1   Introduction

1.1  The Furniture Flame Retardancy Partnership

The flame retardant pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE) was widely used as an additive in
furniture foam and in other products to meet flammability requirements in the late 20th century.
In the early 2000s, growing concerns over the possible environmental and public health impacts
of pentaBDE led to a voluntary phase-out of the chemical by the sole U.S. manufacturer. At the
end of 2004, industry voluntarily ceased production of pentaBDE, and U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) issued a regulation that prohibited further manufacture of the chemical
without notification of EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The substitution
likely to result from the move to alternatives to pentaBDE resulted in the need for evaluating
flame retardants.

In 2003, EPA's Design for the Environment Program (DfE) convened a multi-stakeholder group
to undertake an assessment of viable alternatives to pentaBDE. The Furniture Flame Retardancy
Partnership (FFRP) included chemical manufacturers, furniture manufacturers, governmental
representatives and environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In 2005, EPA
issued a report1 based on the partnership's work assessing the human health and environmental
profiles of alternatives to pentaBDE, indicating that a number of alternatives were available that
appeared to pose a lower level of concern than was associated with pentaBDE. This DfE
Alternatives Assessment update report identifies and evaluates flame retardants that may be used
in flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) products (as of 2013) and updates hazard profiles from the
previous report.

Additional actions regarding pentaBDE were outlined in the EPA 2009 Action Plan for
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) (U.S. EPA 2009).

1.2  Updating the 2005 Furniture Flame Retardancy Report

Purpose and Scope of the Updated Report

The goal of the FFRP, as stated in its 2005 report, was to "identify  and assess environmentally
safer chemical alternatives to pentaBDE, and to investigate other technologies for improving
furniture fire safety" (U.S. EPA 2005a). Since the publication of the 2005 FFRP report, the
marketplace for flame retardants used in FPUF  has changed significantly, with some flame
retardant chemicals being withdrawn from the market, and others being introduced. This update
is intended to identify all flame retardants either known to be used, or marketed to be used, in
meeting fire safety requirements for upholstered consumer products containing FPUF. Also, DfE
published updated hazard criteria in 2011  (see "Alternatives Assessment Criteria for Hazard
Evaluation"), and  data from the 2005 FFRP report were re-evaluated using the current criteria,
and included in this report.  The resulting hazard profiles allow a direct comparison among

density-polyurethane.
                                          1-1

-------
substances found in the two DfE alternative assessment reports. It should be noted that, as in all
DfE Alternatives Assessments, the term "alternative" is used to designate any chemical that can
be used in the functional category, and does not designate preferability for environmental or
health endpoints.

DfE is publishing the current update for several reasons, in addition to the marketplace changes
and data developments described above. Public and media attention to flame retardants in recent
years has led to new scrutiny of flame retardant chemistry. Also, both the State of California and
the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have established or are planning to establish
updated flame retardancy standards for upholstered furniture (see Section 3 below).  The impact
of these changes in terms of flame retardant selection and use is as yet unknown; therefore, it is
important that the most current information be available to decision makers, which requires an
update of the chemicals and hazard data contained in the 2005 report. In addition, several
chemicals in this category (notably benzoic acid, 2,3,4,5-tetrabromo-, 2-ethylhexyl ester (TBB),
di(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (TBPH), and tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP)) were
identified by EPA as TSCA Work Plan chemicals for assessment beginning in 2013  (U.S. EPA
2013b). The full list of chemicals for assessment can be found
here: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/assessment chemicals  list.html.
Updating the hazard and use information for these and related chemicals complements other
assessment projects underway at EPA.

As mentioned above, this report by EPA's DfE Program updates and supplements the previous
alternatives assessment report developed by the FFRP (U.S. EPA 2005a). DfE identified 16
flame retardant chemicals, one non-proprietary mixture, and 2 proprietary mixtures to be
evaluated in the update report. Additional information on polyurethane foam is available in the
2005 FFRP report (U.S. EPA 2005a).

The scope of this report was expanded to include all upholstered consumer products containing
FPUF (i.e., not just furniture), including a number of flame retardants that have been identified in
products such as car seats and nursing pillows (Stapleton, Klosterhaus et al. 2011). These
products, like the furniture that was the subject of the 2005 report, are made from FPUF with a
covering fabric, and, when flame retarded, are expected to rely on the same set of flame
retardants. (Some upholstered FPUF products, particularly for babies and children, are exempt
from flame retardancy requirements, but may still contain flame retarded foam.)

The 2005 report describes alternative methods of improving furniture fire safety; for example,
the use of IFR upholstery, or the use of fire barriers between upholstery and foam. Since the
2005 report was published, one additional technology, known as layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled
flame retardancy, has been in development, but is not yet commercialized. The hazards
associated with this technology are not addressed in this update because it is nanoscale and not
commercially available, and the DfE criteria have not been evaluated for suitability to assess
nano-sized substances. The current update addresses the hazards associated with one alternative
technology—expandable graphite (used in graphite impregnated foam), which may be
commercially viable as a replacement for flame retardant chemicals in FPUF for some
applications. All other alternatives are briefly described in Section 4. Because the DfE hazard
criteria are developed for chemical-to-chemical comparison under a specific functional use,
                                          1-2

rather than material-to-material comparison, a life cycle assessment (LCA) might be a better tool
for evaluating and comparing alternative materials (see Section 1.3).

How to Use This Report

Audiences for this report include stakeholders interested in chemical hazards and safer
alternatives, including but not limited to chemical manufacturers, component manufacturers,
product manufacturers, retailers, consumers, NGOs, consultants, and state and federal regulators.
Three potential uses of this report include:

Identification of potential substitutes. This report allows stakeholders interested in chemical
substitution to identify functional alternatives for flame retardants used in flexible polyurethane
foam, which is commonly found in furniture. The two lists of potential alternatives includes
chemicals identified by stakeholders as viable, functional alternatives, as well as chemicals that
are not considered functional alternatives, and information on inherently flame retardant (IFR)
polymers. The inclusion of a chemical in this assessment does not indicate environmental- or
health-based preferability. By identifying potential functional alternatives, this report assists
manufacturers in selecting chemicals for additional performance testing, and can identify a need
for alternative approaches to fire safety such as barrier materials, as studied by the CPSC (CPSC
2013b). Although the alternatives identified in this report are additive flame retardants that can
be used in barrier materials, an evaluation of the use of the identified chemicals in these
technologies is outside of the scope of this report.

Selection of alternative chemicals based on comparative chemical hazard assessment. This
report helps decision-makers understand and compare the hazards associated with potential
alternatives to which they can supplement information on performance and cost. Some
alternatives may be associated with hazard concerns similar to those of pentaBDE; others may be
associated with different hazard concerns. Use of the hazard information in Section 2 may help
businesses avoid the  cost of repeated substitution. Section 7 contains a robust human health and
environmental profile for each chemical that is based on empirical data when available, and
enhanced with modeling and expert judgment to fill data gaps.  The profiles can help decision-
makers understand which potential  alternatives may come under scrutiny in the future, and
choose the safest possible alternative now to reduce future costs. In addition to reading the
hazard comparison table, decision-makers should review the full hazard assessments for each
chemical available in Section 7. The hazard assessments provide more information on hazard
criteria, data interpretation, and information used to assign hazard values in each category, and
ensure a complete understanding of the hazard profiles of each alternative.

Use of hazard information for further analysis and decision-making. The information in this
report can be used to inform further analyses on preferred alternative chemicals, such as risk
assessments or LCA. For example,  a decision-maker could identify several functional
alternatives with preferable hazard profiles, and conduct product-specific risk assessments based
on exposure expectations along the product's life-cycle. A decision-maker could also conduct an
assessment of the (non-hazard) environmental impacts associated with the life cycles of the
alternatives (or any differences in environmental impacts of the product that may result from
choosing one alternative over another). This type of supplementary information may be helpful
                                           1-3

-------
in guiding product-specific decision-making. In addition, information in this report can be used
to identify the Very Persistent Very Bioaccumulative chemicals, PBT chemicals, and those with
an "equivalent level of concern" targeted under European Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation
and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) policy. This report does not evaluate the relative hazards
of alternatives, but GreenScreen® (www.cleanproduction.org/Greenscreen.php) is one tool that
can be used for this purpose. The criteria used to develop the hazard assessments in this report
can also be used to inform Green Chemistry design.

1.3   Alternatives Assessment as a Risk Management Tool

The DfE Alternatives Assessment process was one of a suite of actions EPA chose to pursue to
manage the potential risks associated with pentaBDE. The Agency chose this tool to inform the
chemical substitution that may occur as an outcome of other risk management activities.

Chemical alternatives assessment compares chemicals within the same functional use group, and
evaluates alternatives across a consistent and comprehensive set of hazard endpoints and
environmental fate parameters. Information about chemical hazards derived from this type of
comparative chemical hazard assessment, in combination with analyses of cost, performance,
and other factors, can be used by  industry and other decision-makers to select safer alternative
chemicals for a particular use. (For details on DfE's Hazard Assessment criteria, see
"Alternatives Assessment Criteria for Hazard Evaluation," available
at http://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/design-environment-alternatives-assessments.)

Alternatives assessment is most useful in identifying  safer substitutes when available alternatives
meet performance requirements and are expected to present lower hazards for human health and
the environment. Alternatives assessments may identify scenarios in which there do not appear to
be any preferable alternatives to the chemical being considered for replacement. In this case, the
resulting information can be used to guide innovation, and the development of safer chemicals
and products.

Functional Use Approach and Chemical Fate

DfE's "functional use" approach  to alternatives assessment orients chemical evaluations within a
given product type and functionality. Under this approach, factors related to exposure scenarios,
such as physical form and route of exposure, can be similar within a given functional use
analysis and will fall out of the comparison, so that a reduction in hazard is equivalent to a
reduction of risk. When less hazardous alternatives have different physical-chemical profiles or
require different use levels, it may be appropriate to also conduct an exposure or risk assessment.

DfE Alternatives Assessments consider intrinsic properties of chemical substitutes that affect
exposure potential, including absorption potential, persistence, and bioaccumulation. Under this
approach, the health and environmental hazard profiles  in the alternatives assessments become
the key variable and source of distinguishing characteristics. Information on key properties that
can be used to evaluate significant differences in environmental fate and transport, including
persistence, bioaccumulation,  and physical properties, are included in the hazard assessment.
                                           1-4

-------
Under conditions where fire or incineration occurs, a halogenated substance may contribute to
halogenated dibenzodioxin and dibenzofuran formation, increase the generation of PAHs, and
impact fire parameters such as smoke and carbon monoxide (Sidhu, Morgan et al. 2013).
However, combustion reactions are complex and variable, and make inclusion of combustion
byproducts in hazard assessment challenging. Both halogenated and non-halogenated flame
retardants may yield other toxic by-products that would need to be compared, not only
halogenated dioxins and furans. For these reasons, the pyrolysis transformation products are not
assessed in this report.

DfE Alternatives Assessments Scope and Data Sources

As described above, the DfE Alternatives Assessment process is intended to provide useful
hazard and fate data on chemicals within a given functional class; it is not intended to describe
exposure or risk, nor do alternatives assessments provide quantitative information on chemical
performance in the product or cost, which are most appropriately conducted by manufacturers
who have hands-on expertise in product cost and performance. DfE Alternatives Assessments
provide complete hazard data according to a uniform set of criteria, in a format amenable to
comparison among chemicals, and in a relatively quick timeframe. This information can
contribute important information for decision makers, whether chemical manufacturers, product
manufacturers, consumers, orNGOs.

As with other DfE Alternatives Assessments, this report summarizes available data from many
sources, including information from experts on uses of flame retardants, and hazard and fate
information from the scientific literature. Because EPA oversees the TSCA Premanufacture
Notification (PMN) process, DfE also has access to hazard and fate information from
confidential and non-confidential studies submitted to the Agency as part of a PMN chemical
review. Furthermore, when little data are available on a chemical of interest, hazard and fate
information may be derived from data on analog molecules, which may be confidential. Experts
from DfE, from other groups within EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention
(OCSPP), and from DfE's contractors, provide expert judgment on chemical hazard and fate for
those  chemicals. This report compiles existing data and does not include results of new research
on chemical hazards; EPA did not undertake any testing for this report.

