# 1. Introduction

1 .1. Purpose

2,4

- D is an herbicide in the phenoxy or phenoxyacetic acid family that is used postemergence for

selective control of broadleaf weeds

. The purpose of the Problem Formulation is to broadly review the registered uses of 2,4

- D acid, salts, amines, and esters, a nd identify potentially complete environmental exposure pathways that will be assessed during the comprehensive Registration Review process. This document specifically addresses the following ten forms of 2,4

- D: 2,4

- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dimethylam ine salt of 2,4

- D, 2

- ethylhexyl ester of 2,4

- D, butoxyethyl ester of 2,4

- D, triisopropanolamine salt of 2,4

- D, isopropylamine salt of 2,4

- D, diethanolamine salt of 2,4

- D, sodium salt of 2,4

- D, isopropyl ester of 2,4

- D, and choline salt of 2,4

- D.

. Ecological Risk Assessments

The Agency has conducted several ecological risk assessments on 2,4

- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4

- D) that serve as a basis for this scoping document. The two most recent are the 2005 Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED)

, and the 2009 California red

- legged frog and A lameda whipsnake endangered species assessment

.

The RED document f or 2,4

- D (USEPA 2005 a ) found the following major ecological conclusions (Table 1) :

Table 1 . Summary of Risk Concerns Identified for 2,4

- D 1 

### in the RED

Birds Mammals Terrestrial

Plants Terrestrial

Plants

Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes 1 Risk conclusions are based on acid equivalent (ae) of various forms of 2,4

- D . See

Section 2.3 for a description of the bridging strategy between 2,4

- D acid and it salts, amines, and esters.



## Risks to terrestrial birds, mammals, and plants were primarily caused by spray drift and runoff while risks to aquatic fish, invertebrates, and plants (terrestrial and aquatic) were the result of direct applications of 2,4

- D to aquatic systems for weed control.

The California red

- legged frog and A lameda whipsnake assessment (USEPA 2009) concluded a “may affect and likely to adversely affect” determinat ion for all uses of 2,4

- D except for citrus and potatoes. For citrus and potatoes, the determination was “may affect, but not likely to adversely affect.



# 1. 3 . Drinking Water Exposure Assessments

In the 2005 RED, EFED conducted an evaluation of concentra tions of 2,4

- D to which humans

may be exposed through the ingestion of drinking water. The assessment also included modeling and an evaluation of surface water and groundwater monitoring data. A number of modeling approaches were used to provide estimate d drinking water concentrations ( EDWCs ) for drinking

### Page 4 of 83 

## water. The highest exposure scenario was the direct application of 2,4

- D to surface water bodies for the control of aquatic weeds with an E DWC of 4000 μg ae/ L for peak (acute) exposure and

627 μg ae/ L for the annual mean (chronic) exposure.



# 1. 4

. Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act Programs

2,4

- D is regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and has a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 70 μg ae/ L

, a One

- Day Health Advisory (HA) for ch ildren of 1000

μ g ae/L

, and a 10

- d ay HA for children of 300 μ g ae/ L

. EFED reviewed non

- targeted 2,4

- D use monitoring data, which provided context to modeled results and indicated that there is little evidence that concentrations are likely to be found exc eeding the drinking water standards.

An Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criteria (Clean Water Act, section 304 ( a) ) document has not been published for 2,4

- D. Aquatic life benchmarks have been published and are listed in

# 2.1. Mechanism of Action

2,4

- D is a plant growth regulator (synthetic auxin herbicide) in the phenoxy or phenoxyacetic acid family. It is most commonly used as a post

- emergence herbicide for the selective control of broadleaf weeds. 2,4

- D cause s disruption of multiple growth processes in susceptible plants by affecting proteins in the plasma membrane, interfering with RNA production, and changing the properties and integrity of the plasma membran e. Excessive cell division and the resulting growth destroy the plant’s vascular transport system. The most susceptible tissues are those that are undergoing active cell division and growth (Gibson and Liebman, 2002). Plant injuries include growth and re production abnormalities, especially on new growth. Broadleaf plants experience stem and petiole twisting (epinasty), leaf malformations (parallel venation, leaf strapping, and cupping), undifferentiated cell masses and adventitious root formation on stem s, and stunted root growth. Grass plants exhibit r olled leaves (onion leafing), fused brace roots, leaning stems, and stalk brittleness. Disruption of reproductive processes may occur resulting in sterile or multiple florets and nonviable seed production

. Symptoms may appear on young growth almost immediately after application, but death may not occur for several weeks.

