The document of April 30, 2013 is revised to include consideration of increased residue 

levels on several crop groups/subgroups that result from harmonization of tolerances with 

Codex MRLs. These harmonizations are part of the crop group/subgroup conversions. 

The changes are as follows: bulb vegetable group 3-07 (3.0~5.0 ppm); fruiting 

vegetables group 8-10 (1.2~3.0 ppm); citrus fruit group 8-10 (1.6~2.0 ppm); caneberry 

subgroup 13-07A (6.0~10.0 ppm); small vine fruit subgroup 13-07F (3.5~5.0 ppm); 

root vegetable subgroup lB (1 0~2.0 ppm). The update from canola, sunflower, and 

cotton seeds to oilseed group 20 includes a revision in the tolerance from 3.5 ppm to 5.0

ppm in order to harmonize with Canada. Also, the proposed turnip greens tolerance ( 18 

ppm) is based on the proposed addition of turnip greens (turnip tops) to crop subgroup 

SB, for which adequate data were previously presented for the representative commodity 

mustard greens. The tolerance proposal of 18.0 ppm is changed to 40.0 ppm in order to 

harmonize with Codex. These are the only changes from the April 30, 2013 Memo. 

Executive Summary 

Acute and chronic dietary (food and drinking water) exposure and risk assessments were 

conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model (DEEM-FCID, Version 3.16), 

which uses 2003 - 2008 food consumption data from the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, What We Eat in 

America, (NHANES/WWEIA). This memorandum was reviewed by two peer reviewers 

of the DESAC per the current DESAC policy. 

The analyses were performed as part of the registration action for boscalid on persimmon, 

Belgium endive, globe artichoke, and crop group/subgroup conversions. The ground 

water segment of the analysis also included new proposed uses on tomato transplants in 

greenhouses for consumers and lathe house use and homeowner uses on fruit trees, nut 

trees, and ornamentals. 

The last dietary risk assessment for boscalid was performed in 2009 for the citrus crop 

group 10, for alfalfa, and for an increase in tolerance for the stone fruit group 12 

(DP#365262, A. Acierto, 11119/2009). That assessment has been updated by new 

estimated percent crop treated data from the Biological and Econmics Analysis Division 

(BEAD), by new drinking water concentration level estimates from the Environmental 

Fate and Effects Division (EFED), and by the addition of new commodities (globe 

artichoke, Belgium endive, persimmon). 

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

Since no observed effects could be attributed to a single dose, an acute endpoint was not 

established. Therefore, an acute dietary exposure assessment was not conducted. 

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

The chronic dietary analysis was performed using tolerance level residues and 100% crop 

treated assumptions. Dietary risk estimates were determined considering exposures from 

food plus drinking water. Boscalid exposure from the existing uses, including tolerance 

modifications to harmonize with Codex, and the proposed new uses on persimmon, 

Belgium endive, and globe artichoke results in estimated risks that are below the 

Agency's level of concern for food plus drinking water. The highest exposure and risk 

estimates for food plus drinking water are 20% of the chronic population adjusted dose 

( cPAD) for the U.S. population and 56% for children 1-2 years old, the most highly 

exposed population subgroup.

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

A cancer dietary assessment was not conducted since boscalid was classified by the 

Cancer Assessment Review Committee (CARC) as “suggestive evidence of 

carcinogenicity” and quantification of human cancer risk is not recommended.

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 point of departure (POD, NOAEL, LOAEL) 

divided by the required uncertainty and safety factors.

For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, HED is concerned when estimated dietary

risk exceeds 100% of the PAD. 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,” 6/21/2000, web 

link:

http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf ; or see SOP 99.6 

(8/20/99).

The most recent dietary risk assessment for boscalid was conducted to support use on the 

citrus fruit group and alfalfa and an increase in the stone fruit group tolerance

(DP#365262, A. Acierto, 11/19/2009). 