When reporting hazard data on available alternatives, DfE does not recommend specific flame
retardants. It is the role of manufacturers to use the data provided, along with their own expert
knowledge, to choose the safest chemicals possible, while also meeting their requirements for
efficacy, price, and other criteria.

Green Chemistry Principles

The DfE Alternatives Assessment approach is aligned with established green chemistry
principles. Two of these principles are particularly relevant to the DfE approach:

   •   Principle 4: Design of safer chemicals - "Chemical products should be designed to affect
       their desired function, while minimizing their toxicity;" and
                                          1-5

-------
   •   Principle 10: Design for degradability - "Chemical products should be designed so that
       at the end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do
       not persist in the environment" (Anastas and Warner 1998).

DfE incorporates these two green chemistry principles in its criteria, and applies them in its
assessment of chemical hazard and fate in the environment. This approach enables identification
of safer substitutes that emphasize greener chemistry, and points the way to innovation in safer
chemical design, where hazard becomes a part of a performance evaluation.

Alternatives, Life-Cycle, and Risk Assessments

Alternatives assessment, life-cycle assessment (LCA), and risk assessment are tools that can be
used to evaluate and improve the sustainability profiles of chemicals, products, and services.
These tools, which can be complementary to one another, should be selected according to the
ultimate decisions needing to be made, and other regulatory and policy considerations. DfE
Alternatives Assessments establish a foundation that other tools, such as risk assessment and
LCA, can build upon.

Risk assessment  and alternatives assessment are both based on the premise that risk is a function
of hazard and exposure. Risk assessment characterizes the nature and magnitude of hazard and
exposure from chemical contaminants and other stressors. A DfE Alternatives Assessment
evaluates and compares the nature of the chemical hazards, and reflects a view that when
exposure is comparable, risk is reduced through the use of less hazardous chemicals. Alternatives
assessment strives to decrease the reliance on exposure controls, thus reducing risk when
exposure controls fail.

An LCA can create a robust picture of a variety of environmental impacts associated with the
material and energy inputs and outputs throughout the life cycle (or part of a life cycle) of a
product or service, and by doing so can identify opportunities for reducing those impacts.
However, an LCA may not assess the inherent hazards of the chemical inputs and outputs for
each life cycle stage. During decision-making, risk assessment or LCA can be applied to the
lower-hazard or potentially preferable alternatives, to further distinguish between preferable
substitutes, or to  identify unintended consequences.

1.4  DfE Alternatives Assessment and the Toxic Substances Control Act

EPA's DfE Program is administered by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT),
which is charged with the implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the
Pollution Prevention Act (PPA).

Central to the administration of TSCA is the management of the TSCA Inventory. Section 8 (b)
of TSCA requires EPA to compile, keep current, and publish a list of each chemical substance
that is manufactured or processed in the United States. Companies are required to verify the
TSCA status of any substance they wish to manufacture or import for a TSCA-related purpose.
For more information, please refer to the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory
website: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/basic.html.
                                           1-6

-------
Substances selected for evaluation in a DfE Alternatives Assessment generally are subject to
TSCA regulations, and therefore must be listed on the TSCA Inventory, or be exempt or
excluded from reporting before being manufactured in or imported to, or otherwise introduced in
commerce in, the United States. For more information
see http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/pubs/whofiles.htm.

To be as inclusive as possible, DfE Alternatives Assessments may consider substances that may
not have been reviewed yet as new chemicals under TSCA, and therefore may not be listed on
the TSCA Inventory. DfE has worked with stakeholders to identify and include chemicals that
are of interest and likely to be functional alternatives, regardless of their TSCA status. Chemical
identities are gathered from the scientific literature and from stakeholders and, for non-
confidential substances, appropriate TSCA identities are provided.

Persons are advised that substances, including DfE-identified functional alternatives, may not be
introduced into U.S. commerce unless they are in compliance with TSCA. Introducing such
substances without adhering to the TSCA provisions may be a violation of applicable law. Those
who are considering using a substance discussed in this report should check with the
manufacturer or importer about the substance's TSCA status. If you have questions about the
reportability of substances under TSCA, please contact the OPPT Industrial Chemistry Branch at
202-564-8740.

2   Hazard Evaluation Results for Flame Retardants  Used in
    Flexible Polyurethane Foam

2.1   Hazard Comparison Table

The hazard comparison table is shown below, followed by the results described both by the
chemical groupings found in the hazard comparison table and by type of hazard endpoint.

Other approaches to improving fire safety of upholstered FPUF products exist, including flame
resistant cover fabrics and fire barriers, which could be comprised of chemically treated
materials (e.g., treated cotton-based materials) or inherently flame retardant materials (e.g., wool,
Kevlar), and nanoclay technologies (See Section 4). These alternative technologies are not
assessed for hazard in this report. The DfE Hazard Evaluation Criteria (described in Section
5.1.2) are not amenable to assessing the hazard from the flame resistant cover fabrics and fire
barriers. Additionally, the DfE Hazard Evaluation Criteria have not been evaluated for suitability
to assess nano-sized substances. Further, layer-by-layer nanoclay technologies are currently in
research and development and are not commercially available for use in upholstered FPUF
products.

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and
combustion by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the
information in the table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard — Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, , H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from predictive models and/or professional judgment.

2.2  Hazard and Fate Results by Chemical Group

The components of Firemaster® 550, thought to be one of the primary alternatives used since
pentaBDE was phased out, are predicted to have Moderate to High hazards for reproductive,
developmental, neurological and repeated dose toxicities. The phosphate components have
inherently Very High hazard for aquatic toxicity, due to the phosphate ester structure and
molecular weight (MW); all the components have Moderate or High potential to bioaccumulate,
based on parent compound or  degradation products. Similar to several of the alternatives
evaluated, the components TBB and TBPH lack full data characterization necessary to
adequately describe hazard and risk.

Firemaster® 600 is currently marketed for use in flexible polyurethane foams and other
applications as a mixture of phosphorus and bromine based flame retardants (Great Lakes
Solutions, 2010; Chemtura, 2014). Although the identity and composition of some of the
ingredients in Firemaster® 600 are proprietary and cannot be disclosed in this report, the
summary hazard designation profile is provided, based upon the mixture component with the
highest hazard. The hazard designations for Firemaster® 600 are similar to Firemaster® 550.

The chlorinated phosphorus  alternatives are tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), tris (2-
chloro-1-methylethyl) phosphate (TCPP), tris (l,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP), and
phosphoric acid, P,P'-[2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-l,3-propanediyl] P,P,P',P'-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)
ester (V6), which are fairly well characterized with empirical test data. In addition to
Firemaster® 550, TDCPP is also thought to be one of the primary alternatives used to replace
pentaBDE in FPUF. The four  chlorinated phosphate substances exhibit several distinguishing
characteristics. They have Moderate to High hazard designations for at least four of the
following human health endpoints: carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, reproductive toxicity,
developmental/ neurodevelopmental toxicity, neurological toxicity,  and repeated dose toxicity.
TCEP is  also acutely toxic. These four substances also have aquatic toxicity hazards in the
Moderate to High range, but lack adequate characterization of chronic aquatic toxicity. Due to
the structure and size of these  substances they are not expected to bioaccumulate, but there is a
potential for 'pseudo persistence.' Pseudo persistence is a term for chemicals that are observed to
be continually present in the environment because they are released at a rate greater than or equal
to their rate of removal.

The non-halogenated alternatives include two inorganics, the nitrogen substance melamine, and a
collection of non-halogenated  phosphate esters.

The hazard profiles for the inorganics ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and expandable
graphite indicate lower levels  of concern than the other profiles in this report. APP is a high MW
polymer. Although APP is not well characterized with test data, it is predicted to be Low hazard
based on its structure and very high MW. While it is not expected to be readily absorbed due to
its MW, it is predicted to be highly persistent. Expandable  graphite is not likely to bioaccumulate
and has potentially Low to Moderate human health and aquatic toxicity, but there is low
confidence in the hazard profile due to the lack of empirical data, and there is potential for the
use of hazardous chemical washes in the production process.
                                           2-5

-------
The profile for melamine identifies key hazards in human health endpoints including acute
toxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, reproductive and repeated dose toxicity. Bioaccumulation
potential is low, aquatic toxicity is Low, and persistence is High, but with potential for
degradation.

The phosphorus-based non-halogenated alternatives have varied designations for human
health toxicity; several have Moderate to High hazard for reproductive, developmental,
neurological, and repeated dose toxicity, in addition to insufficient data to characterize the
potential for carcinogenicity. These human health hazards are compounded by the Very High
aquatic toxicity associated with the phosphate esters of this size and structure. Trade-offs can be
seen within this group: the more degradable (Low to Moderate persistence) phosphate esters
triphenyl phosphate (TPP), tricresyl phosphate (TCP), isopropylated triphenyl phosphate
(IPTPP) and tris (p-t-butylphenyl) phosphate (TBPP) have High to Very High aquatic toxicity
and Moderate to High bioaccumulation potential, whereas the more persistent substances diethyl
bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate and oligomeric ethyl ethylene phosphate have
Moderate to Low aquatic toxicity and bioaccumulation designations.

While there is uncertainty associated with the hazard profiles of diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-
aminomethylphosphonate, the oligomeric ethyl ethylene phosphate, and the oligomeric
phosphonate polyol, due to heavy reliance on analog or modeled data (especially for the two
oligomers)--yielding conservative Moderate designations for several human health endpoints,
they may be the most preferable out of all the chemicals assessed in this report. Of these three
chemicals, the most preferable may be the oligomeric phosphonate polyol, which has Low to
Moderate aquatic toxicity, Moderate persistence, and Low bioaccumulation potential. Human
health and aquatic toxicity designations are Low or Moderate for this chemical.  Also, the
oligomeric phosphonate polyol is a component of the polyurethane foam, and as  such may have
no potential for release from the foam during product use. The combination of Low to Moderate
hazard designations and its reaction into the polyurethane foam make oligomeric phosphonate
polyol an alternative anticipated to be safer for use in upholstered polyurethane foam, when
flame retardants are added to make the end-use product meet flammability standards.

Two proprietary mixtures that are new to the market were also reviewed.  EPA knows the
chemical identification, but cannot reveal it in this report due to regulations regarding
confidential business information. The two mixtures have one or more components with highest
hazards for aquatic toxicity, and the potential to bioaccumulate.

2.3  Hazard and Fate Results by Endpoint

The following text describes results by class of endpoint:  human health, aquatic  toxicity,
persistence, and bioaccumulation potential.

The human health endpoints evaluated in DfE Alternatives Assessments include  acute toxicity,
carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity,
repeated dose toxicity, skin sensitization, respiratory sensitization, eye irritation,  and dermal
irritation. Acute mammalian toxicity was Low for all but four of the alternatives: tricresyl
phosphate, melamine, TCEP, and Emerald InnovationNH-1. Carcinogenicity and genotoxicity
hazards varied among the alternatives, with many Low or Moderate designations. Two of the
                                           2-6

-------
chemicals had High concerns for carcinogenicity: TCEP and TDCPP. Reproductive,
developmental, neurological, and repeated dose toxicity varied from Low to High across the
chemicals. Irritation and sensitization endpoints were generally not distinguishing, with many
Low or Very Low designations, although a few substances had Moderate designations.

Aquatic toxicity hazards varied significantly, due to the diverse chemistries of the alternatives.
The endpoints evaluated in DfE Alternatives Assessments include acute and chronic aquatic
toxicity based on water column exposures, which may not be suitable tests for some of the
poorly soluble substances.

Most flame retardants have High or Very High persistence designations, because they are
expected to be stable by design in order to maintain their flame retardant properties throughout
the lifetime of the product. Several of the flame retardant alternatives in this report were not
designated as highly persistent, including TPP, which is readily biodegradable (low persistence).
Also, TCP, IPTPP, TBPP, and TCEP are inherently biodegradable chemicals that degrade slowly
(Moderate persistence); however, these substances have aquatic toxicity hazards, including
deformities in fish and eutrophication from degradation to inorganic phosphates. There is an
apparent trade-off between persistence and toxicity for diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-
aminomethylphosphonate and the oligomeric ethyl ethylene phosphate that have High and Very
High persistence but Low to Moderate toxicity. The oligomeric phosphonate polyol appears to
remove this trade-off with only estimated Moderate persistence and estimated Low - Moderate
toxicity. Predicting long-term fate in the environment is challenging, so there is an uncertainty as
to how substances will eventually degrade, and whether some substances that are degradable  in
standard tests may be 'pseudo persistent.'

