I. Executive Summary 

A chronic aggregate dietary (food and drinking water) exposure and risk assessment was 

conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with the Food Commodity 

Intake Database (DEEM-FCID) Version 3.16. This software uses 2003-2008 food consumption 

data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) National Health and Nutrition 

Examination Survey, What We Eat in America, (NHANES/WWEIA). The analysis was 

conducted in support of a human health risk assessment for the proposed Section 3 request on 

sorghum tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. This memorandum was reviewed by 

two peer reviewers of the DESAC, per DESAC SOP 2012.1. 

Acute and Cancer Dietary Exposure 

No acute dietary toxicity endpoint could be identified based on the toxicology data currently 

available for rimsulfuron; therefore, an acute assessment was not performed. 

The Cancer Assessment Review Committee (CARC) classified rimsulfuron as "not likely to be 

carcinogenic to humans;" therefore, a cancer dietary assessment was not performed. 

Chronic Dietary Exposure Results and Characterization 

The unrefined chronic dietary exposure assessment was based on the assumption that 

rimsulfuron residues are present at tolerance levels in all commodities for which tolerances have 

been established and that 100% of those crops are treated. DEEM Version 7. 81 default 

processing factors were applied to all processed commodities for which they were available. 

Estimated drinking water concentration (EDWC) values were incorporated directly into the 

dietary assessment. 

The chronic dietary exposure estimates for food and water are well below HED's level of 

concern for the general U.S. population and all population subgroups. The dietary exposure is 

estimated at 0.000807 mg/kg/day for the U.S. population (<1% of the chronic population 

adjusted dose (cPAD)) and 0.001710 (1.4% of the cPAD) for all infants, the population subgroup 

with the highest estimated chronic dietary exposure to rimsulfuron. 

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 

point of departure (PoD; e.g. no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL), lowest observed 

adverse effect level (LOAEL), etc.) divided by the required uncertainty or 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 website: "Available Information on Assessing

Exposure from Pesticides, A User’s Guide,” 21-JUN-2000, web link: 

http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf ; or see SOP 99.6 (20-

AUG-1999).

The most recent HED dietary risk assessment for rimsulfuron was conducted by E. Holman (DP# 

D394389, 10/28/2011). 

II. Residue Information

Plants/Livestock: The nature of the residue of rimsulfuron in plants and livestock commodities 

is rimsulfuron (D360852, D. Rate, 8/13/2009, and Metabolism Assessment Review Committee 

(MARC) report, 02/11/1998).

Drinking Water: The residues of concern for drinking water include rimsulfuron and major 

degradates IN-70941 and IN-70942 (DP# D416833, C. Walls, 12/18/2013).

Tolerances: Permanent tolerances are established for residues of rimsulfuron at levels ranging 

from 0.01 ppm in/on various tree fruits, tree nuts and grapes to 0.1 ppm in/on potatoes and field 

corn commodities [40 CFR §180.478(a)]. 

For the proposed new use on sorghum, a tolerance level of 0.01 ppm is recommended (DP# 

D418153, M. Negussie, 03/17/2014).

Residue Data used for the Chronic Assessment: The unrefined chronic dietary assessment is 

based on the assumption that rimsulfuron residues are present at the proposed or registered 

tolerance levels in all commodities and that 100% of those crops are treated. DEEM Version 

7.81 default processing factors were applied to all processed commodities for which they were 

available. In the processing study for soybean oil, residues did not concentrate. Therefore, the 

processing factor was left at 1.0. 

The USDA Pesticide Data Program (PDP) monitored pesticide residues in catfish in 2008, 2009, 

and 2010. In general, pesticide residues would not be expected to be found in fish unless the 

pesticide bioaccumulates or has an aquatic use. To determine whether or not residues are present 

in fish, HED now routinely checks PDP monitoring data regardless of the pesticide’s uses and 

physicochemical properties. However, PDP did not analyze catfish samples for rimsulfuron. As 

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

III. Percent Crop Treated Information

100% CT was assumed for all crops.

