trials
ranged
from
1.0
to
60
acres,
averaging
12
acres.
The
field
trials
were
mostly
conducted
on
apple
orchards,
although
one
of
the
open
cab
trials
(
GU026­
03D)
specified
that
applications
were
made
to
apples
and
stone
fruit.

2.
Meteorology:

Meteorological
conditions
were
recorded
during
the
application.
The
Study

recoveries
ranged
from
86%
to
94%.

Quantification:
The
MSMB
residue
level
in
urine
was
determined
by
comparing
the
LC/
MS
measurement
of
MSMB
to
the
measurement
of
the
MSMB
internal
standard.

Breathing
Zone
Air
Samples
The
top
and
bottom
sections
of
the
OVS
tubes
were
analyzed
separately.
The
top
portion
of
the
OVS
tube
(
including
the
retaining
ring,
filter,
upper
layer
of
XAD­
2
resin,
and
the
upper
foam
ring)
was
disassembled
and
placed
into
a
labeled
40
mL
vial.
The
bottom
portion
of
the
OVS
tube
(
lower
layer
of
XAD­
2
resin
and
lower
foam
plug)
was
disassembled
and
placed
into
a
separate,
labeled
40
mL
vial.
Each
sample
received
10
mL
of
acetonitrile
and
an
internal
standard
solution,
which
contained
a
mixture
of
dueterated
azinphos­
methyl
(
1.0
µ
g)
and
azinphos­
methyl
oxon
(
0.2
µ
g).
Each
sample
was
then
sonicated
for
2
minutes
and
a
0.25
mL
aliquot
was
removed
and
diluted
with
0.75
mL
of
water.
The
diluted
samples
were
analyzed
by
LC/

RESULTS
AND
CALCULATIONS:

A.
EXPOSURE
CALCULATIONS:

Internal
Dose
The
internal
azinphos­
methyl
dose
was
determined
from
the
urinary
biomarker,
MSMB,
residues
measured
in
24
hour
urine
samples
collected
from
each
worker
during
a
sampling
interval
of
120
hours
following
initiation
of
exposure.
MSMB
residue
levels
are
presented
in
this
report
as
µ
g
equivalents
of
parent
azinphos
methyl.
Equivalents
were
calculated
using
a
molecular
weight
conversion
factor
of
1.328.
The
MSMB
residues
measured
in
the
urine
samples
following
entry
are
presented
both
with
a
correction
for
the
amount
of
MSMB
residue
found
in
each
worker s
urine
sample
from
the
day
before
entry
(
day
­
1,
assumed
to
be
a
background
concentration)
and
without
this
correction.
HED
also
corrected
field
fortification
samples
for
blank
sample
residues
and
corrected
all
field
samples
for
field
fortification
recoveries,
even
those
greater
than
90%
per
EPA s
request.
Corrected
residue
was
then
adjusted
for
the
volume
of
urine
collected
during
each
24
hour
sampling
interval.
The
MSMB
residue
levels
excreted
for
each
worker
over
the
entire
post­
entry
sampling
interval
(
120
hours
following
initiation
of
exposure)
were
summed
(
i.
e.,
day
0,
day
1,
day
2,
day
3,
and
day
4).
HED
adjusted
the
summed
MSMB
excreted
for
each
worker
for
the
cumulative
percent
of
the
absorbed
dose
excreted
96­
120
hours
after
exposure
(
determined
from
a
previous
study
 
83.6%)
and
the
percent
of
urine
activity
attributed
to
MSMB
(
determined
from
a
previous
study
 
9.2%).
These
results
were
then
normalized
to
body
weight
and
amount
of
active
ingredient
handled.
Table
7
provides
the
average
azinphos­
methyl
doses
for
open
and
closed
cab
field
trials
based
on
body
weight
and
pounds
of
active
ingredient
handled.
Doses
were
calculated
both
by
correcting
for
background
residues
and
not
correcting
for
background
residues
(
day
­
1
residues).
The
average
azinphos­
methyl
doses
for
open
cab
and
closed
cab
field
trials,
without
background
correction,
are
0.0035
and
0.00080
mg/
kg
body
weight,
respectively.
The
total
average
azinphos­
methyl
doses
for
open
cab
and
closed
cab
field
trials,
with
background
correction,
are
0.0027
and
0.00057
mg/
kg
body
weight,
respectively.
Azinphos­
methyl
doses
for
open
and
closed
cab
field
trials,
based
on
pounds
active
ingredient
handled,
are
0.013
and
0.0023