II. Residue Information

The Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4) has proposed new uses on globe 

artichoke, Belgium endive, and persimmon. Amendment of Section 3 registration of 

Pristine® (EPA Reg. No. 7969199 is requested. Pristine® is a mixture of pyraclostrobin 

and boscalid. This assessment addresses only boscalid.

IR-4 also requested crop group conversions for bulb vegetable group 3-07, fruiting 

vegetable group 8-10, citrus fruit group 10-10, pome fruit group 11-10, berry subgroups 

13-07A, b, F, and G, and oilseed group 20. These conversions sometimes resulted in 

increased tolerances from harmonization with Codex.

The nature of boscalid residues in primary crops and livestock is considered adequately 

understood, based on the acceptable metabolism studies on lettuce, grapes, beans, goats 

and hens. For purposes of tolerances and dietary risk assessment, the HED, through its 

Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC), has concluded that the residue of

concern in plant commodities is boscalid, and the residues of concern in livestock 
Boscalid Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 410743

PC Code: 128008

Page 4 of 24

commodities include boscalid, its 5-hydroxy metabolite (M510F01), and the glucuronic 

acid conjugate of the 5-hydroxy metabolite (M510F02).

Permanent tolerances have been established under 40 CFR §180.589(a)(1) for the 

fungicide boscalid in plant commodities, ranging from 0.05 ppm in/on coffee, peanuts,

and tuberous and corm vegetables (subgroup 1C) to 60 ppm in/on leafy greens except 

head and leaf lettuce (subgroup 4A). Separate tolerances have also been established for 

indirect or inadvertent residues of boscalid in rotational crops under 40 CFR §180.589(d) 

at levels ranging from 0.05 to 8.0 ppm. Tolerances for livestock commodities have been 

established under 40 CFR §180.589 (a)(2) for the combined residues of boscalid and its 

metabolites 2-chloro-N-(4′-chloro-5-hydroxy-biphenyl-2-yl)nicotinamide and the 

glucuronic acid conjugate of the 5-hydroxy metabolite at levels ranging from 0.02 ppm in 

eggs to 0.35 ppm in the meat byproducts of cattle, goats, horses, and sheep. 

The USDA Pesticide Data Program (PDP) monitored pesticide residues in catfish in 

2008, 2009, and 2010. Over this 3-year period, PDP analyzed 1479 samples of catfish 

forboscalid residues. None of the samples contained detectable residues (lod about 0.006 

ppm). As a result, residues in fish were not included in the assessment. 

The potential for secondary transfer of boscalid residues of concern in meat, milk, 

poultry, and eggs exists because there are several livestock feedstuffs that are associated 

with the existing uses. The proposed uses do not add to the potential for transfer, as the 

new commodities do not include livestock feed items of regulatory interest. A summary 

of the proposed and recommended tolerances for the new uses are listed in Table 1.

Table 1. Tolerance Summary for Boscalid for New Uses

Commodity Proposed Tolerance (ppm) Recommended Tolerance

Residue Data for Chronic Assessment:

The assessment is slightly refined. The chronic dietary exposure and risk assessment is 

based on tolerance-level residues for all commodities. The data used in the 2009 dietary 

assessments were also used in this current analysis except for the addition of tolerances 

for globe artichoke, Belgium endive, and persimmon. BEAD has provided percent crop 

treated information for boscalid (J.Alsadek, BEAD, 03/08/2013). As a refinement, the 

weighted average %CT was incorporated, which is listed as Adjustment Factor 2 in the 

DEEM-FCID R08 file (see Appendix 1). One hundred percent crop treated was assumed 

for commodities with no % CT data. 
Boscalid Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 410743

PC Code: 128008

Page 5 of 24

Crop group conversions included a consideration of harmonization of tolerances with 

Codex MRLs. This resulted in increased tolerances, as follows: bulb vegetable group 3-

07 (3.0→5.0 ppm); fruiting vegetables group 8-10 (1.2→3.0 ppm); citrus fruit group 8-10 

(1.6→2.0 ppm); caneberry subgroup 13-07A (6.0→10.0 ppm); small vine fruit subgroup 

