4.3.2
Residential
Postapplication
Exposure
and
Risks
For
Cancer
Postapplication
cancer
risks
were
calculated
for
adults
only
considering
the
same
scenarios.
Risks
were
calculated
using
a
frequency
of
one
exposure
per
year
for
50
years.
Cancer
risks
were
calculated
using
a
linear
low­
dose
extrapolation
approach
in
which
a
LADD
is
calculated
and
then
compared
with
a
Q1*
(8.75
x
10
­4
(mg/
kg/
day)
­1
),
as
described
in
Section
4.4.2.2.
The
number
of
days
of
exposure
per
year
under
a
ceiling
limit
of
cancer
risks
equal
to
1x10
­6
was
also
calculated.

For
all
scenarios
on
turf,
cancer
risks
are
in
the
10
­8
range
or
less
on
the
day
of
application
when
a
single
reentry
event
per
year
during
lawncare
activities
is
evaluated.
For
home
gardening,
golfing
or
from
mosquito
control,
risks
are
slightly
lower
in
the
10
­9
to
10
­12
range
when
a
single
reentry
event
per
year
is
evaluated
on
the
day
of
application.
Table
16
below
summarizes
the
postapplication
risk
values
calculated
for
adults
after
applications
of
carbaryl.
Risk
managers
should
consider
these
values
represent
a
single
reentry
day
into
a
treated
area
over
each
year
of
a
50
year
lifetime
on
the
day
of
application
and
that
the
Agency
lacks
data
to
link
the
annual
frequency
of
reentry
activity
to
residential
applications.
As
with
the
residential
handler
risks
above,
the
Agency
calculated
the
number
of
exposure
days
needed
to
reach
a
risk
level
of
1x10
­6
for
each
scenario
on
the
day
of
application,
values
range
from
20
to
over
365
days
per
year
while
most
exceed
365
days
per
year.

Residential
Risk
Characterization
Characterization
of
the
residential
risks
is
included
below
for
both
handlers
and
for
postapplication
exposures.

Residential
Handlers:
The
residential
handler
assessment
for
carbaryl
is
complex
in
that
calculations
were
completed
for
52
different
equipment
and
application
rate
scenarios.
Unlike
the
occupational
assessments,
only
short­
term
exposures
were
considered
for
handlers
because
homeowner
use
patterns
are
not
believed
by
the
Agency
to
lead
to
intermediate­
term
exposures
because
of
their
sporadic
nature.
Cancer
risks
were
also
calculated
using
a
linear,
low­
dose
extrapolation
model
(i.
e.,
Q1*)
for
typical
residential
users
(1
event/
year).
Cancer
risks
were
also
considered
by
calculating
the
number
of
days
exposure
that
would
be
required
per
year
to
achieve
a
cancer
risk
of
1x10
­6
to
illustrate
risk
levels
from
another
perspective.
All
totaled,
when
each
type
of
calculation
is
considered,
108
different
crop/
application
method
calculations
were
completed
for
residential
handlers.

The
data
that
were
used
in
the
in
the
carbaryl
residential
handler
assessment
represent
the
best
data
and
approaches
that
are
currently
available.
For
most
of
the
major
use
patterns,
carbaryl­
specific
data
or
data
generated
by
the
Outdoor
Residential
Exposure
Task
Force
were
used.
These
data
generally
are
considered
to
be
high
quality
by
the
Agency
and
the
best
source
of
information
available
for
the
scenarios
where
they
were
used.
Carbaryl­
specific
data
were
used
to
address
the
garden
and
68
tree/
ornamental
scenarios
with
several
types
of
equipment
and
formulations
including
liquid
trigger
sprayers,
dusts,
and
liquid
sprays
using
low
pressure
handwand
and
hose­
end
sprayers.
Carbarylspecific
data
were
also
available
for
dusting
dogs.
The
ORETF
data
for
hose­
end
sprayer
applications
to
turf
and
granular
applications
to
turf
were
also
used
to
address
those
scenarios.
In
the
remaining
scenarios,
the
Pesticide
Handlers
Exposure
Database
(PHED)
was
used
to
develop
the
unit
exposure
values.
The
quality
of
the
data
included
in
PHED
vary
widely
from
scenarios
that
meet
guideline
requirements
for
studies
to
others
where
a
limited
number
of
poor
quality
datapoints
are
available.
All
data
that
have
been
used
may
not
be
of
optimal
quality
but
represent
the
best
available
data.

The
inputs
for
application
rate
and
other
use/
usage
information
(e.
g.,
area
treated
and
frequency
of
use)
used
by
the
Agency
were
supported
by
the
available
carbaryl
labels
and
information
supplied
by
the
Aventis
Crop
Science
at
the
September
24,
1998
SMART
Meeting.
It
is
also
very
clear
that
because
carbaryl
is
such
as
widely
used
chemical
that
it
is
likely
every
potential
exposure
scenario
has
not
been
captured
because
of
difference
in
use
pattern.
As
more
refined
information
becomes
available
on
carbaryl
use,
the
Agency
will
refine
its
assessment
accordingly.

In
summary,
with
respect
to
residential
handler
risks,
the
Agency
believes
that
the
values
presented
in
this
assessment
represent
the
highest
quality
results
that
could
be
produced
given
the
exposure,
use,
and
toxicology
data
that
are
available.
However,
there
are
certain
elements
where
additional
data
are
required.
For
example,
it
is
difficult
to
ascertain
where
on
a
distribution
certain
input
values
may
fall
because
the
distributional
data
for
exposure,
application
rates,
acres
treated
and
many
other
parameters
are
unrefined.

Postapplication:
Like
the
residential
handler
assessment
discussed
above,
the
postapplication
residential
assessment
for
carbaryl
is
also
complex
in
that
noncancer
MOE
calculations
were
required
based
on
the
recently
selected
endpoints
along
with
cancer
risk
calculations
using
a
linear,
low­
dose
extrapolation
model.
Carbaryl
residues
persist
in
the
environment
as
indicated
in
the
available
DFR
and
TTR
data
for
periods
where
intermediate­
term
as
well
as
short­
term
noncancer
risk
estimates
are
required.
Cancer
risks
were
calculated
only
for
adults
per
current
Agency
policy.

The
general
population
can
be
exposed
through
many
different
pathways
that
result
from
uses
on
lawns
and
turf,
in
gardens,
on
ornamental
plants,
and
from
treated
pets.
People
can
also
be
exposed
from
mosquito
adulticide
applications
and
uses
in
oyster
beds.
Carbaryl
labels
do
not
currently
allow
for
indoor
residential
uses
(e.
g.,
crack
and
crevice).
Settings
where
such
exposures
could
occur
would
include
around
personal
residences
and
in
other
areas
frequented
by
the
general
public
including
parks,
ball
fields,
and
playgrounds.
To
represent
the
wide
array
of
possible
exposures,
the
Agency
relies
on
the
scenarios
that
have
been
defined
in
the
SOPs
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
and
accompanying
documents
such
as
the
overview
presented
to
the
FIFRA
Science
Advisory
Panel.
For
turf
uses,
the
Agency
considered
adults
and
toddlers
(3
year
olds)
in
the
assessments.
Adult
activities
included
lawncare/
maintenance
and
also
golfing.
Toddler
MOEs
were
calculated
for
playing
on
turf
(using
exposure
data
from
the
Jazzercize
model)
and
also
addressed
nondietary
ingestion
(hand­/
object­
tomouth
and
soil
ingestion).
Exposures
from
tree
and
garden
uses
were
evaluated
by
considering
adults
and
youth­
aged
children
(10
to
12
years
old)
doing
gardening
activities
such
as
weeding
and
harvesting
for
different
crop
groups.
Transfer
coefficients
from
the
fruiting
vegetable
crop
group
and
the
69
deciduous
tree
crop
group
were
used,
as
described
in
the
SOPs
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
to
represent
exposures
for
these
scenarios.
MOEs
from
treated
pets
were
evaluated
for
toddlers
again
for
whom
exposures
may
occur
from
dermal
contact
and
hand­
to­
mouth
behavior.
Adulticide
mosquito
applications
were
considered
by
first
defining
how
much
residues
are
deposited
on
the
ground
after
a
mosquito
control
application
then
using
the
same
methods
approaches
from
the
lawncare
assessment
to
address
adults
doing
heavy
yardwork
or
golfing
and
also
children
playing
on
treated
turf.

The
data
that
were
used
in
the
carbaryl
residential
postapplication
assessment
represent
the
best
data
and
approaches
that
are
currently
available.
To
the
extent
possible,
the
Agency
has
attempted
to
use
carbaryl­
specific
data
such
as
with
the
dislodgeable
foliar
residue
(DFR)
data
used
for
the
garden
scenarios
and
the
turf
transferable
residue
(TTR)
data
used
for
the
dermal
component
of
the
turf
scenarios.
When
chemical­
specific
data
were
unavailable,
the
Agency
used
the
current
approaches
for
residential
assessment,
many
of
which
include
recent
upgrades
to
the
SOPs.
For
example,
for
the
toddler
hand­
to­
mouth
calculations,
the
TTR
data
were
not
used
but
a
5
percent
transferability
factor
was
applied
to
calculate
residue
levels
appropriate
for
this
exposure
pathway.
Another
key
approach
to
consider
is
the
use
of
the
dermal
hug
approach
for
pet
products
which
was
proposed
at
the
September
1999
meeting
of
the
FIFRA
Science
Advisory
Panel.
Oyster
bed
uses
were
evaluated
based
on
guidance
from
Superfund
and
the
Agency's
SWIMODEL.
There
are
also
many
embedded
uncertainties
that
should
be
considered
in
the
interpretation
of
this
assessment
such
as
those
associated
with
the
use
of
Jazzercize
and
with
the
nondietary
ingestion
calculations.
Readers
should
consider
these
in
the
interpretation
of
the
overall
risk
estimates.
Readers
should
also
consider
the
screening
nature
of
the
SOPs
For
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
and
how
additional
data
could
refine
the
results.

Finally,
the
Agency
believes
that
the
values
presented
in
this
assessment
represent
the
highest
quality
results
that
could
be
produced
based
on
the
currently
available
postapplication
exposure
data.
Certainly
risk
managers
and
other
interested
parties
should
consider
the
quality
of
individual
inputs
when
interpreting
the
results
and
make
decisions
accordingly.
It
is
difficult
to
ascertain
where
on
a
distribution
the
values
which
have
been
calculated
fall
because
the
distributional
data
for
exposure,
residue
dissipation
and
many
other
parameters
are
unrefined.
The
Agency
does
believe,
however,
that
the
risks
represent
conservative
estimates
of
exposure
because
maximum
application
rates
are
used
to
define
residue
levels
upon
which
the
calculations
are
based.
Additionally,
estimates
are
thought
to
be
conservative
even
when
measures
of
central
tendency
(e.
g.,
most
transfer
coefficients
are
thought
to
be
central
tendency)
are
used
because
values
that
would
be
considered
to
be
in
the
lower
percentile
aspect
of
any
input
parameter
have
not
been
used
in
the
calculations.

There
are
many
studies
on
carbaryl
in
the
published
literature
or
available
from
various
governmental
Agencies
because
it
is
so
widely
used
that
can
be
used
to
inform
risk
managers
about
the
results
of
the
risk
assessment.
For
example,
the
Agency's
Office
of
Research
and
Development,
along
with
other
Agencies,
has
funded
a
project
entitled
Pesticide
Exposure
in
Children
Living
in
Agricultural
Areas
along
the
United
States­
Mexico
Border
Yuma
County,
Arizona.
Preliminary
results
of
this
study
indicate
that
carbaryl
residues
were
identified
in
the
dust
of
20
percent
of
the
152
houses
sampled
and
in
approximately
24
percent
in
25
samples
collected
in
6
schools
in
the
same
region.

The

7
1000
adults
were
monitored
via
urine
collection.
One
of
the
analytes
measured
in
that
study
(1­
naphthol)
is
a
potential
metabolite
of
carbaryl
as
well
as
of
napthalene
and
napropamide.
This
metabolite
was
identified
in
86
percent
of
the
1000
adults
monitored
where
the
mean
value
was
17
ppb
and
the
99th
percentile
was
290
ppb.
These
values
were
not
used
quantitatively
in
the
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl
because
of
the
associated
uncertainties.
However,
the
results
from
both
studies
indicate
that
carbaryl
residues
are
present
in
areas
frequented
by
the
general
population
and
that
the
scenarios
which
consider
a
broad
range
of
exposures
are
reasonable.

4.4.5
Exposure
from
the
Use
of
Tobacco
Risks
from
carbaryl
residues
contained
in
tobacco
products
have
been
calculated
based
on
a
pyrolysis
study
in
tobacco.
In
assessing
exposure
through
use
of
tobacco,
HED
has
assumed
that
the
greatest
exposure
to
carbaryl
would
come
from
cigarettes.
Further,
HED
has
assumed
that
the
average
U.
S.
smoker
smokes
15
cigarettes
per
day.
8
Based
on
a
pyrolysis
study
submitted
by
the
registrant,
residues
of
carbaryl
total
approximately
44.58
ppm
in
combined
side­
stream
and
main­
stream
tobacco
smoke
(Memorandum
from
Thurston
Morton
dated
September
29,
1998,
D230407).
Since
this
is
a
composited
sample
of
main­
stream
and
side­
stream
smoke,
it
greatly
exaggerates
the
actual
exposure
to
the
smoker,
whose
primary
route
of
exposure
is
via
main­
stream
smoke.
HED
further
assumes
that
100
percent
of
that
inhaled
is
absorbed
(i.
e.,
that
none
of
the
residue
is
exhaled
along
with
the
smoke).
These
assumptions
result
in
an
extreme
overestimate
of
actual
likely
exposure.
With
the
assumptions
regarding
residue
levels
and
smoking
frequency,
and
assuming
an
average
body
weight
of
70
kg,
HED
estimated
that
exposure
to
carbaryl
will
not
exceed
0.0096
mg/
kg/
day
[44.58
:
g/
g
cigarette
×

g/
cigarette
×
15
cigarettes/

×
1
mg/
1000
:
g
÷
70
kg
body
weight
=
0.0096
mg/
kg/
day].