### Page 10 of 83 

# 2.2. Overview of Pesticide Usage

National pesticide usage data from the USDA

- NASS (United States Department of Agriculture's

National Agricultural Statistics Service) and Private Pest icide Market Research indicate that an

annual average of nearly 29 million pounds of all forms of 2,4

- D were applied to agricultural crops in the United States annually between 2006 and 2010 (USEPA 2012). The available usage data presents information in terms of 2,4

- D acid and does not break down the usage into the various salts and esters of 2,4

- D. The crops with the highest uses (based on average treated fraction of acreage) wer e : almond (15%), apples ( 20%), barley (25%), cherries (15%), fallow (25%), hazelnuts (25%), nectarines (15%), oats (15%), oranges (20%), peaches (20%), pears (15%), plums (15%), prunes (15%), sorghum (20%), sugarcane (40%), tangelos (30%), wheat (30%). All other treated crops ave raged 10% or less of the total acreage grown. Average annual use on lawns, turf, nurseries, etc. in commercial settings has decreased from 5 million to 4 million pounds per year (2002, 2004, 2006). Homeowner and aquatic weed control uses have

remained fairly constant with average annual uses of 9 to 9.5 million pounds per year (2003, 2005).



# 2. 3. Environmental Fate Bridging Strategy

Selected physicochemical properties

, chemical structures , and the ratios of molecular weight of various forms of 2, 4

- D are provided in Appendix A. The environmental fate strategy for 2,4

- D is based on bridging the degradation of 2,4

- D esters and 2,4

- D amine salts to 2,4

- D acid
[ Registration Standard for 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4

- D), 1988, 540/RS

- 88

- 115 ]

. The bridging data provide information on the time of dissociation of 2,4

- D amine salts and the rate of hydrolysis of 2,4

- D esters. There are acceptable bridging data for 2,4

- D DMA ; 2,4

- D IPA ; 2,4

- D

TIPA ; 2,4

- D EHE ; 2,4

- D BEE ; 2,4

- D DEA ; and 2,4

- D IPE. T he sodium and choline salt s of 2,4

- D are also considered to be equivalent to 2,4

- D acid. T he 2,4

- D amine salts as well as 2,4

- D

choline salt have been shown to dissociate rapidly in water. The bridging data indicate esters of 2,4

- D are rapidly hydrolyzed to 2,4

- D acid in alkaline aquatic environments, soil/water slurries,

and moist soils

. Under extremely dry soil conditions, these degradat ion mechanisms may be inhibited, which could result in an increase d persistence of 2,4

- D esters. The laboratory brid ging data indicate that under most environmental conditions, 2,4

- D esters and 2,4

- D amine salts will degrade rapidly to form 2,4

- D acid.



# 2.3. Environmental Fate and Transport

The physicochemical properties in Table 5 suggest that 2,4

- D acid is soluble in water ( 569 mg/L )

. The vapor pressure ( 1.4 × 10 - 7 

## mm Hg ) and Henry's L aw C onstant ( 8.56 x 10 - 6 

## atm

m 3 

## /mol) indicate that 2,4

- D acid has a low volatility

. However, b ased on the physical

- chemical properties of the ester forms (Appendix A) of 2,4

- D and on evidence from the open literature, there may be a concern for effects to non

- target organisms from volatilization and off

- site deposition of 2,4

- D esters. 2,4

- D acid is unlikely to bioaccumulate in fish given the low value of

the l og n

- octanol/water partition coefficient (log K

ow 

## 0.18 at neutral pH)

. However, t he log K

ow 

## of e ster forms of 2,4

- D ranges from 2.4 to 5.78 , which is higher than 2,4

- D acid (Appendix A)

. The higher values for the ester suggest that these compounds can potential ly bioaccumu l ate in aquatic organisms

, but t hese values were based on a regression

- based estimation method (i.e.

