Fipronil and its sulfone and amide constitute
greater than 75% of the identified residues in all studies.
•
Reproductive and developmental toxicity. The
developmental toxicity NOELs in the rat
and rabbit were 20 mg/kg/day (HDT) and 1 mg/kg/day
(HDT), respectively.
Maternal toxicity was observed in the rat at the HDT as evidenced
by decreased body weight gain
and food efficiency. In
the rabbit, the maternal
toxicity NOAEL was less than 0.1 mg/kg/day, based
on reduced body weight gain and food efficiency at
all dose levels tested. In a two-generation
rat study, the NOEL for parental
(systemic) toxicity was 3 ppm (0.26 mg/kg/day for both sexes
combined), based on increased weight of the thyroid
glands and liver in males and females,
decreased weight of the pituitary
gland in females, and an increased incidence
of follicular epithelial hypertrophy in females at
30 ppm. The NOEL for reproductive toxicity was 30 ppm
(2.64
mg/kg/day for both sexes combined), based on clinical
signs of toxicity in pups, decreased litter size, decreased
pup body weights, decreased mating, decreased fertility index,
reduced pre- and postnatal survival, and delays in physical
development at 300 ppm (26.03 and 28.40 mg/kg/day for
males and females, respectively).
• In
a developmental neurotoxicity study in the rat,
the NOAEL for maternal toxicity was
10 ppm (0.91 mg/kg/day), based on decreased body weights
and body weight gain at 200 ppm (HDT;
15 mg/kg/day). Considerable maternal toxicity at the
HDT prevented adequate neurotoxicity evaluation of pups at
this dose level. There was no evidence of neurotoxicity
at 10 ppm (0.91 mg/kg/day), which was the NOAEL for developmental
neurotoxicity. The NOAEL for general
developmental toxicity was 0.5 ppm (0.05 mg/kg/day), based
on systemic effects consisting of decreases
in pup weights during lactation and increases in time of preputial
separation in males at 10 ppm.
• Subchronic
toxicity. The
NOAEL for systemic toxicity in
rat was 5 ppm (0.35 mg/kg/day
for both sexes combined), based on alterations in serum
protein values and increased weight of the liver and thyroid
at 30 ppm (1.93 and 2.28 mg/kg/day for males and females,
respectively). The
NOAELs in the dog
were 2 and 0.5 mg/kg/day for male and
female, respectively, based on clinical signs of toxicity
in males at 10 mg/kg/day and clinical signs of toxicity and
decreased body weight gain in females at 2 mg/kg/day.
The NOAEL for mice was 10 ppm
(1.27 and 1.72 mg/kg/day for males and females, respectively),
based on a possible decreased body weight gain at 25 ppm (3.2
and 4.53 mg/kg/day for males and females, respectively). A
repeated dose dermal study in the rabbit
had a systemic NOAEL of 5 mg/kg/day, based on decreased
body weight gain and food consumption at 10 mg/kg/day,
and a dermal irritation NOEL of 10.0 mg/kg/day (HDT).
• Subchronic
neurotoxicity study in
rats,
the NOEL was 5 ppm (0.301 and 0.351 mg/kg/day for males and
females, respectively), based on results of the
functional observational battery (FOB) at 150 ppm (8.89
and 10.8 mg/kg/day for males and females, respectively).
•
Chronic toxicity. The
NOAEL for systemic toxicity in a 1-year feeding study in the
dog was 0.3 mg/kg/day in females and 1 mg/kg/day in
males, based on clinical signs of neurotoxicity at 1 and 2
mg/kg/day in females and males, respectively.
The NOAEL for systemic toxicity in mice
was 0.5 ppm (0.06 mg/kg/day) based on
decreased body weight gain, decreased food conversion efficiency
in males, increased liver weights, and liver histopathology
at 10 ppm (1.3 mg/kg/day). Fipronil was not
carcinogenic when administrated to mice
at dose levels up to 60 ppm. The NOAEL
in a 2-year dietary study in
the rat
was 0.5 ppm (0.019 and 0.025 mg/kg/day
for males and females, respectively) based on
clinical signs of toxicity and alterations in clinical chemistry
and thyroid parameters at 1.5 ppm (0.059
and 0.078 mg/kg/day for males and females, respectively).
• Cancer. The EPA's Health Effects
Division Carcinogenicity Peer Review Committee classified
fipronil in Group C - Possible
Human Carcinogen, based on thyroid tumors observed in rats
at 300 ppm (HDT). Mechanistic data indicate that these tumors
are related to a disruption in the thyroid-pituitary status
and are specific to the rat. In
addition, there was no apparent concern for mutagenic activity.
