Pyroxasulfone Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment 

PC Code: 090099 

Executive Summary 

DP Number: 0410009 & 410011 

Pyroxasulfone is proposed for use on wheat and cotton. Unrefined acute and chronic aggregate 

(food and water) assessments were conducted using tolerance level residues adjusted for 

metabolites along with 100 % crop treated (CT). 

The resulting aggregate (food and water) acute exposure estimates were less than RED's level of 

concern (<100% aPAD) for general U.S. population (1.2% aPAD) and all population sub-groups; 

the most highly exposed population subgroup was All Infants <1 year old with 3.6% aPAD at the 

95th percentile. 

The resulting aggregate (food and water) chronic exposure estimates were less than RED's level of 

concern ( < 100% cP AD) for general U.S. population ( 19% cP AD) and all population sub-groups; the 

most highly exposed population subgroup was All Infants <1 year old with 48% cPAD. 

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 RED 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, RED is concerned when estimated dietary risk 

exceeds 100% ofthe PAD. RED is generally concerned when estimated cancer risk exceeds one 

in one million. 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: http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPAPEST/2000/July/Day-12/606l.pdf; or see SOP 99.6 (20-AUG-1999). 

Pyroxasulfone had a previous dietary risk assessment conducted (T. Morton, D406657, 1130/13).

II. Residue Information

The registrant (K-I Chemical, U.S.A. Inc.) has submitted a petition to register pyroxasulfone for use 

on wheat and cotton. DEEM®residue inputs for soybean commodities used tolerance level residue 

values adjusted for additional metabolites which are not in the tolerance expression. The existing 

tolerances are listed in 40 CFR §180.659. 

Soybean, seed 0.06 ppm plus 0.01 ppm for two metabolites not in the tolerance expression

Corn, grain 0.015 ppm plus 0.01 ppm for two metabolites not in the tolerance expression

Tolerances for residues of pyroxasulfone raw agricultural commodities (RACs) will be established as 

follows based on field trial data:

Cotton, undelinted seed 0.06 ppm plus 0.01 ppm for two metabolites not in the tolerance expression

Milk 0.003 ppm plus 0.002 ppm for two metabolites not in the tolerance expression

Wheat, grain 0.03 ppm plus 0.02 ppm for two metabolites not in the tolerance expression

Residues of concern are summarized in the table below (G. Kramer, D379930, 7/30/2010):

tolerance expression and risk assessment as a residue of concern in soybean seed. M-1 is included for soybean 

forage and hay.

III. Drinking Water Data

The drinking water estimates used in the dietary risk assessment were provided by the 

Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED; Memo, J. Hetrick, 1-June-2011; D390221). 

EFED conducted a Tier II PRZM GW drinking water assessment from groundwater sources for 

the proposed new active ingredient. Residues of concern for drinking water for risk assessment 

purposes were parent, M1, and M3. The estimated drinking water residues for peak

concentration (used in the acute assessment) and average (used in the chronic assessment) were

0.210 and 0.174 mg/L (ppm), respectively. 

IV. DEEM-FCID Program and Consumption Information

Pyroxasulfone acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments were conducted using the Dietary 

Exposure Evaluation Model software with the Food Commodity Intake Database DEEMFCIDTM, Version 3.16, which incorporates consumption data from USDA’s National Health and 

Nutrition Examination Survey, What We Eat in America, (NHANES/WWEIA). This dietary 

survey was conducted from 2003 to 2008. The 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 2003-2008 WWEIA 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 50-99 years 

old.

For chronic dietary exposure assessment, an estimate of the residue level in each food or foodform (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 to produce a residue intake estimate. 

The resulting residue intake estimate for each food/food form is summed with the residue intake 

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 tiers of analysis. However, for tiers 1 and 2, any significant 

differences in user vs. per capita exposure and risk are specifically identified and noted in the risk 

assessment.

VI. Results/Discussion

As stated above, for acute and chronic assessments, HED is concerned when dietary risk exceeds 

100% of the PAD. The following summarizes the DEEM-FCID (ver. 3.16) chronic exposure 

analyses.

Acute and chronic aggregate (food + water) analyses were performed using DEEM-FCID

estimating the dietary exposure of the U.S. population and various population subgroups. The 

results are summarized in Table 2. 

The resulting acute food and water exposure estimates were less than HED’s level of concern (-

<100% aPAD) for the general U.S. population and all population sub-groups. The resulting 

chronic food and water exposure estimates were less than HED’s level of concern (<100% 

cPAD) for the general U.S. population and all population sub-groups; All Infants <1 yr old had 

the highest dietary exposure at 48 % cPAD.

VII. Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

HED has conducted a highly conservative, health protective assessment for the new proposed use 

of pyroxasulfone on wheat and cotton. Tolerance level residues along with 100 % CT were used 

in the acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments. In addition, DEEM default processing 

factor of 1.5x was used for corn syrup. Residues do not warrant the need for further refinement 

at this time. 

VIII. Conclusions

Unrefined acute and chronic aggregate (food + water) dietary risk assessments were conducted 

for pyroxasulfone using the DEEM-FCID (ver. 3.16) model using tolerance level residues, 

DEEM default processing factor, and 100 % CT. The resulting acute aggregate exposure 

estimate was less than HED’s level of concern. For the general U.S. population and all 

population subgroups in the acute analysis all dietary exposure estimates were ≤4% aPAD). The 

resulting chronic aggregate exposure estimate was less than HED’s level of concern. For the 

general U.S. population, the cPAD was 19% while the most highly-exposed population 

subgroups in the chronic analysis was All Infants <1 year old (48% cPAD).