### Page 11 of 83 

## EPIsuite) that assum es the compound s are not altered physically or chemically once released into

the environment

. A field study shows no accumulation in fish of applied 2,4

- D DMA or 2,4

- D

BEE at the higher rate in a lake in Georgia (Hoeppel and Westerdahl 1983). Both formulations were converted to free 2,4

- D acid within 24 hours after application.

Table 5 also provide s environmental fate properties of 2,4

- D acid, along with the major and minor degradates detected in the submitted environmental fate and transport studies. 2,4

- D acid

is stable to abiotic hydrolysis in buffered aqueous solutions at pH 4, 5, 7

, and 9 . Th e degradation of 2,4

- D acid appears to be dependent on oxidative microbial ly

- mediated mineralization in the terrestrial environment and photodegradation in water. Results from laboratory studies indicate rapid to moderately rapid degradation under aerobic soil conditions with half

- lives ranging from 1.4 days to 12.4 days and a median half

- life of 2.9 days. Only minor degradates, 2,4

- d ichlorophenol (2,4

- DCP ; a maximum of 3.5% of applied ) and 2,4

- dichloroanisol (2,4

- DCA ; a maximum of 2.8% of applied ), were identified in soils. The photodegradation half

- life of 2,4

- D acid was 12.9 days in a pH 5.0 buffer solution and a major degradate, 1,2,4

- benezenetriol (37% of applied) was identified. 2,4

- D acid was stable to photodegradation in soil.

2,4

- D acid was not stable in aerobic aquatic environments (t 1/2 

## =15.0 days) but was moderately persistent to persistent (t 1/2 

## =28.5 to 333 days) in anaerobic aquatic laboratory studies. The major degradates were chlorohydroquinone (CHQ) ( maximum of 16.0 % of appl ied) in aerobic aquatic conditions and 2,4

- DCP (maximum of 32.0 % of applied) under anaerobic aquatic environment.

There were t hree major degradates identified in the submitted environmental fate studies for 2,4

- D ; a maximum of 37 % of 1,2,4

- benezenetrio l, a maximum of 32.6% of 2,4

- D

- di chlorophenol (2,4

- DCP)

, and a maximum of 16% of c hlorohydroquinone (CHQ) . The minor degradates (<3% of applied) detected were 4

- chloropheno xyacetic acid (4

- CPA)

, 4

- chlorophenol

, and 2,4

- DCA (Table 5)

. The major degradate, 1,2,4

- benzenetriol

, is a photodegradate that was observed under abiotic conditions and is less likely to occur under natural conditions where microbe

- mediated degradation occurs. However, there are insufficient data on the major degradates of 2,4

- D to

ad equately assess their persistence and mobility.

## Given that 2,4

- D acid is anionic (X

- COO

- H+) under most environmental conditions, it is expected to be mobile to moderately mobile with a range of K foc 

## of 58.1 to 117 mL/g (using the classification scheme of FAO, 2006) in soil. The mobility of 2,4

- D acid in supplemental soil thin layer chromatography (TLC) studies was classified as intermediately mobile (Rf=0.41) to very mobile (Rf=1.00) in mineral soil s.

