Acifluorfen, sodium;
CASRN 62476-59-9
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 — Acifluorfen, sodium
CASRN — 62476-59-9
Primary Synonym — Tackle
Last Revised — 12/01/1988
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)
Rhone-Poulenc, Inc. 1986. MRID No. 00147978, 00155548. Available from EPA. Write to FOI, EPA, Washington, DC 20460.
The test material, technical grade tackle, was prepared weekly on a weight- per-weight basis to yield tackle concentrations of 0, 25, 500 and 2500 ppm. Diets were administered ad libitum to groups of 35 P1 rats/sex beginning at 47 days of age and continuing until sacrifice, and to groups of 40 F1 rats from weaning until sacrifice. The LEL and NOEL for parental toxicity of tackle was assessed at 500 ppm and 25 ppm, respectively, based on compound-related mortalities and increased incidence of kidney lesions at the 500 and 2500 ppm doses, and reduced body weights at the 2500-ppm dose. The LEL and NOEL for offspring toxicity were assessed at 500 ppm and 25 ppm, respectively, based on decreased viability and increased incidence of kidney lesions at the 500 and 2500 ppm doses, and reduced body weight at the 2500-ppm dose.
__I.A.3. Uncertainty and Modifying Factors (Oral RfD)
UF — An uncertainty factor of 100 was used to account for the inter- and intraspecies differences.
MF — None
__I.A.4. Additional Studies/Comments (Oral RfD)
None
Data Considered for Establishing the RfD:
1) 2-Generation Reproduction - rat: Principal study - see previous description; core grade minimum
2) 2-Year Feeding - dog: NOEL=300 ppm (7.5 mg/kg/day); LEL=4500 ppm (112.5 mg/kg/day) (increased leukocyte and platelet counts in males; decreased mean calcium, cholesterol and creatinine values in females); core grade supplementary (Rhone-Poulenc, Inc., 1983a)
3) 2-Year Feeding (oncogenic) - rat: NOEL=500 ppm (25 mg/kg/day); LEL=2500 ppm (elevated BUN and creatinine values in males and females; nephritis, pyelonephritis, and glomerulonephritis in males); core grade supplementary (Rhone-Poulenc, Inc., 1983b)
4) Teratology - rabbit: Maternal NOEL=36 mg/kg/day (HDT); Fetotoxic NOEL=36 mg/kg/day (HDT); Teratogenic NOEL=36 mg/kg/day (HDT); core grade minimum (Rhone-Poulenc, Inc., 1980)
5) Teratology - rat: Maternal NOEL=90 mg/kg/day; Maternal LEL=180 mg/kg/day (HDT) (lower body weight); Fetotoxic NOEL=20 mg/kg/day (LDT); Fetotoxic LEL=90 mg/kg/day (reduced fetal weight); Teratogenic NOEL=180 mg/kg/day (HDT); core grade guideline (Rhone-Poulenc, Inc., 1981)
Data Gap(s): Chronic Dog Feeding Study
__I.A.5. Confidence in the Oral RfD
Study — Medium
Database — Medium
RfD — Medium
The principal study is of fair quality and is given a medium confidence rating. Several supporting studies exist, but the database on chronic toxicity is incomplete; thus, the database is given a medium confidence rating. Medium confidence in the RfD follows.

Pesticide Registration Files
Agency Work Group Review — 09/29/1986, 12/16/1986
Verification Date — 12/16/1986
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 Acifluorfen, sodium, conducted in November 2001 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).
