II. INTRODUCTION
The Agency issued a notice commencing a Special Review of
cadmium pesticides, as published in the FEDERAL REGISTER of
October 26, 1977 (42 FR 56524). The Special Review was
based on the determination that the use of cadmium pesticide
products exceeded risk criteria relating to oncogenicity,
mutagenicity, teratogenicity and fetotoxicity. Following
-------
-5-
review of public comments and available data, the Agency
determined that the risk concerns for oncogenicity remained/
and risk concerns for other acute and chronic effects (kidney
effects) have been added. Risk concerns for mutagenicity,
teratogenicity, and fetotoxicity no longer remain. The
Agency also concluded that the use of cadmium fungicide
would result in unreasonable adverse effects on applicators
of the products to turf. Therefore, the Agency proposes in
this Notice to deny applications and cancel registrations of
cadmium pesticide products for this use.
III. STATUTORY AND REGULATORY BACKGROUND
A. THE STATUTE
A pesticide product may be sold or distributed in the
United States only if it is registered or exempt from
registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended (7 U.S.C. 1136 et seg.).
Before a product can be registered, it must be shown that
it can be used without "unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment" (FIFRA section 3(c)(5)), that is, without
causing "any unreasonable risk to man or the environment,
taking into account the economic, social, and environmental
costs and benefits of the use of the pesticide" (FIFRA
section 2(bb)). The burden of proving that a pesticide
meets this standard for registration is, at all times, on
the proponent of initial or continued registration. If at
-------
-6-
any time the Agency determines that a pesticide no longer :
meets this standard for registration, then the Administrator
may cancel the registration under section 6 of FIFRA.
B. THE SPECIAL REVIEW PROCESS
The Special Review process, formerly called the Rebuttable
Presumption Against Registration (RPAR), is a mechanism by
which the Agency collects information on the risks and benefits
associated with the uses of pesticides to determine whether
any use causes unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
The Special Review process is governed by 40 CFR Part 154.
Through the Special Review process the Agency (1) announces
and describes its risk concerns regarding pesticidal use based
on certain risk criteria; (2) establishes a public docket;
(3) solicits comments from the public, and under certain
circumstances, from the "Secretary of~Agriculture -and "the
Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) regarding the Agency's analysis
and proposed regulatory decisions; (4) reviews and responds
to all significant comments timely submitted; and (5) makes
a final regulatory decision based on a balancing of risks
and benefits associated with a pesticide's use.
IV. PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION TO CANCEL
The Agency, by issuing this Notice of Preliminary
Determination, is proposing to cancel registrations and deny
applications for registration for all pesticide products
that contain cadmium compounds (salts of chloride, sebacate.
-------
-7-
succinate, carbonate and anilinocadmium dilactate) as active
ingredients and that are for use on turf sites. This
action is based on the Agency's determination that the use
of cadmium fungicides will result in significant risks to
applicators of the products for this use. The Agency has
has also determined that the risk associated with this use
is not outweighed by its relatively minor benefits as
discussed in detail by the Agency in the Technical Support
Document.
The Agency evaluated laboratory animal and human epide-
miological studies for cadmium's potential to cause toxic
effects. Both types of studies indicate that cadmium compounds
are oncogenic and can cause kidney effects. The Agency also
evaluated applicator exposure studies. In comparing the results
of the toxicological studies with the estimated applicator
exposures, the Agency concluded that there is up to a 10"^
lifetime risk of oncogenicity to certain applicators and a
very close association between applicator exposure levels and
kidney effect levels.
Data from a chronic rat inhalation study using cadmium
chloride aerosol, and from an epiaemiological study of factory
workers who were chronically exposed to cadmium oxide and dust,
suggest statistically significant, dose-related increases of
lung tumors. Based on these and results of other studies,
cadmium has been classified by the Agency as a "Bl" or "probable"
human carcinogen (Guidelines for Carcinogenic Risk Assessment
1986) .
-------
-8-
Based on results' from other laboratory animal studies j
and a human epidemiological study of factory workers who were
chronically exposed to cadmium compounds, the Agency concludes
there is a significant association between dermal and inha-
lation exposure and kidney effects, including proteinuria and
kidney dysfunction. The Agency has concluded that the cancer
and kidney effects associated with cadmium exposure exceed
the criteria for special review set out in 40 CFR Part 154.
The pesticidal usage of cadmium compounds is estimated
to be approximately 30,000 pounds per year. This represents
less than 0.1 percent of the total cadmium usage (30,000 to
35,000 tons) in the United States for industrial purposes.
Although registered for use on both golf course and home
lawn turf, cadmium fungicides are used almost exclusively
by turf maintenance personnel on golf courses.
