16. ABSTRACT
   This report  summarizes and evaluates information relevant to a preliminary  interim
 assessment  of  adverse health effects associated with specific chemicals or  compounds.
 The Office  of  Emergency and Remedial Response (Superfund) uses these documents  in
 preparing cost-benefit analyses under Executive Order 12991 for decision-making under
 CERCLA.  All estimates of acceptable intakes  and carcinogenic potency presented in
 this document  should be considered as preliminary and reflect limited resources
 allocated to this  project.  The intent in 'these assessments is to suggest acceptable
 exposure levels  whenever sufficient data are  available.  The interim values presented
 reflect the relative degree of hazard associated with exposure or risk to the
 chemical(s) addressed.  Whenever possible,  two categories of values have been
 estimated for  systemic toxicants (toxicants for which cancer is not the endpoint of
 concern).   The first, RfD$ or subchronic reference dose, is an estimate of  an exposure
 level that  would not be expected to cause adverse effects when exposure occurs  during
 a limited time interval.  The RfD is an estimate of an exposure level that  would not
 be expected to cause adverse effects when exposure occurs for a significant portion
 of the lifespan.   For compounds for which there is sufficient evidence of
 carcinogen!city, qi*s have been computed, if  appropriate, based on oral and
 inhalation  data  if available.

    This report  summarizes  and evaluates Information relevant  to  a prelimi-
nary  Interim  assessment of  adverse health  effects associated  with selected
fully  halogenated  methanes.    All  estimates   of  acceptable   Intakes  and
carcinogenic  potency   presented  In  this document should  be  considered  as
preliminary   reflecting  limited   resources   allocated  to  this   project.
Pertinent  toxlcologlc  and  environmental  data were  located through  on line
literature  searches  of the  Chemical  Abstracts,  TOXLINE, CANCERLINE  and  the
CHEMFATE/DATALOG data  bases.   The  basic  literature  searched  supporting this
document  1s current up to  March,  1986.   Secondary  sources  of  Information
have  also  been  relied   upon  1n  the preparation of this  report  and represent
large scale health  assessment  efforts that  entail extensive  peer  and Agency
review.  The  following Office  of Health  and  Environmental  Assessment (OHEA)

    The Intent In these assessments  1s  to suggest  acceptable  exposure levels
for   noncarclnogens  and  risk   cancer   potency   estimates   for  carcinogens
whenever sufficient data were  available.  Values were  not  derived  or larger
uncertainty factors  were employed  when  the  variable  data were  limited  In
scope  tending   to   generate  conservative   (I.e.,   protective)   estimates.
Nevertheless,  the  Interim  values  presented  reflect  the relative  degree  of
hazard or risk associated with  exposure to the chemlcal(s)  addressed.
                                      111

-------
    Whenever  possible,  two  categories  of  values  have  been  estimated  for
systemic  toxicants  (toxicants  for  which  cancer   1s  not  the  endpolnt  of
concern).  The  first,  RfD$ (formerly AIS)  or  subchronlc reference dose,  Is
an estimate of an  exposure level  that would not  be  expected  to cause  adverse
effects  when  exposure  occurs during  a limited  time  Interval  (I.e.,   for  an
Interval  that  does not constitute  a significant portion of  the  Hfespan).
This type of  exposure  estimate  has  not been extensively  used,  or  rigorously
defined,  as  previous risk  assessment efforts have  been primarily directed
towards  exposures  from  toxicants In  ambient  air  or water  where lifetime
exposure  1s  assumed.   Animal   data  used  for  RFD$   estimates   generally
Include  exposures  with  durations  of 30-90  days.   Subchronlc human data  are
rarely  available.  Reported  exposures  are usually from  chronic  occupational
exposure  situations  or  from reports  of acute  accidental  exposure.    These
values   are   developed   for  both   Inhalation   (RfO$i)   and  oral   (RfD$0)
exposures.

    The  RfD   (formerly  AIC)   1s   similar  In concept  and addresses  chronic
exposure.  It 1s an estimate of an exposure level  that  would not be expected
to cause  adverse  effects  when exposure  occurs  for  a significant  portion  of
the llfespan  [see  U.S.  EPA  (1980b)  for  a discussion of  this  concept].   The
RfO  Is  route-specific  and  estimates  acceptable  exposure  for  either  oral
(RfDg)  or  Inhalation  (RfDj)  with  the   Implicit  assumption  that exposure
by other routes 1s Insignificant.

    Composite  scores   (CSs)  for  noncardnogens  have also  been  calculated
where  data  permitted.   These  values  are  used  for  Identifying  reportable
quantities and  the methodology for  their development  1s explained  In  U.S.
EPA (1983).

    For  compounds  for  which  there 1s sufficient evidence of  carclnogenlclty
RfD$ and  RfD  values are  not derived.  For a  discussion of risk  assessment
methodology for  carcinogens  refer to  U.S.  EPA  (1980b).   Since cancer  Is  a
process  that  Is  not  characterized by  a  threshold,  any  exposure contributes
an Increment  of  risk.   For carcinogens,  q-|*s  have been  computed,  1f appro-
priate, based on oral and Inhalation  data If available.

                                   ABSTRACT
    In  order  to  place the  risk assessment  evaluation  In  proper  context,
refer  to  the preface  of  this  document.   The  preface outlines  limitations
applicable  to  all  documents  of this  series  as  well  as  the  appropriate
Interpretation and use of  the quantitative estimates presented.