(

were
measured
on

and
combined
for
a

III
DISCUSSION:

A.
LIMITATIONS
OF
THE
STUDY:
This
study
met
most
of
the
Group
A
875.1300
(
inhalation
exposure)
and
875.1500
(
biological
monitoring)
Guidelines.
The
major
issues
of
concern
are:

 
The
guideline
states
that
a
sufficient
number
of
replicates
should
be
generated
to
address
the
exposure
issues
associated
with
the
population
of
interest.
The
open
cab
study
began
with
15
replicates,
however,
results
from
three
of
the
workers
were
excluded
from
the
data
analysis
due
to
unusually
high
background
(
day
­
1)
residue
levels.

·
The
guideline
states
that
samples
should
be
stored
in
a
manner
that
will
minimize
deterioration
and
loss
of
analytes
between
collection
and
analysis;
biological
monitoring
samples
(
e.
g.,
serum,
plasma
and
urine)
should
be
refrigerated
or
stored
frozen
prior
to
analysis
;
whole
blood
should
not
be
frozen;
and
information
on
storage
stability
should
be
provided.
The
Study
Report
states
that
samples
were
stored
frozen
prior
to
analysis
and
that
field
fortification
samples
and
recoveries
were
used
to
demonstrate
storage
stability.
A
separate
storage
stability
study
was
not
mentioned.

·
According
to
active
AZM
label,
the
maximum
application
rate
recommended
for
apples
is
1.5
lb
ai/
acre.
The
actual
application
rates
for
the
open
cab
trials
averaged
0.911
lb
ai/
A
(
ranging
from
0.534
lb
ai/
A
to
1.098
lb
ai/
A
and
for
the
closed
cab
trials
averaged
1.407
lb
ai/
A
(
ranging
from
0.62
lb
ai/
A
to
2.052
lb
ai/
A).

·
The
guideline
states
that
data
should
be
corrected
if
any
appropriate
field
fortified,
laboratory
fortified
or
storage
stability
recovery
is
less
than
90
percent.
This
criterion
was
altered
and
the
Study
Report
states
that
corrections
were
made
for
all
field
fortification
recovery
values,
even
those
above
90%.

·
The
guideline
states
that
a
trapping
efficiency
test
for
the
monitoring
media
chosen
must
be
documented.
A
trapping
efficiency
test
was
not
reported.
However,
average
method
validation
recoveries
ranged
from
90%
to
107%
for
azinphos­
methyl
and
from
86%
to
102%
for
azinphos­
methyl
oxon.
    
18
  
39
·
The
guideline
states
that
air
samples
should
also
be
tested
for
breakthrough
to
ensure
that
collected
material
is
not
lost
from
the
medium
during
sampling
and
it
is
recommended
that
at
least
one
test
be
carried
out
where
the
initial
trap
contains
10X
the
highest
amount
of
residue
expected
in
the
field.
A
breakthrough
test
was
not
mentioned
in
the
Study
Report.

·
The
guideline
states
that
the
extraction
efficiency
of
laboratory
fortified
controls
is
considered
acceptable
if
the
lower
limit
of
the
95%
confidence
interval
is
greater
than
75%,
unless
otherwise
specified
by
the
Agency.
At
a
minimum,
the
guideline
states
that
seven
determinations
should
be
made
at
each
fortification
level
to
calculate
the
mean
and
standard
deviation
for
recovery
and
that
the
total
recovery
from
field­
fortified
samples
must
be
greater
than
50%
for
the
study.
Laboratory
control
samples
were
fortified
and
yielded
average
recoveries
of
101%
for
azinphos­
methyl
and
97%
for
azinphos­
methyl
oxon
for
the
open
cab
field
trials
and
103%
for
azinphos­
methyl
and
95%
for
azinphos­
methyl
oxon
for
the
closed
cab
field
trials.
There
were
5
fortification
samples
at
2
levels,
with
all
recoveries
greater
than
50%.