A series of fate studies were also submitted for the various chemical forms of 2,4

- D. These

forms included DMA, IPA, TIPA , DEA, 2

- EHE, BEE, and IPE. These data suggest that fate properties of 2,4

- D salts and esters are comparable to 2,4

- D acid. A detailed assessment of 2,4

- D’s environmental fate can be obtained from EFED’s Risk Assessment for the Reregistration Eligibility Document for 2,4

- D (USEPA, 2005a)

### Page 16 of 83 

## The registrant conducted a total of 30 terrestrial field dissipation studies in CA, CO, NC , ND, NE, OH, and TX on bare ground plots as well as plots cropped with corn, pasture, turf, and wheat. The 2,4

- D acid half

- lives ranged from 1.1 days to 42.5 days with a median half

- life of 6.1 days. These half

- lives reflect dissipation from the surface soil layer (0 to 6 inches). The data indicate a rapid to moderately rapid dissipation rate for 2,4

- D acid. The half

- lives of 2,4

- D degradation products (2,4

- DCP and 2,4

- DCA) were not estimated because of their sporadic occurrence patterns in surface soi ls.

T o address the behavior of 2,4

- D in aquatic systems

, a series of aquatic field dissipation studies

were conducted in ND, NC, and L A

. The estimated dissipation half lives were 20.7 and 2.7 days in water from the NC pond after the first and second ap plications, 14 days and 6.1 days in water from a ND pond after the first and second applications, and 1.0 day in water from the L A rice paddy after the single application. The high application rates result in peak concentrations of 4,800 μg ae / L at day 1 in the ND pond (application rate of 41.8 lb ae/ A ), of 2,800 μ g ae / L on day 0 in the NC pond (application rate of 41.8 lb ae/ A ), and of 2,300 μ g ae / L on day 0 in the L A pond (application rate of 1.8 lbs ae/ A ). These concentrations are higher than the 2,4

- D Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 70 μg ae / L . 2,4

- D concentrations in water did not decrease to below the MCL until after day 30 (1,500 μ g ae / L ) at the ND pond, until after day 29 (860 μg

ae / L ) at the NC pond, and until after day 3 (390 μg ae / L ) at the L A pond. T wo additional aquatic dispersion and dissipation studies were also conducted in F L and M N for the application of DMA to control aquatic weeds. At the maximum application rate, the target DMA concentration in aquatic environments does not exceed t he solubility concentration for DMA.

In addition, two field dissipation studies usin g DMA were also submitted to address forest field dissipation. DMA was applied as a spray at a nominal rate of 4.0 lb ae/A onto a forest plot of loam soil planted with f ir trees . R egistrant

- calculated dissipation half lives for 2,4

- D acid were 38.7 days in exposed soil, 50.8 days in protected soil, 37.4 days on foliage, and 65.7 days on leaf

litter. However, the apparent first half

- lives occurred between 0 and 1 day post

- treatment in the exposed soil, 1 and 3 days in the protected soil, 3 and 7 days on the foliage, and 7 and 14 days on the leaf litter; dissipation was observed to be biphasic in each case. EFED estimated half lives for 2,4

- D acid of 59 days in exposed soil, 68 days in protected soil, 42 days on foliage, and 72 days on leaf litter.



# 3. Receptors

In general, the ester forms of 2,4

- D are more toxic to aquatic organisms than the acid, amine, and

salt forms. Table 6 provides a summary of the most sensitive aquatic endpoints for salts, amines, and the acid of 2,4

- D. Table 7 provides a summary of the most sensitive aquatic endpoints for 2,4

- D esters. These will be considered separately i n the aquatic analyses. Table 8 provides a list

of the most s ensitive endpoints for terrestrial organisms, regardless of their chemical form; in contrast to the aquatics, data do not indicate that terrestrial organisms are more sensitive to one particular form of 2,4

- D.

# 3.3. Ecological Incidents

T he Avian Incident Monitoring System (AIMS) was searched on June 5, 2012 and three ecological incidents were identified that involv ed 2,4

- D. One incident was classified as certain to have been caused by 2,4

- D and involved a misuse of the pesticide to corn. The incident occurred in Iowa on May 19, 1996 and resulted in one dead bird (species unknown) at the site. The other two incidents were listed as unlikely to have been caused by 2,4

- D.