The
short­
term
inhalation
NOAEL
is
1
mg/
kg/
day
and
is
based
on
an
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
in
the
rat.
Based
on
the
inhalation
NOAEL,
the
short­
term
MOE
for
carbaryl
exposure
from
the
use
of
tobacco
is
estimated
to
be
104
even
with
the
expectation
that
the
calculated
risks
are
an
extreme
overestimate.
The
residential
target
MOE
is
100.
The
Agency
has
not
examined
intermediate­
or
long­
term
exposure
to
carbaryl
via
tobacco
due
to
the
severity
and
quantity
of
health
effects
associated
with
the
use
of
tobacco
products.

4.4.6
Other

This
assessment
for
carbaryl

the
Agency's
current
approaches
for
completing

Overview
of
Issues
Related
to
the
Standard
Operating
Procedures
for
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
presented
at
the
September
1999
meeting
of
the
FIFRA
Scientific
Advisory
Panel
(SAP).
The
Agency
is,
however,
currently
in
the
process
of
revising
its
guidance
for
completing
these
types
of
assessments.
Modifications
to
this
assessment
shall
be
incorporated
as
updated
guidance
becomes
available.
This
will
potentially
include
expanding
the
scope
of
the
residential
exposure
assessments
by
developing
guidance
for
characterizing
exposures
from
other
sources
already
not
addressed
such
as
from
spray
drift;
residential
residue
track­
in;
exposures
to
farmworker
children;
and
exposures
to
children
in
schools.

AGGREGATE
RISK
ASSESSMENTS
AND
RISK
CHARACTERIZATION
Based
on
the
requirements
of
FQPA,
aggregate
risk
assessments
consider
combined
exposure
from
food,
water
and
residential
uses.
Different
types
of
aggregate
assessments
are
required
depending
upon
the
use
patterns
for
a
chemical,
the
types
of
toxic
effects
associated
with
it,
and
the
anticipated
durations
of
exposure.
A
series
of
aggregate
calculations
have
been
completed
for
carbaryl.
Section
5.1:
Calculation
of
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
describes
how
these
values
have
been
determined.
Section
5.2:
Acute
Dietary
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
presents
the
results
for
the
acute
dietary
only
assessment.
Section
5.3:
Chronic
Dietary
Aggregate
Risks
and

presents
the
results
for
the
chronic
dietary
only
assessment.
Section
5.4:
Shortterm
Aggregate
Risks
and

presents
the
results
for
the
short­
term
assessment
which
includes
dietary
intake
and
residential
exposures.
Section
5.5:
Intermediate­
term
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
presents
the
results
for
the
intermediate­
term
assessment
which
includes
dietary
intake
and
residential
exposures.
Section
5.6:

Cancer
Risks
and

presents
the
results
for
the
cancer
assessment
that
includes
dietary
intake
and
residential
exposures.
Section
5.7:
Summary
of
Aggregate
Risks
provides
an
overview
of
the
aggregate
risk
assessment
results.

5.1
Calculation
of
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
The
Agency
has
developed
several
guidance
documents
describing
the
mathematical
approaches
used
in
calculating
aggregate
risks,
the
theoretical
basis
for
these
calculations,
and
the
interpretation
of
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
that
requires
the
Agency
to
complete
these
kinds
of
calculations.
9
The
underlying
approach,
regardless
of
the
calculation
type,
is
the
same.
The
overall
risks
associated
with
a
specific
chemical
are
determined
by
its
hazard
database
and
its
associated
uncertainty
factors
or
negligible
risks
if
the
concern
is
cancer.
These
two
elements,
combined,
are
used
to
define
limits
for
the
amount
of
overall
exposures
an
individual
can
receive
from
the
chemical.
Once
these
limits
have
been
defined,
contributions
from
different
sources
of
exposure
are
added
together
to
see
if
the
aggregate
limit
is
exceeded.

The
approach
used
by
the
Agency
for
these
calculations
is
to
add
together
estimates
for
dietary
food
intake
and
residential
exposure
(not
used
for
acute
assessment
which
is
food
and
water
72
only)
then
subtract
this
from
the
exposure
limit
to
see
what
portion
of
the
limit
is
still
available,
if
any.
If
there
is
room
still
left
under
the
limit
(i.
e.,
dietary
and
residential
exposures
combined
do
not
exceed
the
exposure
limit),
then
drinking
water
exposures
are
considered
by
calculating
DWLOCs
(Drinking
Water
Levels
of
Concern).
If
there
is
no
room
left
under
the
limit
then
the
Agency
knows
the
overall
exposure
limit
has
been
exceeded
even
without
considering
drinking
water
intake
and
no
further
calculations
are
completed.

DWLOCs
represent
the
concentration
of
carbaryl
residues
in
drinking
water
that
cannot
be
exceeded
for
aggregate
exposures
to
exceed
the
overall
exposure
limit.
If
appropriate,
DWLOCs
are
calculated
by
defining
what
part
of
the
exposure
limit
has
not
been
taken
up
from
dietary
and
residential
exposures
which
in
turn
defines
the
maximum
amount
of
exposure
one
can
have
from
drinking
water.
This
can
be
a
very
simple
calculation
such
as
subtracting
acute
food
exposures
from
the
aPAD
or
chronic
food
intake
and
residential
LADD
estimates
from
the
Q1*
in
a
cancer
calculation.
In
some
cases
it
can
be
more
complex
such
as
for
the
short­
term
assessment
that
required
using
the
1/
MOE
approach
described
above
in
Section
4.4.2.1:
Residential
Handler
Noncancer
Risks
where
water
and
dietary
MOEs
are
added
to
the
equation
and
compared
to
the
target
MOE.
The
equation
was
then
solved
for
the
water
MOE
which
was
in
turn
used
to
calculate
the
maximum
drinking
water
exposure
using
the
short­
term
oral
NOAEL.
Maximum
allowable
drinking
water
exposure
levels
were
then
used
to
calculate
concentrations
in
water
based
on
standard
daily
consumption
estimates
and
body
weight
factors
for
different
subpopulations.
Adults
were
assumed
to
intake
2
liters
of
water
per
day
while
small
children
and
infants
were
assumed
to
intake
1
liter
of
water
per
day.
Standard
body
weights
were
also
used
(i.
e.,
10
kg
for
small
children,
60
kg
for
adult
females,
and
70
kg
for
other
adult
scenarios).
The
equation
used
to
calculate
the
DWLOCs
is
presented
below:

DWLOC(
µg/
L)
=
[water
exposure
(mg/
kg
bw/
day)
x
body
weight
(kg)]
[water
consumption
(L)
x
10
­3
mg/
µg]

[Note:
Water
exposure,
body
weight,
and
consumption
inputs
are
specific
to
certain
exposure
durations,
toxicity
concerns,
and
populations
so
they
will
vary
from
assessment
to
assessment.]

Once
the
DWLOCs
have
been
calculated
they
were
then
compared
to
the
Estimated
Environmental
Concentrations
(EECs)
which
were
defined
by
the
Environmental
Fate
and
Effects
Division
(Section
4.3.3:
Modeling
EECs,
Table
10).
Drinking
water
sources
can
include
surface
water
or
groundwater.
EEC
values
were
calculated
for
both.
For
surface
water,
computer
modeling
with
the
EPA
PRZM3.12
and
EXAMS
2.97.7
programs
were
used
to
estimate
the
concentration
of
carbaryl
in
surface
water.
Index
reservoir
scenarios
corrected
for
Percent
Cropped
Area
(PCA)
for
representative
crops
were
used.
The
maximum
calculated
acute
and
chronic
EECs
(494
ppb
and
28
ppb,
respectively)
resulted
from
use
on
citrus
in
Florida.
In
this
case,
the
results
for
Florida
provided
the
highest
estimates;
however,
in
Florida
the
majority
of
drinking
water
is
derived
from
groundwater
(>
90%)
so
high
surface
water
concentrations
do
not
necessarily
indicate
high
exposure.
As
a
result,
both
Florida
and
the
results
for
Oregon
apples
have
been
considered
in
the
aggregate
assessment.
The
EECs
for
Oregon
apples
are
the
next
highest
values
for
both
the
acute
and
chronic
estimates
(144
and
9
ppb,
respectively).
Carbaryl
chemical
properties
are
outside
the
range
of
values
for
which
SCI­
GROW
was
developed
(i.
e.,
aerobic
metabolism
is
faster
and
its
partition
coefficient
is
larger
which
equates
to
73
less
leaching
than
the
reference
compounds
­
both
factors
indicate
carbaryl
degrades
faster
than
the
reference
chemicals).
SCI­
GROW
estimates
for
groundwater
EECs
may
not
predict
with
complete
accuracy,
maximum
levels
because
the
concentrations
calculated
are
90
day
averages.
It
is
possible;
therefore,
that
groundwater
concentration
peaks
could
not
be
identified.
Groundwater
levels
are
anticipated,
however,
to
be
more
stable
than
surface
water
concentrations.

If
the
EEC
is
less
than
the
corresponding
DWLOC
then
the
Agency
has
no
concerns
for
aggregate
risks
for
the
scenario.
If
EECs
exceed
the
DWLOC
then
aggregate
risks
are
of
concern.
For
carbaryl,
there
were
many
residential
scenarios
where
the
combined
MOEs
(i.
e.,
combinations
of
inhalation,
dermal
and
nondietary
ingestion
as
appropriate)
exceed
the
Agency's
risk
targets
making
the
calculation
of
DWLOCs
and
aggregate
risks
for
those
scenarios
inappropriate
because
exposure
limits
have
already
been
exceeded.
Additionally,
acute
dietary
risks
were
also
exceeded
for
infants
and
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
at
the
99.9
th
percentile
when
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS)
was
not
considered
in
the
assessment.
However,
the
risk
picture
could
substantively
change
if
residential
risks
are
refined
based
on
updated
use
information
from
the
carbaryl
survey
yet
to
be
submitted
to
the
Agency
and
the
Agency
chooses
to
regulate
using
the
results
of
the
CMBS.

Keeping
this
in
mind,
the
Agency
completed
DWLOC
and
aggregate
risk
calculations
for
illustrative
purposes
using
a
number
of
representative
exposure
scenarios
where
the
residential
and
dietary
risk
estimates
did
not
already
exceed
the
Agency's
level
of
concern.
For
example,
an
acute
assessment
with
CMBS
results
included
and
short­
term
assessments
where
residential
handler
risks
weren't
already
of
concern
were
completed.
The
Agency
also
specifically
selected
some
scenarios
because
they
represent
major
residential
uses
(e.
g.,
garden
dusts)
or
specialized
low
exposure
scenarios
(e.
g.,
mosquito
control).

The
Agency
approach
for
calculating
aggregate
risks
using
different
sources
of
data
to
create
different
exposure
scenarios
for
illustrative
purposes
is
consistent
with
Agency­
wide
guidance
for
exposure
assessment
and
risk
characterization
(e.
g.,
PDP
and
carbamate
market
basket
survey,
various
water
scenarios,
and
selected
residential
scenarios).
The
Agency
takes
this
approach
to
allow
for
more
informed
risk
management
decisions
that
consider
as
much
available
data
as
possible
along
with
the
uncertainties
associated
with
those
data.
For
example,
it
is
appropriate
to
present
results
based
on
both
PDP
and
the
carbamate
market
basket
survey.
PDP
data
are
routinely
used
in
Agency
risk
assessments
and
the
market
basket
study
is
of
sufficient
quality
for
incorporation
in
the
risk
assessment.
However,
there
are
uncertainties
associated
with
the
use
of
each
data
source
(e.
g.,
rubbing
of
fruit
prior
to
extraction
in
the
carbamate
market
basket
survey
which
may
decrease
residue
levels
as
described
above
in
Section
4.2).
74
5.2
Acute
Dietary
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
The
results
of
the
acute
aggregate
risk
assessment
are
presented
below
in
Table
17.
These
calculations
are
based
on
the
use
of
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS).
Even
with
the
use
of
the
CMBS,
aggregate
risks
when
surface
water
is
the
source
of
drinking
water,
are
still
of
concern
for
all
infants,
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
and
children
(7
to
12
years
old)
regardless
of
whether
or
not
Florida
citrus
or
Oregon
apple
EECs
are
used
(i.
e.,
surface
water
is
not
a
major
drinking
water
source
in
Florida).
If
Florida
citrus
data
are
solely
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
of
concern
for
all
subpopulations.
Aggregate
risks
for
all
subpopulations
are
not
of
concern
if
groundwater
is
the
source
of
drinking
water.
[Note:
Most
DWLOCs
exceed
the
corresponding
EECs
for
groundwater
by
an
order
of
magnitude
or
greater.
This
should
be
considered
along
with
the
caution
that
it
is
possible
that
SciGrow
might
underestimate
groundwater
concentrations
for
carbaryl.]

Chronic
Dietary
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
The
results
of
the
chronic
aggregate
risk
assessment
are
presented
below
in
Table
18.
Chronic
aggregate
risks
were
not
of
concern
for
any
subpopulation
regardless
of
the
source
of
drinking
water,
even
considering
the
Florida
surface
water
EECs.
There
is
one
chronic
residential
exposure
scenario
associated
with
the
use
of
pet
collars
where
the
MOEs
for
children
are
of
concern.
As
such,
exposure
from
pet
collars
was
not
included
in
the
chronic
DWLOC
calculations
because
of
the
risk
concerns
for
this
scenario
and
to
illustrate
chronic,
aggregate
risks
for
all
others
who
are
not
exposed
to
collars.

