Executive Summary

Acute and chronic aggregate dietary (food and drinking water) exposure
and risk assessments were conducted using the Dietary Exposure
Evaluation Model DEEM-FCID™, Version 2.03 which uses food consumption
data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Continuing Surveys of
Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) from 1994-1996 and 1998.  The
analyses were performed to support Section 3 requests for uses on
rhubarb, caneberry subgroup (13-07A), and bushberry subgroup (13-07B). 
Dichlobenil is listed as a possible human carcinogen and an RfD approach
should be used for quantification of human cancer risk.  The
quantification of cancer risk using the RfD approach is identical to the
assessment for chronic effects; no separate carcinogenic risk assessment
is necessary. 

The tolerance expression for dichlobenil includes dichlobenil (parent)
and the major metabolite, 2,6-dichlorobenzamide (BAM).  BAM is a
metabolite of two chemicals, fluopicolide and dichlobenil.  BAM and
dichlobenil have been assessed with different toxicological endpoints. 
Residues from drinking water have also been assessed separately for
dichlobenil (parent only) and BAM.  Therefore, this dietary assessment
will refer to dichlobenil (parent only) unless otherwise indicated.  A
separate assessment (DP Num: 340366, N. Dodd, 21/NOV/2007) has been
conducted for the major metabolite, BAM, and was updated (DP Num:
349722, S. Piper, 19/MAR/2008) to include all of the requested berry
commodities.  

Acute Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Results and
Characterization

The acute exposure analysis was performed using the following
assumptions.  As no dichlobenil residues were reported above the lowest
level of method validation (LLMV) on raw agricultural commodities (RACs)
in the submitted studies, these assumptions will result in conservative
estimates of dietary exposure and risk:

Dichlobenil contributions to the recommended or established tolerance
(tolerance level residues minus maximum BAM residues) were used in the
dietary analysis for all existing and proposed RACs (see Table 1);

DEEM 7.81 default processing factors for all processed commodities;

100% crop treated (CT); and

0.298 ppm for the dichlobenil acute estimated drinking water
concentration (EDWC) (DP Num: 322919; J. Angier; 01/NOV/2005).

An acute endpoint was selected for only one population subgroup, females
13-49 years.  Typically, the Agency has concerns regarding dietary risk
when the estimates exceed 100% of the acute population-adjusted dose
(aPAD).  This subgroup had a risk estimate below the Agency’s level of
concern utilizing 33% of the aPAD at the 95th percentile of exposure.

Chronic Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Results and
Characterization

The chronic exposure analysis was performed using the following
assumptions.  As discussed above, these assumptions will result in
conservative estimates of dietary exposure and risk:

Dichlobenil contributions to the established or recommended tolerance
(tolerance level residues minus maximum BAM residues) were used in the
dietary analysis for all existing and proposed RACs (see Table 1);

DEEM 7.81 default processing factors for all processed commodities;

100% crop treated (CT); and

0.0046 ppm for the dichlobenil chronic EDWC (DP Num: 322919; J. Angier;
01/NOV/2005).  

Typically, the Agency has concerns regarding dietary risk when the
estimates exceed 100% of the chronic population-adjusted dose (cPAD). 
The dietary risk for the general U.S. population and all population
subgroups were not of concern to the Agency.  The most highly exposed
population subgroup (children 1-2 years) utilizes 30% of the cPAD.  The
general U.S. population utilizes 5% of the cPAD. 

I.  Introduction

Dietary risk assessment incorporates both exposure and toxicity of a
given pesticide.  For both acute and chronic assessments, the risk is
expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose (the dose which
HED has concluded will result in no unreasonable adverse health
effects).  This dose is referred to as the population adjusted dose
(PAD).  The PAD is equivalent to point of departure (POD, NOAEL, LOAEL,
e.g.) divided by the required uncertainty or safety factors.

For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, the Agency is concerned when
estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  The Agency is generally
concerned when estimated cancer risk exceeds one in one million (the
risk exceeds 1 x 10-6).  References which discuss the acute and chronic
risk assessments in more detail are available on the EPA/pesticides web
site:  “Available Information on Assessing Exposure from Pesticides, A
User’s Guide,” 21-JUN-2000, web link:      HYPERLINK
"http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf" 
http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf  ; or see
SOP 99.6 (20-AUG-1999).  

The most recent dietary risk assessment for dichlobenil was addressed in
the revised HED chapter of the Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED)
(July 31, 1996; K. Boyle; Dietary Risk Evaluation System (DRES)).  