    The  RfD$o  estimated  for  tMchlorofluoromethane  (F-ll)  1s  50  mg/day,
which  Is based  on a 6-week  feeding  study  using  rats (NCI,  1978).   This  study
Is weak  1n  that the only  endpolnts examined were mortality and  body weight
depression.    The  RfDg  estimate   for  F-ll,   20   mg/day,  which  has   been
verified  by  the U.S.  EPA  (1986b)  as  an  ADI  1s based  on  a 2-year  feeding
study  using  rats  (NCI, 1978).  At  the  dose  which was used to  calculate  the
RfDg,  accelerated  mortality  was  observed.   This  basis  for  RfD  determina-
tion was accepted because an  earlier RfD  calculated from an  Inhalation  study
(U.S.  EPA,  1980a)  was less conservative.   The  RfD$j  and  RfDj  estimates
for  F-ll  are calculated  from a 90-day  Inhalation study by  Jenkins et  al.
(1970).   The  RfD$i  estimate  for F-ll  Is 135.8  mg/day;  when an  additional
uncertainty factor Is  applied the RfOj  estimate  1s 13.6 mg/day.

    The  RfD$Q  estimate  for  dichlorodlfluoromethane  (F-12),  63  mg/day,  Is
based  on a  90-day  feeding  study  using  dogs   (Clayton,  1967).   The   RfOg
(RfD)  estimate  for  F-12 Is  10  mg/day.   This estimate, which has  been  veri-
fied by  the U.S.  EPA  (1986a) as an RfD,  1s  based on a  2-year  feeding  study
using  rats  (Sherman,   1974).   The  RfD$i   and RfDj estimates  for F-12  were
calculated from a 90-day Inhalation study  by  Prendergast  et al.  (1967).   The
RfD$j  estimate  1s  33.8 mg/day;  when  an  additional  uncertainty factor  Is
applied the RfDj estimate  for F-12 Is  3.4  mg/day.

                     1.  ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY AND FATE

    Selected  chemical   and  physical  properties  and environmental  fate  of
d1chlorod1fluoromethane   (F-12)    and   trlchlorofluoromethane   (F-ll)   are
presented In Table 1-1.
    In the  troposphere,  F-12 and  F-ll  remain stable and  eventually  diffuse
Into the  stratosphere  or  are carried back to  earth  during the precipitation
process  (Callahan et  a!.,  1979), where  re-entry  Into  the  atmosphere  by
volatilization  occurs.   Once   In  the   stratosphere   these  compounds   are
photolyzed  by  short   wavelength   UV  light,   releasing   chlorine  atoms  that
subsequently catalyze the destruction of ozone (Callahan et al., 1979).
    The tropospherlc lifetime  of  these compounds  has  been  postulated to  be
-20-30 years,  which  Indicates   that  40  to  >90% of  the  tropospherlc  halo-
methanes  will eventually reach the stratosphere  (Callahan  et al.,  1979).   In
water, F-12 and F-ll  will most  likely volatilize to the  atmosphere.
    Based on the method of  Lyman  et al.  (1982),  the volatilization half-life
from water  1 m deep has  been  calculated  to be 5.7  hours for F-12 and  6.1
hours  for  F-ll.  The  half-lives  of  these  compounds  In  soil  could   not  be
located 1n  the  available literature.  Based  on  their high  vapor  pressures,
F-12 and F-ll are probably  removed by  volatilization from  soil surfaces.   An
estimated  K   value  of  252 for  F-12 suggests  that  slight  adsorption  to
soil  may  occur  (Swann  et  al.,   1983),  which would  decrease  the rate  of
volatilization.   Adsorption of F-ll  to soil  should  be  less  significant  than
F-12.

           2.  ABSORPTION FACTORS IN HUMANS AND EXPERIMENTAL  ANIMALS



2.1.   ORAL



    Quantitative  data regarding  the absorption  of  F-ll and  F-12 following



oral administration  could not be located  1n  the  available  literature.  That



F-ll and  F-12 are absorbed  from the gastrointestinal  tract  can  be Inferred



from  the  observation of systemic  toxlclty  following oral  administration



(Sections 3.1.1. and 3.2.1.).



2.2.   INHALATION



    In a  study by Morgan et al. (1972),  volunteers  Inhaled  a  known  concen-



tration  of   38Cl-labeled  F-ll  or  F-12  1n  one breath  and  held  that  breath



for 40  seconds.   The subjects  then exhaled through a  charcoal trap  and the



amount of radioactivity  exhaled  was  determined.   The results  showed that 45%



of  the  concentration of  Inhaled  F-ll  was  Immediately  exhaled, while  90% of



Inhaled F-12 was Immediately exhaled.



    A number of studies  revlewed'by U.S.  EPA (1984a) Indicated that F-ll and



F-12 are  readily  absorbed.   Because these  studies do  not  quantltate  absorp-



tion,   details  will  not  be  presented.   A  general  finding  of  these  acute



studies Is that F-ll  Is absorbed to -more readily than F-12.



    A  more   recent  study  that  quantifies  absorption  of F-ll  1n  humans  Is



presented by Angerer et   al.  (1985).  Two women and one man  were exposed to



F-ll  at   an  average concentration  of  657^36 mi/m3  (-980   g/m3)  for  150,



264 and  210  minutes, respectively.   F-ll   concentrations In  the alveolar air



and blood were determined.  After  1  hour, the concentration of  F-ll  In the



blood  reached  steady-state at  an average  alveolar air  F-ll  concentration of



537 ml/m3  (-800  g/m3).   Pulmonary  retention  varied  from  13.5-21.9X  for



the three volunteers, with  the pulmonary  ventilation  rate of  the volunteers



equaling  9.4 l/m1nute.    The doses  absorbed  by  the  three  Individuals  were









0078h                                -3-                             > 11/04/86

-------
1.08, 1.35  and  1.88 g,  correlating positively with  the exposure time.  The
average F-ll blood concentration measured  during  the  study was  2.8 mg/i.
    Brugnone et  al. (1984) studied  the  absorption  of  F-ll  and F-12  during
occupational  exposures.    By   measuring   the   differences   In   concentration
between  Inhaled  and exhaled  air the  Investigators  determined  that  19%  of
Inhaled F-ll Is retained  while 18% of F-12 1s  retained  by the lungs.
0078h                               -4-                              08/29/86