Short­
term
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
The
results
of
the
short­
term
aggregate
risk
assessment
are
presented
below
in
Table
19.
The
exposure
scenarios
which
were
considered
in
this
assessment
represent
a
broad
range
of
carbaryl
uses.
The
only
scenarios
for
toddlers
that
were
included
were
for
the
mosquito
control
and
oyster
bed
uses.
The
Agency
has
risk
concerns
for
all
other
scenarios
that
were
addressed
for
toddlers
based
on
residential
exposures
alone
including
uses
on
turf
and
uses
on
pets
(see
Section
4.4.3.1:
Residential
Postapplication
Exposure
and
Noncancer
Risks).
In
the
residential
assessment,
youth
(ages
10
to
12)
were
also
considered
in
home
garden
scenarios.
The
risk
estimates
for
these
children
are
similar
to
that
for
adults
so
aggregate
risks
were
calculated
only
for
adults
with
the
stipulation
that
the
results
represent
both
populations
(i.
e.,
risks
are
actually
slightly
worse
for
adults).
For
adults,
the
following
postapplication
exposures
were
considered:
after
mosquito
control
(doing
heavy
yardwork/
lawncare);
golfing;
gardening
(highest
exposure
activity
­
tree
fruit
harvest);
and
oyster
harvesting.
Adults
doing
heavy
lawncare
tasks
after
normal
applications
to
turf
were
of
concern
for
residential
exposure
alone
so
they
were
not
considered
in
the
aggregate
assessment.
Additionally,
several
aggregate
assessments
for
homeowner
handlers
(most
at
average
application
rates)
were
completed
based
on
application
of
dusts
(gardens
and
pets):
hose­
end
sprayer;
liquid
spray
spot
lawn
treatments;
and
broadcast
application
of
granulars
to
lawns.
The
handler
scenarios
are
numbered
and
these
correspond
to
the
residential
risk
assessment
scenario
numbers.
Risks
for
these
handler
scenarios
at
higher
application
rates
(e.
g.,
label
maximums)
were
of
concern
for
residential
exposure
alone
so
they
were
not
considered
in
the
aggregate
assessment.
All
calculations
for
adults
were
completed
for
both
women
and
men.
Results
were
similar
for
both
populations.

If
surface
water
EECs
based
on
Oregon
apples
or
groundwater
EECs
from
Sci­
Grow
are
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern
for
the
selected
scenarios.
If
EECs
from
Florida
citrus
are
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern
for
the
selected
scenarios
except
for
application
of
dusts
76
to
gardens
at
the
average
rate
keeping
in
mind
that
surface
water
is
not
a
major
drinking
water
source
in
Florida.
[Note:
Most
DWLOCs
exceed
the
corresponding
EECs
for
groundwater
by
orders
of
magnitude.
This
should
be
considered
along
with
the
caution
that
it
is
possible
that
Sci­
Grow
might
underestimate
groundwater
concentrations
for
carbaryl.]

Intermediate­
term
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs
Separate
intermediate­
term
aggregate
risk
and
DWLOC
calculations
were
not
completed
for
carbaryl
because
the
short­
term
aggregate
risk
estimates
essentially
present
the
same
results
since
the
hazard
inputs
are
numerically
identical.
The
only
major
differences
would
be
the
postapplication
results
77
where,
instead
of
a
single
day
exposure
estimate,
the
exposures
represent
a
30
day
average.
The
DWLOCs
were
not
of
concern
for
the
short­
term
exposure
scenarios
and
they
would
not
be
expected
to
be
of
concern
for
the
intermediate­
term
scenarios
since
the
exposures
would
be
lowered
because
an
average
was
used
instead
of
a
single
day,
higher
exposure
estimate.

Aggregate
Cancer
Risks
and
DWLOCs
The
results
of
the
aggregate
cancer
risk
assessment
are
presented
below
in
Table
20.
The
exposure
scenarios
which
were
considered
in
this
assessment
represent
a
broad
range
of
carbaryl
uses.
The
same
scenarios
for
adults
were
considered
as
in
the
short­
term
assessment
described
above
in
Section
5.4:
Short­
term
Aggregate
Risks
and
DWLOCs.
Aggregate
cancer
risks
were
not
of
concern
for
any
subpopulation
regardless
of
the
source
of
drinking
water,
even
considering
the
Florida
surface
water
EECs.

Summary
of
Aggregate
Risks
In
many
residential
scenarios,
MOEs
exceed
the
Agency's
risk
targets
making
the
calculation
of
DWLOCs
and
aggregate
risks
for
those
scenarios
inappropriate
because
exposure
limits
have
already
been
exceeded.
Additionally,
acute
dietary
risks
were
also
exceeded
for
infants
and
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
at
the
99.9
th
percentile
when
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS)
was
not
considered
in
the
assessment.
However,
the
risk
picture
could
substantively
change
if
residential
risks
are
refined
based
on
updated
use
information
from
the
carbaryl
use
survey
yet
to
be
submitted
to
the
Agency
and
the
Agency
regulates
using
the
results
of
the
CMBS.
The
Agency
approach
for
calculating
aggregate
risks
using
different
sources
of
data
to
create
different
exposure
scenarios
for
illustrative
purposes
is
consistent
with
Agency­
wide
guidance
for
exposure
assessment
and
risk
characterization
(e.
g.,
PDP
and
carbamate
market
basket
survey,
various
water
scenarios,
and
selected
residential
scenarios).
The
Agency
takes
this
approach
to
allow
for
more
informed
risk
management
decisions
that
consider
as
much
available
data
as
possible
along
with
the
uncertainties
associated
with
those
data.
For
example,
it
is
appropriate
to
present
results
based
on
both
PDP
and
the
carbamate
market
basket
survey.
PDP
data
are
routinely
used
in
Agency
risk
assessments
and
the
market
basket
study
is
of
sufficient
quality
for
incorporation
in
the
risk
assessment.
However,
there
are
uncertainties
associated
with
the
use
of
each
data
source
(e.
g.,
rubbing
of
fruit
prior
to
extraction
in
the
carbamate
market
basket
survey).

Keeping
this
in
mind,
the
Agency
completed
DWLOC
and
aggregate
risk
calculations
for
illustrative
purposes
using
a
number
of
representative
exposure
scenarios
where
the
residential
and
dietary
risk
estimates
did
not
already
exceed
the
Agency's
level
of
concern.
For
example,
an
acute
assessment
with
CMBS
results
included
and
short­
term
assessments
where
residential
handler
risks
weren't
already
of
concern
were
completed.
The
highest
EECs
for
surface
water
were
from
Florida
citrus
but
most
drinking
water
in
Florida
is
from
groundwater.
Therefore,
results
from
surface
water
in
Florida
and
the
next
highest
values
(Oregon
apples)
were
considered
in
the
assessment.

The
acute
aggregate
assessment
indicates
that
even
with
the
use
of
the
Carbamate
Market
Basket
Survey
(CMBS),
aggregate
risks
when
surface
water
is
the
source
of
drinking
water,
are
still
of
concern
for
all
infants,
children
(1
to
6
years
old)
and
children
(7
to
12
years
old)
regardless
of
whether
or
not
Florida
citrus
or
Oregon
apple
EECs
are
used
(i.
e.,
surface
water
is
not
a
major
drinking
water
source
in
Florida).
If
Florida
citrus
results
are
solely
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
of
concern
for
all
subpopulations.
Surface
water
EECs
for
Florida
citrus
exceed
exposure
limits,
without
even
considering
food
intakes,
for
all
populations.
The
surface
water
EECs
for
Oregon
apples
exceed
exposure
limits
alone,
without
even
considering
food
intakes,
for
infants
and
children.
Acute
aggregate
risks
for
all
subpopulations
are
not
of
concern
if
groundwater
is
the
source
of
drinking
water.
Chronic
aggregate
risks
were
not
of
concern
for
any
subpopulation
regardless
of
the
source
of
drinking
water,
even
considering
the
Florida
surface
water
EECs.
In
the
short­
term
assessment,
the
Agency
selected
representative
scenarios
where
residential
risks
alone
were
not
of
concern
including
mosquito
control,
oyster
harvesting,
golfing,
garden
harvest,
and
several
handler
scenarios
(all
at
average
rates,
max
rate
scenarios
were
of
concern
for
residential
exposures
alone).
If
surface
water
EECs
based
on
Oregon
apples
or
groundwater
EECs
from
SciGrow
are
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern
for
the
selected
scenarios.
If
EECs
from
Florida
citrus
are
considered,
aggregate
risks
are
not
of
concern
for
the
selected
scenarios
except
for
application
of
dusts
to
gardens.
Separate
intermediate­
term
aggregate
risk
and
DWLOC
calculations
were
not
completed
for
carbaryl
because
the
short­
term
aggregate
risk
estimates
essentially
presented
the
same
results
since
the
hazard
inputs
were
numerically
identical.
The
only
major
differences
would
be
the
postapplication
results
where,
instead
of
a
single
day
exposure
79
estimate,
the
exposures
represented
a
30
day
average.
Aggregate
cancer
risks
were
not
of
concern
for
any
subpopulation
regardless
of
the
source
of
drinking
water,
even
considering
the
Florida
surface
water
EECs.

6.0
CUMULATIVE
RISK
The
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
(1996)
stipulates
that
when
determining
the
safety
of
a
pesticide
chemical,
EPA
shall
base
its
assessment
of
the
risk
posed
by
the
chemical
on,
among
other
things,
available
information
concerning
the
cumulative
effects
to
human
health
that
may
result
from
dietary,
residential,
or
other
non­
occupational
exposure
to
other
substances
that
have
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity.
The
reason
for
consideration
of
other
substances
is
due
to
the
possibility
that
low­
level
exposures
to
multiple
chemical
substances
that
cause
a
common
toxic
effect
by
a
common
mechanism
could
lead
to
the
same
adverse
health
effect
as
would
a
higher
level
of
exposure
to
any
of
the
other
substances
individually.
A
person
exposed
to
a
pesticide
at
a
level
that
is
considered
safe
may
in
fact
experience
harm
if
that
person
is
also
exposed
to
other
substances
that
cause
a
common
toxic
effect
by
a
mechanism
common
with
that
of
the
subject
pesticide,
even
if
the
individual
exposure
levels
to
the
other
substances
are
also
considered
safe.

Carbaryl
is
a
member
of
the
carbamate
class
of
pesticides.
This
class
also
includes
the
aldicarb,
methomyl
and
oxamyl
among
others.
HED
did
not
perform
a
cumulative
risk
assessment
as
part
of
this
reregistration
review
for
carbaryl
because
HED
has
not
yet
initiated
a
review
to
determine
if
there
are
any
other
chemical
substances
that
have
a
mechanism
of
toxicity
common
with
that
of
carbaryl.
For
purposes
of
this
reregistration
decision,
EPA
has
assumed
that
carbaryl
does
not
have
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
with
other
substances.

The
registrant
must
submit,
upon
EPA's
request
and
according
to
a
schedule
determined
by
the
Agency,
such
information
as
the
Agency
directs
to
be
submitted
in
order
to
evaluate
issues
related
to
whether
carbaryl
shares
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
with
any
other
substance
and,
if
so,
whether
any
tolerances
for
carbaryl
need
to
be
modified
or
revoked.
If
HED
identifies
other
substances
that
share
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
with
carbaryl,
HED
will
perform
aggregate
exposure
assessments
on
each
chemical,
and
will
begin
to
conduct
a
cumulative
risk
assessment
once
the
final
guidance
HED
will
use
for
conducting
cumulative
risk
assessments
is
available.

HED
has
recently
developed
a
framework
that
it
proposes
to
use
for
conducting
cumulative
risk
assessments
on
substances
that
have
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity.
This
guidance
reflects
recent
revisions
based
on
review
and
comment
from
earlier
guidance
issued
on
June
30,
2000
(65

The
recently
revised
guidance
is
entitled
Guidance
on
Cumulative
Risk
Assessment
of
Pesticide
Chemicals
That
Have
A
Common
Mechanism
Of
Toxicity
(January
14,
2002).
In
the
guidance,
it
is
stated
that
a
cumulative
risk
assessment
of
substances
that
cause
a
common
toxic
effect
by
a
common
mechanism
will
not
be
conducted
until
an
aggregate
exposure
assessment
of
each
substance
has
been
completed.

Before
undertaking
a
cumulative
risk
assessment,
HED
will
follow
procedures
for
identifying
chemicals
that
have
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
as
set
forth
in
the
"Guidance
for
Identifying

(64

HED
will
also
address
issues
described

7.0
OCCUPATIONAL
RISK
ASSESSMENT
This
section
of
the
risk
assessment
addresses
exposures
to
individuals
who
are
exposed
as
part
of
their
employment.
These
exposures
can
occur
because
people
have
contact
with
carbaryl
residues
while
using
commercial
products
containing
carbaryl
(i.
e.,
handlers)
or
by
being
in
areas
that
have
been
previously
treated
(postapplication
workers).
A
thorough
understanding
of
how
carbaryl
is
used
is
critical
to
the
development
of
a
quality
risk
assessment.
Because
this
information
is
also
critical
to
the
dietary
and
residential
exposure
assessments
presented
above,
available
use
information
has
already
been
summarized.
Please
refer
to
Section
4.1:
Summary
of
Registered
Uses
for
information
on
how
carbaryl
is
used.
All
calculations
for
occupationally
exposed
people
are
based
on
this
information.
Also,
for
more
detailed
information
pertaining
to
the
occupational
risk
calculations,
please
refer
to
the
Occupational
and
Residential
Exposure
Assessment
(D281418)
prepared
by
Jeff
Dawson.
The
document
D281418
contains
detailed
descriptions
of
the
data
used,
methods,
and
risks
calculated
for
each
scenario.

Section
7.1:
Occupational
Handler
Risk
Assessment
describes
the
data,
methods,
and
risk
results
(both
cancer
and
noncancer)
associated
with
the
use
of
commercial
products
which
contain
carbaryl.
Section
7.2:
Occupational
Postapplication
Risk
Assessment
describes
the
data,
methods,
and
risk
results
associated
with
exposures
to
workers
as
they
complete
activities
required
for
the
production
and
maintenance
of
crops
or
other
areas
such
as
turf
that
might
require
the
use
of
carbaryl.
Section
7.3:
Occupational
Risk
Characterization
provides
information
pertaining
to
the
quality
of
the
assessment
including
data
used,
uncertainties
with
the
methods,
and
any
other
information
that
might
be
used
to
describe
the
quality
of
the
results.
Section
7.4:
Human
and
Domestic
Animal
Incident
Data
Review
describes
the
analysis
conducted
by
Agency
epidemiologists.