·
The
guideline
states
that
if
trapping
media
or
extracts
from
field
samples
are
to
be
stored
after
exposure,
a
stability
test
of
the
compound
of
interest
must
be
documented
and
the
media
must
be
stored
under
the
same
conditions
as
field
samples.
Storage
stability
samples
should
be
extracted
and
analyzed
immediately
before
and
at
appropriate
periods
during
storage
and
the
time
periods
for
storage
should
be
chosen
so
that
the
longest
corresponds
to
the
longest
projected
storage
period
for
field
samples.
There
was
no
information
in
storage
stability
included
in
the
study
report.

·
Rainfall
from
the
first
application
to
the
last
sampling
was
the
only
meteorological
condition
reported
by
the
registrant.

Additionally
other
major
issues
of
concern
were
noted
in
evaluation
of
the
study:

·
The
Registrant
presented
results
in
terms
of
the
quantity
of
azinphos­
methyl
equivalent
excreted
at
each
24
hour
sampling
interval.
This
calculation
does
not
correlate
to
the
total
dose
received
after
one
day s
exposure
to
azinphos­
methyl.
The
estimated
dose
received
after
one
day
of
exposure
is
calculated
by
adding
the
daily
amount
excreted
over
the
120
hour
collection
period
and
factoring
for
azinphos
methyl
dose
expected
to
be
excreted
in
urine
120
hours
after
exposure
and
the
percentage
of
azinphos
methyl
dose
represented
by
MSMB.

·
The
Registrant
used
an
inappropriate
adjustment
factor
to
normalize
measured
azinphos
methyl
equivalents
to
correspond
to
an
estimated
azinphos
methyl
dose.
The
authors
used
the
adjustment
factor
appropriate
for
a
collection
over
192
hours
(
not
the
120
hour
collection
used
in
the
study).
The
value
used
by
the
study
authors
was
8.2%
representing
89.3%
of
the
absorbed
dose
excreted
over
120­
192
hours.
Urine
samples
were
collected
for
120
hours
after
entry.
The
registrant
also
used
this
correction
factor
for
each
24
hour
urine
sampling
period
beginning
with
the
first
24
hours
after
entry
(
day
0).
In
order
to
estimate
the
total
absorbed
dose
of
AZM
based
on
120
hour
MSMB
residue
levels,
the
appropriate
correction
value
is
9.2%
representing
83.6%
of
the
absorbed
dose
    
19
  
39
excreted
in
urine
over
120
hours.
The
calculation
also
requires
the
addition
of
residue
values
from
all
five
sampling
intervals
(
i.
e.,
day
0,
day
1,
day
2,
day
3,
and
day
4).

·
Registrant
inhalation
exposure
estimates
are
based
on
a
breathing
rate
of
29
L/
min.
HED
inhalation
exposure
estimates
are
based
on
the
NAFTA
recommended
breathing
rate
of
16.7
L/
min
for
light
activities.

·
HED
is
concerned
about
the
methodology
used
to
 
adjust 
day
0
through
day
4
AZM
doses
by
subtracting
out
the
AZM
dose
measured
on
the
day
before
exposure
 
called
 
background
AZM 
in
the
study.
In
most
of
replicates
in
the
other
studies
and
in
the
enclosed
cab
portion
of
this
study,
the
background
AZM
is
at
or
near
the
LOD.
However,
only
three
of
the
replicates
in
the
open
cab
portion
of
this
study
had
background
levels
less
than
LOD.
In
the
rest
of
the
open­
cab
replicates,
the
 
background 
levels
are
higher
than
the
LOD
 
in
some
cases
substantially
higher
­
and
clearly
impact
the
resulting
AZM
doses.
Since
there
is
a
high
degree
of
uncertainty
about
the
pre­
study
AZM
exposures
experienced
by
the
handlers
in
this
study
 
there
are
five
study
deviations
where
handlers
did
not
have
the
minimum
14­
day
no­
exposure
period
and
three
instances
where
handler
replicates
were
thrown
out
due
to
unusually
high
 
background 
levels
of
AZM
 
the
more
protective
approach
might
be
to
not
adjust
for
 
background 
AZM
levels.

