Bidrin; CASRN 141-66-2  


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 -- Bidrin CASRN -- 141-66-2 Last Revised -- 11/01/1989 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.1. ORAL RfD SUMMARY Critical Effect Experimental Doses* UF MF RfD -------------------- ----------------------- ----- --- --------- Decreased pup NOEL: 2 ppm diet 1000 1 1E-4 survival (0.1 mg/kg/day) mg/kg/day 3-Generation Rat LEL: 5 ppm diet Reproduction Study (0.25 mg/kg/day) Shell Chemical, 1965a
*Conversion Factors: 1 ppm = 0.05 mg/kg/day (assumed rat food consumption) ___I.A.2. PRINCIPAL AND SUPPORTING STUDIES (ORAL RfD) Shell Chemical Company. 1965a. MRID No. 00013446, 00066340. Available from EPA. Write to FOI, EPA, Washington, DC 20460. Bidrin was dissolved in water and mixed with powdered rat food to produce concentrations of 2, 5, 15, and 50 ppm. The study was conducted in two parts. In part one, weanling Long-Evans rats were assigned (10 males and 20 females) to groups receiving 0, 5, 15, or 50 ppm bidrin. In part two, weanling Long- Evans rats were assigned (10 males and 20 females) to groups receiving 0 and 2 ppm bidrin. Sections of brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, and testes were preserved for histologic examination. Reproductive toxicity (decreased pup survival) was observed at 5 ppm. Other effects (weakness, emaciation, and CNS effects) were seen at 50 ppm. No effects were observed at 2 ppm. ___I.A.3. UNCERTAINTY AND MODIFYING FACTORS (ORAL RfD) UF -- An uncertainty factor of 1000 was used to account for the inter- and intraspecies differences, and to account for the fact that the chronic toxicity data base is incomplete. MF -- None ___I.A.4. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS (ORAL RfD) Data Considered for Establishing the RfD: 1) 3-Generation Reproduction - rat: Principal study - see previous description; core grade supplementary 2) 2-Year Feeding (oncogenic) - rat: ChE NOEL=none; ChE LEL=0.05 mg/kg/day (plasma ChE inhibition); core grade supplementary; interim report (Shell Chemical, 1967a) 3) 2-Year Feeding - dog ChE NOEL=0.04 mg/kg/day; ChE LEL=0.4 mg/kg/day (RCB and plasma ChE inhibition); core grade supplementary; interim report (Shell Chemical, 1967b) 4) Teratology - rat: Embryotoxic NOEL=2.5 mg/kg/day; Embryotoxic LEL=5 mg/kg/day (decreased implantation sites); core grade supplementary; preliminary report (Shell Chemical, 1965b) 5) Teratology - rabbit: Maternal NOEL=4 mg/kg/day; Maternal LEL=8 mg/kg/day (salivation and tremors); no core grade (Shell Chemical, 1973) Data Gap(s): Chronic Rat Feeding Study; Chronic Dog Feeding Study; Rat Reproduction Study; Rat Teratology Study; Rabbit Teratology Study ___I.A.5. CONFIDENCE IN THE ORAL RfD Study -- Low Data Base -- Low RfD -- Low The principal study is of low quality and is given a low confidence rating. Additional studies are also of low quality and, therefore, the data base is given a low confidence rating. Low confidence in the RfD follows. ___I.A.6. EPA DOCUMENTATION AND REVIEW OF THE ORAL RfD Pesticide Data Evaluation Record and Registration Standard Agency Work Group Review -- 08/19/1986, 09/02/1986 Verification Date -- 08/19/1986 ___I.A.7.