The ability of a chemical to accumulate in living organisms is described by bioconcentration,
bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and/or trophic magnification factors. Some  of the
alternatives assessed in this report also have  a High potential for bioaccumulation, including the
New-to-Market mixtures, the brominated alternatives, and some of the phosphate alternatives:
TCP, IPTPP, and TBPP.
                                           2-7

3  Flexible Polyurethane Foam Flame Retardants and
    Flammability Standards

This section provides an overview of flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF), discusses which flame
retardants are used in FPUF, and summarizes the standards that drive their use. For more details
about FPUF, and its manufacture and exposure potential during the manufacturing processes, see
Chapter 3 of the 2005 FFRP report2.

3.1   Flexible Polyurethane Foam

Numerous types of furniture and other products incorporate FPUF. Rigid polyurethane foams, by
contrast, are used in insulation, construction, and other applications (ISOPA 2005), and are not
assessed in this report update.

Flexible foam is made either in large slabs ("slabstock") that are cut to shape, or in molds that
have the shape of the finished product. The basic ingredients include polyols, isocyanates,
blowing agents, and other additives (including flame retardants). In manufacturing slabstock, the
ingredients are blended in a mixing head and deposited  on a conveyor belt, where the
polymerization reactions occur, and the foam is expanded by blowing agents into  a large (e.g., 60
foot) "bun."  The buns are cured before being cut into shapes for a finished product. In molded
foam, the polymerization reactions occur within the mold, and are heated to accelerate curing.

Furniture and other foam product manufacturers typically receive cured foam and do not directly
handle flame retardant chemicals. Because slabstock is made in very large buns, uses requiring
smaller pieces of foam may consist of off-cuts from larger buns. This may be why smaller
polyurethane foam products may contain flame retardants, even when they are not required to do
so by regulation.

3.2   Flame Retardant Classification and Exposure Considerations

Flame retardants used in FPUF are typically classified as "additive." Additive flame retardants
are blended evenly into the foam, but remain unbound. Additive flame retardants are expected to
be more mobile during the consumer use phase, for example, by volatilizing from the foam, by
being washed from the foam or from the foam surface, or in dust as the foam itself is
mechanically  abraded. Reactive flame retardants are chemically bound to the polymer in the
finished product and are used in rigid PUF; they are not typically used in FPUF.

Additive flame retardants have been widely identified in air, house dust,  and handwipe samples
(Stapleton, Allen et al. 2008; Dodson, Perovich et al. 2012; Stapleton, Eagle et al. 2012; van der
Veen and de Boer 2012; Carignan, Heiger-Bernays et al. 2013), supporting the idea that additive
flame retardants can mobilize from a plastic or foam into the local microenvironment.
Furthermore, detection of additive flame retardants in blood and urine samples (Stapleton, Eagle
 Available at: http://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/environmental-profiles-chemical-flame-retardant-alternatives-low-
density-polyurethane.
                                          3-1

-------
et al. 2012; Carignan, McClean et al. 2013) and in vivo studies (Patisaul, Roberts et al. 2012)
demonstrate the bioavailability and absorption of several additive flame retardants.

Reactive flame retardants, because they are chemically bound to the foam polymer itself, are
expected to have lower mobility, volatility, and bioavailability than additive flame retardants,
especially in the consumer use phase of product life. However, reactive flame retardants may still
be released from furniture, either because they are liberated from the polymer, or the original
polymerization was incomplete (U.S. EPA 2005a). As such, exposure to reactive flame
retardants could occur at all points in the life cycle, including manufacture, use, and disposal.

Under conditions where fire or incineration occurs, a halogenated substance may contribute to
halogenated dibenzodioxin and dibenzofuran formation, increase the generation of PAHs, and
impact fire parameters such as smoke and carbon monoxide (Sidhu,  Morgan et al. 2013).
However,  combustion reactions are complex and variable, and make inclusion of combustion
byproducts in hazard assessment challenging. Both halogenated and non-halogenated flame
retardants may yield other toxic by-products that would need to be compared, not only
halogenated dioxins and furans. For these reasons, the pyrolysis transformation products are not
assessed in this report.

3.3   Sources of Data for Identifying Foam Flame Retardants

Published Data

Publication of the 2005 FFRP report was one of a set of actions undertaken by EPA and other
stakeholders in response to growing concerns about pentaBDE. After a voluntary phase-out of
pentaBDE by the sole U.S. manufacturer in 2004, EPA issued a Significant New Use Rule
(SNUR), effective August 14, 2006, to ensure that production could not re-commence in the
United States without prior notice to EPA.

Recent data suggest that the pentaBDE phase-out has had the desired effect of decreasing the
environmental prevalence of the flame retardant. A study of house dust in 16 California homes
found an overall reduction in median values of pentaBDE components between 2006 and 2011;
the declines in pentaBDE component concentrations were significantly associated with new
(purchased between 2006 and 2011) furniture,  electronics, and flooring (Dodson, Perovich et al.
2012). However, the changes were not uniform; two homes showed  marked increases in
pentaBDE congeners. In another study of 102 FPUF samples from residential couches purchased
across the United States, including 24 percent from California, pentaBDE was identified in 16 of
41 samples purchased between 1985 and 2004, but in only one of the 61  samples dating from
2005 or later (Stapleton, Sharma et al. 2012).

These same studies, along with others, helped confirm the major flame retardants used to replace
pentaBDE. In the study of residential couches, TDCPP was detected in 52 percent of foam
samples dating from 2005 or later (Stapleton, Sharma et al. 2012). Firemaster® 550, identified by
its brominated components, TBB and TBPH, was identified in 18 percent of post-phase-out
samples, while alkylated triphenyl phosphates were identified in another 16 percent of samples.
In only 2 of the 61 post-phase-out samples were flame retardants not identified. The high
detection rate of flame retardants, even in couches purchased outside of California, suggested to
                                          3-2

-------
the authors that California's furniture flammability standard 1975 Technical Bulletin (TB) 117
(TB117; see Section 3.5 for more details on the recent update to this standard) "is becoming a de
facto standard across the United States" (Stapleton, Sharma et al. 2012).

Several other flame retardants were identified in these studies. In a study of foam baby products,
Stapleton et al. (2011) identified a chlorinated organophosphate flame retardant (OPFR) sold
commercially as V6, previously thought to be used in automobiles; TCPP, a major flame
retardant in FPUF in the United Kingdom, but expected to have limited use in the United States;
and TCEP. All of these chemicals are included in the current report.

Stakeholder Information

In the course of developing this report, DfE had conversations with several stakeholders from the
2005 FFRP, other stakeholders in the chemical and furniture industries, and academic
researchers with expertise on flame retardancy. DfE developed a candidate list of chemicals
known to be used in FPUF, including a number of flame retardants for which there was the
possibility of use, but that were ultimately excluded from the report. Discussion of these lists
with various stakeholders provided critical information about flame retardant use, including
valuable information about the limitations of some flame retardants (e.g., that discolor or
"scorch" the foam) that likely limit their use in the marketplace.

Process of Identifying Chemicals for Assessment

Flame retardant chemicals assessed in this update were identified through the following
approach:

       1. Reviewed all chemicals from the 2005 report. Many of the chemicals were identified
       in the original report by proprietary placeholders (i.e., generic names). In some of these
       cases, the chemicals have since been publicly identified either by the manufacturer or by
       another party; for example, the brominated components of Firemaster® 550 were
       identified publicly by Stapleton et al. (2008). In these cases, the publicly available
       chemical names were used. Many of the compounds assessed in the 2005 report are no
       longer sold; manufacturer information as well as direct conversations with manufacturers
       was used to ascertain the current market status of these products.

       2. Identified products advertised for use in FPUF. Website and promotional materials
       from the major U.S. manufacturers, as well as from the trade organization Phosphorus,
       Inorganic & Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association (PINFA), were reviewed.
       Manufacturers of proprietary formulations were  also consulted to ensure that the
       candidate list included all chemical components.

       3. Examined all PMN chemicals associated with FPUF that were identified by PMN
       submitters as being suitable for flame retardancy. New chemicals are required by TSCA
       to be submitted by the manufacturer through the PMN process before being produced in
       or imported into the United States. In some cases it was possible for these PMNs to be
                                          3-3

-------
       associated with trade names, to ascertain whether they were sold for possible use in
       FPUF or limited to other markets (e.g., rigid polyurethane foam).

       4. Added flame retardants identified in furniture and other FPUF applications by
       external researchers. In particular, all flame retardants recently identified in FPUF baby
       products by Stapleton et al. were included.

Chemicals identified through these sources were then grouped into two lists: chemicals known
to be currently used in FPUF, which would therefore be assessed; and chemicals thought not to
be used in FPUF (see Table 3-1 and Table 3-2, respectively). Stakeholders from the 2005
partnership and other experts were then contacted, and provided with the proposed lists of
chemicals to be included and excluded. In some cases, each chemical on the lists was discussed
to receive feedback on whether it was actually in use, or specific reasons its use had been halted.

When chemicals were excluded from the assessment, the reason for exclusion is given on that
list. For example, some flame retardants were identified by manufacturers' promotional materials
as being suitable for polyurethane foam, but were described by experts as suitable only for rigid
polyurethane, lacking the appropriate characteristics for FPUF (e.g., unsuitable viscosity). Other
chemicals had previously been  identified as suitable for FPUF, but are no longer sold for that
market.

It is difficult to assess the precise number and volume of flame retardants used in furniture and
other products. Although chemical manufacturers are required to periodically report the amount
of raw chemicals manufactured in or imported into the United States, there is no general
requirement for disclosure of the amount of chemicals contained in manufactured or imported
articles.

As mentioned above, chemical  and FPUF manufacturers consulted for this report identified
issues such as odor and scorch with particular flame retardant chemicals, and suggested that they
are unlikely to be in use in the United States. Flame retardant chemicals phased out by U.S.
manufacturers with odor or scorch issues are unlikely to be used in overseas manufacture as well.

3.4  Notes on Specific Foam Flame Retardants

Notes on selected foam flame retardant chemicals included in the report follow.

   •   TDCPP, known to be a major flame retardant in FPUF and produced in a volume
       between 10 and 50 million pounds per year in 2011, was listed by California as a
       Proposition 65 chemical3 in late 2011 for concerns about carcinogenicity (OEHHA 2011;
       U.S. EPA 2013a).  The Proposition 65 listing may impact the TDCPP market because it
       requires relabeling products that contain TDCPP for sale in California, though labeling of
       TDCPP products for sale outside of California is not required. TDCPP was identified by
       Stapleton, Sharma et al. (2012) in more than half of couch samples tested since 2005. In
       2012, the major U.S. manufacturer of TDCPP announced a voluntary phase-out of
       TDCPP production by 2015 (ICL Industrial Products 2012). New York State has banned
       TDCPP from use in children's products, including baby products, toys, car seats, nursing
       pillows, crib mattresses, strollers and other items intended for use by children under three
       years of age, effective December 1, 2015 (New York State Governor's Office 2014).
       Maryland has also prohibited importing, selling,  or offering for sale any child care
       product containing more than one-tenth of 1% (by mass) of TDCPP intended for use by
       children under the age of three including baby products, toys, car seats, nursing pillows,
       crib mattresses, and strollers (State of Maryland 2014). The ban became effective on
       October 1, 2014, and does not contain a provision for phasing out existing stock.

   •   There has been recent opposition from consumer and environmental groups to the use of
       halogenated flame retardants, and this opposition may shape  the market suitability of
       these flame retardants, regardless of hazard data. Some shift away from halogenated
       flame retardants appears to have already occurred. While the 2005 FFRP report assessed
       a number of brominated flame retardants, the two brominated components of Firemaster®
       550 (TBB and TBPH) are the only brominated flame retardants included in the current
       update report.

