RIVM Report 340701002 Abstract Young animals are more sensitive than adult animals to benzo[a]pyrene-induced genotoxic stress Experimental animals are more sensitive at a young age to the adverse effects induced upon benzo[a]pyrene exposure compared to adult animals. In research performed at the RIVM, higher amounts of DNA damage were observed when benzo[a]pyrene was given to experimental animals at a young age. Usually, potential adverse human health effects of environmental chemicals are evaluated in toxicity studies using adult laboratory animals. Children and adults, however, may differ in sensitivity to these adverse effects. Benzo[a]pyrene is commonly found in grilled and broiled foods, tobacco smoke and automobile exhaust fumes.

  • TCEQ Guidelines to Develop 24-Hour Inhalation Reference Values
    White Paper Final, June 16, 2014 TCEQ Guidelines to Develop 24-Hour Inhalation Reference Values Office of the Executive Director ___________________________________________________________ TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 24-Hour Inhalation Reference Values Page i Document Description and Intended Use This document provides guidelines to develop chemical-specific 24-h reference values (ReVs). It is a supplement to the TCEQ Regulatory Guidance-442 (RG-442), TCEQ Guidelines to Develop Toxicity Factors. For chemicals evaluated in the TCEQ ambient air monitoring network, acute 1-h ReVs and chronic ReVs have generally been derived to evaluate 1-h measured concentrations of chemicals of interest or calculated annual average concentrations, respectively. These averaging times correspond to averaging times evaluated in air permitting. However, 24-h ambient air samples (e.g., 24-h canister samples collected every 3rd or 6th day) may be collected for special projects and also at permanent monitoring sites to calculate annual averages for comparison to chronic ReVs. A 24-h sample is an acute exposure duration significantly longer than 1-hr. Toxic effects induced by 24-h exposure may be governed by modes of action somewhat different than those influencing toxicity due to 1-h or chronic exposure. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use a short-term, 1-h ReV or long-term ReV to evaluate a 24-h ambient air sample. Thus, the development of a 24-h ReV would allow the TCEQ to fully evaluate 24-h air monitoring data for possible health concerns and could be used for risk communication purposes. In addition, this information is helpful to risk assessors for performing health effects reviews when 24-h air monitoring data exceed chronic ReVs.

  • Toxin Types, Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics
    Chapter 16: Toxin types, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics Andrew Humpage1,2,3 1Australian Water Quality Centre, PMB 3, Salisbury, Adelaide, SA 5108, Australia. 2Discipline of Pharmacology, School of Medical Sciences, Uni- versity of Adelaide, SA 5005, Australia. 3Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality and Treatment, PMB 3, Salisbury, Adelaide, SA 5108, Aus- tralia. Introduction Cyanobacteria produce a wide array of bioactive secondary metabolites (see Table A.1 in Appendix A), some which are toxic (Namikoshi and Rinehart 1996; Skulberg 2000). Those toxic to mammals include the mi- crocystins, cylindrospermopsins, saxitoxins, nodularins, anatoxin-a, ho- moanatoxin-a, and anatoxin-a(s). It has been recently suggested that β- methylamino alanine (BMAA) may be a new cyanobacterial toxin (Cox et al. 2003; Cox et al. 2005). The public health risks of cyanotoxins in drink- ing water have recently been reviewed (Falconer and Humpage 2005b). The aim of this paper is to concisely review our current knowledge of their acute toxicity, mechanisms of action, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. Microcystins Microcystins (MCs) are a group of at least 80 variants based on a cyclic heptapeptide structure (Fig. 1). All toxic microcystin structural variants contain a unique hydrophobic amino acid, 3-amino-9-methoxy-10-phenyl- 2,6,8-trimethyl-deca-4(E),6(E)-dienoic acid (ADDA). The prototype- compound is MC-LR, which has leucine and arginine at the two hypervari- able positions in the ring structure (X and Y, respectively, in Fig. 1). Sub- 384 A. Humpage stitution of other amino acids at these sites, or methylation of residues at other sites, leads to wide structural variability (Namikoshi et al.

Reference Dose/Concentration: HED/Total UF = 3.08/30 = 0.10 mg/kg-d (CD-1 mice) Source of toxicity value: Determined by MDH in 2019 Point of Departure (POD): 22 mg/kg-d (NOAEL; Hsieh, 1989) Dose Adjustment Factor (DAF): 0.14, Body weight scaling, default (USEPA, 2011b) (MDH, 2017) Human Equivalent Dose (HED): POD x DAF = 22 mg/kg-d x 0.14 = 3.08 mg/kg-d Total uncertainty factor (UF): 30 Uncertainty factor allocation: 3 for interspecies differences (for toxicodynamics) and 10 for intraspecies variability Critical effect(s): Immunosuppression Co-critical effect(s): behavior changes due to nervous system effects, neurotransmitter level changes in the brain, changes in immune response Additivity endpoint(s): Immune system, Nervous system Subchronic Non-Cancer Health-Based Value (nHBVSubchronic) = nHBVShort-term = 70 µg/L (Reference Dose, mg/kg-d) x (Relative Source Contribution) x (Conversion Factor) (Subchronic Intake Rate, L/kg-d) Toluene - 1 = (0.18 mg/kg-d) x (0.2)* x (1000 µg/mg) (0.074 L/kg-d)** = 486 rounded to 500 µg/L *Relative Source Contribution: MDH 2008, Section IV.E.1.