II.	Residue Information



Tolerances are established for residues of the herbicide dichlobenil and
BAM in/on various plant commodities, at levels ranging from 0.1 to 0.5
ppm (as listed in 40CFR §180.231[a]).  In conjunction with the proposed
uses, ARIA has recommended in favor of establishing tolerances on
rhubarb, caneberries and bushberries (DP Num: 315266, W. Cutchin,
22/FEB/2006; DP Num: 349398, D. Rate, 12/MAR/2008).  Existing and
recommended tolerances for dichlobenil are listed in Table 1.

Table 1.  Summary of Tolerances and Residue Contribution for Dietary
Analysis from Dichlobenil and BAM.

Commodity	Tolerance (Existing/ Recommended)	Contribution from BAM1
(Dietary Risk)	Contribution from Dichlobenil2 (Dietary Risk)

Apples	0.5	 0.271	 0.229

Cranberry	0.1	0.03	0.07

Grapes	 0.15	0.09	0.06

Fruit, stone, Crop Group 12	 0.53	0.46	0.04

Filbert	0.1	0.02	0.08

Pear	0.5	 0.271	 0.229

Rhubarb	 0.06	0.01	0.05

Caneberry, Subgroup 13-07A	0.1	0.01	0.09

Bushberry, Subgroup 13-07B	 0.15	0.06	0.09

1  The BAM contribution to tolerance in Table 1 is based on maximum
residues from field trial data following the application of dichlobenil
(DP Num: 340366, N. Dodd, 21/NOV/2007; DP Num: 439722, S. Piper,
19/MAR/2008).

2  Dichlobenil contribution to tolerance is calculated by subtracting
the BAM contribution from the existing or recommended tolerance.

3  Although the current established tolerance remains at 0.15 ppm, HED
recommended a tolerance of 0.5 ppm to cover stone fruit crop group based
on limited studies submitted on plums (July 31, 1996; K. Boyle; Dietary
Risk Evaluation System (DRES) )(MRID No. 42452804 and 42452801).

Both the acute and chronic dietary analyses used calculated contribution
values from the dichlobenil contribution column (Table 1) for all
represented commodities.  Previously, residue data from field trials
conducted to support the existing registrations show that, generally,
residues of dichlobenil and metabolites are low, and the use of default
processing factors in the analysis is considered conservative and will
overestimate dietary exposure.  

III.	Drinking Water Data

The EDWCs for dichlobenil residues used in this dietary risk assessment
were obtained from the Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) in
the following memorandum: Drinking Water Assessment for New Use of
Dichlobenil on Rhubarb (DP Num: 322919; J. Angier; 01/NOV/2005) and
incorporated directly into this dietary assessment.  

Water residues were incorporated in the DEEM-FCID into the food
categories “water, direct, all sources” and “water, indirect, all
sources.”  Dichlobenil is predicted to volatilize from most surface
waters; therefore, its persistence in the surface water environment will
depend primarily on the environmental factors which control volatility
rates (temperature, wind speed, humidity, etc.).  The EDWCs for
dichlobenil residues used in the acute and the chronic dietary analyses
were 0.298 ppm and 0.0046 ppm, respectively, the concentration estimated
by the Pesticide Root Zone Mode/Exposure Analysis Modeling System
(PRZM/EXAMS) models.  PRZM/EXAMS is an empirical model for predicting
pesticide levels in surface water; the values from PRZM/EXAMS are
considered conservative.  Table 2 summarizes the drinking water
concentrations of dichlbenil provided by EFED.  The model and its
description are available at the EPA internet site:   HYPERLINK
"http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/" 
http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/ .

FL turf	298.3 ppb	4.615 ppb	1.145 ppb

PA turf	78.5 ppb	2.907 ppb	1.159 ppb



IV.	DEEM-FCID( Program and Consumption Information

Dichlobenil acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments were
conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with the
Food Commodity Intake Database DEEM-FCID™, Version 2.03 which
incorporates consumption data from USDA’s Continuing Surveys of Food
Intakes by Individuals (CSFII), 1994-1996 and 1998.  The 1994-96, 98
data are based on the reported consumption of more than 20,000
individuals over two non-consecutive survey days.  Foods “as
consumed” (e.g., apple pie) are linked to EPA-defined food commodities
(e.g. apples, peeled fruit - cooked; fresh or N/S; baked; or wheat flour
- cooked; fresh or N/S, baked) using publicly available recipe
translation files developed jointly by USDA/Agricultural Research
Service (ARS) and EPA.  For chronic exposure assessment, consumption
data are averaged for the entire U.S. population and within population
subgroups, but for acute exposure assessment are retained as individual
consumption events.  Based on analysis of the 1994-96, 98 CSFII
consumption data, which took into account dietary patterns and survey
respondents, HED concluded that it is most appropriate to report risk
for the following population subgroups: the general U.S. population, all
infants (<1 year old), children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth
13-19, adults 20-49, females 13-49, and adults 50+ years old.

