This document provides a revised acute and chronic dietary and drinking
water risk analyses of exposures resulting from use of
acibenzolar-S-methyl as a plant activator on food crops.  This
assessment supports a Section 3 requests for use of acibenzolar-S-methyl
on cucurbit vegetables and bulb onions.  Executive Summary

Acute and chronic dietary risk assessments were conducted for
acibenzolar-S-methyl using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model
(DEEM-FCID, Version 2.03), which uses food consumption data from the
USDA’s Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) from
1994-1996 and 1998.  The analyses were performed to support Section 3
requests for use of acibenzolar-S-methyl on cucurbit vegetables and bulb
onions.

   

Acute Dietary Exposure Results and Characterization

A refined (probabilistic) acute dietary exposure analysis was performed
for the population subgroup females 13-49 only.  No acute endpoint was
identified for the remaining population subgroups.  The acute analysis
assumed a distribution of residues based on field trial data.  DEEM
default and empirical processing factors were used to modify the field
trial data.  Maximum screening-level percent crop treated estimates were
used for commodities for which data were available.  If no percent crop
treated data were available, 100% crop treated was assumed.  The acute
analysis incorporated the 1 in 10 year peak surface drinking water
estimate from application of acibenzolar-S-methyl to cucurbit
vegetables.    SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 The resulting 99.9th percentile acute
exposure estimate for females 13-49 years old is not of concern to HED
(12% acute population adjusted dose (aPAD)).    

Chronic Dietary Exposure Results and Characterization

A conservative chronic dietary exposure analysis was performed for the
general U.S. population and various population subgroups.  Tolerance
level residues and 100 crop treated assumptions were used.  DEEM default
and empirical processing factors were used to modify the tolerance
values.  The chronic analysis incorporated the 10 year average surface
drinking water estimate from application of acibenzolar-S-methyl to
cucurbit vegetables.  The population subgroup females 13-49 had a more
protective chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD, 0.082 mg/kg/day) than
the general U.S. population and all other population subgroups (0.25
mg/kg/day).  Chronic dietary risk estimates are not of concern for
general population or other population subgroups.  The subgroup with the
highest risk estimate was females 13-49 with a cPAD of 5%.  The cPAD for
the general U.S. population was 2%. 

I.	Introduction

Dietary risk assessment incorporates both exposure and toxicity of a
given pesticide.  For acute and chronic assessments, the risk is
expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose (i.e., 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 the Reference Dose (RfD) divided by the
FQPA Safety Factor.

For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, HED is concerned when
estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  References that 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,” 6/21/2000, web link:

II.	Residue Information

Residues of Concern 

The HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC) reviewed lettuce,
tomato, cotton, lemon, poultry, and ruminant metabolism studies and the
environmental fate data.  Table 1 provides a summary of the MARC
decisions regarding residues of concern for acibenzolar-S-methyl. 
(D261037, M. Doherty, 4/26/00)

Established/Recommended Tolerances

Tolerances have been established (40CFR 180.561) for residues of
acibenzolar-S- methyl (benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carbothioic
acid-S-methyl ester) in/on spinach at 1.0 ppm, leafy vegetables (Crop
Group 4, other than spinach, at 0.25 ppm), Brassica (cole) leafy
vegetables (Crop Group 5 at 1.0 ppm), fruiting vegetables (Crop Group 8
at 1.0 ppm), and tomato paste at 3.0 ppm.  There is also an import
tolerance for bananas at 0.1 ppm.  Tolerances have been proposed for the
bulb onion subgroup 3-07A and the curcurbit vegetable crop group 9.  
Tolerances have been established and/or recommended for individual crop
groups based on field trial data for representative commodities in
accordance with HED SOP 2000.1 (9/12/2000).  Recommended tolerances for
the proposed new uses are as follows.  

Onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A 	0.1 ppm

Vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 	2.0 ppm

The tolerance expression for acibenzolar-S-methyl is for residues
convertible to benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid (CGA-210007),
expressed as acibenzolar-S-methyl.  

Residues Used in the Chronic Analysis

In the chronic dietary exposure analysis, tolerance level residues were
used and 100 percent crop treated was assumed for all commodities.  DEEM
default processing factors were used for dried onion, dried banana,
dried plantain, and dried tomato.  A processing factor was not used for
tomato paste because a separate tolerance has been established for this
processed commodity.  In the submitted tomato processing study (D246673,
M. Doherty, 3/15/2000), reported processing factors of 1.0 and 2.9 for
tomato juice and tomato puree were used.    

Available lettuce metabolism data for a 7-day PHI were used to determine
the relative abundance of the hydroxy metabolites (CGA-323060 and
CGA-324041) and residues convertible to the carboxylic acid metabolite
(CGA-210007).  Based on the lettuce metabolism data, a factor of 1.5x
was applied to estimates of acibenzolar-S-methyl residues to account for
all of the residues of concern for dietary risk (including CGA-210007,
CGA-323060 and CGA-324041).  Lettuce metabolism data are provided in
Table 2.