A search of the Ecological Incident Information System database (EIIS) on August 6, 2012

returned more than 400 incidents for 2,4

- D, ranging from 1949 to the present (Table 9). The majority of these incidents were reported for 2,4

- D acid and involved plants. Entries included both residential and agricultural use of 2,4

- D products. Many of the plant incidents appeared to

result from over

- application of 2,4

- D products to lawns or application of 2,4

- D products to types of gr ass that are sensitive to 2,4

- D. Other plant incidents were the result of spray drift in agricultural settings. A limited number of incidents with other organisms (fish, aquatic plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, and terrestrial insects) were also reporte d. Incidents will need to be carefully reviewed to determine the role that 2,4

- D products may have played; many incidents involved the application of other pesticides as well. In addition, incidents that are the result of a clear misuse of 2,4

- D will be removed from the analysis. No incidents were reported for Na or IPE; the choline salt was not listed in the database (Appendix C)

# 4. Conceptual Model

There is potential for exposure to terrestrial and aquatic organisms from the labeled uses of 2,4

- D (Figure 1). The environmental fate properties indicate that exposures may result through spray drift, runoff, volatilization, wet /dry deposition, and leaching to ground water

. The Screening Imbibition Program (SIP) model indicates that exposure to 2,4

- D through drinking water may be a potential concern for birds and mammals. The Screening Tool for Inhalation Risk (STIR) model indicates that exposure via inhalation is not likely significant for mammals or birds

.

The h ypothesi s for testing by risk assessment methods for each existing and proposed 2,4

- D use

is “ 2,4

- D, used in accordance with the label, produces adverse effects on individual survival, growth, or reproduction in terrestrial vertebrates, terre strial invertebrates, terrestrial plants, aquatic vertebrates, aquatic invertebrates, or aquatic plants .”

# 5.1. S tressors of Concern

The stressors of ecological concern for terrestrial and aquatic organisms are the 10 forms of 2,4

- D. Submitted ecological studies indicate that the ester forms for 2,4

- D are generally more toxic to aquatic organisms than the salt, ami ne, and acid forms. Consequently, the esters will be considered separately for aquatic organisms , as has been done in recent risk assessments (USEPA 2005a and 2009) . For terrestrial scenarios, the most sensitive endpoint, regardless of the 2,4

- D form (es ter, salt, amine, acid) will be used in the risk assessment.

Several major degradat es ( 1,2,4

- benzenetriol, 2,4

- DCP and CHQ) of 

## 2,4

- D (Table 5) were detected in submitted environmental fate studies. With the exception of 2

, 4

- DCP (a maximum of 3.5% of applied), the degradates were not detected in the terrestrial environment

. The 1,2,4

- benzenetriol degradate was eliminated from concern because it is formed only via aqueous photolysis

. I t may be less likely to occur in many en vironments as degradation of 2,4

- D , which appears to be dependent primarily on oxidative microbial

- mediated mineralization

. The exposure of CHQ in the environment is likely to be low since it formed in aerobic aquatic environments to a significant extent o nly on day 27, and, from that point, dissipation was rapid (half

- life of 

## 5 days). Although 2,4

- DCP is a minor degradate in terrestrial environment, it is a major degradate (<32%) under anaerobic aquatic conditions . 2,4

- DCP is also a product impurit y of 2, 4

- D. There are some toxicity data of 2

- DCP available in the ECOTOX ( http://cfpub.epa.gov/ecotox/ ), which suggest it is more toxic than 2,4

- D for selected aquatic organisms. T herefore, 2,4

- D (acid, salts, and esters) as well as its degradate, 2,4

- DCP will be considered as stressors of concern in ecological risk assessment

.

