FOREWORD :; When energy and; material resources are extracted, processed, converted, and used, the related :pollutional impacts on our environment and even on our health often require, that new and increasingly more efficient pollution con- trol methods be used. The Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory- Cincinnati (lERL^Ci) assists in developing and demonstrating new and im- proved methodologies that will meet these«needs both efficiently and economically. This report is one of a three-volume series dealing with a group of hazardous chemical compounds known as dioxins. The extreme toxicity of one of these chemicals, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), has been a concern of both scientific researchers and the public for many years. The sheer mass of published information that has resulted from this concern has created difficulties in assessing the overall scope of the dioxin problem. In this report series the voluminous data on 2,3,7,8-TCDD and other dioxins are summarized and assembled in a manner that allows compari- son of related observations from many sources; thus, the series serves as a comprehensive guide in evaluation of the environmental hazards of dioxins. Volume I is a state-of-the-art review of dioxin literature. Detailed information is presented on the chemistry, sources, degradation, transport, disposal, and health effects of dioxins. Accounts of public and occupa- tional exposure to dioxins are also included. Volume II details the devel- opment of a new analytical method for detecting part-per-trillion levels of dioxins in industrial wastes. It also includes a review of the analytical literature on methods of detecting dioxins in various types of environmental samples. Volume III identifies various routes of formation of dioxins in addition to the classical route of the hydrolysis of chlorophenols. The possible presence of dioxins in basic organic chemicals and pesticides is addressed, and production locations for these materials are identified.

Stephan Director Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory Cincinnati m PREFACE This report is Volume III in a series of three reports dealing with a group of hazardous chemical compounds known as dioxins. This volume details the chemistry of dioxin formation, and identifies the types of organic chemicals and pesticides which may have dioxins associated with them as impurities or byproducts. Other volumes of this series examine the occur- rence, environmental transport, toxicity, and disposal of this class of compounds, analytical techniques used to identify dioxins, and commercial products with potential for containing dioxin contaminants. An extensive body of published literature has appeared during the past 25 years that has been concerned primarily with one extremely toxic member of this class of compounds, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Often described in both popular and technical literature as "TCDD" or simply "dioxin," this compound is one of the most toxic substances known to science. This report series is concerned not only with this compound, but also with all of its chemical relatives that contain the dioxin nucleus. Throughout these reports, the term "TCDD's" is used to indicate the family of 22 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin isomers, whereas the term "dioxin" is used to indicate any compound with the basic dioxin nucleus. The most toxic isomer among those that have been assessed is specifically designated as "2,3,7,8-TCDD." The objective in the use of these terms is to clarify a point of tech- nical confusion that has occasionally hindered comparison of information from various sources. In particular, early laboratory analyses often re- ported the presence of "TCDD," which may have been the most-toxic 2,3,7,8-isomer or may have been a mixture of several of the tetrachloro isomers, some of which are relatively nontoxic. Throughout this report series, the specific term 2,3,7,8-TCDD is used when it was the intent of the investigator to refer to this most-toxic isomer. Since early analytical methods could not dependably isolate specific isomers from environmental samples, the generic term "TCDD's" is used when this term appears to be most appropriate in light of present technology. IV ABSTRACT Concern about potential contamination of products and wastes by dibenzo-p-dioxins in the production of organic chemicals and pesticides is the reason for this study of products and processes subject to such contam- ination. In addition, speculative consideration is given to other possible dioxin sources. Chemical reaction mechanisms by which dioxins may be formed are reviewed, particularly those likely to occur within commercially significant processes. Various routes of formation are identified in addition to the classical route of the hydrolysis of trichlorophenol. Basic organic chemicals and pesticides with a reasonable potential for dioxin byproduct contamination are surveyed as to current and past producers and production locations. Classifications are presented both for general organic chemicals and for pesticides that indicate likelihood of dioxin formation. Conditions are noted that are most likely to promote dioxin formation in various processes. This report was submitted in fulfillment of Contract No. 68-03-2579, by Walk, Haydel & Associates, Inc., under the sponsorship of the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency. This report covers the period October 31, 1978, to March 16, 1980, and work was completed as of March 16, 1980.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION * A survey conducted in 1974 by the Michigan Department oc Natural Re- sources (DNR) indicated severe contamination of the Pine River sediments in ** the St. Louis, Michigan Reservoir and below the Velsicol Chemical Corpo- ration (VCC) plant site. Several organic compounds were identified in the study including: DOT and associated analogs (total DOT: 293 mg/kg), phthalates (19.5 mg/kg), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB : 9.0 mg/kg), and oils (19,000 mg/kg). Flesh analyses of Pine River fish showed high levels of PBB (0.87 mg/kg), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB 1254: 1.99 mg/kg), and total DOT (1.65 mg/kg). A Michigan Department of Public Health warning against consumption of Pine River fish from St. Louis 60 km downstream to the confluence with the Chippewa River was issued in November 1974, because of PBB contamination. This warning was renewed in 1976 and still remains in effect. A In a publication dated June 15, 1979, concerning the contaminated Pine River the Michigan DNR recommended the following: (1) The St.