IV. Drinking Water Data

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

Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED; M. Barrett, D414506, 03/13/2014). Water

residues were incorporated directly into the DEEM-FCID assessment under the food categories 

“water, direct, all sources” and “water, indirect, all sources.” 

Rimsulfuron foliar applications using ground and aerial sprays impact both surface and ground 

water drinking water sources given that it possesses similar physical chemical properties and 

persistence to other chemicals which are known to translocate to these media.

The residue of concern in drinking water is parent rimsulfuron including the degradates (IN70941 and IN-70942) ((DP# D416833, C. Walls, 12/18/2013). The estimate is based on 

assessment of all registered uses using the Tier 1 model PRZM-GW (Pesticide Root Zone 

Model-Ground Water). The models and their descriptions are available at the EPA internet site: 

http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/. The maximum estimated drinking water 

concentrations (EDWCs) are presented below in Table 1.

In this updated drinking water exposure assessment it has been determined that exposure from 

the current and proposed uses should not exceed 19.7 μg/L (ppb) for chronic and cancer 

exposure. A value of 22.2 ppb was provided for an acute assessment; however, an acute 

assessment was not performed. These values reflect a predicted higher potential exposure level 

from groundwater sourced drinking water supplies than surface water supplies. The Table 1 

values are based on uses from several crop sites with higher single and seasonal maximum 

application rates than is proposed for the new use on ALS tolerant sorghum.

application rates than for the proposed use on ALS tolerant sorghum.

V. DEEM-FCID Program and Consumption Information

A rimsulfuron chronic dietary exposure assessment was conducted using the DEEM-FCID, 

Version 3.16, which incorporates 2003-2008 consumption data from USDA’s 

NHANES/WWEIA. 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 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.

VI. Toxicological Information

No acute hazard, attributable to a single dose, was identified; therefore, an acute dietary endpoint 

was not selected for quantitative risk assessment.

The Cancer Assessment Review Committee (CARC) classified rimsulfuron as “not likely to be 

carcinogenic to humans;” therefore, a cancer assessment was not performed.

The toxicity endpoints pertinent for human health dietary risk assessment are summarized in 

Table 2.

VII. Results/Discussion 

As stated above, for chronic assessments, HED is concerned when dietary risk exceeds 100% of 

the cPAD. The DEEM-FCID analyses estimate the dietary exposure of the U.S. population and 

various population subgroups. The results reported in Table 3 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. 

Rimsulfuron chronic dietary (food + water) exposure estimates using the DEEM-FCID software 

are well below HED’s level of concern for the U.S. population and each of the population 

subgroups. Dietary exposure was estimated to be 0.000807 mg/kg/day for the U.S. population 

(<1% of the cPAD) and 0.001710 mg/kg/day (1.4% of the cPAD) for all infants, the most highly 

exposed population subgroup. The estimated exposures and risks from residues of rimsulfuron 

in food and water are summarized in Table 3.

indicated by bold text.

VIII. Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

These chronic dietary exposure and risk estimates are highly conservative. They are based on 

the assumption that 100% of crops with tolerances are treated with rimsulfuron, and that residues 

in foods “as eaten” are present at tolerance levels. In addition, drinking water exposure estimates

are conservative estimates generated by the PRZM-GW Model.

Dietary exposure estimates could be refined through the use of anticipated residues, percent crop 

treated data, empirical processing factors, and/or refined estimated drinking water

concentrations. However, as estimated exposures and risks using conservative assumptions are 

well below HED’s level of concern, such refinement is not warranted.

IX. Conclusions

This unrefined chronic dietary exposure analysis using DEEM-FCID indicates that chronic 

dietary exposure to rimsulfuron from food and drinking water is well below HED’s level of 

concern for this pesticide. Estimated chronic dietary exposures are ≤1.4% of the cPAD for the 

general U.S. population and all population subgroups.