Thus, it was recommended that RfD methodology, i.e. non-linear
or threshold, be used for the estimation of human risk.
• Acute neurotoxicity. The
NOEL was 2 mg/kg, based on decreases in body weight gain and
food consumption
in males and females during the week following treatment,
decreases in locomotor activity, hind-limb
splay and rectal temperature
6-hour post dosing in males and females, and decreases
in the proportion of males with an immediate righting reflex
on days 7 and 14, at 12 mg/kg/day. In
a rat developmental
toxicity study, the NOEL was 1 mg/kg/day, based
on the slight increase in fetal and litter incidence
of reduced ossification of several bones at 2.5 mg/kg/day.
•
Subchronic toxicity. The
NOAEL in the rat was 3 ppm (0.18
and 0.21 mg/kg/day in males and females, respectively), based
on clinical signs of toxicity in both sexes and decreased
body weight and body weight gain in males at 10 ppm.
The NOEL for the mouse was 0.5
ppm (0.08
mg/kg/day), based on the aggressive
and irritable behavior with increased motor activity in males
at 2 ppm. The
NOEL for the dog was 9.5 ppm
(0.29 mg/kg/day), based on behavioral
changes in females at 35 ppm (1.05 mg/kg/day).
• The rat chronic/carcinogenicity
study was negative for carcinogenicity. The LOAEL for
females was 0.5 ppm (0.032 mg/kg/day), based on clinical signs
of toxicity. There was no NOEL established. For males, the
NOAEL was 2 ppm (0.098 mg/kg/day), based on clinical signs
of toxicity, and stomach and lung histopathology at 10 ppm
(0.497 mg/kg/day).
• Endocrine
disruption.
Data from the reproduction/ developmental toxicity and short-
and long-term repeated dose toxicity studies with fipronil
in the rat, rabbit, mouse, or dog, do not suggest any endocrine
disruption activity. This information is based on the absence
of any treatment-related effects from the histopathological
examination of reproductive organs as well as the absence
of possible effects on fertility, reproductive performance,
or any other aspect of reproductive function, or on growth
and development of the offspring. Evidence of offspring toxicity
was observed only in the presence of significant parental
toxicity. Fipronil disrupts the thyroid-pituitary
axis. However,
mechanistic studies have demonstrated that fipronil decreases
thyroid hormone levels in long-term studies via increased
clearance, rather than a direct effect on the thyroid. Concerns
related
to long-term exposure of fipronil are addressed in human risk
estimates, as the chronic RfD (0.0002 mg/kg/day) is based
on endpoints that include thyroid hormone related effects
in rats.
• Drinking Water. A
drinking water monitoring study for fipronil and relevant
metabolites in surface water from the corn growing regions
has been conducted (MRID 45526101).
The ground water values model by the EPA when the cotton use
was examined will also be used for comparison. The samples
were collected on regular intervals between April and August.
The water samples wereanalyzed for firponil and metabolites:
MB45950, MB46136, and MB46513.
• Post-application
exposure of children can occur from three scenarios:
(1) Incidental ingestion of fipronil pellets or granules;
(2) incidental ingestion of soil (hand to mouth) from fipronil
treated residential areas; and
(3) incidental ingestion (hand to mouth) of fipronil from
treated pets.

EPA denied three requests for Pesticide Emergency Exemptions.
•
Delaware
- Department of Agriculture
Denial: On April
28, 2004, EPA denied the use of fipronil
on potatoes
to control wireworms. This request was denied based on the
determination that the situation as described in the application
does
not meet the criteria for an emergency since growers are not
likely to
experience significant economic losses from wireworm infestations.
Further, the Agency also believes that the use of fipronil
will not
improve the economic conditions facing potato growers because
fipronil's performance against wireworms is just as erratic
as the
registered alternatives and its use will not result in any
improvement
in yield or quality. Contact: (Barbara Madden).

Announcement:
Longitudinal Study of Young Children's
Exposures in their Homes to Selected Pesticides, Phthalates,
Brominated Flame Retardants, and Perfluorinated Chemicals
(A Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study--CHEERS).
Abstract: The U.S. EPA's Office of Research and Development's
National Exposure Research Laboratory proposes to conduct
a two-year longitudinal field measurement study of young children's
(aged 0 to 3 years) potential exposures to current-use pesticides
and selected phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and
perfluorinated compounds that may be found in residential
environments. The study will be conducted in Duval County,
Jacksonville, Florida over a two-year period from 2004 to
2006. Sixty young children will be recruited into this study
in two cohorts: (1) infants recruited into the study soon
after birth, and, (2) children recruited into the study at
approximately 12 months of age.
