I. CONCLUSION 

In general, a moderately large number of incidents were identified involving cyfluthrins. 

Incidents were of low, moderate and high severity; the most frequently reported symptoms were 

related to the dermal, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, and ocular systems. The 

majority of cases were exposed at home while applying the product indoors or outdoors; 

however there were cases that occurred in an occupational setting, while mixing, loading, 

applying, or reentering the treated fields, as well as inadvertent exposure (bystanders). Based 

upon the frequency and severity of incidents reported for cyfluthrins, the evaluation warrants 

further analysis in the preliminary risk assessment phase of registration review. 

II. ACTION REQUESTED 

This review is intended to fulfill our requirement to docket summaries of incident data that were 

reported to the Agency, as well as to ensure human incident data, and the Agricultural Health 

Study are part of the problem formulation phase of registration review. Reports of adverse health 

effects allegedly due to a specific pesticide exposure (i.e., an “incident”) are largely self-reported 

and therefore, generally speaking, neither exposure to a pesticide or reported symptom (or the 

connection between the two) is validated. Typically, causation cannot be determined based on 

incident data. However, incident information can be an important feedback loop to the Agency – 

incidents of severe outcome, or a suggested pattern or trend among less severe incidents can 

signal the Agency to further investigate a particular chemical or product. Observational 

epidemiology studies relate the risk of disease, e.g., cancer, and exposure to an agent such as a 

pesticide product in the general population or specific sub-groups like pesticide applicators. 

III. BACKGROUND 

For this evaluation, both the OPP Incident Data System (IDS) and the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (CDC/NIOSH) 

Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risk-Pesticides (SENSOR) database were 

consulted for pesticide incident data on the active ingredient cyfluthrins (PC Code 118831 and 

128831). Additionally, the Agency is looking to include findings from the Agricultural Health 

Study (AHS), beginning with the problem formulation phase of registration review. The purpose 

of the database searches is to identify potential patterns on the extent and severity of the health 

effects attributed to cyfluthrins exposure. The IDS includes reports of alleged human health 

incidents from various sources, including mandatory Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 6 (a) (2) reports from registrants, other federal and state health 

and environmental agencies and individual consumers. Since 1992, OPP compiles these reports 

in IDS. IDS contain reports from across the U.S. and most incidents have all relevant product 

information recorded. Reports submitted to the IDS represent anecdotal reports or allegations 

only, unless otherwise stated in the report. The NIOSH SENSOR database covers 12 states from 

1998-2006, although reporting varies from state to state (the database includes a total of 10,659 

cases). Pesticide-related incidents are collected from Department of Labor workers’ 

compensation claims when reported by physicians, reports from State Departments of 

Agriculture, from poison control centers and from State Departments of Health based on reports 

by physicians suspecting pesticide exposure. Although both occupational and non-occupational 

Page 2 of 33 
incidents are included in the database, SENSOR focuses on occupational pesticide incidents, and 

is of particular value in providing that information. A state SENSOR contact specialist does 

follow-up with workers and obtains medical records to verify symptoms, circumstances 

surrounding the exposure, severity, and outcome. Using standardized protocol and case 

definitions, derived from poison center reporting, SENSOR coordinators at State Departments of 

Health enter the incident interview description provided by the worker, medical report, physician 

and patient into the SENSOR data system, accessible to participating states and EPA. The AHS 

is a high quality, prospective epidemiology study evaluating the link between pesticide use and 

various health outcomes including cancer. The AHS includes private and commercial pesticide 

applicators and their spouses. If there are AHS findings relevant to a particular pesticide going 

through registration review, the Agency will ensure they are considered in the problem 

formulation/scoping phase of the process and, if appropriate, fully reviewed in the risk 

assessment phase of the process. The AHS includes information on use of 50 different pesticide 

active ingredients commonly used in agriculture. 

IV. RESULTS/DISCUSSION 

In the IDS, we identified 112 case reports allegedly attributable to cyfluthrin (PC Code 118831) 

from 2002 till 2009. The incident trend appears to be increasing (Figure. 1). As part of this 

screening level exercise, we reviewed the 61 incidents that occurred during the last three years 

(2007, 2008 and 2009, excluding lawsuits, suicides and incidents outside of the U.S). Among the 

incidents included in this screening level review, fifty-nine percent of cases were female. All 

incidents were classified as HC (moderate). Based on the written content of each summarized 

case-report, symptoms included dermal (27%), respiratory (27%), neurological (16%), 

gastrointestinal (15%), ocular (10%), cardiovascular (3%) and miscellaneous, such as fever, joint 

pain (3%). Note that a patient could exhibit multiple symptoms. Reported neurological effects 

were: dizziness, headache, tingling and numbness sensation, muscle twitching, lethargy, and loss 

of consciousness. Dermal effects included symptoms such as rash, hives, blisters, and itchiness. 