7.1
Occupational
Handler
Risk
Assessment
The
Agency
completes
occupational
handler
risk
assessments
using
scenarios
as
the
basis
for
the
calculations
as
described
in
the
U.
S.
EPA
Guidelines
For
Exposure
Assessment.
For
commercial
pesticide
products,
the
Agency
categorizes
handler
exposures
based
on
the
kinds
of
formulations
(e.
g.,
liquids
or
various
solids),
the
kinds
of
equipment
used
to
make
applications
(e.
g.,
groundboom,
aerial,
or
airblast),
the
nature
of
the
task
(e.
g.,
mixing/
loading,
applying,
or
both
combined),
and
the
level
of
personal
protection
used.
Identifying
the
duration
of
exposure
is
also
a
critical
element
in
the
development
of
a
risk
assessment
to
ensure
that
the
proper
hazard
component
is
used.

For
carbaryl
uses,
the
Agency
identified
28
major
occupational
exposure
scenarios
based
on
the
types
of
equipment
and
techniques
that
potentially
can
be
used
for
carbaryl
applications.
Most
of
the
scenarios
were
classified
as
having
short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
exposures
(up
to
30
days
and
30
days
to
several
months,
respectively).
A
few
other
scenarios
have
also
been
addressed
that
are
thought
to
have
long­
term
or
chronic
exposures
(several
months
to
every
working
day)
associated
with
them
in
the
greenhouse
and
floriculture
industry.

The
quantitative
exposure/
risk
assessment
developed
for
occupational
handlers
was
based
on
the
following
scenarios.

For
each
of
these
scenarios,
risk
calculations
were
completed
based
on
eight
levels
of
personal
protection
that
were
defined
based
on
different
combinations
of
the
following:

1)
baseline
protection
(typical
work
clothing
or
a
long­
sleeved
shirt
and
long
pants,
no
respiratory
protection
and
no
chemical­
resistant
gloves);

2)
minimum
personal
protective
equipment
(baseline
scenario
with
the
use
of
chemical­
resistant
gloves
and
a
dust/
mist
respirator
with
a
protection
factor
of
5);

3)
maximum
personal
protective
equipment
(baseline
scenario
with
the
use
of
an
additional
layer
of
clothing
(e.
g.,
a
pair
of
coveralls),
chemical­
resistant
gloves,
and
an
air
purifying
respirator
with
a
protection
factor
of
10);

4)
engineering
controls
(use
of
an
appropriate
engineering
control
such
as
a
closed
tractor
cab
or
closed
loading
system
for
granulars
or
liquids).

Current
labels
mostly
require
single
layer
clothing,
chemical­
resistant
gloves,
and
no
respirator.

Data
and
Assumptions
A
series
of
assumptions
and
exposure
factors
served
as
the
basis
for
completing
the
occupational
handler
risk
assessments,
as
described
below.
The
assumptions
and
factors
used
in
the
risk
calculations
are
consistent
with
current
Agency
policy
for
completing
occupational
exposure
assessments
(e.
g.,
PHED
Surrogate
Exposure
Guide
and
Exposac
Policy
9:
Standard
Values
For
Daily
Acres
Treated
In
Agriculture).
[Note:
PHED
is
a
database
that
contains
monitored
field
data
used
for
assessments.
See
Section
4.4.2
Residential
Handler
Risk
Assessment
above
for
further
information.]
83
°
Average
body
weight
of
an
adult
handler
is
70
kg
as
described
in
the
residential
handler
assessments
(see
Section
4.4.2).

°
Several
generic
protection
factors
were
used
to
calculate
handler
exposures.
The
protection
factors
used
for
clothing
layers
(i.
e.,
50%)
and
gloves
(90%)
have
not
been
completely
evaluated
by
the
Agency.
Additionally,
protection
factor
was
used
to
estimate
exposures
that
involve
engineering
controls
if
required
(98%).
The
values
used
for
respiratory
protection
(i.
e.,
PF
5
or
PF
10)
are
based
on
the
NIOSH
Respirator
Decision
Logic.

°
For
cancer
risk
calculations,
a
value
of
30
application
events
per
year
for
all
commercial
applicator
scenarios
and
10
days
per
year
to
account
for
private
growers
was
used.
These
values
are
supported
by
the
data
included
in
the
University
of
California
studies
of
seasonal
labor
in
California
and
the
recent
Department
of
Labor
National
Agricultural
Worker
Survey
(NAWS).
The
exposure
duration
values
used
by
HED
in
the
cancer
risk
assessment
are
consistent
with
those
used
for
other
chemicals
(i.
e.,
35
working
years
and
70
year
lifetime).

°
In
many
scenarios,
it
is
likely
that
a
grower
would
mix,
load,
and
apply
chemicals
all
in
one
day
because
of
limited
labor,
efficiency,
or
many
other
reasons.
In
most
cases,
mixing/
loading
and
application
are
considered
separate
job
functions
because
of
the
available
data
and
also
it
allows
for
more
flexibility
in
the
risk
management
phase
(e.
g.,
assigning
requirements
for
specific
types
of
protective
equipment).

°
Flagging
during
aerial
applications
has
been
addressed
even
though
it
may
be
limited
in
nature
(10
to
15%
of
aerial
application
operations).
Engineering
controls
(e.
g.,
Global
Positioning
Satellite
technology)
are
now
predominantly
used
by
pilots
as
indicated
by
the
1998
National
Agricultural
Aviation
Association
(NAAA)
survey

The
maximum
application
rates
allowed
by
labels
were
used
in
the
risk
assessments.
If
additional
information,
such
as
average
or
typical
rates,
were
available,
these
values
were
used
as
well
in
order
to
allow
risk
managers
to
make
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision.
Average
application
rates
were
available
from
the
SMART
meeting
and
BEAD's
QUA.

°
The
average
occupational
workday
is
assumed
to
be
8
hours.
The
daily
areas
to
be
treated
were
defined
for
each
handler
scenario
(in
appropriate
units)
by
determining
the
amount
that
can
be
reasonably
treated
in
a
single
day
(e.
g.
acres,
animals).
The
factors
used
for
the
carbaryl
assessment
are
the
same
as
those
detailed
in
the
HED
Science
Advisory
Committee
on
Exposure
Policy
9:
Standard
Values
for
Daily
Acres
Treated
in
Agriculture.
The
daily
volumes
handled
and

The
veterinary
and

included
in
the
policy
but

in
previous
assessments.

For
direct
pet
animal
treatments,
the
Residential
SOPs,
were
used
to
define
the
amount
of
chemical
that
can
be
used
to
treat
a
single
animal,
which
in
turn
was
used
to
calculate
total
human
dose
levels.
The
actual
per
animal
application
rates
used
were
½
of
a
6
oz
bottle
for
liquid
shampoos
(0.5%)
and
½
of
4
lb
container
for
animal
powders
(10%).

°
Ultra
low
volume
applications
for
uses,
such
as
adulticide
mosquito
control,
were
considered
using
a
large
acreage
estimate
to
aerial
applicators.
The
mosquito
adulticide
uses
were
evaluated
in
the
same
manner
as
other
chemicals
used
for
that
purpose
(e.
g.,
the
same
acreage
estimates
were
used
as
for
other
chemicals
like
fenthion
and
naled).

°
There
were
several
scenarios
which
were
identified
for
which
no
appropriate
exposure
data
are
known
to
exist.
These
include:
animal
grooming
dust
application;
dust
applications
in
agriculture;
handheld
fogging
for
mosquito
and
other
pest
treatments;
power
backpack
application;
tree
injection;
and
drenching/
dipping
seedlings
(the
mixing/
loading
component
only
of
this
scenario
has
been
addressed
quantitatively).

The
unit
exposure
values
(mg
ai
exposure/
lb
ai
handled)
used
in
this
assessment
were
predominantly
based
on
PHED
and
summarized
in
the
surrogate
exposure
guidance.
In
addition
to
PHED,
five
studies
were
used
by
the
Agency.
One
used
carbaryl
to
quantify
exposures
for
professional
dog
groomers.
Two
were
completed
by
Aventis
Crop
Science
using
other
chemicals
that
quantified
exposures
to
granular
products
using
a
backpack
application
device.
One
was
submitted
by
Bayer
(now
in
the
process
of
acquiring
Aventis
Crop
Science
and
with
a
signed
PHED
data
waiver)
that
quantified
exposures
using
a
ready­
to­
use
trigger
sprayer.
Lastly,
an
ORETF
(Outdoor
Residential
Exposure
Task
Force,
of
which
Aventis
Crop
Science
is
a
member)
study
that
quantified
exposures
of
professional
11
Non­
ORETF
data
included
in
MRIDs
451672­
01
and
452507­
01
were
from
studies
submitted
by
Aventis
Crop
Science.
The
propoxur
trigger
sprayer
study
has
a
signed
PHED
data
waiver
but
has
not
been
included
into
PHED.
It
also
is
the
property
of
Bayer
Crop
Science
which
has
recently
acquired
Aventis
Crop
Science.
Some
of
the
handler
exposure
data
used
in
this
assessment
are
from
the
ORETF,
of
which
Aventis
Crop
Science,
is
a
member.

There
are
no

issues
with
any

these
data.
11
In
all
cases,
what
appears
to
be
the
best
available
data
have
been
used
to
complete
the
calculations.

7.1.1
Occupational
Handler
Non­
Cancer
Risks
Noncancer
risks
were
calculated
using
the
MOE
approach,
as
described
under
4.4.2.1.
The
major
differences
are
that
personal
protective
devices
are
used
and
longer
duration
exposures
(i.
e.,
intermediate­
term
and
chronic)
have
been
considered
as
appropriate.
Risk
estimates
for
short­
and
intermediate­
term
exposures
are
similar
because
all
numerical
inputs
for
both
durations
and
the
target
MOEs
were
identical.
A
NOAEL
from
the
21­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
in
rats
using
technical
grade
carbaryl
was
used
to
calculate
results
for
both
durations
(i.
e.,
20
mg/
kg/
day).
A
NOAEL
from
the
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats,
that
also
observed
at
the
same
level
in
a
subchronic
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats
(i.
e.,
1
mg/
kg/
day),
was
used
to
calculate
inhalation
risks.
The
target
MOE
was
100
for
all
assessments.
In
the
chronic
assessments,
a
LOAEL
(3.1.
mg/
kg/
day)
has
been
used
from
a
1
year
dog
feeding
study
for
both
dermal
and
inhalation
exposures
(with
a
dermal
absorption
factor
of
12.7
percent
applied).
The
target
MOE
for
the
chronic
assessments
is
300
because
a
LOAEL
was
used
instead
of
a
NOAEL.

Short­/
Intermediate­
term
Risks:
In
most
scenarios,
MOEs
meet
or
exceed
the
required
uncertainty
factor
of
100
at
some
level
of
personal
protection.
For
the
most
part,
current
label
requirements
for
personal
protection
(single
layer
clothing,
gloves,
and
no
respirator)
appear
to
be
generally
inadequate
for
most
scenarios
except
for
operations
where
exposures
are
low
and
the
amount
of
chemical
used
is
also
low.
Table
21
summarizes
the
results
for
short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
occupational
handlers.
[Note:
Scenarios
where
MOEs
are
still
of
concern
(i.
e.,
<100)
for
any
personal
protection
considered
are
highlighted
and
just
the
minimum
required
personal
protective
equipment
(PPE)
is
highlighted
if
it
exceeds
current
label
requirements
but
target
MOEs
can
be
achieved
at
higher
than
label
requirements
for
mitigation.]

Chronic
Risks:
MOEs
were
calculated
for
only
a
limited
number
of
exposure
ornamental
use
scenarios
where
the
Agency
believes
that
this
kind
of
exposure
pattern
may
exist.
These
calculations
were
also
completed
at
different
levels
of
personal
protection
as
illustrated
in
Table
22.
For
most
scenarios
(3
of
5),
MOEs
meet
or
exceed
the
required
uncertainty
factor
of
300
at
some
level
of
personal
protection.
The
granular
hand
application
scenarios
are
problematic.
The
uncertainty
factor
of
300
is
required
for
the
chronic
exposure
scenarios
because
a
LOAEL
and
not
a
NOAEL
was
used
for
risk
assessment.

7.1.2
Occupational
Handler
Cancer
Risks
Cancer
risks
were
calculated
by
multiplying
the
LADD
to
the
Q1*
(8.75
x
10
­4
(mg/
kg/
day)
­1
),
as
described
in
4.4.2.2.
HED
considered
two
distinct
populations
in
the
cancer
risk
assessment
­
private
growers
at
10
use
events
per
year
and
commercial
applicators
with
a
use
pattern
of
30
days
per
year.
The
Agency
has
defined
a
range
of
acceptable
cancer
risks
based
on
a
policy
memorandum
dated
August
14,
1996,
by
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
Director
Dan
Barolo.
This
memo
refers
to
a
predetermined
quantified
"level
of
concern"
for
occupational
carcinogenic
risk.
Risks
that
are
1
x
10
­6
or
lower
require
no
risk
management
action.
For
those
chemicals
subject
to
reregistration,
the
Agency
is
to
carefully
examine
uses
with
estimated
risks
in
the
10
­6
to
10
­4
range
to
seek
ways
of
cost­
effectively
reducing
risks.
If
carcinogenic
risks
are
in
this
range
for
occupational
handlers,
increased
levels
of
90
personal
protection
are
warranted
as
is
commonly
applied
with
noncancer
risk
estimates
(e.
g.,
additional
PPE
or
engineering
controls).
Carcinogenic
risks
that
remain
above
1
x
10
­4
at
the
highest
level
of
mitigation
appropriate
for
that
scenario
remain
a
concern.