-The-Ayenrcy-r^vi-eve-d 4-n-f-arma-t ion-concern ing the benefits
relating to cadmium fungicide uses. The benefits were
assessed relative to the economic impacts which would result
if cadmium compounds were cancelled and users chose to use
alternative fungicides. Agency estimates suggest that the
annual impacts on the principal use site, golf courses,
may be approximately $240,000 for the affected golf courses,
or approximately $500 per golf course using cadmium compounds.
The impacts on other turf sites would be negligible.
In weighing the risks and benefits and considering
regulatory options, the Agency considered measures to
reduce applicator exposure and risk. Protective clothing
-------
-9-
requirements and imposition of a requirement prohibiting use
of hand-held spray equipment were considered; however, the
Agency evaluated the effectiveness and utility of these
measures and concluded that they would not adequately mitigate
exposure and risk.
Also, the Agency is concerned about the purposeful addition
of a heavy metal (cadmium) to the environment. Cadmium
pesticide products are produced for the intent of direct appli-
cation to sites in the environment in comparison to cadmium
compounds that enter the environment as by-products of
industrial production. Given the commonly recognized undesirable
characteristics of adding heavy metals to the environment,
the high (30 pounds/acre/year) application rate, and the low
benefits from applying cadmium pesticides, the Agency does
not believe it prudent to permit the continued use of cadmium
pesticides.
Therefore, in consideration of the toxicological
effects of cadmium compounds, the estimated potential risks
of these effects to applicators, the lack of effective measures
to mitigate these unacceptable risks, the availability of
effective alternatives, an estimated minor economic impact
to users, and the undesirable practice of purposefully adding
high levels of a heavy metal to the environment the Agency
has made a preliminary determination that risks of use of
cadmium for turf disease control outweigh the benefits of such
use. Therefore, the Agency proposes to cancel registration
-------
,-10-
and deny application for all turf uses of cadmium pesticide
products. This is based on the Agency's judgment that the
risks of continued cadmium use outweigh the associated benefits.
V. AVAILABILITY OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT DOCUMENT
AND DRAFT NOTICE OF INTENT TO CANCEL
The Cadmium Technical Support Document (TSD) discusses
in detail the basis for the issuance of the Notice of
Preliminary Determination proposing to cancel registrations
and deny applications for registration for all pesticide
products that contain cadmium compounds as active ingredients
in pesticide products that are for use on turf sites.
In addition, a draft Notice of Intent to Cancel (NOIC)
Notice has been prepared for transmittal to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) and the SAP pursuant to sections 6 and
25 of FIFRA. Copies of this Notice of Preliminary Determination
and the TSD will also be transmitted to the SAP and USDA. The
draft NOIC and the TSD are available to the public on request.
Copies of these documents may be obtained from Valerie M. Bael,

IL Introduction
The Agency issued a notice •'
commencing a Special Review of
cadmium pestiddes. as published in the
Federal Register of October 28.1977 (42
FR 56524). The Spedal Review was
based on the determination that the use
of cadmium pestidde products exceeded
risk criteria relating to oncogenJdty.
aratagenidty. teratogenidty and
firiotoxidty. Following review of public
comments and available data, the
Agency determined that the risk
concern* for oncogenicity remained, and
risk concerns for other acute and
chronic effects (kidney effects) have
been added. Risk concerns for
mutagenidty. teratogenidty. and
fctotoxfdty no longer remain. The
Agency also concluded that the use of
cadmium fungicide would result in
unreasonable adverse effects on
applicators of the products to turf.
Therefore, the Agency proposes in this
Notice to deny applications and cancel
registrations of cadmium pestidde
products for this use.
m. Statutory and Regulatory
Background
A. Th* Statute
A pestidde product may be sold or
distributed in the United States only if it
is registered or exempt from registration
under the Federal Insecticide. Fungidde.
and Rodentidde Act (FIFRA) as
amended (7 U.S.C 1136 et seq.). Before a
1 product can be registered, it must be
shown that it can be used without
""unreasonable adverse effects on the
environment" (FIFRA section 3(c)(5)).
that is. without causing "any
unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, taking into account the
economic, social, and environmental
costs and benefits of "the use of the
pestidde" (FIFRA section 2(bb)). The
.burden of proving that a pestidde meets
this standard for registration is. at all
times, on the proponent of initial or
continued registration. If at any time the
Agency determines that a pestidde no
longer meets this standard for
registration, then the Administrator may
cancel the registration under section 8 of
FIFRA.
JL The Special Review Process
The Special Review process, formerly
called the Rebuttable Presumption
Against Registration (RPAR). is a
mechanism by which the Agency
collects information on the risks and
benefits assodated with the uses of
pesticides to determine whether any use
causes unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment The Special Review
process is governed by 40 CFR Part 154.