-------
                3.   TOXICITY  IN  HUMANS AND  EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS
3.1.   SUBCHRONIC
3.1.1.   Oral.  NCI  (1978)  studied  the  subchronlc effects  of  F-ll  1n  mice
and rats  In a  preliminary  dose range-finding  study  for a  chronic  toxlclty
and cancer  study.   Groups of five  male  and five  female  Osborne-Mendel  rats
and equal numbers of male and female  B6C3F1  mice were treated by gavage with
F-ll  1n  corn  oil  5  days/week  for  6 weeks  at  doses of 0,  1000,  1780,  3160,
5620 and 10,000 mg/kg/day.   Significant  depression (26%) of  body  weight was
observed In male  rats  receiving 1000 mg/kg/day, with at least  one  male rat
dying  In  each  dose  group  >1000  mg/kg/day.    Female  rats  receiving  1780
mg/kg/day  experienced  a  significant body  weight  depression (11%)  with  at
least one death In  each dose group  >1780 mg/kg/day.  Mice had no body weight
depressions.  Mortality began to occur at  5620  mg/kg/day  In male mice and at
>3J60 mg/kg/day 1n female mice.   Treated  animals were not examined further.
    In a 90-day  feeding study  described by Clayton  (1967),  male  and female
rats  and male and  female  dogs  received F-12  1n  the diet.  Rats  fed  diets
that  provided 160-379  mg/kg bw/day did  not   show any  effects on  growth,
behavior, hematologlcal and  SGPT  values  or 1n gross  and  microscopic appear-
ance  of  an unspecified  selection  of  organs and  tissues.   The only effect
noted was  a  slight elevation  of  plasma  alkaline  phosphatase  activity  1n
females.   Dogs  fed  85-95  mg F-12/kg/day did not  show any  treatment-related
effects.
3.1.2.   Inhalation.   Table   3-1    summarizes   the  subchronlc   Inhalation
studies  of  F-ll  and F-12.
    Stewart et al.  (1978) studied health effects  In humans  following repeat-
ed  exposures  to  F-ll or  F-12.   Eight male  volunteers  were  exposed  to  1000
ppm F-ll  (5600 mg/m3)  or  F-12 (4900 mg/m3),  8  hours/day, 5 days/week  for

0078h                               -5-                            *  08/29/86

4 weeks.   The parameters examined were  blood chemistries and  hematologles,
heart  function,  pulmonary  function,  neurological studies, electroencephalo-
graphy,  visual  evoked response,  ACTH  stimulation and  cognitive tests.   No
effects  were observed  In  Individuals  exposed  to   F-12.   The  only  effect
observed  In  F-ll exposed  Individuals  was  a  statistically significant,  but
minute and  transient  decrease  In  cognitive test performance.   Because  this
decrease was  not  consistent,  was  transient, was not dose-related  (In  regard
to  total  dose)  and did  not occur  1n  subjects  acutely  exposed to  the  same
concentrations for the same  length of  time, the authors  concluded  that  this
effect was not considered to be an adverse effect of  exposure  to F-ll.
    Jenkins et al. (1970) exposed  squirrel  monkeys,  beagle dogs,  guinea  pigs
and  Sprague-Dawley  rats  to  58,000 mg/m3 F-ll  8 hours/day,  5  days/week  for
6  weeks.   Compared with controls,  effects noted  In  treated  animals  were
elevated  serum  urea  nitrogen  In  dogs   (36  mg/100  ml  exposed; 16.8  mg/100
ml  controls), mild  liver discoloration  In ~25X of  rats  and  guinea pigs,  a
liver  lesion  In  1/9 exposed monkeys  and nonspecific  Inflammatory  changes  In
lungs  of  rats,  guinea pigs  and monkeys.   No other  significant  changes  were
observed In hematologlcal or biochemical  data or body weight.
    Jenkins  et  al.  (1970)   also  exposed  squirrel  monkeys,  beagles,  guinea
pigs  and  rats  to 5600  mg/m3  F-ll continuously for 90  days.   The  results
observed were nonspecific  Inflammatory  changes  In the lungs of  all  species,
elevated  serum  urea  nitrogen  levels  1n  dogs  (33  mg/100  ml  exposed;  16.8
mg/100 ml  controls)  and mild  Hver  discoloration   In  some  rats  and  guinea
pigs.  One monkey, which died  on  day 78,  had hemorrhaglc lesions on the lung
surface  that were  not  directly  attributed to  exposure.  About 50%  of  the
monkeys  used  1n the study  were found  to  be  Infected  with  mlcrofllerla
(Dlpetalonema sp.).   Hematologlcal and  biochemical  data or body weight  were
not significantly affected.