·
The
personal
protective
equipment
worn
by
handlers
in
the
open
cab
replicates
 
particularly
the
chemical­
resistant
suits
and
negative
pressure
respirators
 
presents
a
heat­
and
respiratory­
stress
concern.
The
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs 
Guide
to
Heat
Stress
in
Agriculture
indicates
that
persons
doing
light
work
in
chemical­
resistant
attire
should
work
only
30
minutes
out
of
each
hour
if
the
temperature
is
80
degrees
and
there
is
full
sun.
The
work
cycle
diminishes
to
15
minutes
at
85
degrees
and
full
sun
and
at
90
degrees
and
full
sun,
it
indicates
a
very
high
risk
of
heat­
related
illness
and
recommends
stopping
work.
Since
the
Worker
Protection
Standard
for
Agricultural
Pesticides
requires
employers
to
 
take
any
necessary
steps
to
prevent
heat
illness
while
PPE
is
being
worn, 
and
removed
all
requirements
for
chemical­
resistant
suits
from
pesticide
labels
for
routine
handling
tasks,
this
would
appear
to
make
the
use
of
chemical­
resistant
suits
for
routine
airblast
applications
in
open
cabs
impractical,
if
not
impossible,
during
the
summer
months
when
most
AZM
orchard
applications
take
place.

·
In
the
open
cab
replicates,
there
are
five
deviations
(
for
replicates
22,
23,
24,
25,
and
26)
indicating
that
the
handlers
in
those
replicates
did
not
have
the
minimum
14­
day
period
(
prior
to
testing)
in
which
the
volunteer
was
not
to
have
been
exposed
to
AZM.
Instead,
various
AZM­
free
exposure
days
are
reported
 
ranging
from
seven
exposure­
free
days
for
replicate
22
to
ten
exposure­
free
days
for
replicates
25
and
26.
After
the
data
were
analyzed,
the
study
authors
reported
that
three
of
the
open
cab
handlers
(
replicates
22,
28,
and
33)
had
 
obvious
exposure
to
AZM 
prior
to
the
study
onset
and
the
authors
did
not
include
data
from
these
three
replicates
in
when
they
analyzed/
summarized
the
open
cab
replicate
results.
No
explanation
is
given
as
to
why
replicates
28
and
33
might
have
high
background
levels
of
AZM.
Also,
by
throwing
out
the
three
replicates,
the
open
cab
portion
of
the
study
has
only
12
remaining
replicates.
    
20
  
39
·
In
the
open
cab
replicates,
handlers
wore
two
distinct
types
of
PPE.
Replicates
20
through
26
(
minus
22,
which
was
not
used)
wore
uncoated
Tyvek
coveralls
over
long­
sleeve
shirt
and
long
pants
and
some
type
of
chemical­
resistant
headgear,
whereas
replicates
27
through
34
(
minus
28
and
33,
which
were
not
used)
wore
over
their
long­
sleeve
shirt
and
long
pants
either
a
two­
piece
hooded
rubber
rainsuit
or
a
one­
piece
hooded
PVC­
coated
coverall.
Since
these
are
two
different
levels
of
personal
protective
equipment
 
double­
layer
body
protection
for
the
uncoated
Tyvek
versus
chemical­
resistant
suit
for
the
rainsuit
and
coated
Tyvek,
these
data
probably
should
be
analyzed
and
summarized
separately.

·
In
the
enclosed
cab
replicates
(
replicates
35
through
49),
all
of
the
cabs
are
listed
as
having
charcoal
filtration
systems,
except
replicates
45,
46,
47,
and
49.
However,
since
handlers
in
the
enclosed
cabs
that
did
not
list
charcoal
filtration
systems
were
apparently
not
wearing
respirators,
it
is
possible
that
all
the
enclosed
cabs
had
charcoal
filtration
systems.
Enclosed
cabs
with
charcoal
filtration
systems
are
quite
sophisticated
and
expensive
and
provide
both
dermal
and
inhalation
protection.
The
inexpensive
type
of
enclosed
cab
provides
dermal
protection
only.
HED
notes
that
the
enclosed
cabs
were
used
without
apparent
difficulty
in
apple
orchards
 
even
orchards
containing
the
smaller
hybrid
trees.