13-07F (3.5→5.0 ppm); root vegetable subgroup 1B (1.0→2.0 ppm). The update from 

canola, sunflower, and cotton seeds to oilseed group 20 includes a revision in the 

tolerance from 3.5 ppm to 5.0 ppm in order to harmonize with Canada. Also, the 

proposed turnip greens tolerance (18 ppm) is based on the proposed addition of turnip 

greens (turnip tops) to crop subgroup 5B, for which adequate data were previously 

presented for the representative commodity mustard greens. The tolerance proposal of 

18.0 ppm is changed to 40.0 ppm in order to harmonize with Codex. These increases in 

tolerances resulted in apparent increases in dietary exposure, because tolerance level 

values were used for the plant commodity entries.

The following average percent crop treated estimates were used in the chronic dietary 

risk assessments for the crops that are currently registered for boscalid: almonds 40%; 

apples 15%; apricots 25%; green beans 5%; blueberries 35%; broccoli <2.5%; cabbage 

5%; caneberries 45%; cantaloupes 5%; carrots 15%; cauliflower 5%; celery <2.5%; 

cherries 45%; cucumbers 5%; dry beans/dry peas <2.5%; garlic 5%; grapes 30%; 

hazelnuts 5%; lettuce 25%; nectarines 15%; onions 20%; peaches 20%; peanuts <1%; 

pears 15%; green peas <1%; peppers <2.5%; pistachios 30%; plums/prunes 5%; potatoes 

20%; pumpkins 10%; squash 5%; strawberries 55%; tomatoes 5%; walnuts <1%; 

watermelons 25%.

A value of 0.5 ppm was used for honey, based on the existing tolerance in the European 

Union.

The analysis includes HED-recommended tolerance level residue values for the herb 

subgroup 19A, although these tolerances were never finalized. The tolerances were 

recommended in connection with PP# 6E7164 and PP#7F7169 (DP 336632, C. Olinger, 

11/27/2007).

No new experimental processing data were incorporated into this analysis. The 

processing factors from earlier dietary assessments were derived as follows. For 

processed commodities where data were available to show no concentration (apple juice, 

dried plum prunes, rice bran, wheat flour, sunflower oil, mint oil, tomato puree, tomato 

juice, soybean oil, and cottonseed oil), the processing factor was set to 1. For processed 

commodities where the raw agricultural commodity (RAC) tolerance is adequate to cover 

the very slight concentration seen in the processing study (wheat germ, wheat bran, and 

tomato paste), the residue was set at the RAC level and the processing factor was reduced 

to 1. For processed commodities with established tolerances (raisin, peanut oil, and

citrus oil), the processed commodity tolerance was used and the processing factor was set 

to 1.0. For all other processed commodities for which data were not available, DEEM 

(version 7.81) processing factors were used (DP# 336633, D. Davis, 12/17/2007).

in the Chronic Residue Input File, Attachment 1. 

III. Drinking Water Data

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

(D409880, K. White, 04/30/2013 revision of 04/17/2013 an of 03/21/2013 and of 

11/27/2012 document) 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.”

The drinking water assessment considered new uses on Belgium endive, globe artichoke, 

and persimmon and new uses on tomatoes in greenhouses and lath houses, and 

homeowner garden spray and ornamental applications. All existing uses were also 

considered.

Surface water estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWC) were determined in 

previous assessments. See Tier I Drinking Water Exposure Assessment for the Section 3 

New Use of Boscalid on Various Agricultural Crops Including Cranberries (White, 2012, 

D405064) for a discussion of modeling and estimating surface water concentrations. The 

EDWCs for boscalid in surface water were calculated using the screening model FIRST 