Polychloro dibenzo

- p

- dioxin (PCDD) and polychloro dibenzo

- p

- furans (PCDF) may be formed during the manufacture of 2,4

- D and can remai n in the products as impurities. According to 2,4

- D registrants, since the 1990’s, the manufacturing processes for 2,4

- D and its chemical intermediate, dichlorophenol, have been modified to reduce concentrations of PCDD and PCDF in the technical 2,4

- D pro ducts. However, EFED will explore current data on impurities in 2,4

- D and perform a similar ecological risk assessment to the one that was conducted in 2005 (US EPA, 2005 b ) for PCDD and PCDF, if warranted.

### Page 24 of 83 

# 5.2. Measures of Exposure

EFED will use standard available models to evaluate potential exposures to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Screening level calculations for birds and mammals have suggested that the drinking water exposure pathway may be significa nt, but that the inhalation exposure pathway is unlikely to be significant (see Appendix B for a more detailed rationale) . These exposure pathways may be further considered at the time of the risk assessment

. The Agency is

also aware of 2,4

- D monitoring conducted in various environmental media by federal and state agencies

. R oute s of exposure will be considered in the assessment to the extent that data on 2,4

- D are available , based on the conceptual model (Figure 1)

.



# 5.3. Measures of Effect

Toxicity d ata presented in Section 3 of this problem formulation will be used to calculate risk quotients , which are calculated by dividing Estimated Environmental Concentrations ( EECs ) by the most sensitive toxicity value for a given taxon . Any additional information submitted by the registrant or found in the open literature prior to conduct of the risk assessment will also be

considered.



# 5.4. Drinking Water Assessment

If a revised drinking water assessment is warranted, EFED will con duct a drinking water

assessment to support future human health dietary risk assessments of 2,4

- D . The drinking water

assessment will be performed based on EFED’s current guidance using appropriate surface and groundwater models. Descriptions of all exec utable versions of current models for drinking water exposure can be obtained from URL link below. http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/

## The following terrestrial toxicity data are needed for the 2,4

- D ecological effects assessment:

Avian Acute Oral Toxicity Test (Passerine Species): Guideline 850.2100 Acute avian oral toxicity data are required for either one waterfowl or one upland game species and one passerine species under the 40 CFR Part 158 (2010) data requirements for conventional pesticides with o utdoor uses (can be performed with any 2,4

- D salt or ester ) . The lowest endpoint from s ubmitted acute o ral avian effects data show s an LD 50 

## of > 218.7 mg ae /kg

- bw for

t he bobwhite quail (MRID 41644401)

. Given that passerine species have higher metabolic rates

because of their smaller sizes than either waterfowl or upland game bird species and because they may utilize different metabolic pathways, they may be more or less sensitive to 2,4

- D

. EPA’s California Red Legged Frog and RED assessment s showed the level of concern was

### Page 30 of 83 

## exceeded for birds. A passerine study protocol should be submitted for review by t he Agency prior to initiation of the study.



# 7.3 Environmental Fate and Effect s Data for Degradate

, 2,4

- DCP

There are some toxicity data for 2

- DCP available in the ECOTOX ( http://cfpub.epa.gov/ecotox/ ),

which suggest it is more toxic than 2,4

- D for selected aquatic organisms. There have been no registrant submitted environmental fate and effects studies for this degradate. Given that this degradate is relevant to aquatic environments, the Agency notes that the re are m ultiple freshwater invertebrate and fish studies for 2,4

- DCP in the ECOTOX database. The Agency plans to review these studies for the registration review risk assessment and incorporate toxicity information from this degradate, as appropriate. Th e registrant and/or public is welcome to submit additional information that would validate 2,4

- DCP' s environmental fate and effects properties . In the case that the ECOTOX studies are not found to meet the Agency's criteria, conservative assumptions will be made about the fate properties and t oxicological effects of 2,4

- DCP, including the use of predictive models to generate appropriate data

. T he Agency would be interested in any public perspective regarding the availability of data and its consistency wi th the Agency’s data evaluation criteria outlined in http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/science/ efed/policy_guidance/team_authors/endangered_species_ reregistration_workgroup/esa_evaluation_open_literature.htm