Cancer
risks
for
private
growers
(i.
e.,
10
applications
per
year)
were
calculated
for
different
exposure
scenarios
at
different
levels
of
personal
protection.
All
scenarios
for
private
growers
have
risks
that
are
<1x10
­4
at
some
level
of
personal
protection
specified
in
the
Barolo
memo.
In
fact,
for
all
but
one
scenario
(Scen
4f:
Mixing/
loading
Wettable
Powders
for
wide
area
aerial
applications)
cancer
risks
are
<1x10
­4
at
current
label
requirements
for
personal
protection.
If
a
1x10
­6
risk
level
is
specified
as
a
concern,
results
are
similar
in
that
risks
for
a
majority
of
scenarios
are
<1x10
­6
at
current
label
requirements.
In
fact,
only
8
of
the
128
scenarios
considered
for
private
growers
have
cancer
risks
>1x10
­6
(and
less
than
1x10
­4
)
even
when
the
most
protective
ensembles
of
either
protective
clothing
or
engineering
controls
are
considered.
As
with
the
risks
calculated
for
private
growers,
cancer
risks
for
commercial
applicators
(i.
e.,
30
applications
per
year)
were
calculated
for
different
exposure
scenarios
at
different
levels
of
personal
protection.
Again,
risks
for
all
but
one
scenario
(Scen
4f:
Mixing/
loading
Wettable
Powders
for
wide
area
aerial
applications)
are
less
than
the
1x10
­4
level
specified
in
the
Barolo
memo
at
current
label
requirements
for
personal
protection
(i.
e.,
risks
for
this
scenario
are
<
1x10
­4
if
additional
protective
clothing
or
equipment
is
used).
If
a
1x10
­6
risk
level
is
specified
as
a
concern
for
commercial
applicators,
results
indicate
that
risks
for
about
half
of
the
scenarios
considered
are
<1x10
­6
at
current
label
requirements
and
that
only
21
of
the
128
scenarios
considered
have
cancer
risks
>1x10
­6
(and
less
than
1x10
­4
)
even
when
the
most
protective
ensembles
of
either
protective
clothing
or
engineering
controls
are
considered.
In
general,
the
cancer
risk
estimates
would
lead
to
less
restrictive
measures
when
compared
to
the
noncancer
results.
Table
23
below
provides
a
summary
of
the
cancer
risks
that
have
been
calculated
for
private
growers
and
commercial
applicators.

7.2
Postapplication
Exposures
and
Risks
Workers
can
be
exposed
to
carbaryl
residues
by
entering
previously
treated
areas
to
perform
activities.
Exposure
varies
with
the
specific
tasks
(i.
e.,
transfer
coefficient),
the
level
of
carbaryl
residue
in
the
environment
(i.
e.,
DFR
or
TTR
depending
upon
crop),
and
the
duration
of
the
activity.
Calculations
were
completed
using
the
same
approaches
as
already
outlined
above
for
the
residential
postapplication
risk
assessments
(Section
4.4.3:
Residential
Postapplication
Risks).

An
administrative
approach,
the
Restricted
Entry
Interval
(REI),
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
manage
risks
for
postapplication
workers
doing
hand
labor
activities
that
require
direct
contact
with
treated
plants.
The
REI
is
the
amount
of
time
required
between
application
of
a
pesticide
and
engaging
in
a
task
or
activity
in
a
treated
field
that
it
takes
for
residues
to
dissipate
to
an
appropriate
level.
Current
labels
for
carbaryl
specify
REIs
of
12
hours
after
application
for
all
crop/
cultural
practice
combinations.
In
other
cases
(e.
g.,
use
of
a
combine
or
other
mechanical
harvesting)
such
as
those
94
specified
in
the
Agency's
Worker
Protection
Standard
(40CFR170)
where
no
contact
will
occur,
the
Agency
does
not
rely
on
the
REI
approach
but
adheres
to
the
guidance
included
in
§170.110.(
c)(
3)
that
allows
for
entry
if
the
criteria
are
met.
The
Agency
also
considers
short­
term
excursions
for
people
for
such
activities
as
unclogging
machinery
as
stipulated
in
the
guidance
included
in
§170.112.(
c).
The
Agency
encourages
the
use
of
viable
engineering
controls
and
other
means
to
reduce
exposures
provided
they
are
not
overly
burdensome
for
actual
workers.
Generally,
it
should
also
be
noted
that
the
use
of
personal
protective
equipment
or
other
types
of
equipment
to
reduce
exposures
for
postapplication
workers
is
not
considered
a
viable
alternative
for
the
regulatory
process
except
in
specialized
situations
(e.
g.,
a
rice
scout
will
wear
rubber
boots
in
flooded
paddies).

As
with
the
occupational
handlers,
a
scenario­
driven
approach
is
used
to
assess
risks
for
reentry
workers.
The
Agency's
Policy
003.1
Science
Advisory
Council
For
Exposure
Policy
Regarding
Agricultural
Transfer
Coefficients
is
used
to
define
the
scenarios.
This
policy
presents
various
transfer
coefficients
which
represent
the
range
of
activities
associated
with
18
distinct
crop/
agronomic
groupings
based
on
different
types
of
job
tasks
or
activities
needed
to
produce
fruits,
vegetables,
grains,
and
other
crops.
In
this
scheme,
carbaryl
uses
were
identified
in
all
of
the
crop
groupings
included
in
the
policy.
As
such,
all
agronomic
crop
group/
transfer
coefficients
included
in
this
policy
were
used
to
calculate
postapplication
risks
for
carbaryl.

[Note:
This
assessment
includes
the
latest
transfer
coefficients
for
nursery
crops
which
have
been
recently
submitted
by
ARTF
and
reviewed
by
the
Agency.
Additionally,
the
transfer
coefficient
for
fruit

hand

has
been
reduced
from
original
policy
estimates
based
on
a
reinterpretation
by

which
it
was
based.]
95
Data
and
Assumptions
A
series
of
assumptions
and
exposure
factors
served
as
the
basis
for
completing
the
occupational
postapplication
risk
assessments,
as
described
below.
The
assumptions
and
factors
used
in
the
risk
calculations
are
consistent
with
current
Agency
policy
for
completing
occupational
exposure
assessments
(e.
g.,
Exposac
Policy
3
and
guidelines
for
handling
DFR
data).
The
assumptions
and
factors
used
in
the
risk
calculations
include:

C
Many
assumptions
and
factors
which
are
common
to
both
handler
and
postapplication
risk
assessments
are
detailed
in
Section
7.1:
Occupational
Handler
Risk
Assessment
(e.
g.,
body
weight).
One
major
difference
is
that
in
the
handler
assessment,
many
different
combinations
of
application
rates
and
crop
acres
treated
were
considered
but
in
the
postapplication
assessment,
generally
only
maximum
application
rates
were
considered.

C
Four
dislodgeable
foliar
residue
(DFR)
studies
were
submitted
that
meet
current
Agency
guidelines
for
sampling
techniques
and
data
quality.
These
studies
were
conducted
with
carbaryl
by
the
Agricultural
Re­
entry
Task
Force
(ARTF)
using
Iwata's
DFR
sampling
method
on
tobacco
(harvesting),
olives
(pruning),
sunflowers
(scouting),
and
cabbage
(weeding).
[Note:
Aventis
Crop
Science
is
a
member
of
the
ARTF
so
there
are
no
data
compensation
issues
associated
with
the
use
of
these
data.]
The
percent
of
transferability
averaged
approximately
16
percent
of
the
application
rate
for
the
crops.
A
turf
transferrable
residue
(TTR)
study
was
also
completed
by
Aventis
Crop
Science
using
the
ORETF
roller
method.
The
percent
of
transferability
averaged
approximately
1.1
percent
for
turf
measurements
at
three
different
sites.
HED
used
the
values
from
these
five
studies
for
all
postapplication
crops
and
scenarios
as
the
transferability
is
in
the
appropriate
range
for
use
in
risk
assessments.

C
Short­
term
noncancer
risks
were
calculated
by
comparing
single
day
exposures
based
on
the
dissipation
of
carbaryl
residues
(i.
e.,
single
day
risks
were
calculated
based
on
daily
DFR
dissipation
values
over
time).
With
the
intermediate­
term
postapplication
risk
calculations,
30­
day
averages
based
on
DFR
dissipation
and
an
appropriate
duration
for
the
endpoint
were
used
to
calculate
postapplication
risks.
In
the
long­
term
assessment,
a
30
day
average
was
used
based
on
the
likelihood
that
carbaryl
could
be
sprayed
at
least
once
a
month
in
the
ornamental
industry.
The
endpoints
used
are
the
same
as
those
described
above
for
the
dermal
component
in
the
handler
assessments
(i.
e.,
NOAEL
of
20
mg/
kg/
day
from
21­
day
dermal
rat
toxicity
study
using
technical
material
­
target
MOE
=
100
and
LOAEL
of
3.1
mg/
kg/
day
from
a
chronic
dog
feeding
study
with
a
dermal
absorption
factor
defined
in
rats
­
target
MOE
=
300).

C
A
standard
pseudo­
first
order
kinetics
analysis
was
used
to
analyze
carbaryl
residue
dissipation
over
time
as
outlined
in
the
Agency's
draft
Series
875
Postapplication
Exposure
Monitoring
Guidelines.
A
more
sophisticated
curve­
fitting
approach
was
not
warranted
because
the
correlation
coefficients
in
the
analysis
were
appropriate
and
the
data
have
been
used
generically
to
extrapolate
to
a
variety
of
other
crops
where
decay
rates
and
mechanisms
may
differ.

C
When
the
available
DFR
data
were
extrapolated
to
other
crops,
the
data
were
adjusted
for
differences
in
application
rate
using
a
simple
proportional
approach.
Carbaryl­
specific
residue
dissipation
data
were
extrapolated
to
crops
where
no
data
were
available.
The
tobacco
DFR
data
were
used
to
complete
all
assessments
for
the
crop/
activity
combinations
included
in
the
bunch/
bundle,
sugarcane,
and
vine/
trellis
agronomic
crop
groups.
The
olive
DFR
data
were
used
to
complete
all
assessments
for
the
crop/
activity
combinations
included
in
all
of
the
tree
fruit
and
96
nut
crop
groups.
The
sunflower
DFR
data
were
used
to
complete
all
assessments
for
the
crop/
activity
combinations
in
the
tall
field/
row
crop
group.
No
extrapolation
was
required
in
this
assessment.
The
cabbage
study
was
based
on
groundboom
application,
which
is
thought
to
be
much
more
prevalent
in
the
overall
use
pattern
for
carbaryl.
The
cabbage
DFR
data
were
used
to
complete
all
assessments
for
the
crop/
activity
combinations
included
in
the
berry,
cut
flower,
low/
medium
field
and
row,
and
all
vegetable
(i.
e.,
stem/
stalk,
brassica,
leafy,
fruiting,
cucurbits,
root)
agronomic
crop
groups.
The
turf
TTR
data
were
used
to
complete
all
assessments
for
the
crop/
activity
combinations
for
the
turf
agronomic
crop
group.
No
extrapolation
was
required
in
this
assessment.

°
There
were
several
scenarios
for
which
no
appropriate
exposure
data
are
known
to
exist.
There
are
many
kinds
of
potential
exposure
pathways
that
do
not
involve
foliar
contact
that
have
not
been
addressed
in
this
risk
assessment.
The
scenarios
include:
transplanting
many
crops
including
in
the
ornamental
and
forestry
industry;
thinning
some
crops
such
as
hops;
some
partially
mechanized
operations
that
also
involve
human
contact
(e.
g.,
cotton
harvesting
where
module
builders
and
trampers
are
used);
various
operations
with
Christmas
trees
such
as
pruning
or
baling;
and
various
operations
with
nut
production
such
as
sweeping
for
harvest.

°
Aventis
Crop
Science
is
in
the
process
of
conducting
a
biomonitoring
study
with
postapplication
workers
on
key
crops
of
concern
(i.
e.,
apples
and
cherries).
The
activities
that
were
monitored
included
hand
thinning
of
apples
and
hand
harvest
of
both
apples
and
cherries.
Based
on
discussions
with
Aventis
Crop
Science,
the
preliminary
results
indicate
that
levels
are
similar
to
those
predicted
in
the
Agency's
occupational
postapplication
risk
assessment.

7.2.1
Occupational
Postapplication
Noncancer
Risks
Current
label
requirements
specify
12
hour
REIs.
For
all
but
the
lowest
exposure
scenarios
in
some
crops,
short­
term
MOEs
are
of
concern
(i.
e.,
less
than
the
required
uncertainty
factor
of
100)
at
the
current
REI.
Generally,
short­
term
MOEs
meet
or
exceed
the
Agency
uncertainty
factor
in
the
range
of
3
to
5
days
for
lower
to
medium
exposure
activities
and
from
8
to
12
days
after
application
in
most
higher
exposure
scenarios.
Intermediate­
term
MOEs
are
not
of
concern
generally
for
low
to
medium
level
exposures
but
are
of
concern
for
higher
level
exposures
such
as
harvesting
in
some
crops.
Chronic
exposures
are
of
concern
for
the
cut
flower
industry
but
not
for
general
greenhouse
and
nursery
production
activities.
Table
24
below
provides
a
summary
of
the
noncancer
risks
that
have
been
calculated
for
each
crop
group
and
each
duration
of
exposure.
The
information
presented
includes
the
short­
term
MOEs
on
the
day
of
application,
the
day
after
application
where
the
short­
term
MOEs
meet
or
exceed
the
target
of
100,
the
intermediate­
term
MOEs
based
on
30
day
average
exposures,
and
chronic
MOEs
also
based
on
30
day
average
exposures
(only
for
a
limited
number
of
scenarios).