    Leuschner  et  al.  (1983)  exposed  beagle dogs  to 28,000  mg/m3 F-ll  or
25,000 mg/m3  F-12,  6  hours/day  for 90  days and  rats  to 56,000  mg/m3  F-ll
or 49,000  mg/m3  F-12, 6  hours/day  for 90 days.   No  signs of  toxldty  were
observed In  dogs  or rats.  The  parameters  examined were  behavior,  external
appearance,  food  and  water  consumption,  body weight, hematology,  blood  bio-
chemistry,  urlnalysls  and 1n  dogs  only, electrocardlography  and  circulatory
function.   At  necropsy,  organ   weights  were  determined  and  hVstologlcal
examinations were completed  1n all dogs and In 10 rats/group/sex.
    Prendergast et  al. (1967)  exposed squirrel  monkeys,  beagle  dogs,  rab-
bits, guinea  pigs and rats to F-12 at 4136 mg/m3, 8 hours/day,  5 days/week
for  6 weeks  or  to 3997 mg/m3   F-12  continuously for  90  days.   The  most
severe  effect observed was  focal  necrosis  and  fatty  Infiltration  of  the
livers  of  guinea pigs,  which was  more severe  In the  continuously  exposed
guinea pigs  compared with those  that  received Intermittent exposures.   Other
effects  observed   In   the animals  exposed  Intermittently were  nonspecific
Inflammation  of  the  lungs  1n a  number  of  guinea pigs,  rats, rabbits  and
monkeys, weight   loss  1n dogs  and monkeys,  heavy  pigmentation  In  liver,
spleen and kidney of  one  monkey  and death of  one rat.   Continuously  exposed
rats, rabbits, monkeys and  dogs   showed  a  high Incidence  of  lung  congestion
with  Inflammatory  changes  1n  the  lungs,  depressed body  weight  gain  In
rabbits and gu.lnea  pigs,  and  the  deaths  of  2/15  exposed  rats and  1/15  guinea
pigs.
    Sayers  et  al.  (1930)  exposed monkeys,  dogs  and  guinea  pigs   to F-12  at
1.1x10*  mg/m3  for  7-8 hours/day,  5  days/week and 4 hours/day,   1  day/week
for -77  days  {Sayers  et  al., 1930).   Dogs  experienced tremors and  ataxla.
Less severe  tremors were  also observed 1n monkeys.   Tremors  In both  species
lessened 1n  severity  after several weeks.   Deaths of  10/26  exposed  guinea

pigs and 6/26 controls were  attributed  to  pneumonia.   An  Initial  Increase 1n
r«d blood cell count and  hemoglobin was  observed  In  several  guinea pigs.   In
dogs and  guinea  pigs,  the number  of  lymphocytes  decreased  slightly  and  the
number  of  polymorphonuclear  neutrophlls   Increased   slightly.   An  Initial
weight loss was also observed In exposed dogs and  several  guinea pigs.
3.2.   CHRONIC
3.2.1.   Oral.   In  the NCI  (1978) study,  F-ll was  administered orally  In
corn oil to 50 male and 50  female  Osborne-Mendel  rats and equivalent  numbers
of male and female B6C3F1 mice,  5  days/week,  with  the exception of the high-
dose groups of male  mice, which Initially contained  49 mice.   Untreated  and
vehicle-treated  controls  consisted  of  20 anlmals/sex/specles.   Treatments
that were  administered  for  78 weeks were  adjusted  at 12 weeks (rats)  and  7
weeks  (mice)  resulting  In TWA  doses  of 488  and  977  mg/kg/day for  low-  and
high-dose male  rats,  538 and  1077 mg/kg/day  for  low- and  high-dose female
rats and 1962 and  3925  mg/kg/day for low- and  high-dose  mice  of  both sexes.
These TWA  doses  are for  treatment on  5  days/week  and do not  reflect expan-
sion to  dally  treatment.   No decrease  In  body weight was reported  1n rats.
In male  and female  rats,  dose-related early  mortality  was observed,  which
[although  significant  when  compared  with controls  using  the Tarone  test
(p<0.001)]  was   associated  with  murlne  pneumonia,   which   was  observed  1n
88-100% of  all  rats.  Low  Incidences  (<20%)  of  pericarditis  and  pleurHls
were observed  In  all  treated groups of  rats  but  not  In  controls.   In mice,
no statistically  significant  compound-related effect on  body  weight  gain or
clinical  signs   was  observed.   Based  on  the Tarone test,  a  significant
(p=0.009) dose-related acceleration  of  mortality  was  observed  In  female  but
not male mice.

-------
    Sherman  (1974)  fed  groups  of four male and  four  female beagle dogs (1-2
years  of age)  diets containing F-12  that  provided  8 mg/kg  bw/day  for  2
years.   No  meaningful  differences  were observed  In  food  consumption,  body
weight, hematology, urlnalysls and biochemistry measurements.
    Sherman  (1974)  also studied the effects of  F-12  1n rats that were dosed
by  1ntragastr1c  Intubation for  up  to 2 years.  Groups of 21 female  and  11
male CD  rats  were utilized.  Hales received 11-27  or  130-273 mg/kg/day F-12
In  corn  oil.   Females received 11-25 or 128-242 mg/kg/day.   Dose ranges for
each group  were  estimated  by  the  author.   Two vehicle control  groups  were
Included, each  consisting  of  11 males and 21  females.  After 3  months the
rats were mated.   No F-12  was  given  to pregnant females  between  days  18  or
19  of  gestation  and  day 5 of  lactation.   Groups  of  50 male and  50  female
offspring received  nothing, corn oil, or F-12 at the  low  or high dose.   The
results showed a  somewhat depressed body weight gain  and  food  efficiency  In
female  rats  receiving   131-273  mg  F-12/kg/day.   No  differences  In  food
consumption or mortality between exposed and control  groups  were  noted.  No
compound-related  changes 1n hematology,  urlnalysls,  clinical chemistry and
hlstopathologlcal  examinations were.noted at either dose level.
3.2.2.    Inhalation.   Pertinent  data  regarding   the  effects   of  chronic
Inhalation exposure  to  F-ll and  F-12  could  not be located  In  the available
literature.
3.3.   TERATOGENICITY AND OTHER REPRODUCTIVE  EFFECTS
3.3.1.    Oral.  No  pertinent data regarding  teratogenlc and  other  reproduc-
tive effects  associated with  oral exposure  to F-ll  were  located  In  the
available literature.   In  the  chronic oral  study  using  rats  treated  with
11-27  or  131-273 mg/kg/day F-12 for  up  to 2  years,  no  abnormalities  were
observed  1n  fertility,   gestation,  viability  and   lactation  or  upon  hlsto-
pathologlcal examination  (Sherman,  1974).  Rats (male and  female)  received