(FQPA Index Reservoir Screening Tool; v.1.1.1; dated 03/25/08). Screening 

Concentration in Ground Water (SCI-GROW v2.3, Jul. 29, 2003) is a regression model 

used as a screening tool to estimate pesticide concentrations found in groundwater used 

as drinking water. Tier 1 groundwater EDWCs for boscalid were derived with PRZMGW (Pesticide Root Zone Model for Groundwater, version 1.0, August 31, 2012), using 

the GW-GUI (Graphical User Interface, version 1.0, August 31, 2012). PRZM-GW is a 

one-dimensional, finite-difference model that estimates the concentrations of pesticides in 

groundwater. It accounts for pesticide fate in the crop root zone by simulating pesticide 

transport and degradation through the soil profile after a pesticide is applied to an 

agricultural field. PRZM-GW permits the assessment of multiple years of pesticide 

application (up to 100 years) on a single site. Six standard scenarios, each representing a 

different region known to be vulnerable to groundwater contaminations, are available for 

use with PRZM-GW for risk assessment purposes.

The maximum Tier 1 estimated chronic groundwater EDWC is 697 ppb. The maximum 

Tier 1 estimated chronic surface water EDWC is 26.4 ppb. This is based on turf use. The 

cranberry use (Table 2) has been withdrawn by IR-4. The ground water value is higher 

than the surface water value and was therefore used in the assessment. The EFED 

models and their descriptions are available at the EPA internet site: 

http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/. See Table 2.

These are the highest EDWCs for the proposed and relevant previously evaluated use scenarios.

Previously estimated acute and annual average surface water concentrations for turf were 97.3 and 26.4 

μg/L, respectively. Previously estimated groundwater concentrations were 1.7 μg/L (White, 2012, 

D405064). The previously evaluated use on cranberry, which resulted in the highest EDWC for surface 

water, will be excluded from the final label.

IV. DEEM-FCID Program and Consumption Information

Boscalid chronic dietary exposure assessments were conducted using the Dietary 

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

NHANES/WWEIA, 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. However, for acute exposure 

assessment, consumption data 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 a 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 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.

V. Toxicological Information

No new studies have been received and no changes have been made since the last dietary 

risk assessment. The Health Effects Division (HED) Hazard Identification Assessment 

Review Committee (HIARC) evaluated the toxicology database for boscalid and 

established the chronic reference dose on January 23, 2003. The standard uncertainty 

factor of 100 to account for inter- and intra-species variability was applied to all risk 

assessments. The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) safety factor for boscalid 
Boscalid Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 410743

PC Code: 128008

Page 8 of 24

was reduced to 1X since the toxicity database is complete, there is no concern for 

neurotoxicity, there is no evidence of increased pre- or post-natal susceptibility, and 

exposure estimates are not expected to underestimate risk. 

The toxicological endpoints selected by HED/HIARC for dietary exposure are 

summarized in Table 3.

VI. Results/Discussion 

As stated above, for 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 Table 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 50-99 years. 

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

The chronic dietary (food and drinking water) exposure analysis is a slightly refined 

assessment. The only refinement is the use of percent crop treated (% CT) for some 

crops. Tolerance values were used for all raw agricultural commodities (RACs). Based 

on the assumptions described above in sections II and III, the chronic dietary exposure of 

the general U.S. population and all population subgroups are below the Agency’s level of 
Boscalid Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 410743

concern (i.e., <100% of the cPAD of 0.218 mg/kg). The chronic dietary (food and 

drinking water) exposure estimates are 20% of the cPAD for the general U.S. population

and 56% of the cPAD for children 1-2 years old, the most highly exposed population 

subgroup. The results of the dietary exposure and risk estimates are summarized below 

(Table 4).

VII. Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

The chronic dietary exposure analysis is slightly refined. For some crops percent crop

(%CT) treated data were utilized. Dietary estimates could be further refined through the 

use of average field trial data and survey data. However, since estimated exposures and 

risks using conservative assumptions are well below the Agency’s level of concern, such 

additional refinement is not necessary.

VIII. Conclusions

Chronic dietary exposure analysis using DEEM-FCID indicates that chronic dietary 

exposure to the residues of boscalid from food and drinking water are well below HED’s 

level of concern. The estimated chronic dietary exposure is 20% of the cPAD for the