7.2.2
Occupational
Postapplication
Exposure
and
Risk
Estimates
for
Cancer
Cancer
risks
for
private
growers
(i.
e.,
10
exposures/
year)
and
commercial
farmworkers
(i.
e.,
30
exposures/
year)
were
calculated
for
different
crop
groups
as
described
above
and
summarized
in
Table
25
below.
Current
label
requirements
specify
12
hour
REIs.
For
all
scenarios,
cancer
risks
are
<1x10
­4
on
the
day
of
application
(i.
e.,
at
the
current
REI).
Likewise,
cancer
risks
are
<1x10
­6
on
the
day
of
application
for
most
crop/
activity
scenarios
with
private
growers
and
also
for
low
to
medium
exposures
for
commercial
farmworkers.
In
fact,
risks
for
all
scenarios
were
in
the
10
­6
range
in
all
but
two
scenarios
for
commercial
farmworkers
participating
in
very
high
exposure
activities
(e.
g.,
sweetcorn
handharvesting)
on
the
day
of
application.
In
these
three
cases,
risks
were
in
the
10
­5
range
on
the
day
of
application.
For
private
growers,
it
takes
approximately
5
days
for
risks
to
decline
to
<1x10
­6
for
crop/
activity
combinations
that
exceed
1x10
­6
on
the
day
of
application.
For
commercial
farmworkers,
it
takes
approximately
8
days
for
risks
to
reach
the
target
level
of
concern
of
<1x10
­6
.
The
1996
Barolo
memo
which
focused
on
cancer
risk
management
should
be
considered
in
the
interpretation
of
these
results.
Current
label
requirements
appear
to
be
adequate
for
all
postapplication
cancer
risks
if
the
10
­4
range
is
used
for
risk
management.
If
the
10
­6
risk
range
is
considered,
it
also
appears
that
the
current
REI
appears
adequate
to
address
cancer
risks
for
many
crop/
activity
combinations.
However,
for
higher
exposure
situations,
longer
duration
REIs
are
predicted.
In
all
cases,
REIs
predicted
based
on
cancer
risks
are
less
restrictive
or
similar
(i.
e.,
within
a
day
or
two
for
commercial
farmworkers)
than
those
predicted
based
on
the
noncancer
effects
of
carbaryl.
In
no
cases
do
cancer
risks
indicate
more
restrictive
REIs
than
for
noncancer
risks
calculated
for
the
corresponding
crop/
activity
exposure
scenario.

Occupational
Risk
Characterization
Characterization
of
the
occupational
risks
is
included
below
for
both
handlers
and
for
postapplication
exposures.

Handlers:
The
occupational
handler
assessment
for
carbaryl
is
complex
in
that
three
different
types
of
noncancer
risk
calculations
were
required
based
on
the
recently
selected
endpoints.
The
durations
of
exposure
that
were
considered
for
noncancer
toxicity
were
short­
term
(
30
days),
intermediate­
term
(30
days
up
to
several
months),
and
chronic
(every
working
day).
A
complete
array
of
calculations
was
completed
for
all
identified
exposure
scenarios
using
the
short­
and
intermediateterm
endpoints
because
the
Agency
believes
that
carbaryl
uses
fit
the
criteria
for
both
of
these
durations.
The
only
calculations
that
were
completed
using
the
chronic
endpoint
were
limited
and
those
associated
with
the
greenhouse
and
floriculture
industries
where
these
kinds
of
exposures
may
occur.
Cancer
risks
were
also
calculated
using
a
linear,
low­
dose
extrapolation
model
(i.
e.,
Q1*)
for
both
private
growers
(i.
e.,
10
application
days
per
year)
and
for
those
who
may
more
actively
use
carbaryl
such
as
a
commercial
applicator
(i.
e.,
30
application
days
per
year).
Cancer
calculations
were
completed
as
well
for
every
scenario
that
has
been
identified
for
both
private
growers
and
commercial
applicators.
For
all
of
the
different
types
of
endpoints
selected
(except
chronic
where
a
limited
number
of
calculations
were
completed),
the
Agency
identified
exposures
that
fit
into
28
different
scenarios
which
are
defined
based
on
the
equipment
used
to
make
applications
or
the
type
of
formulation
used.
Within
each
of
these
categories,
different
application
rates
and
acres
treated
values
were
considered
to
evaluate
the
broad
range
of
applications
that
may
occur
with
each
kind
of
equipment
(e.
g.,
a
groundboom
may
be
used
for
turf
or
agriculture).
All
totaled,
128
different
crop/
rate/
acres
combinations
were
considered
within
the
28
scenarios
for
the
short­
and
intermediate­
term
toxicity
categories
plus
4
chronic
crop/
rate/
acre
combinations.
The
overall
result
is
that
4
sets
of
128
calculations
each
(516
total
calculations)
were
completed
for
occupational
carbaryl
handlers.
Finally,
it
should
be
noted
that
each
calculation
was
completed
at
different
levels
of
personal
protection
to
allow
for
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision.
Even
given
the
scope
of
the
calculations
that
have
already
been
completed,
it
is
likely
that
there
are
some
uses
of
carbaryl
that
have
not
been
quantitatively
addressed
in
this
document
either
through
lack
of
exposure
data
or
other
information
and
because
carbaryl
is
such
a
widely
used
chemical.
These
scenarios
will
be
addressed
by
the
Agency
when
they
are
identified
as
carbaryl
progresses
through
the
reregistration
process.
Readers
are
also
encouraged
to
evaluate
novel
scenarios
by
considering
the
range
of
estimates
already
completed
as
it
is
likely
that
many
uses
could
be
quantitatively
assessed
by
reviewing
those
calculations
as
a
wide
array
of
chemical
use
combinations
and
equipment
types
have
already
been
considered.
103
The
data
that
were
used
in
the
carbaryl
occupational
handler
risk
assessment
represent
the
best
data
and
approaches
that
are
currently
available.
While
some
of
the
data
which
have
been
used
may
not
be
of
optimal
quality,
they
represent
the
best
available
data
for
the
scenario
in
question.
In
many
cases,
the
Pesticide
Handlers
Exposure
Database
(PHED)
was
used
to
develop
the
unit
exposure
values.
The
quality
of
the
data
included
in
PHED
vary
widely
from
scenarios
that
meet
guideline
requirements
for
studies
to
others
where
a
limited
number
of
poor
quality
datapoints
are
available.
The
results
for
each
scenario
should
be
reviewed
in
the
context
of
the
quality
of
these
data.
In
addition
to
PHED,
the
Agency
used
a
number
of
studies
to
define
unit
exposure
values.
Generally,
the
quality
of
these
studies
is
excellent.
Most,
except
for
the
trigger
sprayer
data,
are
very
recent
and
based
on
the
newest
analytical
requirements
and
monitoring
techniques.
PHED
unit
exposure
values
represent
a
central
tendency
of
the
data
(i.
e.,
geometric
mean,
median
or
arithmetic
mean
depending
upon
the
distribution
of
the
data).
As
such,
the
values
based
on
the
recent
studies
also
are
measures
of
central
tendency
(e.
g.,
the
geometric
means
were
selected
from
each
study
for
assessment
purposes
in
most
cases).
Along
with
the
unit
exposure
values
used
in
the
assessment,
other
inputs
include
application
rates
and
daily
acres
treated
values.
Selected
application
rates
represent
a
range
for
each
major
market
in
which
carbaryl
is
used
including
agriculture,
turf
(lawncare,
golf
courses,
etc.),
ornamentals,
and
for
wide
area
applications
such
as
mosquito
control.
Many
application
rates
also
represent
maximum
amounts
that
are
allowed
by
the
label
for
certain
settings.
Where
available,
average
use
rates
were
also
used
to
provide
for
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision.
The
application
rates
that
were
selected
for
use
in
the
risk
assessment
were
defined
based
on
labels,
information
provided
by
the
Aventis
Crop
Science
at
the
September
24,
1998
SMART
Meeting
for
carbaryl,
and
based
on
various
analyses
of
carbaryl
use
patterns
completed
by
the
Agency's
Biological
and
Economic
Analysis
Division.
The
other
key
input
for
completing
handler
risk
assessments
used
for
defining
how
much
chemical
can
be
used
in
a
day
is
how
much
can
be
treated
in
a
day
which
is
generally
expressed
as
the
number
of
acres
treated
per
day.
The
values
that
were
used
for
this
parameter
represent
the
latest
Agency
thinking
on
this
issue.
In
fact,
the
Science
Advisory
Council
For
Exposure
recently
updated
the
policy
for
these
inputs
(July
2000
Exposure
SAC
Policy
9:
Standard
Values
for
Daily
Acres
Treated
in
Agriculture).
These
most
recent
values
have
been
used
for
the
calculations.

In
addition
to
the
key
sources
of
information
considered
above,
there
are
many
underlying
factors
that
may
impact
the
overall
results
of
a
risk
assessment.
For
example,
the
protection
factors
used
for
adding
additional
levels
of
dermal
and
respiratory
protection
may
impact
the
overall
risk
picture.
The
factors
used
in
this
assessment
by
the
Agency
are
the
ones
that
have
been
used
for
several
years.
Other
such
factors
may
include
the
fact
that
average
application
rates
have
been
generally
used
to
represent
typical
application
rates
to
calculate
ranges
of
risks
when
it
is
clear
that
the
two
values
could
differ
greatly.
The
Agency
has
taken
this
approach
because
the
data
required
to
define
typical
application
rates
within
each
crop
are
generally
unavailable.
There
are
also
exposure
monitoring
issues
that
should
be
considered.
For
example,
in
many
cases
the
data
included
in
PHED
are
based
on
the
use
of
cotton
gloves
for
hand
exposure
monitoring
which
are
thought
by
many
to
overestimate
exposure
because
they
potentially
retain
residues
more
than
human
skin
would
over
time
(i.
e.,
they
may
act
like
a
sponge
compared
to
the
actual
hand).
A
similar
issue
was
noted
with
the
carbaryl­
specific
dog
grooming
study
that
used
the
handwash
approach
to
monitor
exposure
after
shampooing
several
dogs.
These
intangible
elements
of
the
risk
assessment
reflect
many
of
the
hidden
uncertainties
associated
with
exposure
data.
The
overall
impacts
of
these
uncertainties
is
hard
to
quantify.
The
factor
to
again
consider
is
that
the
Agency
used
the
best
available
data
to
complete
the
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl.

In
summary,
the
Agency
believes
that
the
risk
values
presented
in
this
occupational
assessment
104
represent
the
highest
quality
results
that
could
be
produced
given
the
exposure,
use,
and
toxicology
data
that
are
available.
Certainly
risk
managers
and
other
interested
parties
should
consider
the
quality
of
individual
inputs
when
interpreting
the
results
and
make
decisions
accordingly.
It
is
difficult
to
ascertain
where
on
a
distribution
the
values
which
have
been
calculated
fall
because
the
distributional
data
for
exposure,
application
rates,
acres
treated
and
many
other
parameters
are
unrefined.
The
Agency
does
believe,
however,
that
the
risks
represent
conservative
estimates
of
exposure
because
maximum
application
rates
are
coupled
with
large
acreage
estimates
to
define
risk
estimates
that
likely
fall
in
the
upper
percentiles
of
the
actual
exposure
distributions.
Additionally,
risk
estimates
are
thought
to
be
conservative
even
when
measures
of
central
tendency
are
combined
because
values
that
would
be
considered
to
be
in
the
lower
percentile
aspect
of
any
input
parameter
have
not
been
used
in
the
calculations.

Postapplication:
Like
the
occupational
handler
risk
assessment
discussed
above,
the
postapplication
worker
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl
is
also
complex
in
that
three
different
types
of
noncancer
risk
calculations
were
required
based
on
the
recently
selected
endpoints
along
with
cancer
risk
calculations
using
a
linear,
low­
dose
extrapolation
model.
For
all
of
the
different
types
of
endpoints
selected
(except
chronic
where
a
limited
number
of
calculations
were
completed),
the
Agency
identified
exposures
that
fit
into
18
different
crop
groups
which
are
defined
essentially
based
on
the
nature
of
the
crop
where
a
work
activity
would
take
place.
Within
each
of
these
crop
groups,
ranges
of
transfer
coefficients
were
considered
to
reflect
differences
in
exposures
that
would
be
associated
with
the
variety
of
cultural
practices
that
are
required
to
produce
the
crop/
product.
All
totaled,
54
different
cultural
practices
were
considered
within
the
18
crop
groups
for
each
toxicity
category.
The
overall
result
is
that
4
sets
of
54
calculations
each
(216
plus
a
few
chronic
values)
were
completed
for
postapplication
workers.
Finally,
it
should
be
noted
that
each
calculation
was
completed
at
different
days
after
application
to
reflect
residue
dissipation
over
time
in
the
environment
and
to
allow
for
a
more
informed
risk
management
decision.
Even
given
the
scope
of
the
calculations
that
have
already
been
completed,
it
is
likely
that
there
are
some
uses
of
carbaryl
that
have
not
been
quantitatively
addressed
in
this
document
either
through
lack
of
exposure
data
or
other
information
and
because
carbaryl
is
such
a
widely
used
chemical.
These
scenarios
will
be
addressed
by
the
Agency
when
they
are
identified
as
carbaryl
progresses
through
the
reregistration
process.
Readers
are
also
encouraged
to
evaluate
novel
scenarios
by
considering
the
range
of
estimates
already
completed
as
it
is
likely
that
many
uses
could
be
quantitatively
assessed
by
reviewing
existing
calculations
as
a
wide
array
of
crop/
activity
combinations
have
already
been
considered.