Residues Used in the Acute Analysis

A probabilistic assessment was performed for the acute analysis.  The
acute analysis assumed a distribution of residues based on field trial
data for nonblended and partially blended commodities.  For blended
commodities, the mean field trial values were used as a point estimate.
A value of ½ LOQ was used for samples that contained less than LOQ
residues.  Foods were classified as blended, partially blended, or
nonblended based on guidance given in the Draft DEEM-FCID Classification
of Food Forms with Respect to Blending (F. Fort, 4/9/2003).  DEEM
default processing factors were used for dried onion, dried banana,
dried plantain, and dried tomato.  Empirical processing factors were
used for tomato paste (7.1), tomato puree (2.9), and tomato juice (1.0).
 The acute analysis used available maximum percent crop treated
estimates from the Biological and Economic Analysis Division’s
(BEAD’s) screening-level analysis (D353541, J. Alsadek, 6/18/08).  If
no percent crop treated data were available 100% crop treated was
assumed.  As previously noted, a factor of 1.5X was applied to the
estimate of residues convertible to CGA-210007 for all commodities to
account for all of the residues of concern for dietary risk.  

Residues used in the acute and chronic dietary analyses are provided in
Table 3.

concern for dietary risk.  

III.	Water Data

Drinking water residues were incorporated directly into the acute and
chronic dietary analyses (“water, direct, all sources” and “water,
indirect, all sources”) and were provided by the Environmental Fate
and Effects Division (EFED) (D351609, R. Miller, 8-Aug-2008).  EFED
generated the surface water and ground water estimates using the   SEQ
CHAPTER \h \r 1 Pesticide Root Zone Model 3 (PRZM3; ver. 3.12.2;
2-May-2005)/Exposure Analysis Modeling System (EXAMS; ver. 2.98.04.06;
25-Apr-2005) and Screening Concentration in Ground Water (SCIGROW; Tier
1) models, respectively.  The residues of concern for drinking water
include acibenzolar-S-methyl and residues convertible to CGA-210007. 
EFED provided estimates for the proposed use of acibenzolar-S-methyl on
cucurbits because this use represents the highest use rate of the
proposed registered uses.  The SCI-GROW estimated ground water drinking
water concentrations for acibenzolar-S-methyl is not expected to exceed
4.08 x 10-5 µg/L and CGA 210007 is not expected to exceed 0.557 µg/L. 
Surface water EDWCs for acibenzolar-S-methyl, which were used in the
exposure assessment, are provided in Table 4.

CGA-210007 drinking water residues were included in the dietary exposure
assessment as acibenzolar-S-methyl equivalents.  CGA 210007 residues
were converted based on molecular weight as follows.    

Acute: 210 (acibenzolar-S-methyl MW) ÷ 180 (CGA 210007) x 14.21 (μg/L)
= 17 μg/L CGA 210007 

Chronic: 210 ÷ 180 x 9.48 (μg/L) = 11 μg/L CGA 210007 

IV.	DEEM-FCID™ Program and Consumption Information

Acibenzolar-S-Methyl 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/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 (e.g., 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., 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 tiers of analysis.  However, for tiers 1 and 2,
significant differences in user vs. per capita exposure and risk are
identified and noted in the risk assessment.

V.	Toxicological Information

HED evaluated the toxicology data base for acibenzolar-S-methyl and
selected the following doses and endpoints for acute and chronic dietary
and drinking water risk assessments.

VI.	Results/Discussion

As stated above, for acute and chronic assessments, HED 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 Tables 3 and 4 are for
the general U.S. Population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2,
children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, females 13-49, adults 20-49,
and adults 50+ years.

Results of Acute Dietary Exposure Analysis

The results of the acute dietary exposure analysis at the 99.9th
percentile of exposure are reported in Table 6.

VI.	Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

The chronic dietary analysis is very conservative.  Tolerance level
residues used in the analysis are expected to exceed the residues
actually consumed.  In addition, the 100% crop treated estimate used for
all crops in the assessment will considerably overestimate the actual
percent  crop treated.  

The acute dietary analysis is refined.  The use of field trial data and
BEAD’s maximum

percent crop treated estimates in a probabilistic assessment provided
exposure estimates that are more likely to be representative of actual
exposures.  These estimates could be further refined, however by use of
percent crop treated estimates for the crops for which 100% crop treated
assumptions were made, use of monitoring data, market basket surveys,
washing factors, and cooking factors.  

VII.	Conclusions

A conservative chronic dietary exposure analysis was performed for the
general U.S. population and various population subgroups.  The risk
estimates for the general U.S. population and all population subgroups
are below HED’s level of concern.  The subgroup with the highest risk
estimate was females 13-49 with a cPAD of 5%.  The cPAD for the general
U.S. population was 2%.   A refined probabilistic acute dietary exposure
analysis was performed for the population subgroup Females 13-49.  The
resulting 99.9th percentile acute exposure estimate for females 13-49
years old is not of concern to HED (11% acute population adjustment dose
(aPAD)).   HED is confident that acute and chronic dietary exposures to
acibenzolar-S-methyl are not underestimated.