For chronic dietary exposure assessment, an estimate of the residue
level in each food or food form (such as orange or orange juice) on the
food commodity residue list is multiplied by the average daily
consumption estimate for that food/food form.  The resulting residue
consumption estimate for each food/food form is summed with the residue
consumption estimates for all other food/food forms on the commodity
residue list to arrive at the total average estimated exposure. 
Exposure is expressed in mg/kg body weight/day and as a percent of the
cPAD.  This procedure is performed for each population subgroup.  

For acute exposure assessments, individual one-day food consumption data
are used on an individual-by-individual basis.  The reported consumption
amounts of each food item can be multiplied by a residue point estimate
and summed to obtain a total daily pesticide exposure for a
deterministic exposure assessment, or “matched” in multiple random
pairings with residue values and then summed in a probabilistic
assessment.  The resulting distribution of exposures is expressed as a
percentage of the aPAD on both a user (i.e., only those who reported
eating relevant commodities/food forms) and a per-capita (i.e., those
who reported eating the relevant commodities as well as those who did
not) basis.  In accordance with HED policy, per capita exposure and risk
are reported for all levels of analysis.  Any significant differences in
user vs. per capita exposure and risk are specifically identified and
noted in the risk assessment.

V.	Toxicological Information

The findings of the dichlobenil risk assessment team, relative to
dietary exposure, are summarized in Table 3 (below) (R. Mitkus, updated
24/AUG/2007).

HED determined that the 10X FQPA SF be retained for prechronic oral
exposure scenarios.  This is due to the incompleteness of the database
with regard to the potential of dichlobenil to induce olfactory toxicity
following prechronic oral exposure.

VI.	Results/Discussion

As discussed above, for acute or chronic dietary assessments, the Agency
is concerned when dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  The DEEM-FCID(
analyses estimate the dietary exposure of the U.S. population and
various population subgroups.  The results reported in Table 3 (below)
are for the general U.S. population (total), all infants <1, children
1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youths 13-19, females 13-49, adults
20-49, and adults 50+ years for chronic exposure and females 13-49 years
for acute exposure.  

Results of Acute Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Analysis

The analyses summarized in Tables 4 (below) are based on residue levels
contributed by dichlobenil (Table 1) in all RACs (modified by DEEM(
processing factors, Version 7.81, for processed commodities), and 100%
CT assumptions.  With these assumptions utilized, the risk estimates are
below the Agency’s level of concern.  The only population subgroup
analyzed for acute exposure is females 13-49 years.  Females 13-49 years
have an exposure estimate of 0.014744 mg/kg/day at the 95th percentile,
and utilize 33% of the aPAD.

Results of Chronic Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Analysis

The analyses summarized in Table 4 (below) are based on residue levels
contributed by dichlobenil (Table 1) in all RACs (modified by DEEM(
processing factors, Version 7.81, for processed commodities), and 100%
CT assumptions.  With the assumptions utilized, the risk estimates are
well below the Agency’s level of concern.  The most highly exposed
population subgroup is children 1-2 years.  In the analysis, children
1-2 years have an exposure estimate of 0.003000 and utilize 30% of the
cPAD.

Results of Cancer Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Analysis

Dichlobenil is classified as “Group C, possible human carcinogen”
with the RfD approach utilized for quantification of human risk.  The
quantification of cancer risk using the RfD approach is identical to the
assessment for chronic effects; no separate carcinogenic risk assessment
is necessary. 

VII.	Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

Conservative acute and chronic dietary (food and drinking water)
exposure assessments were conducted.  Tolerance level residues and/or
residues contributed by dichlobenil (see Table 1) were used in both
analyses.  Default processing factors (DEEM( version 7.81) were used for
processed commodities.  The assessment assumed 100% of the crops were
treated.  Although not needed at this time, the exposure and risk
estimates could be refined with the following information: 1) projected
market share/percent crop treated data; and 2) anticipated residue data.

VIII.	Conclusions

Acute and chronic dietary (food and drinking water) exposure assessments
were conducted for the proposed uses on rhubarb, caneberry (subgroup
13-07A) and bushberry (subgroup 13-07B).  A conservative assessment was
conducted based on dichlobenil contribution to tolerance level residues
(Table 1), default processing factors and 100% CT.

The acute dietary (food and drinking water) exposure to dichlobenil is
below the Agency’s level of concern for females 13-49 years.  The
acute dietary exposure estimate is 33% of the aPAD.

The chronic dietary (food and drinking water) exposure to dichlobenil is
below the Agency’s level of concern for the general U.S. population
and all population subgroups.  The chronic dietary exposure estimates
are 5% cPAD for the general U.S. population and 30% cPAD for children
1-2 years old, the most highly exposed subgroup.