   •   Although TCEP was previously not thought to be used in foam, it has been identified in
       upholstered FPUF products (Stapleton, Klosterhaus et al. 2011). TCEP was a TSCA work
       plan chemical for 2013-14, so the DfE Alternatives Assessment process is a useful
       contribution to other EPA activities on this compound (U.S. EPA 2013b). New York
       State banned the sale or offer for sale of children's products containing TCEP, effective
       December, 1,  2013 (State of New York 2011). Maryland also passed a law prohibiting
       the import, sale, or offer for sale of child care products containing more than one-tenth of
       1%  (by mass) of TCEP intended for use by children under the age of three, including
       baby products, toys, car seats, nursing pillows, crib mattresses,  and strollers (State of
       Maryland 2014). The ban became effective on October 1, 2014, and does not contain a
       provision for phasing out existing stock.
3 A chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity; businesses are required to
provide a warning (e.g., label consumer products, distribute notices to residents) when exposure to a Proposition 65
chemical may occur.

   •   TCPP and melamine are the major flame retardants used in the United Kingdom to meet
       the stringent "Crib 5" standard (BS-5852; UK Parliament 1988), but use of this mixture is
       not known to be common in the United States. However, because TCPP was identified in
       FPUF products by Stapleton et al. (2011), it is included in this report.

   •   The larger molecule "V6" (CASRN 38051-10-4) has been used in automobile foam, due
       to its lower volatility, but was also identified by Stapleton et al. (2011) in baby products.
       V6 is a dimer of TCEP, and contains TCEP as an impurity.

   •   Researchers first experimented with the use of expandable graphite in FPUF in the
       1980s, but performance limitations restricted its commercial adoption (Bhagat 2001).
       These limitations have been overcome (Wolska, Gozdzikiewicz et al. 2012; Wang, Ge et
       al. 2013), and expandable graphite is now considered viable in FPUF (PINFA 2012).

   •   A new molecule, "U-OPFR" ("unknown organophosphate flame retardant," BCMP-
       BCMEP), a dimer of TCPP, was identified by Stapleton et al. (2011). This molecule is
       not in EPA's CDR data on the manufacturing, processing, and use of commercial
       chemical substances and mixtures; however, it is possible that whole products with this
       molecule have been imported. Experts consulted by DfE were unfamiliar with this
       molecule, and no references to it beyond the Stapleton paper have been identified. U-
       OPFR was not assessed in this update, because there is no evidence of commercial
       production of this chemical.

Flame Retardants  as Mixtures

The assessment of flame retardant hazard properties is complicated by the fact that many flame
retardant products are sold as mixtures. This may be the result of a deliberate mixing of diverse
flame retardant chemicals for performance reasons, or as a natural result of the synthesis of the
flame retardant molecules. For example,  a number of flame retardant products now contain
alkylated triphenyl phosphates with a number of different side chains in use (e.g., methyl,
isopropyl, tert-butyl). As a natural result  of the synthesis process, these mixtures are likely to
contain the unalkylated TPP itself,  along with mixtures of mono-, di-, tri-, and possibly higher
alkyl substitutions. Each of these substitutions can also occur in numerous isomers (e.g., the
substitution might occur on the meta, ortho, or para positions). A single product identified as
IPTPP, therefore, may in fact consist of a large number of molecules of differing properties,
making evaluation more difficult.

Deliberate mixtures of different molecules are also common. Most notably, Firemaster® 550 has
been identified as a mixture of TBB, TBPH, TPP, and IPTPP (Stapleton, Allen et al. 2008);
approximately 50% of the mixture is TBB and TBPH at a ratio of 4:1 by mass, while the
remainder is comprised of the other two molecules. This constitutes a challenge to the DfE
assessment process. Some of the  toxicity studies available are of the Firemaster® 550 mixture
itself; others are of the mixture of only the two brominated components (also sold as Firemaster®
BZ-54), while some data exist for each component individually.  Therefore, it is not always
possible to attribute effects seen in  toxicologic studies to an individual component. (Effects
                                         3-16

-------
resulting from additive, synergistic, or antagonistic interactions of a combination could
complicate the analysis further.) It is likely that the composition of some commercial products
varies from batch to batch. In addition, differential volatilization, degradation, or absorption may
lead to different exposure patterns to the individual components at various points along the life
cycle of the product.

DfE attempted to assess hazard profiles of the commercial products, where possible. For
example, since mono- and tri-substituted cresyl triphenyl phosphate are sold as different
products, DfE listed them separately in the list of substances for assessment, but for efficiency
assessed the variety of substitutions of the cresyl phosphate in one profile "tricresyl phosphate."
Similarly, since IPTPP appears to be sold as a mixture of mono/di/tri-substitutions, that mixture
was evaluated as a whole. In practical terms, little data are available for each component, and
most available data are associated with a mixture. Where data on individual components do exist,
DfE takes a conservative approach by using the highest hazard designation for any one
component of the mixture as the hazard designation for the whole mixture.

In the case of mixtures of dissimilar molecules, DfE evaluated,  as far as possible, both the
components and the complete mixture. Here, again, DfE's criteria were followed in assigning to
each endpoint for the mixture the highest hazard call for a mixture component. (No attempt was
made to assess synergistic or other interactions between component chemicals.) For example,
Firemaster® 600 is a mixture of phosphorus and bromine-based flame retardants marketed for
use in flexible polyurethane foams and other applications. Although the identity and composition
of some of the ingredients in Firemaster® 600 are proprietary and cannot be described in this
report, the summary hazard designations based upon the mixture component with the highest
hazard are provided.

3.5   Standards that Influence the Use of Flame Retardants

Several regulations currently drive the use of flame retardants in FPUF. As described below,
changes to some of the standards have been proposed or passed. As these changes are
implemented, this report will provide valuable information on available alternatives to enable
informed substitution, should there be a continuing need for flame retardants in FPUF or
upholstery fabric.

California TB117

In 1975, California's Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings and
Thermal Insulation (BEARHFTI) (then the Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal
Insulation) promulgated TB117. Meeting TB117 required a small, candle-sized flame to be
applied directly to the uncovered foam for 12 seconds without igniting a fire (Cal/DCA 2000).
Passing such a test required either an IFR foam or the use of flame retardants. The most common
solution was the addition of flame retardants to FPUF (NRDC 2013). Since manufacturers
generally prefer to make a single product for the U.S. market, the TB117 standard had to some
extent become a national de facto standard.  TB117 required labeling of compliant furniture in
California, but labels did not always appear in other states.
                                          3-17

-------
In 2010, California amended TB117 to specifically exempt "juvenile furniture":  "strollers, infant
carriers, and nursing pillows" (Cal/DCA 2010). However, as described above, FPUF is
manufactured in large (60-foot) "buns," which are then cut to shape. It is likely that most buns
are made with flame retardants, in anticipation of being used in a mixture of TB117-compliant
and -exempt products.  Similarly, the flame retardants in FPUF "pit cubes" identified by
Carignan, Heiger-Bernays, et al. (2013) in a study of gymnast exposure to flame retardants may
have been the result of a manufacturing process that incorporates flame retardants to meet TB117
standards.

In 2013, California enacted changes to the TB117 standard. In contrast to the  1975 standard, the
new TB117-2013 does not require open flame testing for filling materials used in upholstered
furniture. TB117-2013 tests for smolder resistance by applying a lit cigarette to a miniature
assembly of the cover fabrics, barrier materials, and filling materials that represents the finished
piece of furniture (Cal/DCA 2013b). Fabric materials failing the smolder test  can still be used if
a fire blocker (inter-liner) layer is added. The new test is based on the voluntary American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) El353 standard (Cal/DCA 2013b). Manufacturers
were able to use the new testing requirements as of January 1, 2014, and required to be fully
compliant by January 1, 2015 (California Governor's Office 2013).

Although TB117-2013 does not regulate or mandate the use of flame retardant chemicals,
BEARHFTI anticipates that the new standard will significantly reduce or eliminate
manufacturers' use of flame retardant chemicals in upholstered furniture, because these products
may meet the new standards without the use of flame retardant chemicals (Cal/DCA 2013a).
Many of the more common thermoplastic fabrics are likely to pass the smolder test, although
some fabrics, primarily cellulosic, are likely to need modification before passing the test (CPSC
2008).  Although not assessed for possible hazards in this  report, Section 4 provides information
on flame retardant technologies that may provide increased fire safety, with and without the use
of flame retardant chemicals.

A number of other localities have passed flammability standards, which are often based on
California standards; for example, the Boston Fire Code incorporates TB133 (Boston Fire
Department 1995). How local standards will change as a result of revisions to TB117 remains an
open question.

California TB133

The more stringent TB133 standard, promulgated in  1991, was designed to increase fire safety in
public  spaces. Meeting TB133 requires a large open flame, provided by a gas burner, to be
applied to the assembled piece of furniture for about  80 seconds without igniting a fire. TB133
has been used as the basis for legislation in other localities (TB133 compliance is often voluntary
for sprinklered buildings, in which case TB117 still applies in California  (PFA 1992)).

Detailed data on how products meet TB133 are not available, but two general approaches are
possible: the use of flame-retardant fabrics and foams that together provide suitable flame
resistance; alternatively, an intrinsically flame-retardant fire blocker or "inter-liner" layer can be
used between the foam and the cover fabric (PFA 1992). Anecdotal evidence  gathered from
                                          3-18

-------
manufacturers suggests that the foam components are typically TB117 compliant, and that a
cover fabric back-coated with flame retardant is commonly used. No public data exist on which
flame retardants are used in back-coatings.

Consumer Product Safety Commission

In a March 4, 2008, notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) published in the Federal Register,
CPSC proposed a national standard addressing the risk of deaths and injuries associated with
residential upholstered furniture fires4 (CPSC 2008). The proposed rule focused primarily on
fires ignited by smoldering cigarettes. The standard could be met by either using cover materials
that are sufficiently smolder-resistant to meet a cigarette ignition performance test, or by using
fire barriers (inter-liners) that meet smoldering and open flame resistance tests placed between
the cover fabric and interior filling materials. In order to reduce reliance on additive flame
retardants, the proposed rule  did not contain performance requirements for filling materials. As
such, CPSC specified a standard foam that did not include any flame retardant chemicals when
testing cover materials, thereby removing additive flame retardants in the foam from
consideration in order to meet the requirements of the flame resistance test. Technical challenges
with the test methods in this approach prompted CPSC staff to investigate other approaches.
Validation of the test methodology proposed in the NPR showed that furniture constructed with
fire barriers and exposed to a small open flame produced a significantly less intense fire than
furniture constructed without fire barriers. CPSC staff believes the fire barrier approach may
have the potential to address  nearly all of the upholstered furniture-related fires and save more
lives each year than the 2008 proposed standard. Subsequently,  in 2013, CPSC requested
comments on a standard that  would cover a wider range of ignition sources found in the home
(CPSC 2013a).

It should be noted that other open flame standards, including the more stringent Crib 5  standard
in the United Kingdom, which tests PUF covered with a standard fire-retarded polyester fabric
but does not allow for the use of fire barriers, are typically met with a combination of additive
flame retardants (NRDC 2013).

Other Standards and Laws

The Upholstered Furniture Action Council (UFAC) has developed a voluntary industry standard
for cigarette ignition, which is embodied in the ASTM E-1353 method. The revised California
TB117-2013 follows this method, with modifications. CPSC estimates that 90% of currently
produced furniture  meets the voluntary UFAC standard, which does not address open flame
ignitions (CPSC 2008).

In 2013, the New York State Assembly (the lower house of the Legislature) passed a bill
(A06557 in the Assembly, introduced as S04780 in the Senate) that would  establish an as-yet-
undefined open flame standard for furniture (NY State Assembly 2013). The bill also prohibits
the use of halogenated flame  retardants in furniture. Also, as noted in Section 3.4, New York
4 This standard would apply to cushioned, upholstered seating products available for residential, home office, and/or
dormitory use.
                                          3-19

-------
State has also passed a law (A4741/S3703-B) banning TDCPP from consumer products intended
for use by children under three years of age, such as baby products, toys, car seats, nursing
pillows, crib mattresses, and strollers, effective December 1, 2015 (New York State Governor's
Office 2014). New York State banned the sale of children's products containing TCEP in 2011,
effective December  1, 2013 (State of New York 2011).

