1 A. PREPARATION OF THE DATA ADEQUACY ASSESSMENTS

A

- 1. Source material used for assessment

For this unsponsored chemical, a comprehensive literature search was performed to

identify available toxicity data for the following SIDS endpoints:

Acute toxicity to fish

Acute toxicity to Daphnia

Toxicity to aquatic plants

Acute (oral, inhalation , dermal ) toxicity

Repeated

- dose toxicity

Reproductive toxicity

Developmental toxicity

Gene mutation

Chromosomal aberrations

Studies relevant to non

- SIDS endpoints (e.g., eye and skin irritation; neurotoxicity) conducted

via oral, inhalation, or dermal routes were also identified through literature searching.

The following sources were searched for toxicity data:

PubMed

- B ib liographic database that contains references to journal articles in the life

sciences with a concentration on biomedicine

T OXNET

- N ational L ibrary of M edicine databases on toxicology, hazardous chemicals,

environmental health, and toxic releases; include s:

**•** TOXLINE with BIOSIS and NTIS ;

**•** Development and Reproductive Toxicology File (DART) ;

**•** Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System (CCRIS)

- Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity test results for over 8000

chemicals) ;

**•** Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

- Comprehensive, peer

reviewed toxicology data for about 5000 chemicals ;

**•** Genetic Toxicology Data Bank (GENE

- TOX)

- Peer

- reviewed genetic

toxicology test data for over 3000 chemicals.

- U npublished technical reports submitted by industry to the EPA under the

Toxic Substances Control Act

- source of IUCLID Datasets

Any available IUCLID Datasets found through the ESIS website and robust summaries

submitted to EPA by former sponsors on the assigned chemicals were retrieved. Original

sources were obtained for any rele vant toxicity data found for the assigned chemicals.

While IUCLID D ataset s sometimes contained studies of interest, certain study

descriptions contained insufficient detail to assess adequacy. In these cases, the primary source

of the study, if availab le and accessible, was obtain ed and review ed.

A

- 2. Evaluating data adequacy

Using standard OECD testing guidelines and professional judgment as guides, available

toxicity studies for the unsponsored chemical were reviewed for adequacy. Summaries wer e

prepared for all relevant data found, even if little or no study detail was available. Each study

was summarized according to a standard format and assigned a Klimisch reliability code; all

study summaries for the chemical were combined into a single sum mary document. For studies

already assigned Klimisch codes (e.g., studies summarized in IUCLID datasets), an explanation

was provided if the reviewer’s assessment of data adequacy differed from the pre

- assigned

Klimisch code. A table summarizing data ava ilability/adequacy for each SIDS endpoint is

included at the end of the summary document.

B. SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THE AVAILABLE TOXICITY DATA

The available data for each of the SIDS toxicity endpoints are evaluated on the following

pages. Studie s for a common endpoint are grouped together in the document and an endpoint

adequacy assessment is provided near the top of the first page of the summaries for that

endpoint. If the data available for the endpoint is determined to be inadequate, a basis for that

conclusion is supplied. NOTE: If no relevant studies were identified for the chemical , only the

data availability/adequacy summary table was completed for the report