Respiratory effects include symptoms such as: coughing, nasal and throat irritation, shortness of 

breath, asthma, respiratory distress, difficulty in breathing, and chest pain. Most of the 

gastrointestinal symptoms were nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Ocular 

symptoms were redness, pain and swelling of eyes, itchy watery eyes, and blurred vision. Few 

cases presented with cardiovascular symptoms such as, high blood pressure, and irregular heart 

beat.

Incidents

For cyfluthrin (PC Code 128831), we identified 274 case reports allegedly attributable to this 

chemical from 2002 until 2009. The incidents appear to be decreasing over time, particularly 

between 2007-09, the time period of this screening level analysis (Figure 2). The number of 

incidents more recently (2007-09) is approximately 1/3 of the number reported in 2002. As part 

of this screening level exercise, we reviewed 31 incidents that occurred during the last three 

years (2007, 2008 and 2009, excluding lawsuits, suicides and incidents outside of the U.S.). The 

majority of incidents (95%) were classified as HC (moderate) with 3% of HB (major). There was 

a fatal case likely due to underlying chronic lung condition, and using mixed products inside and 

outside the home at the same time with the windows closed. Based on written content of each 

summarized case-report, symptoms included dermal (33%), respiratory (21%), neurological 

(19%), gastrointestinal (10%), ocular (10%), hematological system (2%), genitourinary (2%), 

and miscellaneous (3%). Note that a patient could exhibit multiple symptoms. Cyfluthrin 

incidents occurred both indoors and outdoors, and as a result of applying a product or being 

exposed after application. Many incidents appeared to occur due to misuse such as, failure to 

read label, failure to use protective clothing and mask, lack of awareness of adverse effects, 

overuse of a product, failure to ventilate, or a leak/spill resulting in direct contact.

Incidents

In the NIOSH SENSOR database, there are 288 cases reported for cyfluthrins from 1998 to 

2006. Of these cases, 113 were reviewed because, in these cases, cyfluthrins (PC codes 128831 

and/or 118831) was used as a single chemical only and the certainty classifications were 

identified as probable, possible or definite. There were no fatalities; 2 of the cases were 

classified as high severity, 14 of the cases were classified as moderate severity and 97 of the 

cases were classified as low severity. Eleven of the cyfluthrin cases were to children six years 

old or younger (all low severity). The health effects reported include: dermal (44%), respiratory 

(42%), neurological (39%), gastrointestinal (37%), ocular (36%), and cardiovascular (7%). It is 

noted that an individual may report multiple symptoms to the database. 

There were 54 cases of cyfluthrins exposures that occurred at home (indoor or outdoor), or while 

performing a job that was not related to pesticide application. Of these cases twenty seven cases 

were pesticide misuse or accidentally spilling, splashing, contacting; six occurred during 

homeowner application to yard or in the home; and twenty one were cases of post-application 

exposure. The health effects most often reported for these cases include: respiratory (50%), 

dermal (44%) neurological (41%), ocular (35%), and gastrointestinal (33%). 

There were 26 cases of cyfluthrins exposure in an occupational handler setting while mixing, 

loading, and/or applying. Thirteen of these incidents appear to be caused by misuse, product 

spilling or splashing, or equipment malfunction. The health effects most often reported for these 

cases include: dermal (70%) and ocular (35%). 

Page 5 of 33 
Four cases involved post- application, farm workers reentering fields treated with cyfluthrins. 

The health effects most often reported for these cases include: gastrointestinal (100%), ocular 

(75%) and neurological (75%). 

Ten cases involved bystander exposure to cyfluthrins. The health effects reported include: 

neurological (60%), gastrointestinal (60%), respiratory (60%), dermal (50%), and ocular (50%). 

There were 4 cases of intentional ingestion of cyfluthrins. The health effects most often reported 

in these cases were neurological (75%) and gastrointestinal (75%) symptoms. In addition, 15 

cases with unknown details.

Incident Counts

Cyfluthrins is included in the Agriculture Health Study (AHS), however no studies reflecting 

cyfluthrins exposure have been published as this time. Therefore cyfluthrins was not considered 

in this report. 

In general, a moderately large number of incidents were identified involving cyfluthrin. 

Incidents were of low, moderate and high severity; the most frequently reported symptoms were 

related to the dermal, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, and ocular systems. The 

majority of cases were exposed at home while applying the product indoors or outdoors; 

however there were cases that occurred in an occupational setting, while mixing, loading, 

applying, or reentering the treated fields, as well as inadvertent exposure (bystanders). Based

upon the frequency and severity of incidents reported for cyfluthrins, the evaluation warrants 

further analysis in the preliminary risk assessment phase of registration review.