on the  average  -15 or 150 mg F-12/kg/day In corn oil  by  gavage.   Dosing was
discontinued from  days  18 or 19 of gestation until  day 5 of  lactation.   The
experiment was continued for 3 generations.
    Cullk  and  Sherman  (1973)   treated  pregnant Charles  River rats  (25-277
group)  by  gavage  with  2 mi  corn  oil  containing  an average  of  0,  16.6  or
170.9 mg F-12/kg on  gestation days 6-15.  F-12  administration  did not affect
maternal weight  gain,  the numbers of  Implantation  sites  or viable fetuses,
mean  fetal  body weight or  fetal  crown-rump length.  No  major  abnormalities
were observed 1n live fetuses,  and the  numbers  of minor defects In offspring
of treated days were similar to those of controls.
3.3.2.   Inhalation.   In  a  study  by  Paulet et  al.  (1974),   groups of  10
pregnant rabbits  and 20  pregnant  Vllstar  rats were  exposed  to a  mixture  of
F-ll  and F-12 In air  for  2  hours/day  on days 4-16  of gestation (rat) or  days
5-20  of gestation  (rabbits).   The mixture  was at  -200,000  ppm  (-1  kg/m3)
with  the  proportion of  F-12:F-11  at  9:1.   Half of the  animals  were sacri-
ficed on  day 20  (rats)  or  day 30  (rabbits)  of  gestation.    The  remaining
animals  were  allowed to  deliver.   No  treatment-related  adverse  effects  on
maternal  or  fetal  body  weights,  number   of   Implantations,  resorptlons,
fetuses, stillbirths  or  the number of  pups  surviving  at  1 and 4 weeks  were
observed.    No  abnormalities were  observed  1n  treated Utters; however,  the
method of  fetal  examination was not stated.
3.4.    TOXICANT INTERACTIONS
    At  relatively  high  concentrations, eplnephrlne  has been  shown  to  alter
the sensitivity  of the heart to  F-ll.   In  a study by Belej   et  al.  (1974),
anesthetized  rhesus  monkeys  (1.8-2.7  kg)  with   tracheas   cannulated   for
artificial  respiration were exposed to  F-ll  1n  air  for 5  minutes  and then to

room air for 10 minutes.   The  minimal  concentrations  of F-11 causing cardlo-
texlclty were  5%  (280,000  mg/m3)  for  cardiac  arrhythmia and  2.5% (140,000
mg/m3)   for   depression   of   myocardlal   contractility   associated   with
hypotension.  When  eplnephrlne was Infused  (Intravenously)  the minimal  F-11
concentration  causing  arrhythmia  was  reduced  to 2.5%.   Tachycardia  also
appeared when  F-11  was given  while  eplnephrlne  was  Infused.   The  minimal
concentration  of  F-ll  requlfed  to cause arrhythmia  was further  reduced  to
0.5%  (28,000  mg/m3)  when  eplnephrlne  Infusion  was accompanied  by coronary
artery occlusion.
    Neither eplnephrlne Infusion nor  coronary  artery occlusion  reduced the
concentration of F-12 required  to  cause cardiac  arrhythmia  In rhesus  monkeys
(Belej et  al., 1974).   In the normal  heart,  a  10%  (495,000  mg/m3)  concen-
tration of F-12 1n air was required to cause cardiac arrhythmia.

4.1.   HUNAN DATA
    Pertinent data regarding  the  carcinogenic potential of  F-l'l  or F-12  In
humans could not be located In the  available literature.
4.2.   BIOASSAYS
4.2.1.   Oral.  NCI (1978) conducted  a  carclnogenldty  bloassay for F-ll  1n
which  groups of  male  and  female  Osborne-Mendel  rats  and  male  and  female
B6C3F1 mice  were orally  dosed with  F-ll   In  corn oil.   Rats  received  TWA
doses as  follows:  males,  488 or  977 mg/kg/day; females,  538 or 1077  mg/kg/
day,  5  days/week for  78 weeks.   Mice received THA doses  of  1962 or  3925
mg/kg/day (both  sexes) on  the same dosing  schedule as the rats.  There  were
20  untreated  and vehicle-treated  controls  per  sex per  species (see  Section
3.2.1.).    There  was   no  significant  positive association  between   tumor
Incidence In rats surviving >52 weeks and F-ll  exposure.   These results  were
Inconclusive, however, because of high  early mortality  1n  male and  female
rats; an  Inadequate  number of rats  survived long  enough  to be at risk  for
late-developing  tumors.    The  results   In  mice   showed  no   statistically
significant  Increase In tumor Incidence and  no unusual  tumors were  found.
    In a  3-generatlon study  of  F-12  using rats,  Sherman  (1974)  analyzed
tumor  Incidences.  F-12  did not cause  an  Increase In tumor Incidence  In CO
male  and  female rats  treated  by  gavage with 11-27 (average -15) or  131-273
(average -150) mg F-12/kg/day In corn oil.
4.2.2.   Inhalation.   Maltonl  et  al.  (1982)  exposed groups  of 90 male* and
90  female  Sprague-Oawley  rats to  F-ll  and  F-12 at concentrations  of  0,  0.1
or  0.5%   (F-ll:5600,  28.000  mg/m3;   F-12:4900,  25,000  mg/m3)  4  hours/day,
5 days/week  for  104 weeks.   Exposed  rats  were examined  only  for brain tumors
(ependymomas,  gllomas  and  menlnglomas),  but  Incidences  did  not   differ
significantly from controls.

