the
Agency?
Do
not
submit
information
that
you

An

of
toxic

caused
by
cyprodinil
is
discussed
in
Unit
III.
A.
and
Unit
III.
B.
of

dated
June

2001
(

(
FRL

7).
1.
Animal
metabolism.
The
metabolism
of
cyprodinil
in
rats
is
adequately
understood.
2.
Metabolite
toxicology.
The
residues
of
concern
for
tolerance
setting
purposes
is
the
parent
compound.
Based
on
structural
similarities
to
genotoxic
nucleotide
analogs,
there
was
concern
that
the
pryimidine
metabolites
(
CGA
 
249287,
NOA
 
422054)
may
be
more
toxic
than
the
parent
compound.
However,
EPA's
review
indicates
similar
results
in
acute
oral
and
mutagenicity
studies
with
both
the
parent
compound
and
the
CGA
 
249287
metabolite.
EPA
concluded
that
the
toxicity
of
the
CGA
 
249287
and
NOA
 
422054
metabolites
is
no
greater
than
that
of
the
parent,
conditional
on
submission
and
review
of
confirmatory
data
of
an
acute
oral
toxicity
study
and
bacterial
reverse
mutation
assay
for
the
NOA
 
422054
metabolite.
Although,
the
metabolites
CGA
 
232449
and
CGA
 
263208
were
determined
to
be
of
potential
toxicological
concern,
there
are
not
expected
to
be
more
toxic
than
cyprodinil
per
se.
3.
Endocrine
disruption.
Cyprodinil
does
not
belong
to
a
class
of
chemicals
known
or
suspected
of
having
adverse
effects
on
the
endocrine
system.
Developmental
toxicity
studies
in
rats
and
rabbits
and
a
reproduction
study
in
rats
gave
no
indication
that
cyprodinil
might
have
any
effects
on
endocrine
function
related
to
development
and
reproduction.
The
chronic
studies
also
showed
no
evidence
of
a
long­
term
effect
related
to
the
endocrine
system.

C.
Aggregate
Exposure
1.
Dietary
exposure.
A
Tier
III
acute
and
chronic
dietary
exposure
evaluation
was
made
using
the
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
(
DEEMTM),
version
7.76
from
exponent.
All
consumption
data
for
these
assessments
were
taken
from
the
USDA's
Continuing
Survey
of
Food
Intake
by
Individuals
(
CSFII)
with
the
1994
 
96
consumption
data
base
and
the
Supplemental
CSFII
children's
survey
(
1998)
consumption
data
base.
These
exposure
assessments
included
all
registered
uses
and
pending
uses
on
watercress,
bushberries,
caneberries,
juneberries,
ligonberries,
pistachios,
and
salal.
i.
Food
 
a.
Acute
exposure.
Acute
dietary
risk
assessments
are
performed
for
a
food­
use
pesticide
if
a
toxicological
study
has
indicated
the
possibility
of
an
effect
of
concern
occurring
as
a
result
of
a
1
day
or
single
exposure.
EPA
has
not
conducted
an
acute
dietary
risk
assessment
since
no
toxicological
endpoint
of
concern
was
identified
during
the
review
of
the
available
data.
b.
Chronic
exposure.
Percent
of
crop
treated
values
were
estimated
based
upon
economic,
pest
and
competitive
pressures.
The
values
used
in
these
assessments
were:
(
Almonds,
pome
fruits,
stone
fruits
and
grapes),
100%;
onions
9%;
strawberries
42%;
watercress,
95%;
berries,
13%;
pistachios,
herbs,
80%;
crop
group
5A
and
5B,
carrots,
turnip,
greens,
lychee,
longan
and
Spanish
lime,
10%.
ii.
Drinking
water.
Estimated
Environmental
Concentrations
(
EECs)
of
cyprodinil
in
drinking
water
were
determined
by
EPA.
EPA
groundwater
model
Screening
Concentration
in
Groundwater
(
SCI­
GROW)
was
used
to
determine
acute
and
chronic
estimated
environmental
concentrations
in
ground
water
and
the
Agency's
surface
water
model,
EPA's
pesticide
root
zone
model/
exposure
analysis
modeling
system
(
PRZM/
EXAMS)
was
used
to
determine
acute
and
chronic
EECs
estimated
environmental
concentrations
in
surface
water.
Based
on
the
model
outputs,
the
EEC
cyprodinil
are
0.04
parts
per
billion
(
ppb)
for
acute
and
chronic
exposure
to
ground
water
and
32
ppb
and
6
ppb
for
acute
and
chronic
exposure,
respectively,
to
surface
water.
2.
Non­
dietary
exposure.
There
is
a
potential
residential
post­
application
exposure
to
adults
and
children
entering
residential
areas
treated
with
cyprodinil.
Since
the
Agency
did
not
select
a
short­
term
endpoint
for
dermal
exposure,
only
intermediate
dermal
exposures
were
considered.
Based
on
the
residential
use
pattern,
no
long­
term
post­
application
residential
exposure
is
expected.

D.
Cumulative
Effects
Section
408(
b)(
2)(
D)(
v)
requires
that,
when
considering
whether
to
establish,
modify,
or
revoke
a
tolerance,
the
Agency
consider
``
available
information''
concerning
the
cumulative
effects
of
a
particular
pesticide's
residues
and
``
other
substances
that
have
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity.''
EPA
does
not
have,
at
this
time,
available
data
to
determine
whether
cyprodinil
has
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
with
other
substances
or
how
to
include
this
pesticide
in
a
cumulative
risk
assessment.
For
the
purposes
of
this
tolerance
action,
EPA
has
not
assumed
that
cyprodinil
has
a
common
mechanism
of
toxicity
with
other
substances.

E.
Safety
Determination
The
chronic
dietary
exposure
analysis
(
food
only)
showed
that
exposure
from
all
established
and
proposed
cyprodinil
uses
would
be
7.48%
of
the
chronic
reference
dose
(
cRfD)
for
the
most
sensitive
subpopulation,
children
1
 
2
years
old.
EPA
has
determined
that
reliable
data
support
using
the
standard
margin
of
exposure
(
MOE)
and
uncertainty
factor
(
100
for
combined
interspecies
and
intraspecies
variability)
for
cyprodinil
and
that
an
additional
safety
factor
of
10
is
not
necessary
to
be
protective
of
infants
and
children.
Acute
Drinking
Water
Levels
of
Comparison
(
DWLOC)
were
calculated
based
on
an
acute
populated
adjusted
dose
(
aPAD)
of
1.5
milligrams/
kilogram/
day.
For
the
acute
assessment,
the
females
(
13
 
50
years)
subpopulation
generated
an
acute
DWLOC
of
approximately
44,600
ppb.
The
acute
EEC
of
32
ppb
is
considerably
less
than
44,600
ppb.
For
the
chronic
assessment,
the
children
1
 
2
years
old
subpopulation
generated
the
lowest
chronic
DWLOC
of
approximately
280
ppb.
Thus,
the
chronic
DWLOC
of
280
ppb
is
considerably
higher
than
the
chronic
EEC
of
6
ppb.
Syngenta
has
considered
the
potential
aggregate
exposure
from
food,
water
and
non­
occupational
exposure
routes
and
concluded
that
aggregate
exposure
is
not
expected
to
exceed
100%
of
the
chronic
reference
dose
and
that
there
is
a
reasonable
certainty
that
no
harm
will
result
to
infants
and
children
from
the
aggregate
exposure
to
cyprodinil.