Through the Spedal Review process
the Agency (1) announces and describes
its risk concerns regarding pesticidal use
based on certain risk criteria: (2)
establishes a public docket: (3) solicits
comments from the public snd under
certain circumstances, from the
Secretary of Agriculture and the

•Bakes a final regulatory dadstoa baaed
eo a balancing of riaka and benefits
aaanriatsif with a pesticide's use.
The Agency, by issuing this Notice el
Preliminary Determination, is proposing
to fifrl registrations and deny
applications for registration for all
pesticide products that contain cadmium
compounds (salts of chloride, sebacate,
succinite, carbonate and
anilinocsdmMim dil^ctate) as active
ingredients and that are for use on turf
sites. This action is based on the
Agency's determination that me use of
ungicides will result in
significant risks to applicators of the
products for this use. The Agency has
also determined that the risk associated
with this use is not outweighed by its
relatively minor benefits as discussed in
detail by the Agency in the Technical
Support Document
The Agency evaluated laboratory
animal and human epidemiological
studies for cadmium's potential to cause
toxic effects. Both types of studies
indicate that cadmium compounds sre
oncogenic and can cause kidney effects.
The Agency also evaluated applicator
exposure studies. In comparing the
results of the lexicological studies with
- tbe-es timeted •applicator-exposures. -the
Agency-concluded thai theneJa up -to a
10~* lifetime risk of oncogenidty to
certain applicators and a very dose
association between applicator
exposure levels and kidney effect levels.
Data from a chronic rat inhalation
study using cadmium chloride aerosol.
and from an epidemiological study of
factory workers who were chronically
exposed to cadmium oxide and dust.
suggest statistically significant, dose-
related increases of lung tumors. Based
on these and results of other studies.
cadmium has been classified by the
Agency as a **Bl" or "probable*' human
carcinogen (Guidelines for Carcinogenic
Risk Assessment 1986).
Based on results from other laboratory
animal studies and a human
epidemiological study of factory
workers who were chronically exposed
to cadmium com;*)*]' ^a, the Agency •
Bffpchntt> than is a "'HT^'ftr*"*
association between dermal and

including proteinuria and kidney .
dysfunction. The Agency has concluded
that the cancer and kidney effects
associated with cadmium exposure
exceed the criteria for spedal review set
out in 40 CFR Part 154.
The pestiddal usage of cadmium
approximately SXOOO pounds per year.
This represents has tbamftl petcent of
the total cadmium usage (XUXBto :
35.000 tons) in the United States for
industrial purposes. Although sagistered
for use on both golf course andfcome
lawn turf, cadmium fungicides are used
almost exclusively by turf maintenance
personnel on golf courses.
The Agency reviewed information
concerning the benefits relating to
cadmium fungicide uses. The benefits
were assessed relative to the economic
Impacts which would result if cadmium
compounds were cancelled and user*
chose to use alternative fungicides.
Agency estimates suggest that the
annual impacts on the principal use site.
golf courses, may be approximately
g240.0pO for the affected golf courses, or
approximately S500 per golf course using
cadmium compounds. The impacts on
other turf sites would be negligible.
In weighing the risks and benefits and
considering regulatory options, the
Agency considensd measures to reduce
applicator exposure and risk. Protective
-clothing reguirements-aTtd-impeslUon-of
. a-ieq^irement-probibiting-iise-ef-band-
held spray equipment were considered:
however, the Agency evaluated the
effectiveness and utility of these
measures and concluded that they
would not adequately nftigate exposure
and risk.
Also, the Agency is concerned about
the purposeful addition of a heavy metal
(cadmium) to the environment
Cadmium pesticide products are
produced for the intent of direct
application to sites in the environment
in comparison to cadmium compounds
that enter the environment as by-
products of industrial production. Given
the commonly recognized undesirable
characteristics of adding heavy metals
to the environment, the high (30 pounds/
acre/year) application rate, and the low
benefits from applying cadmium
.pesticides, the Agency does not believe
it prudent to permit the continued use of
M«imtimi pesticides. . -
Therefore, in consideration of the
toxicological effects of cadmium
compounds, the estimsted potential
risks of these-effects to applicators, the
lack of effective measures to mitigate
mess unacceptable risks, the
availability of effective alternatives, an
estimated minor economic impact to
users, and the undesirable practice of
. purposefully adding high levels of a
heavy metal to the environment the
Agency has made a preliminary
determination that risks of use of
cadmium for turf disease control
outweigh the benefits of such use.
Therefore, the Agency proposes to
cancel registration and deny application
for all turf uses of cadmium pesticide
products. This is based on the Agency's
Judgment that the risks of continued
cadmium use outweigh the associated
benefits.