As also noted in Section 3.4, Maryland passed a law prohibiting the importing,  selling, or
offering for sale any child care product containing more than one-tenth of 1% (by mass) of
TDCPP and TCEP. Under the law, child care products are those intended for use by children
under the age of three, including baby products, toys,  car seats, nursing pillows, crib mattresses,
and strollers (State of Maryland 2014). The ban became effective on October 1, 2014, and does
not contain a provision for phasing out existing stock.

During its July 2013 meeting, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards
Council reviewed a request to consider establishing an open flame standard for upholstered
furniture. In 2014, NFPA was accepting public comments on the need for a new standard,
available resources on the issue,  individuals who may be interested in participating in the
development of a new standard, and organizations involved in furniture flame retardant standards
(Durso 2013; NFPA 2013).

Other Product Sectors

In addition to furniture, other products contain upholstered FPUF. Automobile and aircraft
seating is constructed in a manner similar to furniture, with a need for stringent fire protection, as
well as other requirements. For example, the flame retardant known as "V6" (Phosphoric acid,
P,P'-[2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-l,3-propanediyl] P,P,P',P'-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl) ester) has a higher
molecular weight (MW) and lower volatility, and has  been identified in automobile applications,
where window fogging is an important problem. Aircraft seating is less cost-sensitive than most
consumer products, and has relied on more expensive flame barriers as well as additive flame
retardants, including expandable graphite. This report includes all flame retardants that DfE
identified as being used in these  other sectors; this update does not address the flammability
standards for these sectors.

Impacts of Changing Standards

It is difficult to  predict the impact of changes to these standards on the use  of flame retardants.
The recent changes to TB117, moving from an open flame to a smolder test, may lessen the need
for flame retardant additives in foam; however, for some fabrics, TB117-2013 will still require
flame retardant  coatings or other modifications. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and
New York State have indicated that they may issue a performance-based standard that is more
difficult to meet than TB117 (e.g., an open flame test); if they do, it may need to be met either
with flame retardant inter-liners or with higher loads of flame retardants in foam, a choice made
by individual manufacturers and likely to be driven in many cases by costs.

4  Alternative Flame Retardant Solutions not Addressed in
    This Report

While the focus of recent public attention has been on additive flame retardant chemicals in
FPUF, other methods can be used to provide increased fire safety. These methods are described
briefly here; however, this update does not attempt to fully characterize these methods. A
rigorous comparison of costs and benefits, particularly over the product life cycle, would require
analysis beyond the scope of this report. More information on alternative methods is available in
the 2005 FFRP report. Additionally, with the advent of changes to flammability standards,
manufacturers may also consider whether the standards can be met without incorporating flame
retardants to FPUF. In fact, several major furniture manufacturers have announced plans to
produce furniture that does not contain flame retardants (Chicago Tribune 2015).

Flame Resistant Cover Fabrics

In its 2008 proposal for a national furniture flame retardancy standard, CPSC estimated that
about 14% of fabrics used at that time would fail the proposed smolder test (CPSC 2008); these
fabrics could be coated with a flame retardant to meet a smolder test. Coating fabrics raises the
issue of chemical safety in the coatings used; flame retardant chemicals used for coatings tend to
differ from the flame retardant chemicals used in FPUF. Anecdotal information indicates that
decaBDE, tetrabromobisphenol A, and hexabromocyclododecane - each one the subject of a DfE
Alternatives Assessment (see http://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/design-environment-alternatives-
assessments) - have been used as fabric coatings (Stapleton July  2013, personal communication).
The current report does not attempt to identify or assess flame retardants used in fabric coatings.

Fire Barriers

To meet a more stringent test (e.g.,  an open flame test), a fire barrier may be used between the
foam and the upholstery fabric. A fire barrier may be IFR (e.g., Kevlar or Nomex), or may be
coated with a flame retardant chemical, possibly including the chemicals identified as
alternatives in this report. Fire barriers have proven highly effective in aircraft  seating, even in
extreme fire situations (CPSC 2013b). A suitable fire barrier is likely to be able to achieve
almost any flame retardancy standard; however, costs of such products are likely to be higher.
Mattresses meeting the CPSC 1633 open flame standard most commonly use fire barriers,
although designs of these barriers vary widely (Nazare, Davis et al. 2012).

Polymers and Reactive Flame Retardants

The current report includes only one polymeric flame retardant (excluding expandable graphite).
While polymers would be expected to have lower mobility, reducing exposures during the
consumer use phase, they are difficult to use in the manufacture of FPUF.  Polymeric and reactive
flame retardants typically have high viscosities incompatible with flexible polyurethane, are not
compatible with the extremely small pores used in the blending nozzle, and have difficulty
blending with the polyol. Reactive products are available in other product sectors (e.g., in printed
                                         4-1

-------
circuit boards), and there is great interest in the manufacturing industry in finding reactive flame
retardants for FPUF.

Nanoclays

There has been recent interest in nanoclay flame retardants, which may slow or prevent the
breakdown of materials and decrease the temperature of the flame, and have been shown to
improve the mechanical properties of polyurethane foam (Betts 2008; Nayani, Gunashekar et al.
2013). Nanoclays can also be combined with other classes of flame retardants to improve their
performance.  These materials are currently in the research and development stage, but may
become viable products in the near future. Layer-by-layer (LbL) coatings are  nanocomposite
structures assembled by an alternate deposition of anionic and cationic monolayers onto a
substrate (Li,  Schulz et al. 2009; Kim, Harris et al. 2012). The LbL deposition technique was
discovered in 1966, and flame retardant LbL coatings have recently gained attention beyond the
areas of academic research and  development, with some industrial companies pursuing  internal
studies on the effectiveness of LbL coatings as flame retardants in commercial products
(Apaydin, Laachachi  et al. 2013). Research has shown that LbL coatings can be effective flame
retardants for a number of different substrates including polyurethane foam (Kim, Harris et al.
2012; Laufer, Kirkland et al. 2012a) and cotton fabric (Li,  Schulz et al. 2009;  Laufer, Kirkland et
al. 2012b).

5  Hazard Evaluation Methodology

This section summarizes the lexicological and environmental hazards of furniture flame
retardants (FFRs) and each alternative chemical or proprietary mixture that was identified as a
potential functional substitute for them. Evaluations of chemical formulations may also include
associated substances (e.g.,  starting materials, byproducts, and impurities) if their presence is
specifically required to allow that alternative to fully function in the assigned role. Otherwise,
pure substances were analyzed in this assessment. Users of this DfE alternatives assessment
should be aware of the purity of the trade product they purchase, as the presence of impurities
may alter the assessment of the alternative. This report is a hazard assessment, not a risk
assessment. Hazard assessment as a risk management tool is discussed in more detail in Section
1.3.

Toxicological and environmental endpoints included in the hazard profiles are discussed in
Section 5.1, along with the criteria used to evaluate each hazard endpoint. Data sources and the
review methodology are described in Section 5.2. The report then offers a detailed description of
the utility of physical-chemical properties in understanding hazard in Section 5.3, and the
process of evaluating human health and environmental endpoints in Sections 5.4 and 5.5,
respectively. A discussion of the evaluation of endocrine activity is included in Section 5.6. The
characteristics of each chemical included in the alternatives assessment are summarized in the
comparative hazard summary table in Section 2. Lastly, the collected data and hazard profile of
each chemical are presented in Section 7.

5.1   Toxicological and Environmental Endpoints

The assessment of endpoints with the intent to create hazard profiles for a DfE alternatives
assessment follows the guidance of the DfE Alternatives Assessment Criteria for Hazard
Evaluation (U.S. EPA 201 Ib). The definitions for each endpoint evaluated following these
criteria are outlined in Section 5.1.1, and the criteria by which these endpoints are evaluated are
outlined in Section 5.1.2. Lastly, there are endpoints that DfE characterizes but to which it does
not assign criteria; these are summarized in Section 5.1.3.

5.1.1   Definitions of Each Endpoint Evaluated Against Criteria
Hazard designations for each chemical discussed in this report were made by direct comparison
of the experimental or estimated data to the DfE Alternatives Assessment Criteria for Hazard
Evaluation (U.S. EPA 201 Ib). Table 5-1 provides brief definitions of human health toxicity,
environmental toxicity, and environmental fate endpoints.

                                     properties or structure of the genetic material. These
                                     changes may involve a single gene or gene segment, a
                                     block of genes, parts of chromosomes, or whole
                                     chromosomes. Mutagenicity differs from genotoxicity in

Hypersensitivity of the airways following inhalation of a
substance.
A cell-mediated or antibody -mediated allergic response
characterized by the presence of inflammation that may
result in cell death, following an initial induction exposure
to the same chemical substance (i.e., skin allergy).
Irritation or corrosion to the eye following the application
of a test substance.
Skin irritation- reversible damage to the skin following the
application of a test substance for up to 4 hours. Skin
corrosion- irreversible damage to the skin namely, visible
necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis
following the application of a test substance for up to 4
hours.
Environmental toxicity refers to adverse effects observed in living organisms that typically
inhabit the wild; the assessment is focused on effects in three groups of surrogate aquatic
organisms (freshwater fish, invertebrates, and algae).
Aquatic Toxicity (Acute)
Aquatic Toxicity (Chronic)
Environmental Persistence
Bioaccumulation
The property of a substance to be injurious to an organism
in a short-term, aquatic exposure to that substance.
The property of a substance to cause adverse effects to
aquatic organisms during aquatic exposures which were
determined in relation to the life-cycle of the organism.
The length of time the chemical exists in the environment,
expressed as a half-life, before it is destroyed (i.e.,
transformed) by natural or chemical processes. For
alternatives assessments, the amount of time for complete
assimilation (ultimate removal) is preferred over the initial
step in the transformation (primary removal).
The process in which a chemical substance is absorbed in
an organism by all routes of exposure as occurs in the
natural environment (e.g., dietary and ambient
environment sources). Bioaccumulation is the net result of
competing processes of chemical uptake into the organism
at the respiratory surface and from the diet and chemical
elimination from the organism, including respiratory
exchange, fecal egestion, and metabolic biotransformation
of the parent compound and growth dilution.

The hazard profile for each chemical contains endpoint specific summary statements (see Section
7). For each of the endpoints listed in Table 5-1, these summary statements provide the hazard
designation, the type of data (experimental or estimated) and the rationale. The endpoint
summaries may also include explanatory comments, a discussion of confounding factors, or an
indication of the confidence in the data to help put the results in perspective.

5.1.2   Criteria

Table 5-2 summarizes the criteria that were used by DfE to interpret the data presented in the
hazard evaluations. The DfE Alternatives Assessment Criteria for Hazard Evaluation underwent
internal and public comment, and were finalized in 2011 (U.S.  EPA 201 Ib). A hazard
designation for each human health endpoint was not given for each route of exposure, but rather
was based on the exposure route with the highest hazard designation. Data may have been
available for some or all relevant routes of exposure.

The details as to how each endpoint was evaluated are described below and in the DfE full
criteria document, DfE Alternatives Assessment Criteria for Hazard Evaluation, available
at: http://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/alternatives-assessment-criteria-hazard-evaluation.

Very High or Very Low designations (if an option for a given endpoint in Table 5-2) were assigned only when there were experimental data
located for the chemical under evaluation. In addition, the experimental data must have been collected from a well conducted study specifically
designed to evaluate the endpoint under review. If the endpoint was estimated using experimental data from a close structural analog, by
professional judgment, or from a computerized model, then the next-level designation was assigned (e.g., use of data from a structural analog
that would yield a designation of very high would result in a designation of high for the chemical in review). One exception is for the estimated
persistence of polymers with an average MW > 1,000 daltons, which may result in a Very High designation.


5.1.3   Endpoints Characterized but Not Evaluated


Several additional endpoints were characterized, but not evaluated against hazard criteria. This is
because the endpoints lacked a clear consensus concerning the evaluation criteria (endocrine

activity), data and expert judgment were limited for industrial chemicals (persistence in air,
terrestrial ecotoxicology),  or the information was valuable for the interpretation of other toxicity

and fate endpoints (including toxicokinetics and transport in the environment).

conditions for a default model "environment" (U.S. EPA 201 le).