4.3.   OTHER RELEVANT DATA
    F-11 was  negative  for base-pair substitutions and  frame-shift  mutations
1n the presence or absence of a metabolic  activating  system when tested with
Salmonella typhlmurlum  strains  TA1535 and  TA1538  and Escherlchla  coll  K-12
(Uekleke et  al..  1976.  1977).  Longstaff  et  al.  (1984) found both  F-11  and
F-12 to be nonmutagenlc with and without S-9  activation In  Salmonella typhl-
murlum strains  TA100  and TA1535, and  the  compounds  did not  transform BHK21
cells.  F-11  and  F-12 were also  shown to  be negative  for  forward  mutations
In the Chinese  hamster  ovary/hypoxanthlne  guanlne  phosphorlbosyl transferase
assay with or without metabolic  activation (Krahn et al.,  1979).   Van't  Hof
and Schalrer  (1982) found F-12 to be negative In  a mutagenlclty  test using a
Trandescantla hybrid.
4.4.   WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE
    There was no  evidence In the available literature Indicating  that  F-11
or  F-12  are  carcinogens.   An  oral  NCI  (1978)  bloassay of F-11 was  Incon-
clusive  1n   rats  because  of high  early  mortality  and  negative  1n  mice.
Orally administered F-12 did not cause an  Increase In  tumors In  CD  rats 1n a
3-generatlon  study  (Sherman, 1974).   Inhalation  of  F-11  or F-12 did  not
cause an  Increased  Incidence  of  brain  tumors In exposed rats.   Mutagenlclty
assays support  the  carclnogenlclty  studies;  F-11  and  F-12 were  negative  1n
mutagenlclty assays In bacteria  and  mammalian cells (see Section  4.3.).
    Because  of  the lack  of  sufficient evidence concerning  the  carcinogenic
potential of  F-ll  and F-12, these  compounds  can  be  placed In  EPA  Group  D,
not classified  (U.S. EPA, 1986a).   Although IARC has  not classified F-11  and
F-12  as   to   their  carclnogenlclty  to  humans,  an  IARC  classification  of
Group 3 (I.e., cannot  be classified) seems  most  appropriate.

                    5.  REGULATORY STANDARDS AND CRITERIA
 b

    The U.S. EPA  (1982) has  recommended  water  quality criteria for F-ll and
F-12.  The  criterion  for  F-ll,  12  mg/l, was  based on an  RfD  of 24 mg/day
or 0.35 mg/kg/day  (U.S. EPA,  1982)  calculated  from an NCI  (1978) oral  study
that  defined  a rat LOAEL  of 488 mg/kg,  5 days/week,  which was associated
with accelerated mortality,  and an uncertainty factor of 1000.  This  RfD has
been verified by  U.S.  EPA  (1986c)  and rounded to 20 mg/day  (0.3  mg/kg/day).
The criterion  for  F-12 of 28 mg/l  was based on  an RfD of 56.0  mg/day  (0/6
mg/kg/day)  (U.S.  EPA, 1982).   This  RfD  was  calculated from  a  2-year  oral
study using dogs  (Sherman,  1974). which  defined a NOAEL of 80  rng/kg/day;  an
uncertainty factor  of 100  was  applied (U.S.  EPA,  1982).   The RfD of  56.0
mg/day  has  recently  been  replaced  by  a  verified RfD  of 10 mg/day  (0.2
mg/kg/day) based on an oral chronic rat NOEL of  15  mg/kg/day (Sherman,  1974)
and an uncertainty factor  of 100 (U.S.  EPA,  1986b).
    The NAS (1980)  has  determined a  SNARL for F-ll  for  a  70 kg  adult  of  88
mg/l  for  1-day exposure and  8.0 mg/l  for  7-day exposure.   The F-12  SNARL
for 1-day exposure of a 70  kg  adult  1s  350 mg/l,  while the 7-day SNARL  is
150  mg/l  (NAS,  1980).  A  chronic  SNARL  of  5.6  mg/l  for F-12  has  also
been calculated (NAS,  1980).
    The ACGIH  (1985)  has adopted  a celling TLV of  1000  ppm  (-5600  rug/m*)
for  F-ll.   The ACGIH (1985) TWA-TLV  for F-12  1s  1000  ppm (-4950  mg/m3).
OSHA  (1985) has set the PEL for both F-ll and F-12 at  1000  ppm {F-ll,  -5600
mg/m3; F-12, -4950 mg/m3).

                              6.  RISK ASSESSMENT
6.1.   SUBCHRONIC REFERENCE DOSE  (RfD$)
w
6.1.1.   Oral  (RfDcn).   The  only subchronlc  oral  study  of  F-ll  available
                   »>u
was  the  range-finding experiment  for  a chronic cancer  study  by NCI (1978).
Mice  and  rats  were dosed by  gavage  with  the corn  oil vehicle or 1000, 1780,
3160,  5620  or  10,000 mg/kg/day of F-ll,  5  days/week  for 6 weeks followed by
2 weeks of  observation.   Male rats showed a 26X depression  In body weight at
1000  mg/kg/day  and  at  least  one  death/group  at the  higher  dose  levels.
Female rats  showed  no effects at  1000 mg/kg/day; body weight depressions but
no  deaths  occurred  at  1780 mg/kg/day.  Mice  had  no effects  at doses <5620
mg/kg/day.   Because the  only endpolnts studied  were  body  weight and mortal-
ity,  the  LOAEL of  1000  mg/kg/day for  rats  from this study alone  Is a weak
basis  for  determining an  RfDgQ.   However,  these  data  are  supported by the
available chronic data (see Section  6.2.1.).
    An RfO$0 can be  estimated  from  the LOAEL  of  1000  mg/kg/day (NCI, 1978)
by  multiplying the  LOAEL by  5/7  days  to  convert  to dally  exposure, and by
dividing  by an  uncertainty  factor  of  1000 (10 for  Interspedes extrapola-
tion,  10  for   Interspecles  variability,  10 for  deriving  an  RfDSQ  from  a
LOAEL).   The  calculated  RfO$() for  F-ll  Is 0.714 mg/kg/day,   or  50 mg/day
for a 70 kg  human.
    The  90-day feeding  study by  Clayton   (1967)  Is  the  only  oral   toxldty
study  of  appropriate  duration from which  to  determine an RfDSQ  for F-12.
In  this  study, oral administration  of  160-379  mg/kg/day of F-12 to male and
female  rats  produced  no  effects  on  behavior,  growth,   hematology,  SGPT
activity  and  the  gross  and  microscopic  appearance  of  tissues  and  organs.
The only  effect observed was a slight  elevation of  plasma alkaline  phospha-
tase  activity.  Dogs  were  orally dosed  with  F-12  at  84-95  mg/kg/day (-90

