Thiobencarb;
CASRN 28249-77-6
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 — Thiobencarb
CASRN — 28249-77-6
Last Revised — 01/01/1992
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.

Chevron Chemical Company. 1984a. MRID No. 00148570, 00150139, 00150894, 00154506, 92182035; HED Doc. No. 004291, 004556. Available from EPA. Write to FOI, EPA, Washington, DC 20460.
Thiobencarb was administered to rats (60 per sex/dose) in the diet for 2 years at 0, 20, l00, and 500. Significant decreases in food consumption and body weight gains as well as increases in BUN levels were observed at the two highest dosage levels (l00 and 500 ppm). The systemic NOEL was established at 20 ppm (l mg/kg/day; lowest dose tested).
__I.A.3. Uncertainty and Modifying Factors (Oral RfD)
UF — Based on a chronic exposure study, an uncertainty factor of l00 was used to account for inter- and intraspecies differences. Although the reproduction study is low quality, a new rat reproduction study is not expected to provide a more sensitive toxicological endpoint.
MF — None
__I.A.4. Additional Studies/Comments (Oral RfD)
Data Considered for Establishing the RfD:
l) 2-Year Feeding/Oncogenic - rat: Principal study - see previous description; core grade minimum
2) l-Year Feeding - dog: NOEL=8 mg/kg/day; LEL=64 mg/kg/day (significant alterations in hematology and kidney and liver weights); Plasma ChE NOEL=1 mg/kg/day; Plasma LEL=8 mg/kg/day; core grade minimum (Chevron Chemical Co., 1985)
3) Teratology - rat: Maternal NOEL=25 mg/kg/day; Maternal LEL=l50 mg/kg/day (decreased body weights); Fetotoxic NOEL=25 mg/kg/day; Fetoxic LEL=125 mg/kg (runting, lower body weights); teratogenic NOEL=150 mg/kg/day (HDT); LEL=none; core grade guideline (Chevron Chemical Co., 1981)
4) 2-Generation Reproduction - rat: NOEL=2 mg/kg/day; LEL=l0 mg/kg/day (increased swelling of the centrilobular hepatocytes); core grade supplementary (Chevron Chemical Co., 1984b)
5) Teratology - rabbit: Data inadequate to determine NOEL or LEL (supplementary) (Chevron Chemical Co., 1983)
Data Gap(s): Rat Reproduction Study; Rabbit Teratology Study
__I.A.5. Confidence in the Oral RfD
Study — Medium
Database — Medium
RfD — Medium
The study on which the RfD is based is of good quality and of sufficient duration (2 years) for species tested (rats); it garners a medium confidence rating. In addition, there are generally good toxicology studies available (l-year dog, teratology rat, and oncogenicity mouse); but the lack of acceptable reproductive and second species teratology studies indicates a medium confidence in the database. Medium confidence in the RfD follows.

Pesticide Registration Files
Agency Work Group Review — 08/05/1986, 04/15/1987
Verification Date — 04/15/1987
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 Thiobencarb conducted in September 2002 did not identify any critical new studies. IRIS users who know of important new studies may provide that information to 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).