5.2  Data Sources and Assessment Methodology

This section explains how data were collected (Section 5.2.1), prioritized and reviewed (Section
5.2.2) for use in the development of hazard profiles. High-quality experimental studies lead to a
thorough understanding of behavior and effects of the chemical in the environment and in living
organisms. Analog approaches and SAR-based estimation methods are also useful tools and are
discussed throughout this section. Information on how polymers differ from discrete chemicals
in terms of how they are evaluated is presented in Section 5.2.3.

5.2.1   Identifying and Reviewing Measured Data

For each chemical assessed, data were collected in a manner consistent with the High Production
Volume (HPV) Chemical Challenge Program Guidance (U.S. EPA 1999) on searching for
existing chemical information. This process resulted in a comprehensive search of the literature
for available experimental data. For chemicals well characterized by experimental studies, this
usually resulted in the collection of recent high-quality reviews or peer-reviewed risk
assessments. These were supplemented  by primary searches of scientific literature published
after these secondary sources were released; this is explained in greater detail below. For
chemicals that are not as well  characterized, that is, where these secondary sources were not
available or lacked relevant or adequate data, a comprehensive search of the primary scientific
literature was done. Subsequently, these searches led to the collection and review of articles from
the scientific literature, industrial submissions, encyclopedic sources, and government reports. In
addition, data presented in EPA public databases (e.g., Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS); the High Production Volume Information System (HPVIS)) and confidential databases
were obtained for this project. Generally, foreign language (non-English) reports were not used
unless  they provided information that was not available from other sources.

Chemical assessments were performed by first searching for experimental data for all endpoints
in Table 5-2. For most alternatives assessed, high quality secondary sources were not available;
                                           5-8

-------
therefore a comprehensive search of the literature was performed to identify experimental data.
In some cases, confidential studies submitted to EPA by chemical manufacturers were also
available to support hazard designations. For those chemicals that were expected to form stable
metabolites, searches were performed to identify relevant fate and toxicity information for the
metabolite or degradation product.

Well Studied Chemicals - Literature Search Strategy

As mentioned above, for chemicals that have been well characterized, the literature review
focused primarily on the use of secondary sources, such as Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) Toxicological Profiles or IRIS assessments. Using high-quality
secondary sources maximized available resources and eliminated potential duplication of effort.
However, more than one secondary source was typically used to verify reported values, which
also reduced the potential for presenting a value that was transcribed incorrectly from the
scientific literature. Although other sources might also contain the same experimental value for
an endpoint, effort was not focused on building a comprehensive list of these references, as it
would not have enhanced the ability to  reach a conclusion in the assessment. When data for a
selected endpoint could not be located in a secondary source for an otherwise well studied
chemical, the primary literature was searched by endpoint and experimental studies were
assessed for relevant information.

Making Predictions in the Absence of Measured Data

In the absence of primary or secondary data, hazard designations were based on (1) Quantitative
Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR)-based estimations from the EPA New Chemical
Program's predictive methods; (2) analog data; (3) class-based assignments from the EPA
Chemical Categories document, and (4) expert judgment by EPA subject matter experts.

For chemicals that lacked experimental information, QSAR assessments were made using either
EPA's Estimation Programs Interface (EPISuite™) for physical-chemical property and
environmental fate  endpoints or EPA's Ecological Structure Activity Relationships
(ECOSAR™) QSARs for ecotoxicity. For the cancer endpoint, estimates were also obtained
from EPA's OncoLogic expert system.  These estimation methods have been automated, and are
available for free (U.S. EPA 2012c). Often analog data were used to support predictions from
models. These approaches were described in the EPA Pollution Prevention (P2) Framework and
Sustainable Futures (SF) program (U.S. EPA 2005b; U.S. EPA 201 le).

For some physical-chemical properties  that could not be estimated using EPISuite™,  such as
acid/base dissociation constants, other available methods (e.g., the ACE acidity and basicity
calculator website for dissociation constants) were used (ACE Organic 2013). All estimation
methods employed were limited to those freely available in the public domain.

The methodology and procedures used  to assess polymers are described in Section 5.2.3. In
addition, the endpoints for impurities or oligomers with a MW > 1,000 daltons were estimated
using professional judgment and the results assessed for inclusion in the overall hazard
                                          5-9

-------
designation. This process is described, as appropriate, under the corresponding endpoints
appearing in Section 5.3.

When QSAR models were not available, professional judgment was used to identify hazards for
similar chemicals using the guidance from EPA's New Chemicals Categories (U.S. EPA 2010b).
The categories identify substances that share chemical and toxicological properties and possess
potential health or environmental concerns (U.S. EPA 2010a). In the absence of an identified
category, analogs for which experimental data are available were identified using EPA's Analog
Identification Methodology (AIM) or by substructure searches of confidential EPA databases
(U.S. EPA 2012a). If a hazard designation was still not available,  the expert judgment of
scientists from EPA's New Chemical Program would provide an assessment of the physical-
chemical properties, environmental fate, aquatic toxicity and human health endpoints to fill
remaining data gaps.

Expandable graphite was a unique substance compared to the other alternatives in this report.
Although expandable graphite has some structural features in common with carbon-based
nanoparticles, its cross-section diameter is far greater, and it would be less likely to pass through
biological membranes. As a result, it was not considered a nano-sized substance and available
nanoparticle data were not used as analog data in the evaluation. At the time of this report, DfE is
not using the hazard criteria to assess nanoparticles.

5.2.2   Hierarchy of Data Adequacy

Once the studies were  obtained, they were evaluated to establish whether the hazard data were of
sufficient quality to meet the requirements of the assessment process. The adequacy and quality
of the studies identified in the literature review are described in the Data Quality field of the
chemical assessments presented in Section 7. The tiered approach described below represents a
general preferred data hierarchy, but the evaluation of toxicological data also requires flexibility
based on expert judgment.

       1.  One or more studies conducted in a manner consistent with established testing
          guidelines
       2.  Experimentally valid but nonguideline studies (i.e., do not follow established testing
          guidelines)
       3.  Reported data without supporting experimental details
       4.  Estimated data using SAR methods or professional judgment based on an analog
          approach
       5.  Expert judgment based on mechanistic and structural considerations

In general, data were considered adequate to characterize an endpoint if they were obtained using
the techniques identified in the HPV data adequacy guidelines (U.S. EPA 1999). Studies
performed according to Harmonized EPA or Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development guidelines were reviewed to confirm that the studies followed all required steps.

Experimental studies published in the open literature were reviewed for their scientific rigor and
were also compared and contrasted to guideline studies to identify potential problems arising
from differences in the experimental design.  Data from adequate,  well-performed, experimental
                                          5-10

-------
studies were used to assign hazard designations in preference to those lacking in sufficient
experimental detail. When multiple adequate studies were available for a given endpoint, any
discrepancies that were identified within the set of data were examined further and addressed
using a weight-of-evidence approach that was described in the data entry to characterize the
endpoint whenever possible.

When available, experimental data from guideline or well-performed experimental studies were
preferred (Items 1 and 2 in the hierarchy list). Information from secondary sources such as
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), or online databases (such as the National Library of
Medicine's Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), Item 3 in the hierarchy list) was
considered appropriate for some endpoints when it included numerical values for effect levels
that could be compared to the evaluation criteria.

5.2.3   Assessment of Polymers and Oligomers

The methodology and procedures used to assess polymers were slightly different than those used
for oligomers, discrete compounds and simple mixtures. Although experimental data for
polymers were identified using the literature search techniques discussed above in Section 5.2.1,
in the absence of experimental data, estimates were performed using professional judgment as
presented in the literature (Boethling and Nabholz 1997). The polymers are a mixture of
molecules with a distribution of components (e.g., different chain lengths) that depend on the
monomers used, their molar ratios, the total number of monomeric units in the polymer chain,
and the manufacturing conditions.  To account for this variation, the average MW profile (also
referred to as the number average molecular weight (MWn)) was used in their assessment, as the
individual chains rarely have the same degree of polymerization and weight, yet their physical,
chemical, and  environmental properties are essentially identical for the purposes of this
assessment. The polymers evaluated as alternatives typically have average MWs ranging from
>1,000 to <100,000 daltons.

For polymers with relatively low average MWs (i.e., those with average MWs generally less than
2,000), the alternatives assessment also determined the amount of oligomers and unchanged
monomers (starting materials) in the MW profile with MWs < 1,000 daltons. Special attention
was paid to materials that have a MW <1,000 daltons, as these materials often have the highest
hazard (potentially bioavailable substances) in the mixture. This type of assessment was similar
to the evaluation of the hazards of impurities present in discrete chemical products.
Methodological differences between the evaluation of discrete products and polymers are
discussed in Section 5.3. Although the MW of expandable graphite is >1,000, it was not
explicitly evaluated as a polymer. However, the chemical property and hazard designation
cutoffs associated with polymers and other high MW materials were used in its evaluation.

For this alternatives assessment, there were chemicals that are mixtures of low MW oligomers
comprised of 2 or 3 repeating units. The hazard assessment evaluated all  oligomers present.
From all the oligomers, the higher concern material was used to assign the hazard designation.
This process is essentially identical to the evaluation of the hazards associated with impurities or
byproducts present in discrete chemical products. As a result, the  alternatives assessment process
determined the amount of oligomers and unchanged monomers (starting materials) present, and
considered their potential  hazards in the alternatives designation.
                                          5-11

-------
5.3  Importance of Physical and Chemical Properties, Environmental Transport, and
     Biodegradation

Physical-chemical properties provide basic information on the characteristics of a chemical
substance, and were used throughout the alternatives assessment process. These endpoints
provide information required to assess potential environmental release, exposure, and
partitioning, as well as insight into the potential for adverse toxicological effects. The physical-
chemical properties are provided in the individual chemical hazard profiles presented in Section
7. Descriptions of relevant physical-chemical properties and how they contribute to the hazard
assessments are presented below.

Molecular Weight (MW)

MW informs how a chemical behaves in a physical or biological system, including
bioavailability and environmental fate. In general, but not strictly, larger compounds tend to be
less mobile in biological and environmental systems.  Their large size restricts their transport
through biological membranes and lowers their vapor pressure. Polymers and oligomers
evaluated in this alternatives assessment were mixtures that contain a distribution of components,
and they  may not  have a unique MW (see also Section 5.2.3). To account for variation in these
mixtures, the average MW or MWn, determined experimentally (typically using high pressure
liquid chromatography, viscosity, or light-scattering), was used in the assessment of polymers.
The assessment of polymers also includes  oligomers and unchanged monomers (starting
materials) that have MW of <1,000 daltons, as these were often the highest concern materials
(bioavailable substances) in the mixture.

Melting Point and Boiling Point

These two properties provide an indication of the physical state of the material at ambient
temperature. Chemicals with a melting point more than 25°C were assessed as a solid. Those
with a melting point less than 25°C and a boiling point more than 25°C were assessed as a liquid,
and those with a boiling point less than 25°C were assessed as a gas. The physical state was used
throughout the assessment, such as in the determination of potential routes of human and
environmental exposure. The melting and boiling  points were also useful in determining the
potential  environmental fate, ecotoxicity, and human health hazards of a chemical. For example,
organic compounds with high melting points generally have low water solubility and low rates of
dissolution. These properties influence a material's bioavailability, and were therefore taken into
account in both the assessment process and the evaluation of experimental studies. Similarly,
chemicals with a low melting point also have a higher potential to be absorbed through the skin,
gastrointestinal tract, and lungs.