Screening Level Models to Evaluate Potential Importance of Drinking Water and

Inhalation Exposure Pathways

SIP ( Screening Imbibition Program, v1.0) was used to calculate an upper bound estimate of 2,4

- D exposure via drinking water using solubility of 2,4

- D forms , the most sensitive acute and chronic avian toxicity endpoints (bobwhite quail, LD 50 

## > 218.7 mg/kg

- bw and NOAEC = 962 mg ae/kg

- diet) and the most sensitive acute and chronic mammalian toxicity endpoints (rat, LD 50 

## = 441 mg/kg

- bw and NOAEL = 5 mg/kg

- bw). The model indicated that EHE (0.087 mg/L) and BEE (8.03 mg/L) do not present acut e or chronic concerns for birds and mammals. All other 2,4

- D salts, amines, and esters present potential acute and chronic concerns for birds and mammals through d rinking water exposure . Results for IPE (solubility = 230 mg/L) are presented in Tables B.1 and B.2 ; all other 2,4

- D forms had higher solubility limits (2,4

- D = 569 mg/L; DEA = 806 mg/L; Na = 4500 mg/L; IPA = 17400 mg/L; TIPA 46100 mg/L; and DMA = 72900 mg/L

.

Table B.1 . SIP Avian Results for IPE

Parameter Acute Chronic

Upper bound exposure (mg/kg

- bw) 39.5600 39.5600
Adjusted toxicity value (mg/kg

- bw) 339.1998 3.8458
Ratio of exposure to acute toxicity 0.1166 10.2865

Conclusion* Exposure through drinking water alone is a potential

concern for birds Exposure through drinking

water alone is a potential

concern for birds



## Table B.2 . SIP Mammalian Results for IPE

Parameter Acute Chronic

Upper bound exposure (mg/kg

- bw) 186.3000 186.3000
Adjusted toxicity value (mg/kg

- bw) 157.5579 102.2590
Ratio of exposure to toxicity 1.1824 1.8218

Conclusion* Exposure through drinking water alone is a potential

concern for mammals Exposure through drinking water alone is a potential

concern for mammals

*Conclusion is for drinking water exposure alone. This does not combine all routes of exposure. Therefore, when aggregated with other routes ( i.e. , diet, inhalation, dermal), pesticide exposure through drinking water may contribute to a total exposure that has the potential for additional effects to non

- target animals.



## STIR ( S creening T ool for I nhalation R isk

, v1.0) was used to calculate an upper bound estimate of 2,4

- D exposure via inhalation using 2,4

- D’s molecular weight (221.04 g/mole), vapor pressure (1.4 x 10 - 7 

## mmHg), highest granular application rate (4 lb ae/A), most sensitive acute avian toxicity endpoint (bobwhite quail, LD 50 

## > 218.7 mg/kg

- bw), and most sensitive acute oral and inhalation mammalian toxicity endpoints (rat, LD 50 

## = 441 mg/kg

- bw and 4 hr LC 50 

## = 0.78 mg/L, respectively). The non

- definitive avian oral toxicity endpoint resul ts in a conservative estimate

of the LD 50 

## here. Inhalation alone was determined to be a potential pathway of concern for birds (droplet inhalation) for 2,4

- D acid and the following salts and esters moietie s : Na, DEA, DMA,

### Page 41 of 83 

## IPA, TIPA, BEE, and Choline, how ever, the ratio of droplet inhalation dose to adjusted

inhalation LD 50 

## was very low, making it unlikely that a mor e refined assessment would show

there was a concern ( Table B.3 s hows an example); the screening model is very conservative and

assumes 100% of the droplets are inhaled

. The results for mammals indicated no adverse effects from the inhalation exposure route ( Table B.4 ). The results for 2

- EHE and IPE indicated

concerns in birds through both inhalation pathways (vapor dose and droplet inhalation) ; however, it is unlikely, given the conservative nature of the model, that this exposure pathway is a concern (see above rationale)

. Exposure is not likely significant for mammals.