mg/kg/day)  for  90 days.  This treatment  did  not produce any clinical  signs
of  toxldty and  no  changes were  detected In  blood and urine  tests or  In
*
hlstologlcal examinations.  Because the data for dogs provide a  more  clearly
defined NOAEl, these data will  be used to calculate an  RfOSQ.
    An RfOso  can  be estimated from  the  dog NOAEL of 90 mg/kg/day  (Clayton,
1967)  by  dividing  by  an  uncertainty  factor   of  100   (10  for  Interspedes
extrapolation and 10  for  Intraspedes variability).   The  calculated  RfO._

for F-12 Is 0.9 mg/kg/day, or 63 mg/day for a  70 kg human.
6.1.2.   Inhalation  (RfD..).   A  number   of   subchronlc   F-lll   Inhalation
studies  are summarized In Table 3-1.  The study by Leuschner et al.  (1983)
1s  not  useful  for risk  assessment.   The  study did not define thresholds  of
toxlclty  In rats  or  dogs,  although   transformed  doses  from this experiment
were  higher than  those  1n  the multlspecles  experiment  by  Jenkins  et  al.
(1970)   In  which  adverse   effects   were   noted.    Transformed   doses   were
calculated  In  the following manner:   mg/kg/day  =  mg/m3 x  (hours exposed/24
hours) x (days  exposed/7  days)  x Inhalation  rate (mVday) x I/body  weight
(kg).   [Inhalation  rates  were  calculated using  formulas  from  U.S.  EPA
(1986d):   Inhalation  rate for  dogs = 0.92/2.11  (BW)0'9 and  Inhalation  rate
for  guinea pigs  *  0.98/2.11  (BW)0'9.]    In  the  study  by  Jenkins  et  al.
(1980),  squirrel monkeys, dogs, guinea pigs and  rats were exposed to  F-ll  at
58,000  mg/m3,  8   hours/day,  5  days/week  for  6  weeks  or  to  5600  mg/m3
continuously for 90 days.   Dogs continuously exposed to F-ll  had nonspecific
Inflammation  of  the   lungs  and  Increased  serum  urea  nitrogen levels  (33
mg/100 mi   exposed, 16.8 mg/100 ml  control).   The  dogs  were  exposed  to  a
transformed  dose  of   -1940  mg/kg/day that was  calculated using  the  body
weight   (9.9  kg)   provided  by  the   Investigators.   Increased   serum  urea
nitrogen  levels were  observed only  In   dogs  at  1940  mg/kg, which  can  be

 decreased  cognitive test performance (Stewart et  al.t  1978)  because the dog
 study  was a  longer term  experiment  and  a  more  comprehensive  evaluation of
 criteria  of  toxlclty  was performed.   An  RfD$I  of 1.94 mg/kg/day or 135.8
 mg/day  for  a 70 kg  human  can  be calculated from the LOAEL of 1940 mg/kg/day
 by  dividing  the  transformed dose by an  uncertainty  factor of  1000  (10 for
 Interspecles  extrapolation,  10  for  Individual variability,  10  for deriving
 an  RfDSI  from a LOAEL).
     The  study of  F-ll exposure  In humans  by Stewart et al. (1978) Indicates
 that an  RfDs»  of  135.8  mg/day for a 70 kg human  should be protective.
 Stewart  et  al.  (1978)  exposed  male  volunteers   to  F-ll  at  5600  mg/m3,  8
 hours/day,  5 days/week  for  4  weeks  (381 mg/kg/day).  The  only  effect was a
 minute  decrease  1n cognitive  test  performance.   An  RfD-r  calculated  from
 this exposure would  be  266.7  mg/day which Is slightly  higher  but In close
 agreement with the  RfDSI calculated  from the dog LOAEL.
     Prendergast   et  al.  (1967)  exposed   squirrel  monkeys,  beagle  dogs,
 rabbits,  guinea  pigs  and  rats  to  F-12 at 4136 mg/m3  for  8  hours/day,  5
 days/week  for 6  weeks or  to  3997 mg/m3  continuously  for 90  days.   Guinea
 pigs were  found  to  be  more  susceptible  to  F-12  than  the other species.
 Focal  necrosis  and  fatty  Infiltration  of  the   liver  were  found  In   both
 exposure  protocols,  with  an  Increase In the  Incidence and   severity In
 animals exposed continuously (1941.6 mg/kg/day;  bw =  0.584 kg)  compared  with
 those  exposed Intermittently (482.3  mg/kg/day; bw  = 0.632  kg).   Using 482.3
 mg/kg/day  as  a  LOAEL, an  RfOSI  of  0.482  mg/kg/day or  33.8 mg/day for a 70
 kg  human can be  calculated by  dividing the  transformed dose  by  an uncer-
 tainty  factor of  1000  (10  for  Interspecles  extrapolation,  10  for  1ntra-
 spedes variability, 10  for  deriving an RfDSI  from a LOAEL).

