Chlorpropham;
CASRN 101-21-3
Health assessment information on a chemical substance is included in IRIS
only after a comprehensive review of chronic toxicity data by U.S. EPA
health scientists from several Program Offices and the Office of Research
and Development. The summaries presented in Sections I and II represent
a consensus reached in the review process. Background information and
explanations of the methods used to derive the values given in IRIS are
provided in the Background Documents.

_I. Chronic Health Hazard Assessments for Noncarcinogenic Effects
_I.A. Reference Dose for Chronic Oral Exposure (RfD)
Substance Name — Chlorpropham
CASRN — 101-21-3
Primary Synonym — CIPC
Last Revised — 06/30/1988
The oral Reference Dose (RfD) is based on the assumption that thresholds
exist for certain toxic effects such as cellular necrosis. It is expressed
in units of mg/kg-day. In general, the RfD is an estimate (with uncertainty
spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily exposure to the human
population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without
an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. Please refer
to the Background Document for an elaboration of these concepts. RfDs
can also be derived for the noncarcinogenic health effects of substances
that are also carcinogens. Therefore, it is essential to refer to other
sources of information concerning the carcinogenicity of this substance.
If the U.S. EPA has evaluated this substance for potential human carcinogenicity,
a summary of that evaluation will be contained in Section II of this file.

__I.A.2. Principal and Supporting Studies (Oral RfD)
PPG Industries, Inc. 1983a. MRID No. 00129545, 00125691. Available from EPA. Write to FOI, EPA, Washington, DC 20460.
CIPC doses of 0, 1000, 3000, and 10,000 ppm were administered in the diet to CD (Sprague-Dawley derived) rats. Dosing began with F0 weanlings and proceeded throughout the study. The F0 animals (60 males and 120 females; 15 males, 30 females per group) were dosed for 14 weeks prior to mating and during the mating, gestation, and lactation periods (total of 164 to 165 days). The F0 rats were sacrificed after weaning the F1 generation. From the weanlings, 180 (15 males, 30 females per group) were selected to produce the F2 generation. Nearly all effects were observed at the two highest dose levels. At 3000 ppm the following effects were observed: slow weight gain; microscopic lesions in kidneys, spleen, liver and marrow; gross splenic lesions; organ weight changes in the liver and spleen.
Measurements of cholinesterase levels in the brain, plasma, and erythrocytes of the F1 rats did not reveal any significant changes.
__I.A.3. Uncertainty and Modifying Factors (Oral RfD)
UF — An uncertainty factor of 100 was used to account for inter- and intraspecies differences. An additional UF of 3 was used to account for the lack of an adequate database for chronic toxicity.
MF — None
__I.A.4. Additional Studies/Comments (Oral RfD)
Data Considered for Establishing the RfD:
1) 2-Generation Reproduction - rat: Principal study - see previous description; core grade guideline
2) 1-Year Feeding - dog: NOEL=0.2%, 2000 ppm, (50 mg/kg/day); LEL=2%, 20,000 ppm (500 mg/kg/day) (anorexia, decreased weight gain, decreased hematocrit and hemoglobin values, and elevated spleen and liver weights); core grade supplementary (Columbia-Sourthern Chemical Corp., 1959a)
3) 2-Year Feeding - rat: NOEL=0.2%, 2000 ppm (100 mg/kg/day); LEL=2%, 20,000 ppm (1000 mg/kg/day) (decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit values, increased liver and spleen weight ratios, and increased mortality in male rats); core grade supplementary (Columbia-Sourthern Chemical Corp., 1959b)
4) 90-Day Feeding - rat: NOEL=17 mg/kg/day; LEL=63 mg/kg/day (increased liver body weight ratios); core grade supplementary (PPG Industries, 1954)
5) Teratology - rat: Maternal NOEL=100 mg/kg/day; LEL=350 mg/kg/day (pale extremities and enlarged darkened spleens); core grade guideline (PPG Industries, 1981)
6) Teratology - rabbit: Fetotoxic NOEL=125 mg/kg/day; LEL=250 mg/kg/day (increased resorption); core grade guideline (PPG Industries, 1983b)
Data Gap(s): Chronic Rat Feeding Study; Chronic Dog Feeding Study; 90-Day Rat Feeding Study; 90-Day Dog Feeding Study; Oncogenicity Studies (two species)
__I.A.5. Confidence in the Oral RfD
Study — High
Database — Medium
RfD — Medium
The critical study is of good quality and is given a high confidence rating. Since the existing database on chronic toxicity is incomplete, the database is given a medium confidence rating. Medium confidence in the RfD follows.
__I.A.6. EPA Documentation and Review of the Oral RfD
Source Document — This assessment is not presented in any existing U.S. EPA document.
Other EPA Documentation — Pesticide Registration Files
Agency Work Group Review — 08/12/1987
Verification Date — 08/12/1987
Screening-Level Literature Review Findings — A screening-level review conducted by an EPA contractor of the more recent toxicology literature pertinent to the RfD for Chlorpropham conducted in August 2003 identified one or more significant new studies. IRIS users may request the references for those studies from the IRIS Hotline at hotline.iris@epa.gov or 202-566-1676.
__I.A.7. EPA Contacts (Oral RfD)
Please contact the IRIS Hotline for all questions concerning this assessment or IRIS, in general, at (202)566-1676 (phone), (202)566-1749 (FAX) or hotline.iris@epa.gov (internet address).
