C. Aggregate Exposure

1. Dietary exposure— i. Food. For the

purposes of assessing the potential

dietary exposure for all existing and

pending tolerances for lambdacyhalothrin, Zeneca has utilized

available information on anticipated

residues and percent crop treated. For

all existing and pending tolerances the

anticipated residue contribution (ARC)

is estimated at 0.0002682 mg/kg/body

weight (bwt)/day.

ii. Drinking water. Laboratory and

field data have demonstrated that

lambda-cyhalothrin and its degradates

are immobile in soil and will not leach

into groundwater. Other data show that

lambda-cyhalothrin is virtually

insoluble in water and extremely

lipophilic. As a result, Zeneca

concludes that residues reaching surface

waters from field runoff will quickly

adsorb to sediment particles and be

partitioned from the water column.

Zeneca concludes that together these

data indicate that residues are not

expected in drinking water.

2. Non-dietary exposure. Other

potential sources of exposure are from

non-occupational sources such as

structural pest control and ornamental

plant and lawn use of lambdacyhalothrin. Zeneca has no data upon

which to estimate exposure from these

uses. However, given the extremely low

vapor pressure of lambda-cyhalothrin

(1.5 x 10-9 millimeters (mm) of mercury

(Hg)) and the low use rates, it is

anticipated that inhalation and dermal

exposure from these uses Zeneca

concludes will be insignificant.

D. Cumulative Effects

At this time, Zeneca cannot make a

determination based on available and

reliable information that lambdacyhalothrin and other substances that

may have a common mechanism of

toxicity would have cumulative effects.

Thus, Zeneca concludes that for

purposes of this tolerance it is

appropriate only to consider the

potential risks of lambda-cyhalothrin in

an aggregate exposure assessment.

E. Safety Determination

The acceptable reference dose (RfD)

based on a NOEL of 0.1 mg/kg/bwt/day

from the chronic dog study and a safety

factor of 100 is 0.001 mg/kg/bwt/day. A

chronic dietary exposure/risk

assessment has been performed for

lambda-cyhalothrin using the above

RfD. Available information on

anticipated residues and percent crop

treated was incorporated into the

analysis to estimate the ARC. The ARC

is generally considered a more realistic

estimate than an estimate based on

tolerance level residues.

1. U.S. population. The ARC from

established tolerances and the current

and pending actions are estimated to be

0.0002682 mg/kg/bwt/day and utilize

26.82% of the RfD for the U.S.

population.

2. Infants and children. The ARC for

children, aged 1 to 6 years old, and nonnursing infants (subgroups most highly

exposed) utilizes 57% and 65% of the

RfD, respectively. Generally speaking,

the Agency has no cause for concern if

ARC for all published and proposed

tolerances is less than the RfD.

F. International Tolerances

There are no Codex maximum residue

levels (MRL) established for residues of

lambda-cyhalothrin in or on rice.