The
data
that
were
used
in
the
carbaryl
postapplication
worker
risk
assessment
represent
the
best
data
and
approaches
that
are
currently
available.
The
latest
Agency
transfer
coefficient
values
have
been
used
to
complete
this
assessment
including
the
recently
submitted
ARTF
studies
on
greenhouse
workers.
Most
of
the
values
in
the
current
Agency
policy
are
based
on
the
work
of
the
Agricultural
Reentry
Task
Force
(ARTF)
of
which,
Aventis
Crop
Science
is
a
member.
The
current
Agency
policy
is
interim
in
nature
but
represents
all
of
the
data
that
have
been
submitted
by
the
ARTF
and
evaluated
by
the
Agency.
The
work
of
the
ARTF
is
still
ongoing
so
additional
data
may
become
available
to
refine
the
exposure
estimates
as
more
data
are
submitted
to
the
Agency.
Also,
it
is
possible
that
there
are
exposure
scenarios
that
have
not
been
addressed
by
the
Agency
because
the
transfer
coefficient
model
is
not
appropriate
as
there
is
little
or
no
foliar
contact
associated
with
the
activity.
There
are
also
potentially,
partially
mechanized
activities
that
could
lead
to
exposure
where
the
Agency
has
no
information.
These
will
need
to
be
carefully
considered
in
the
reregistration
process.
In
addition
to
the
exposure
inputs
for
specific
activities
(i.
e.,
transfer
coefficients),
the
Agency
used
4
carbaryl­
specific
105
DFR
(Dislodgeable
Foliar
Residue)
dissipation
studies
and
a
single
TTR
(Turf
Transferable
Residue)
study
to
calculate
risks
for
all
postapplication
workers
in
every
region
in
the
country.
It
is
standard
practice
for
the
Agency
to
use
these
kinds
of
studies
in
this
manner
but
it
is
likely
that
additional
cropand
region­
specific
data
could
be
used
to
further
refine
the
risk
assessment.
Several
other
key
pieces
of
data
and
information
were
considered
in
the
development
of
the
postapplication
risk
values
including
use
and
usage
information
and
exposure
frequency
in
the
cancer
risk
assessment.
For
many
agricultural
crops,
the
maximum
application
rate
is
low
(e.
g.,
1.5
to
2
lb
ai/
acre)
in
many
crops.
As
a
result,
postapplication
risks
were
generally
calculated
at
maximum
rate
levels
because
of
the
already
inherent
complexity
of
the
assessment
and
because
it
is
likely
that
results
may
not
be
extremely
sensitive
to
changes
in
this
value.

In
addition
to
the
key
sources
of
information
considered
above,
there
are
many
underlying
factors
that
may
impact
the
overall
results
of
a
risk
assessment.
For
example,
subtle
differences
between
activities
in
similar
crops
within
each
of
the
18
agronomic
groups
considered
in
the
assessment
may
not
be
accurately
reflected
in
the
current
transfer
coefficient
values.
The
use
of
4
DFR
studies
to
represent
all
crops
and
all
regions
within
the
country
could
lead
to
results
that
do
not
reflect
actual
use
practices
and
conditions
in
some
parts
of
the
country.
Additionally,
the
exposure
frequency
values
that
were
used
for
private
growers
and
professional
farmworkers
tend
to
be
supported
by
available
data
but
could
be
refined
if
data
on
work
patterns
and
regional
carbaryl
use
becomes
available.
As
with
the
handler
assessment
above,
the
intangible
elements
reflect
many
of
the
hidden
uncertainties
associated
with
exposure
data.
The
overall
impacts
of
these
uncertainties
is
hard
to
quantify.
The
factor
to
again
consider
is
that
the
Agency
used
the
best
available
data
to
complete
the
risk
assessment
for
carbaryl.

In
summary,
the
Agency
believes
that
the
risk
values
presented
in
this
postapplication
assessment
represent
the
highest
quality
results
that
could
be
produced
given
the
exposure,
use,
and
toxicology
data
that
are
available.
Certainly
risk
managers
and
other
interested
parties
should
consider
the
quality
of
individual
inputs
when
interpreting
the
results
and
make
decisions
accordingly.
It
is
difficult
to
ascertain
where
on
a
distribution
the
values
which
have
been
calculated
fall
because
the
distributional
data
for
exposure,
residue
dissipation
and
many
other
parameters
are
unrefined.
The
Agency
does
believe,
however,
that
the
risks
represent
conservative
estimates
of
exposure
because
maximum
application
rates
are
used
to
define
residue
levels
upon
which
the
risk
calculations
are
based.
Additionally,
risk
estimates
are
thought
to
be
conservative
even
when
measures
of
central
tendency
(e.
g.,
most
transfer
coefficients
are
thought
to
be
central
tendency)
are
used
because
values
that
would
be
considered
to
be
in
the
lower
percentile
aspect
of
any
input
parameter
have
not
been
used
in
the
calculations.

8.0
HUMAN
AND
DOMESTIC
ANIMAL
INCIDENT
DATA
REVIEW
Data
on
incidents
of
adverse
reactions
in
humans
exposed
to
carbaryl
were
evaluated
from
several
sources,
including
OPP's
Incident
Data
System,
Poison
Control
Centers,
California
Department
of
Pesticide
Regulation,
National
Pesticide
Telecommunications
Network
and
the
open
literature.
The
data
from
the
Incident
Data
System
indicated
that
a
majority
of
cases
from
carbaryl
exposure
involved
dermal
reactions.
A
number
of
cases
involved
asthmatics
and
people
who
experienced
hives
and
other
106
allergic
type
reactions.
According
to
California
data,
about
half
of
the
cases
involved
skin
and
eye
effects
in
handlers.
About
a
quarter
of
the
skin
reactions
were
due
to
workers
that
were
exposed
to
residues
on
crops.
Reports
from
the
literature
are
very
limited
but
tend
to
support
the
finding
that
carbaryl
has
irritant
properties.

The
Poison
Control
Center
cases
involving
non­
occupational
adults
and
older
children
showed
an
increased
risk
in
five
of
the
six
measures
reported.
These
cases
were
almost
twice
as
likely
to
require
serious
health
care
(hospitalization
or
treatment
in
a
critical
care
unit)
and
were
two
and
a
half
times
more
likely
to
experience
major
medical
outcome
(life­
threatening
effects
or
significant
residual
disability)
as
compared
to
other
pesticides.
This
pattern
of
increased
risk
was
not
seen
among
occupational
reports
or
in
young
children.
This
may
mean
careless
handling
by
non­
professionals
is
a
particular
hazard.

Five
case
reports
suggested
that
carbaryl
may
be
a
cause
of
chronic
neurological
or
psychological
problems.
Some
of
these
effects
appear
to
be
consistent
with
those
reported
from
organophosphate
poisoning.
However,
unlike
organophosphates,
no
controlled
studies
have
been
undertaken.
If
such
effects
occur
as
a
result
of
over­
exposure
to
carbaryl,
they
appear
to
be
relatively
rare.
The
effects
reported
among
the
five
case
reports
are
too
inconsistent
to
draw
any
conclusions,
but
do
suggest
the
need
for
further
study.

Carbaryl
appears
capable
of
causing
dermal
and
allergic
type
reactions.
Data
support
the
need
for
personal
protective
equipment
and
eye
protection
for
handlers
for
field
workers
who
may
have
extensive
exposure
to
carbaryl.
Labels
for
products
should
advise
that
carbaryl
can
cause
sensitizing
effects
in
some
people.

Based
on
an
evaluation
of
limited
incident
data
on
domestic
animals
in
IDS,
it
is
recommended
that
all
labels
for
carbaryl
products
used
on
cats
contain
the
age
restriction
stated
in
PR
Notice
96­
6
(should
not
be
used
in
kittens
less
than
12
weeks
of
age).

A
detailed
discussion
of
the
incident
data
is
presented
in
Appendix
2.

remains
outstanding.

°
The

is
relying
on

that
are
not
supported
by

therefore,
additional

Residues
of
carbaryl
found
in
leaf
lettuce
were
not

Both
samples
of
lettuce
from
the

had
substantially
higher
residues
(37.01
and
47.22
ppm)
than
one
of
the

treated
with
the

Additionally,
all

above
the
current
tolerance
of
10
ppm
and
all

data
submitted
in
support
of
the

in
lettuce
(<
8.85

No
explanation
for
the

may
elect
to

(6A),
and
for
dried,

However,
additional
residue

are
required
if
the

A
total
of
12

Alternatively,
two
additional

following
application
of
carbaryl
at
the
maximum

rate
and
minimum

derived
from
cotton
treated
at
the
maximum
labeled
rate
and
harvested
28
days
after
the
final
application
using
commercial
equipment
(stripper
and
mechanical
picker).
At
least
three
field
trials
representing
each
type
of
harvesting
(stripper
and
picker)
are
required.

°
The
registrant
does
not
intend
to
support
carbaryl
uses
on
avocados,
barley,
maple
sap,
oats,
rye,
and
sweet
sorghum;
however,
IR­

has
indicated
(Correspondence
from
K.

that
they
may
fulfill
the
residue

requirements
for
some
of
these
commodities.
These

have
not
been
submitted.

°
The
reregistration
requirements
for
magnitude
of
the

are
not
fulfilled.
Additional

Occupational/
Residential
Exposure
Data
Gaps
Residential
Exposure
°
For
the
postapplication
risk
assessments,
there
are
no
data
on
the
amount
of
residues
transferrable
from
treated
pets
to
humans.
Additional
residue
data
on
turf
would
help
refine
the
hand­
to­
mouth
and
object­
to­
mouth
toddler
exposures.

Occupational
Exposure
°
For
the
occupational
handler
risk
assessments,
several
exposure
data
gaps
were
identified,
including:
dust
use
for
animal
grooming
and
in
agriculture;
various
specialized
hand
equipment
application
methods
(e.
g.,
powered
backpack,
power
hand
fogger,
and
tree
injection);
and
nursery
operations
such
as
seedling
dips.
109
°
For
occupational
postapplication
risk
assessments,
several
data
gaps
exist,
such
as
an
incomplete
dislodgeable
foliar
residue
database
and
a
lack
of
exposure
data
on
partially
mechanized
cultural
practices
where
there
is
a
potential
for
exposure.

°
There
are
also
many
kinds
of
mechanized
activities
that
do
not
involve
foliar
contact
that
have
not
been
addressed
in
this
risk
assessment.
The
scenarios
include:
transplanting
many
crops
including
in
the
ornamental
and
forestry
industry;
thinning
some
crops
such
as
hops;
some
partially
mechanized
operations
that
also
involve
human
contact
(e.
g.,
cotton
harvesting
where
module
builders
and
trampers
are
used);
hand
weeding
some
crops
such
as
wheat;
various
operations
with
Christmas
trees
such
as
pruning
or
baling;
and
various
operations
with
nut
production
such
as
sweeping
for
harvest.

APPENDIX

Incident
Review
Conclusions/
Recommendations
Based
on
Incident
Review
Data
on
incidents
of
adverse
reactions
in
humans
exposed
to
carbaryl
were
evaluated
from
several
sources,
including
OPP's
Incident
Data
System,
Poison
Control
Centers,
California
Department
of
Pesticide
Regulation,
National
Pesticide
Telecommunications
Network
and
the
open
literature.
The
data
from
the
Incident
Data
System
indicated
that
a
majority
of
cases
from
carbaryl
exposure
involved
dermal
reactions.
A
number
of
cases
involved
asthmatics
and
people
who
experienced
hives
and
other
allergic
type
reactions.
According
to
California
data,
about
half
of
the
cases
involved
skin
and
eye
effects
in
handlers.
About
a
quarter
of
the
skin
reactions
were
due
to
workers
that
were
exposed
to
residues
on
crops.
Reports
from
the
literature
are
very
limited
but
tend
to
support
the
finding
that
carbaryl
has
irritant
properties.

The
Poison
Control
Center
cases
involving
non­
occupational
adults
and
older
children
showed
an
increased
risk
in
five
of
the
six
measures
reported.
These
cases
were
almost
twice
as
likely
to
require
serious
health
care
(hospitalization
or
treatment
in
a
critical
care
unit)
and
were
two
and
a
half
times
more
likely
to
experience
major
medical
outcome
lifethreatening
effects
or
significant
residual
disability)
as
compared
to
other
pesticides.
This
pattern
of
increased
risk
was
not
seen
among
occupational
reports
or
in
young
children.
This
may
mean
careless
handling
by
non­
professionals
is
a
particular
hazard.

Five
case
reports
suggested
that
carbaryl
may
be
a
cause
of
chronic
neurological
or
psychological
problems.
Some
of
these
effects
appear
to
be
consistent
with
those
reported
from
organophosphate
poisoning.
However,
unlike
organophosphates,
no
controlled
studies
have
been
undertaken.
If
such
effects
occur
as
a
result
of
over­
exposure
to
carbaryl,
they
appear
to
be
relatively
rare.
The
effects
reported
among
the
five
case
reports
are
too
inconsistent
to
draw
any
conclusions,
but
do
suggest
the
need
for
further
study.

Carbaryl
appears
capable
of
causing
dermal
and
allergic
type
reactions.
Data
support
the
need
for
personal
protective
equipment
and
eye
protection
for
handlers
for
field
workers
who
may
have
extensive
exposure
to
carbaryl.
Labels
for
products
should
advise
that
carbaryl
can
cause
sensitizing
effects
in
some
people.

Based
on
an
evaluation
of
limited
incident
data
on
domestic
animals
in
IDS,
it
is
recommended
that
all
labels
for
carbaryl
products
used
on
cats
contain
the
age
restriction
stated
in
PR
Notice
96­
6
(should
not
be
used
in
kittens
less
than
12
weeks
of
age).

A
detailed
discussion
of
the
incident
data
is
presented
below.

Human

A
review
of
the
human
incident

on
carbaryl
was
prepared
by
Dr.
Jerome
Blondell
and
Ms.
Monica
Spann
(D267127
dated
July

2000).