In the absence of experimental data, the melting point value was not reported, and no estimations
were performed. If a chemical decomposes before it melts, this information was included in the
assessment. For boiling point, the maximum value reported in the assessment was 300°C for
high boiling materials, including polymers (U.S. EPA 1999). Melting points for polymers and/or
oligomers were not reported, as these materials typically reach a softening point and do not
undergo the phase change associated with melting (i.e., solid to liquid).
                                          5-12

-------
Vapor Pressure

Vapor pressure is useful in determining the potential for a chemical substance to volatilize to the
atmosphere from dry surfaces, from storage containers, or during mixing, transfer, or
loading/unloading operations. In the assessment process, chemicals with a vapor pressure less
than 1 x 10"6 mm Hg have a low potential for inhalation exposure resulting from gases or vapors.
Vapor pressure is also useful for determining the potential environmental fate of a substance.
Substances with a vapor pressure more than 1 x 10"4 mm Hg generally exist in the gas phase in
the atmosphere. Substances with a vapor pressure between 1 x 10"4 and 1 x 10"8 mm Hg exist as a
gas/particulate mixture. Substances with a vapor pressure less than 1 x 10"8 mm Hg exist as a
particulate. The potential atmospheric degradation processes described below in the reactivity
section generally occur when a chemical exists in the gas phase. Gases in the atmosphere also
have the potential to travel long distances from their original point  of release. Materials  in the
liquid or solid (particulate) phases in the atmosphere generally undergo deposition onto  the
Earth's surface.

A maximum vapor pressure of 1 x 10"8 mm Hg was assigned for chemicals without experimental
data, or for those substances that were anticipated by professional judgment to be nonvolatile
(U.S. EPA 1999). The maximum vapor pressure of 1 x 10"8 mm Hg was also the default value
reported for the vapor pressure of polymers and other high MW materials with a MW >1,000
daltons (U.S. EPA 1999).

Water Solubility

The water solubility of a chemical provides an indication of its distribution between
environmental media, potential for environmental exposure through release to aquatic
compartments, and potential for human exposure through ingestion of drinking water. Water
solubility was also used extensively to determine potential human health and ecotoxicity hazards.
In general, chemicals with water solubility less than 1 x 10"5 g/L indicate a lower concern for
both the expression of adverse effects and potential aquatic and general population exposure, due
to their low bioavailability. However, chemicals with a low bioavailability also tend to be more
environmentally persistent. Low bioavailability is different than no bioavailability, and the two
should not be used interchangeably.

Within the context of this alternatives assessment, the following descriptors were used according
to ranges of water solubility values: more than  10,000 mg/L was considered very soluble; 1,000-
10,000 mg/L represents soluble; 100-1,000 mg/L represents moderately soluble,  1-100  mg/L
represents slightly soluble, and less than 1 mg/L was considered to be insoluble, noting that these
guidelines might not match what is used elsewhere within the scientific literature for other
disciplines. Chemicals with higher water solubility are more likely  to be transported into
groundwater with runoff during storm events, be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract or
lungs, partition to aquatic compartments, undergo atmospheric removal by rain washout, and
possess a greater potential for human exposure through the ingestion of contaminated drinking
water. Chemicals with lower water solubility are generally more persistent, and have a greater
potential to bioconcentrate.
                                           5-13

-------
The water solubility of a substance was also used to evaluate the quality of experimental aquatic
toxicity and oral exposure human health studies, as well as the reliability of aquatic toxicity
estimates. If the water solubility of a substance was lower than the reported exposure level in
these experiments, then the study was likely to be regarded as inadequate, due to potentially
confounding factors arising from the presence of un-dissolved material. For aquatic toxicity
estimates obtained using SARs, when the estimated toxicity was higher than a chemical's water
solubility (i.e., the estimated concentration in water at which adverse effects appear cannot be
reached because it was above the material's water solubility), the chemical was described as
having NES. An NES designation is equivalent to a low aquatic toxicity hazard designation for
that endpoint.

While assessing the water solubility of a chemical substance, its potential to disperse in an
aqueous solution was also considered.  Ideally, a chemical's potential to disperse would be
obtained from the scientific literature. In the absence of experimental data, the potential for
dispersion can be determined from chemical structure and/or comparison to closely related
analogs. There are two general structural characteristics that lead to the formation of dispersions
in water: (1) chemicals that have both a hydrophilic (polar) head and a hydrophobic  (nonpolar)
tail (e.g., surfactants), and (2) molecules that have a large number of repeating polar functional
groups (e.g., polyethylene oxide).

The potential for a chemical to disperse influences potential exposure, environmental fate, and
toxicity. Dispersible chemicals have greater potential for human and environmental exposure,
teachability, and aquatic toxicity than what might be anticipated based on the material's water
solubility alone.

Chemicals without experimental  data, or chemicals that were anticipated by professional
judgment to be sufficiently insoluble and thus were not bioavailable, were assigned a water
solubility maximum value of 1 x 10"3 mg/L (U.S. EPA 1999). A water solubility of 1 x 10"3 mg/L
is the default value used for discrete organics, as well  as non-ionic polymers with a MW > 1,000
daltons, according to information contained in the literature concerning polymer assessment
(Boethling and Nabholz 1997). This assignment is consistent with an analysis of the chemicals
used in the development of the water solubility estimation program in EPA's EPISuite™
software. The training set for this model included 1,450 chemicals with a MW range 27-628
daltons  and  experimental water solubility values ranging from miscible to 4 x 10"7 mg/L
(Meylan, Howard et al. 1996; U.S. EPA 201 li). Given that water solubility decreases with MW,
a default value of 1 x 10"3 mg/L is consistent with the  limited bioavailability expected for
materials with a MW >1,000 daltons.

Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (Kow)

The octanol/water partition coefficient, commonly expressed as its log value (i.e., log Kow) is
one of the most useful properties for performing a hazard assessment. The log Kow indicates the
partitioning  of a chemical between octanol and water, where octanol is used to mimic fat and
other hydrophobic components of biological systems.  Chemicals with a log Kow less than 1 are
highly soluble in water (hydrophilic), while those with a log Kow more than 4 are not very
soluble  in water (hydrophobic). A log Kow more than 8 indicates that the chemical is not readily
                                           5-14

-------
bioavailable and is essentially insoluble in water. In addition, a log Kow greater than
approximately 8 may be difficult to obtain experimentally.

The log Kow can be used as a surrogate for the water solubility in a hazard assessment, and is
frequently used to estimate the water solubility if an experimental value is not available. It can
also be used to estimate other properties important to the assessment, including bioconcentration
and soil adsorption, and is a required input for SAR models used to estimate ecotoxicity values.

For chemicals without data, that are not within the domain of EPISuite™ or that were expected
to be insoluble in water (WS <1  x 10"3 mg/L), a minimum value of 10 was assigned for the log
Kow (U.S. EPA 1999). Insoluble chemicals that could be run through EPISuite™ software may
use a log Kow >10 if the result appeared to be valid based on expert review. This assignment is
consistent with an analysis of the chemicals ("training set") used in the development of the
octanol/water partition coefficient estimation program in the EPISuite™ software. The training
set for this model included 10,946 chemicals with a MW range 18-720 daltons and experimental
log Kow values ranging from -3.89 to 8.70 (Meylan and Howard 1995; U.S. EPA 201 Ih). Given
that log Kow increases with MW, a default value of 10 is consistent with the limited
bioavailability expected for materials with a MW > 1,000 daltons. A maximum log Kow of-2 was
used for water soluble materials. For most polymers and other materials that are anticipated to be
insoluble in both water and octanol, the log Kow cannot be measured and was therefore not listed.

Flammability (Flash Point)

The flash point of a substance is defined as the minimum temperature at which the substance
emits  sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. Flash point can be used to identify
hazards associated with the handling of volatile chemicals. Substances with a flash point above
37.8°C (100°F) were commonly referred to as non-flammable, as this is the flammability
definition used in the shipping industry. There are exceptions to this definition, such as
chemicals that may form explosive mixtures in the presence of air.

Explosivity

Explosivity refers to the potential for a chemical to form explosive mixtures in air, and can be
defined using the limits of flammability. The lower limit of flammability (LFL) is  defined as the
minimum concentration of a combustible substance that is capable of propagating a flame
through a homogenous mixture in the presence of an ignition source. The upper limit of
flammability (UFL) is similarly defined as the highest concentration that can propagate a flame.
LFLs  and UFLs are commonly reported as the volume percent or volume fraction of the
flammable component in air at 25°C. If the ambient air concentration of the gas (or vapor) is
between the upper and lower explosion limit, then the material has the potential to explode if it
comes in contact with an ignition source.  Knowledge regarding the explosivity of a given
material in air is also useful in identifying potential hazards associated with the manufacture and
use of that material.
                                          5-15

-------
pH

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is on a range from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is
neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. This scale is used primarily
to identify potential hazards associated with skin or eye contact with a chemical or its aqueous
solutions. The corrosive nature of chemicals that form either strongly basic (high pH) or strongly
acidic (low pH) solutions are generally likely to result in harm to skin and other biological
membranes. For corrosive chemicals, some experimental studies, such as biodegradation tests,
require additional analysis to determine if the tests were performed at concentrations that cause
harm to microbes in the test (and, therefore, may result in incorrectly identifying a chemical as
persistent in the environment). For chemicals that form moderately basic or acidic solutions in
water, the pH of the resulting solution can be used in lieu of a measured dissociation constant.

Dissociation Constant in Water (pKa)

The dissociation constant determines if a chemical will ionize under environmental conditions.
The dissociation constant in water provides the amount of the dissociated and undissociated
forms of an acid, base, or organic salt in water. Knowledge of the dissociation constant is
required to assess the importance of the other physical-chemical properties used in the hazard
assessment. As the percentage of ionization increases, the water solubility increases while the
vapor pressure, Henry's Law constant, and  octanol/water partition coefficient decrease. For  acids
and bases, the dissociation constant is expressed as the pKA and pKB, respectively.

Henry's Law Constant

Henry's Law constant is the ratio of a chemical's concentration in the gas phase to that in the
liquid phase (at equilibrium). In environmental assessments, the Henry's Law constant is
typically measured in water at 25°C. The Henry's Law constant provides an indication of a
chemical's volatility from water, which can be used to derive partitioning within environmental
compartments and the amount of material removed by stripping in a sewage treatment plant.
Henry's Law constant values less than 1 x 10"7 atm-m3/mole indicate slow volatilization from
water to air (the Henry's Law constant for the volatilization of water from water is 1 x 10"7 atm-
m3/mole) and values more than 1 x  10"3 atm-m3/mole indicate rapid volatilization from water to
air. To aid in determining the importance of volatilization, the assessment uses two models based
on the Henry's Law constant. These models determine the half-life for volatilization from a
model river and a model lake. A maximum value of 1 x 10"8 atm-m3/mole for the Henry's Law
constant was assigned for chemicals without experimental data or for those that were anticipated
by professional judgment to be nonvolatile.

Sediment/Soil Adsorption/Desorption Coefficient (Koc)

The soil adsorption coefficient provides a measure of a chemical's ability to adsorb to  the
organic portion of soil and sediment. This provides an indication of the potential for the chemical
to leach through soil and be introduced into groundwater, which may lead to environmental
exposures to wildlife or humans through the ingestion of drinking water drawn from
underground sources. Chemicals with high  soil adsorption coefficients are expected to be
                                          5-16

-------
strongly adsorbed to soil and are unlikely to leach into ground water. The soil adsorption
coefficient also describes the potential for a chemical to partition from environmental waters to
suspended solids and sediment. The higher the KOC; the more strongly a chemical is adsorbed to
soil. Strong adsorption may impact other fate processes, such as the rate of biodegradation, by
making the chemical less bioavailable.

The soil adsorption coefficient, Koc, is normalized with respect to the organic carbon content of
the soil to account for geographic differences. The assignments for the degree that a chemical is
adsorbed to soil within the context of the assessment were described qualitatively as very strong
(above 30,000), strong (above 3,000), moderate (above 300), low (above 30), and negligible
(above 3). When determining the potential for a chemical to adsorb to soil and suspended organic
matter, the potential for a chemical to form chemical bonds with humic acids and attach to soil
also needs to be considered, although this  process is generally limited to a small number of
chemical classes.

A maximum value of 30,000 for the Koc was  assigned for chemicals without experimental data
or for those that were anticipated by professional judgment to be strongly absorbed to soil (U.S.
EPA 2005b). A default Koc of 30,000 was used for polymers and other high MW materials with
aMW>l,OOOdaltons.