  • Appendix a Analysis of Products with Two Or More Active Ingredients
    APPENDIX A ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTS WITH TWO OR MORE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS The Agency does not routinely include, in its risk assessments, an evaluation of mixtures of active ingredients, either those mixtures of multiple active ingredients in product formulations or those in the applicator’s tank. In the case of the product formulations of active ingredients (that is, a registered product containing more than one active ingredient), each active ingredient is subject to an individual risk assessment for regulatory decision regarding the active ingredient on a particular use site. If effects data are available for a formulated product containing more than one active ingredient, they may be used qualitatively or quantitatively1 2. There are no product LD50 values, with associated 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) available for glyphosate. As discussed in USEPA (2000) a quantitative component-based evaluation of mixture toxicity requires data of appropriate quality for each component of a mixture. In this mixture evaluation an LD50 with associated 95% CI is needed for the formulated product. The same quality of data is also required for each component of the mixture. Given that the formulated products for glyphosate do not have LD50 data available it is not possible to undertake a quantitative or qualitative analysis for potential interactive effects. However, because the active ingredients are not expected to have similar mechanisms of action, metabolites, or toxicokinetic behavior, it is reasonable to conclude that an assumption of dose-addition would be inappropriate. Consequently, an assessment based on the toxicity of glyphosate is the only reasonable approach that employs the available data to address the potential acute risks of the formulated products.

In this research the microbial biodegradation of aclonifen was investigated using liquid and soil experiments with identified cultures and mixed consortia. Isolated fungi and bacteria consortia showed the highest degradation at 93% of the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) parameter over five days. Bacteria mix and fungi mix performed 90% and 91% degradation in five days, as COD, while 71% and 91% were active ingredients. For Total Organic Carbon (TOC) experimental results, bacteria mix, fungi mix, and bacteria and fungi mix, showed 86%, 88% and 88% respectively. Soil studies with mixed cultures of bacteria and fungi performed the most efficient degradation, at 97% after five weeks. The degradation of aclonifen by 2 ml mixed cultures showed about 63% of degradation in five weeks and 5 ml of mixed cultures showed about 90% in six weeks. Keywords: microbial biodegradation, aclonifen, mixed consortia, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon Introduction One of the main factors of environmental pollution is the excessive use of chemicals and pesticides, used on a global scale, to increase production and for the protection of crops.

DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 78-174 PREFACE The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 emphasizes the need for standards to protect the health and provide for the safety of workers occupationally exposed to an ever-increasing number of potential hazards. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has implemented a formal system of research, with priorities determined on the basis of specified indices, to provide relevant data from which valid criteria for effective standards can be derived. Recommended standards for occupational exposure, which are the result of this work, are based on the effects of exposure on health. The Secretary of Labor will weigh these recommendations along with other considerations, such as feasibility and means of implementation, in developing regulatory standards. Successive reports will be presented as research and epideiriologic studies are completed and as sampling and analytical methods are developed. Criteria and standards will be reviewed periodically to ensure continuing protection of workers.