The
following
data
bases
were
consulted
for
the
poisoning
incident

on
the
active
ingredient
Carbaryl
(PC

submitted
to
OPP
since

by
EPA,
OPP
received
Poison

covering
the
years
1993
through

Incident
Data
System
There
were
approximately
500
reports
in
IDS
concerning
exposure
of
humans
to
carbaryl.
At
least
380
cases
were
considered
minor
(minimal
symptoms
with
no
residual
disability)
and
were
not
included
in
the
review.
The
most
frequently
reported
symptoms
were
of
a
dermatological
nature,
either
dermal
irritation
or
possibly
a
dermal
manifestation
of
an
allergic
response
(e.
g.,
hives,
welts,
rash,
etc.).
Clinical
signs
or
symptoms
less
frequently
reported
were
nausea,
vomiting,
diarrhea,
respiratory
irritation
and
difficulty
breathing.
Most
of
the
incidents
were
associated
with
dermal
exposure;
however,
a
few
resulted
after
inhalation
of
the
product.
There
was
one
report
of
an
attempted
suicide.
In
1993,
a
21­
year
old
man
ingested
about
75
ml
of
Beetle
Bait
(21.3%
carbaryl,
Registration
Number
869­
134).
No
information
on
the
symptoms
or
outcome
of
the
case
were
provided.
There
was
also
one
death.
In
1996,
a
woman
with
a
history
of
chronic
asthma
experienced
shock
and
severe
respiratory
distress
after
she
used
Mycodex
Pet
Shampoo
(0.5%
carbaryl,
Registration
Number
2097­
8)
on
her
dog.
She
was
hospitalized
but
went
into
a
coma
and
died
five
days
later
(IDS
3694­
1).

Poison
Control
Center
(PCC)
Data
­
1993
through
1998
The
PCC
data
base
for
1993
through
1998
contained
174
cases
involving
occupational
exposures
in
adults
and
older
children
(outcome
determined
in
90
cases),
3033
nonoccupational
exposures
in
adults
and
older
children
(outcome
determined
in
1351
cases)
and
2147
exposures
in
children
under
the
age
of
six
(outcome
determined
in
1248
cases).
Cases
involving
exposures
to
multiple
products
were
excluded.
The
data
from
cases
in
which
the
outcome
was
determined
were
compared
to
all
other
pesticides
using
six
measures:
percent
with
symptoms,
percent
with
moderate
or
more
severe
outcome,
percent
with
life­
threatening
or
fatal
outcome,
percent
of
exposed
cases
seen
in
a
health
care
facility,
percent
hospitalized
and
percent
seen
in
an
intensive
care
facility.

For
occupational
cases,
carbaryl
appears
to
be
somewhat
less
hazardous
than
all
pesticides
combined,
as
determined
by
five
of
the
six
measures
reported.
Cases
involving
non­
occupational
adults
and
older
children
showed
an
increased
risk
in
five
of
the
six
measures
reported.
In
particular
these
non­
occupational
cases
were
nearly
twice
as
likely
to
require
serious
health
care
(hospitalization
or
treatment
in
a
critical
care
unit)
and
were
2.5
times
more
likely
to
experience
major
medical
outcome
(life­
threatening
effects
or
significant
residual
disability).
These
data
suggest
that
some
consumers
are
using
this
chemical
in
a
careless
manner.
For
cases
involving
children
under
six
years
of
age,
carbaryl
has
a
similar
hazard
profile
to
all
other
pesticides.

California
Data
­
1982
through
1996
Detailed
descriptions
of
226
cases
submitted
to
the
California
Pesticide
Illness
Surveillance
Program
(1982­
1996)
were
reviewed.
In
90
of
these
cases,
carbaryl
was
used
alone
or
was
judged
to
be
responsible
for
the
health
effects.
Only
cases
with
a
definite,
probable
or
possible
relationship
were
reviewed.
Carbaryl
ranked
37
th
as
a
cause
of
systemic
poisoning
in
California.
The
number
of
reports
from
California
declined
by
over
half
from
the
first
five
years
of
the
reporting
period
(1982­
1986)
to
the
last
five
years
(1992­
1996).
It
is
difficult
to
determine
whether
some
of
this
decline
might
be
related
to
a
decrease
in
usage
because
the
method
of
collecting
use
information
changed
after
1989.
Of
the
90
persons
reported
to
have
illnesses,
a
total
of
43
(48%)
had
systemic
illnesses,
20
(22%)
had
eye
irritation,
21
(23%)
had
skin
irritation,
1(
1%)
had
respiratory
illness
and
5
(6%)
had
a
combination
of
effects.
A
total
of
26
workers
were
disabled
(took
time
off
work,
1
for
more
than
10
days)
as
the
result
of
carbaryl
exposure.
Seven
required
hospitalization
(1­
5
days).
Applicators
were
associated
with
the
majority
of
the
exposures.
Clinical
signs/
symptoms
in
these
workers
included
nausea,
vomiting,
skin
rashes,
sore
throat,
lip
swelling,
chemical
conjunctivitis,
dizziness,
eye
irritation,
contact
dermatitis,
blurry
vision,
chest
pains,
and
several
other
symptoms.

National
Pesticide
Telecommunications
Network
On
the
list
of
the
top
200
chemicals
for
which
NPTN
received
calls
from
1984­
1991
inclusively,
carbaryl
was
ranked
5
th
with
503
incidents
in
humans
reported
and
85
incidents
in
animals
(mostly
pets).
For
the
years
1995
through
1998,
carbaryl's
rank
ranged
from
7
th
to
12
th
with
110
incidents
in
humans
reported
and
26
incidents
in
animals.
Most
of
the
decline
in
reported
human
cases
from
the
earlier
time
period
is
due
to
the
reduced
level
of
incident
reporting
overall.
However,
even
taking
this
into
account,
there
does
appear
to
be
some
reduction
in
carbaryl
incidents
which
is
also
reflected
in
the
lower
rankings
reported
for
the
later
years
(1995­
1998).

Two
of
these
cases
involved
attempted
suicides
in
which
large
doses
of
carbaryl­
containing
products
were
ingested.
Some
of
the
effects
from
carbaryl
exposure
are
consistent
with
those
reported
from
organophosphate
poisoning.
However,
no
controlled
studies
have
been
conducted.
If
such
effects
occur
as
a
result
of
carbaryl
overexposure
they
appear
to
be
relatively
rare.
The
effects
observed
in
the
case
reports
are
too
inconsistent
to
draw
any
conclusions,
but
do
suggest
the
need
for
further
study.

Other
literature
articles
concerned
epidemiology
studies
to
evaluate
the
effects
of
pesticides
on
reproduction.
In
the
1979
Ontario
Farm
Family
Study
by
Savitz
et
al
17
,
the
effects
of
activities
and
specific
pesticides
on
male
farmer's
fertility
were
considered.
The
results
suggested
that
thiocarbamates,
carbaryl
and
other
pesticides
were
most
strongly
associated
with
miscarriage.
The
adjusted
odds
ratio
for
carbaryl
used
on
crops
was
2.1
with
a
95
percent
confidence
interval
of
1.1
to
4.1
(borderline
significance).
Use
of
carbaryl
in
the
yard
was
not
associated
with
a
significantly
increased
risk
of
miscarriage
and
carbaryl
was
not
a
significant
risk
factor
for
preterm
delivery
or
small
for
gestational
age
births.
In
a
1979
study
of
male
workers
who
produced
and
packaged
carbaryl,
Whorton
et
al
18
concluded
that
there
was
no
evidence
of
sperm
count
suppression
resulting
from
exposure
to
the
chemical.
Whorton
et
al.
(1979)
and
Wyrobek
et
al
19
(1981)
used
the
same
cohort
in
their
studies
to
determine
the
effects
on
fertility
by
checking
for
infertile
marriages
and
by
measuring
sperm
counts
and
serum
gonadotropins.
The
carbaryl­
exposed
group
included
nearly
three
times
as
many
oligospermic
men
as
the
control
group.
Wyrobek
et
al.
(1981)
concluded
there
was
a
non­
dose
related,
significant
elevation
in
sperm
head
abnormalities
compared
to
controls,
that
may
not
be
reversible.
Both
of
the
studies
had
low
participation
rates,
relied
on
self­
reporting
of
exposure
levels,
and
used
less
than
ideal
control
groups.

reported
on
the
association
between

The
prevalence

asthma
was
significantly
associated
with
the
use
of
carbamate
insecticides
regardless
of
age,
smoking
pack­
years,
and
nasal
allergic
reactions.
The
authors
concluded
that
the
possibility
of
exposure
to
agriculture
chemicals
could
be
related
to
lung
dysfunction
in
exposed
farmers.

Sharma
and
Kaur
(1990)
21
reported
on
30
farmers
that
had
contact
dermatitis
after
using
pesticides
for
several
years.
The
farmers
included
25
males
and
5
females,
between
the
ages
of
28
and
70
years
old.
Patch
testing
was
conducted
on
the
upper
back
and
readings
were
taken
on
the
second,
third,
and
seventh
day.
Allergic
reactions
to
one
or
more
pesticides
were
seen
in
11
patients.
One
patient
was
sensitive
to
carbaryl
and
two
patients
to
3
each
(2,4­
D,
thiram,
carbaryl;
pendimethalin,
methyl
parathion
and
carbofuran).
Carbamates,
including
carbaryl,
were
the
most
frequent
sensitizers.
Allergic
reactions
did
not
occur
in
the
twenty
controls
included
in
the
study.

Unpublished
Epidemiology
Study
Rhone­
Poulenc
submitted
an
epidemiologic
study
of
plant
workers
exposed
to
carbaryl
titled
"Standardized
Mortality
Ratio
Analysis
of
Employees
Exposed
to
Carbaryl
at
the
RhonePoulenc
Institute,
West
Virginia
Plant",
which
was
reviewed
by
Dr.
Jerome
Blondell
(DP
Barcode
D194815).
The
results
were
part
of
a
ten
year
vital
status
update
undertaken
by
the
National
Institute
of
Occupational
Safety
and
Health.
The
study
included
all
individuals
who
were
first
hired
between
1960
(when
the
production
of
carbaryl
started)
and
through
1978.
The
vital
status
of
all
workers
was
determined
through
1988
using
the
National
Death
Index.

A
total
of
522
employees
were
identified
as
belonging
to
either
the
production,
packing/
distribution,
or
maintenance
facilities.
Follow­
up
through
1988
showed
25
deaths,
including
nine
due
to
cancer.
Significantly
less
deaths
(50%)
were
seen
compared
to
the
number
expected.
No
category
of
death
resulted
in
a
statistically
significant
excess.
Those
categories
that
exhibited
an
excess
(greater
than
the
number
of
expected
cases)
were
usually
based
on
a
single
reported
death
with
very
wide
confidence
intervals.
For
brain
cancer,
there
were
two
deaths
(0.5
expected),
but
they
had
different
histologic
origin
which
reduces
the
likelihood
that
they
were
due
to
the
same
exposure.
HED
concluded
that
the
epidemiologic
study
does
not
add
significant
new
information
concerning
adverse
health
effects
of
carbaryl.
The
sample
of
workers
was
too
small
and
the
period
of
follow
up
to
too
short
to
permit
definitive
conclusions.
Domestic
Animal
Incident
Review
The
domestic
animal
incident
review
was
prepared
by
Dr.
Virginia
Dobozy
(D266621
dated
June
12,
2000).
There
are
approximately
69
active
products
containing
carbaryl
with
use
sites
for
dogs
and
cats
in
OPP's
Reference
File
System
(REFS).
The
majority
of
the
products
are
5­
10%
lawn
and
garden
dusts,
which
may
be
registered
for
use
on
animal
bedding
and
thus
are
included
in
the
REFS
search.
Most
of
the
powders
for
intentional
application
to
dogs
and
cats
for
flea
and
tick
control
also
contain
5­
10%
carbaryl,
some
in
combination
with
pyrethrins
and
synergists.
However,
two
products
contain
12.5%
carbaryl
in
combination
with
pyrethrins.
Three
products
contain
carbaryl
(10­
12.5%)
in
combination
with
0.25%
methoxylchlor.
There
is
one
shampoo
which
contains
0.5%
carbaryl,
two
flea
collars
with
either
9.5%
(cats)
or
17%
(dogs)
carbaryl
and
a
dip
for
dogs
with
60%
carbaryl.
In
general,
the
use
of
powders,
dips
and
sprays
for
flea
and
tick
control
in
dogs
and
cats
has
been
replaced
within
the
last
five
years
with
oral
(FDA
regulated)
or
spot­
on
formulations.
As
there
are
no
spot­
on
carbaryl
preparations,
it
can
be
assumed
that
the
use
of
this
chemical
for
flea
and
tick
control
has
declined.

There
are
213
reports
in
IDS
for
carbaryl
for
domestic
animals
from
1991
to
May,
2000.
Only
those
incidents
from
1998
(most
recent
year
with
complete
data)
were
reviewed
in
order
to
provide
an
evaluation
of
current
adverse
reports
in
domestic
animals.
In
1998,
there
were
35
incidents
in
IDS
involving
23
dogs,
9
cats
and
1
pig.
One
incident
involved
two
dogs
and
in
three
incidents,
the
species
was
not
identified.
Only
two
incidents
involved
products
registered
for
use
on
dogs
and
cats.
In
one,
an
8
week­
old
kitten
treated
with
Zodiac
Flea
and
Tick
Powder
for
Dogs
developed
vomiting
and
anorexia
and
died
the
next
day.
In
the
other,
a
dog
was
reported
to
have
had
a
reaction
to
a
shampoo
with
carbaryl;
no
other
data
were
provided.
The
majority
of
the
remaining
incidents
involved
products
containing
a
5%
carbaryl
dust
or
a
molluscicide
which
contains
2%
metaldehyde
and
5%
carbaryl.
A
wide
variety
of
clinical
signs
were
reported.
Most
of
the
incidents
were
evaluated
and
classified
as
to
causality
(doubtful,
low,
moderate
or
high
suspicion)
by
the
ASPCA/
National
Animal
Poison
Control
Center.
All
were
classified
as
doubtful
or
low
suspicion.
A
summary
review
of
incidents
for
a
5%
carbaryl
powder
from
one
registrant,
along
with
the
one
report
from
1998,
provided
some
evidence
that
young
kittens
(<
12
weeks)
may
be
susceptible
to
adverse
reactions
to
carbaryl.
It
is
recommended
that
all
labels
for
carbaryl
products
used
on
cats
contain
the
age
restriction
stated
in
PR
Notice
96­
6
(should
not
be
used
in
kittens
less
than
12
weeks
of
age).