 6.2.    REFERENCE DOSE  (RfD)
 6.2.1.    Oral  (RfDQ).   The  U.S. EPA  (1982,  1986c)  RfD  for  F-ll  of  0.344
v
 mg/kg/day or  24.4  mg/day 1s based  on  the lowest dose tested (438 mg/kg/day)
 In  the  NCI (1978)  chronic oral study In which a dose-related acceleration of
 mortality was  observed In male  and female rats.   The  Increase In mortality
 became  apparent  In low-dose  rats  as  early  as  week   15  and  In high-dose
 females  as early  as  week  4.   According to  NCI   (1978),  murlne  pneumonia,
 which was observed In  88-100X of rats  1n all  groups, appeared to  be a factor
 In  early mortality.   The  preferential  acceleration  of  mortality  among
 treated  groups may  have been a result  of F-11  lowering  the  resistance to
 pneumonia.
    A  previous  determination  of  the  RfD,   calculated  from  a  subchronlc
 Inhalation study (Jenkins et  al.,  1970), was  less conservative..  The new RfD
 of  24.4  mg/day has been verified by U.S. EPA (1986c) as the best  estimate of
 an  RfD  for F-ll and  rounded to 20 mg/day  for a 70 kg human.
    The  U.S.  EPA  (1986b) RfD  for  F-12  was based  on a  2-year  oral  study In
 rats by  Sherman (1974) In which  male and female CD rats received  -15 or ~150
 mg/kg/day of  F-12  by  gavage.  The  only  effects  observed were depressed body
 weight  gain and food efficiency  In high-dose  female rats.  The low dose  (-15
 mg/kg/day)  was therefore used as  a NOEL  to  calculate  the RfD.   The  RfD of
 0.15  mg/kg/day  or  10  mg/day for  a  70  kg human,  was calculated  using an
 uncertainty factor of  100.
    CSs  for  oral  exposure  to  F-ll  and  F-12  are listed In  Table  6-1.   A CS
 for  F-ll  was   calculated from  the NCI  (1978)   study  1n  which   accelerated
 mortality was   observed  In  rats  at 348.6  mg/kg/day.   A  human MED  of 4172
 mg/day  was calculated  by multiplying 348.6 mg/kg/day by the cube  root of the
 ratio  of the  rat  body weight  (0.35 kg,  estimated from graphic data provided

by Investigators) to the reference human  body weight  and by 70 kg.   This MED
corresponds  to  an  RV. of  1.   The  effect  that occurred  at  this  dose,
»
accelerated mortality,  corresponds  to an RVg  of  10 and the CS,  the product
of RVfi and RVd, for F-ll equals 10.
6.2.2.   Inhalation  (RfD,).   There  were  no  chronic   Inhalation   studies
available  for  either  F-ll   or  F-12.   Therefore,   RfDj   values   will  be
estimated  from RfDSI  values  by  applying an  additional uncertainty  factor
of  10 to  the  RfD$I  value.   By  this  method,  the  RfD. for  F-ll   Is  0.194
mg/kg/day  or   13.6  mg/day  for a  70  kg  human,  and  the  RfD~  for  F-12  1s
0.0482 mg/kg/day or 3.4 mg/day for a 70 kg human.
    CSs  for  Inhalation exposure  to  F-ll  and F-12  are listed 1n Table 6-2.
Because  the data for both  compounds  were  obtained  from subchrorilc studies an
additional uncertainty factor of 10 was used when  calculating human  MEDs.
    Since  subchronlc   Inhalation  studies  of  F-ll   used   relatively  high
exposure  concentrations,  all  MEDs   would  correlate  to  an  Rv"d  value  of  1.
Inflammation of  the  lungs  was  observed 1n all  animal  species  tested.   Other
lesions  also occurred  In dogs  and guinea  pigs.  In dogs, elevated serum urea
nitrogen  was  observed  and  guinea  pigs had  mild  discoloration of  the liver
(Jenkins  et  al.,  1970).   In  both  species, an RV   of  4 was chosen,  based
primarily  on  the more  severe  effect of  Inflammation  1n the lungs,  and the
CSs,  calculated as  the  product  of  the  RV.  and  RV  , are also  4.   All
Inhalation CS  values calculated  were less than the oral  CS so  they will not
be discussed further.
    The  data   from  which  CSs  for F-12  were calculated were obtained from
Prendergast  et  al.  (1967).   The MED  calculated  for  guinea  pigs  exposed
Intermittently  to  F-12 (Prendergast  et  al., 1967)  correlates  to an  RVrf of
1.3.   The remaining MEDs  correlate  to RV.s of 1.  The most  severe effects

mittent exposures  to  the continuous  exposure.   The  effects from  the  Inter-
mittent exposures  correspond  to  an  RV   of 6,  while the  effects  from the
continuous exposure correspond to an RV   of  7.  The highest  CS  value,  7.8,
Is from guinea  pigs exposed  Intermittently; the effects,  although  similar to
those seen with continuous exposure, occurred  at a lower  transformed dose.
6.3.   CARCINOGENIC POTENCY (q.,*)
6.3.1.   Oral.  Chronic  oral  cancer  studies  of  F-ll and  F-12 (NCI,  1978;
Sherman, 1974)  did not result  In  any Increased  tumor Incidences.   The  data
base Is considered Inadequate  to assess the carcinogenic potential  of these
compounds; therefore,  an oral q-j* cannot be calculated.
6.3.2.   Inhalation.  The  data base  Is considered Inadequate  to  assess the
carcinogenic  potential  of  these compounds;  therefore,   an  oral  q  *  cannot
be calculated.