Reactivity

The potential for a substance to undergo irreversible chemical reactions in the environment can
be used in the assessment of persistence. The primary chemical reactions considered in an
environmental fate assessment are:  hydrolysis, photolysis, and the gas phase reaction with
hydroxyl radicals, ozone, or nitrate radicals. The most important reaction considered in the
hazard assessment of organic compounds is hydrolysis, or the reaction of a chemical substance
with water. Because the rate of hydrolysis reactions can change  substantially as a function of pH,
studies performed in the pH range typically found in the environment (pH 5-9) were considered.
The second reaction considered in the assessment is photolysis, the reaction of a chemical with
sunlight.  Both hydrolysis and photolysis occur in air, water, and soil, while only hydrolysis was
considered in sediment. The half-lives for reactive processes, if faster than removal via
biodegradation, were used to assign the hazard designation by direct comparison to the DfE
persistence criteria.

For the atmospheric compartment, persistence also includes the  evaluation of oxidative gas-
phase processes. These processes include the  reaction with ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and nitrate
radicals.  Since the average concentration of these oxidative species in the atmosphere has been
measured, the experimental or estimated rate  constants were converted to, and reported as, a
half-life in the assessment using standard pseudo first-order kinetics (U.S. EPA 201 If; U.S. EPA
20 lid).

For inorganic compounds,  an additional chemical process was considered, the potential to be
reduced or oxidized (undergo a redox reaction) under environmental conditions. Redox reactions
change the oxidation state of the species through the transfer of electrons to form another
compound (such as the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III)). A change in the oxidation state of a metal
                                          5-17

-------
or inorganic species can result in significant changes in the material's hazard designation. In this
example, going from Cr(VI) to Cr(III) makes the compound less toxic.

Environmental Transport

The persistence of a chemical substance is based on determining the importance of removal
processes that may occur once a chemical enters the environment. Chemicals with a half-life of
less than 60 days are expected to be at most a Moderate hazard designation for persistence.
Persistence does not directly address the pathways in which a chemical substance might enter the
environment (e.g., volatilization or disposal in a landfill) and focuses instead on the removal
processes that are expected to occur once it is released into air, water, soil, or sediment.
Similarly, the persistence assessment does not  address what might happen to a chemical
substance throughout its life cycle, such as disposal during incineration of consumer or
commercial products. Understanding the environmental transport of a chemical substance can
help identify processes relevant to environmental assessment. For example, if a chemical is toxic
to benthic organisms and partitions primarily to sediment, its potential release to water should be
carefully considered in the selection  of alternatives.

Biodegradation

In the absence of rapid hydrolysis  or other chemical reactions, biodegradation is typically the
primary environmental degradation process for organic compounds. Determining the importance
of biodegradation is,  therefore, an  important component of the assessment. Biodegradation
processes are divided into two types. The first  is primary biodegradation, in which a chemical
substance is converted to another substance. The second is ultimate biodegradation, in which a
chemical is completely mineralized to small building-block components (e.g., CC>2 and water).
DfE persistence criteria use data that are reported as percent of theoretical ultimate degradation
in the guideline Ready Biodegradability test or as a half-life in other experimental studies; both
of these measurements can be compared directly to the DfE criteria in 5.1.2. When considering
primary degradation, the assessment process includes an evaluation of the potential for the
formation of metabolites that were more persistent than the parent materials. Chemical
substances that undergo rapid primary degradation but only slow ultimate biodegradation were
considered to have stable metabolites. In the absence of measured data on the substance of
interest, DfE evaluated the potential  for biodegradation for chemicals with a MW <1,000 daltons
using the EPA EPISuite™ models. EPISuite™ estimates the probability for ready biodegradation
as well as the potential for primary and ultimate removal, as described in Section 5.3. A default
Very High persistence hazard designation was assigned for polymers and other high MW
materials with a MW >1,000 daltons, according to information contained in the literature
concerning polymer assessment (Boethling and Nabholz 1997).

5.4   Evaluating Human Health Endpoints

After data collection  and analysis of the physical-chemical properties for the chemicals being
assessed, the comparison of the data  against the hazard criteria can begin. Section 5.4.1 discusses
how measured data are used to make hazard designations for human health endpoints and
Section 5.4.2 presents the approach for filling in data gaps to make these hazard designations.
                                          5-18

-------
5.4.1   Endpoints Characterized and Evaluated Against Criteria Based on Measured Data

This section provides a short description of how measured data were used to designate the level
of hazard for each endpoint. As a reminder, the criteria for the hazard designations are in Table
5-2.

For acute mammalian toxicity the median lethal doses or concentrations were used to assign the
hazard designation. Four levels of hazard designation have been defined ranging from Low to
Very High.

For cancer, the hazard designation was contingent on the level of evidence for increased
incidence of cancer, and not potency. The definitions applied in DfE criteria are based on
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) levels of evidence (International Agency
for Research on Cancer 2006). For example,  a designation of Very High concern requires that
the substance be characterized as a "known or presumed human carcinogen," whereas a
designation of Low concern requires either negative studies or robust SAR conclusions. A
designation of Moderate was applied as a default value when there was an absence of data
suggesting High carcinogenicity, and an absence of data supporting Low carcinogenicity (i.e., a
lack of negative studies or weak SAR conclusions).

Similarly, the hazard designation for mutagenicity/genotoxicity was also based on the level of
evidence rather than potency. Complete data requirements for this endpoint were both gene
mutation and chromosomal aberration assays. For instances of incomplete or inadequate
mutagenicity/genotoxicity data, a Low hazard designation cannot be given.

For chronic endpoints, such as reproductive,  developmental, neurological, and repeated dose
toxicity, the hazard designation was based  on potency. The evaluation considers both lowest
observed adverse effect levels (LOAELs) and identification of no observed adverse effect levels
(NOAELs), when available. The LOAEL and the NOAEL are experimental dose levels, and their
reliability is dictated by the study design. In studies for which the lowest dose tested resulted in
an adverse effect (and therefore a NOAEL was not established), and in studies for which the
highest dose tested was a NOAEL, a conservative approach using professional judgment was
used to address uncertainty regarding the lowest dose or exposure level that might be expected to
cause a particular adverse effect. For example, in the absence of an established a NOAEL, an
identified LOAEL might fall within the range of a Moderate hazard; however, it is uncertain if a
lower dose, such as one that falls within the range of High hazard exists because no lower doses
were tested. In such cases, professional judgment was applied to assign a hazard designation,
when possible. Some degree of uncertainty was evident in results from studies in which a
NOAEL may fall within one hazard range  (e.g., Moderate hazard) and the identified LOAEL
falls within a different hazard range (e.g., Low hazard) because the true LOAEL may fall in
either category, but there were not enough  experimental data points to determine the true
LOAEL. Professional judgment was also applied to these cases to assign a hazard descriptor,
when possible, and the rationale used was described in the assessment. Developmental
neurotoxicity was considered,  and was evaluated using the developmental toxicity criteria, which
are more stringent than the criteria for neurotoxicity and thus designed to be more protective
(U.S. EPA 201 Ib).
                                          5-19

-------
The criteria for skin and respiratory sensitization, which are immune-based responses, consider
the frequency and potency of the reactions. For skin sensitization, categories were based on the
weight of evidence6 from traditional animal bioassays, but in vitro alternative studies were also
considered. At this time, there are no standard test methods for respiratory sensitization; as a
result, there was often no designation for this endpoint.

The evaluation of skin and eye irritation and corrosivity were based on the time to recovery.

5.4.2   SAR - Application of SAR and Expert Judgment to Endpoint Criteria

If measured data pertaining to human health criteria were not available, potential adverse effects
were estimated with SAR analysis. To make these estimates, DfE relied on the expertise of
scientists in EPA's New Chemicals Program (NCP) who have reviewed thousands of chemicals
and associated data using these methods. SAR uses the molecular structure of a chemical to infer
a physicochemical property that can be related to specific effects on human health. These
correlations may be qualitative ("simple SAR") or quantitative (QSAR). Information on EPA's
use of SAR analysis has been published by U.S. EPA (1994). Public access to free validated
quantitative SAR models for human health endpoints is far more limited than physical-chemical
properties,  environmental fate parameters, or ecotoxicology.  Carcinogenicity was assessed using
the OncoLogic expert system that provides a qualitative result directly applicable to the DfE
criteria. For other endpoints that required SAR approaches, an analog approach using expert
judgment was used as discussed in Section 5.2.  All estimates obtained in this project were
reviewed by EPA scientists having subject matter expertise. Estimates for the other human health
endpoints were based on expert judgment using an analog approach, and not through the use of
computerized SAR methodologies.

Carcinogenicity

The potential for a chemical to cause cancer in humans was estimated using the OncoLogic
expert system. This program uses a decision tree based on the known Carcinogenicity of
chemicals with similar chemical structures, information on mechanisms of action, short-term
predictive tests, epidemiological studies, and  expert judgment.

Polymer Assessment

Estimates for polymers were obtained using information contained in the literature concerning
polymer assessment based on the MW profile (Boethling and Nabholz 1997). Those polymers
with MW > 1,000 were assessed using an appropriate representative structure that has a MW less
than or equal to the average MW. For polymers with an average MW > 1,000 daltons and a
significant  amount of low MW material < 1,000 daltons, the low MW components were also
assessed for their environmental fate and potential toxicity in order to identify any possible
hazards for the most bioavailable fraction. Similarly, the presence of unreacted monomers
requires that the assessment consider these components for polymers of any MW range. The
6 Generally, weight of evidence is defined as the process for characterizing the extent to which the available data
support a hypothesis that an agent causes a particular effect (U.S. EPA 1999; U.S. EPA 2002; U.S. EPA 2005b).
                                          5-20

-------
properties for polymers with an average MW >1,000 with no low MW components were
generally evaluated as a single high MW material for each of the properties described below. In
general, polymers with an average MW > 1,000 were not amenable to the available SAR
estimation methods, and based on the SF guidance are assumed to have low to no bioavailability.
Polymers with MW >1,000 that were not degradable or reactive are also typically not
bioavailable. Polymers with an average MW >10,000 have potential for adverse effects due to
lung overloading when respirable particles are present (less than ten microns). There may be
exceptions to the rules of thumb outlined above, and as such this guidance  should not be held as
absolute thresholds.

Polymers and oligomers with MWs < 1,000 were assessed using a representative structure for all
the MW species anticipated to be present in the mixture. The procedures were essentially
identical to those employed for the evaluation of impurities or byproducts in discrete chemicals,
although in this case the oligomer with the highest concern was used to drive the hazard
designation. Unreacted monomers, if present, were also assessed and considered in the hazard
evaluation.

5.5  Evaluating Environmental Toxicity and Fate Endpoints

As with endpoints previously mentioned, the preferred method for the evaluation of
environmental endpoints is the use of experimental data. In their absence, the alternatives
assessment uses computerized QSAR models developed by EPA for the evaluation of
environmental endpoints that can be directly compared to the DfE criteria.  When measured data
were unavailable, the hazard designation for aquatic toxicity was estimated using EPA's
ECOSAR™ software, and the persistence designation was estimated using models in EPA's
EPISuite™ software. As a direct result of the design of these models and their direct application
to DfE criteria, the evaluation of environmental endpoints using experimental or estimated data
was discussed together in the following subsections.

5.5.1   Aquatic Toxicity

For environmental toxicity, the alternatives assessment focused on the hazard designations for
acute and chronic studies on freshwater species of algae, invertebrates, and fish, (often referred
to as the "three surrogate species").  Aquatic toxicity values were reported in the assessment as
follows:

   •   Acute (estimated or experimental) - LCso in mg/L
   •   Chronic (experimental) - No observed effect concentration (NOEC) in mg/L
   •   Chronic (estimated) - ChV, or the geometric mean between the NOEC and the LOEC, in
       mg/L

Experimental data reported in the alternatives assessment also included information on the
species tested. Test data on other organisms (e.g., worms) were included in the assessment if data
were readily available. These data would be evaluated using professional judgment to support
hazard designations assigned using the three surrogate species; however, they were not used by
themselves to assign a hazard designation, as DfE criteria  are not available. Poorly soluble
                                          5-21

-------
substances for which the water column exposures may not be adequate to describe sediment and
particulate exposures will be identified by a footnote.

If an experimental or estimated effect level exceeded the known water solubility of a chemical
substance, or if the log Kow exceeded the estimated ECOSAR™ cut-off values for acute and
chronic endpoints (which are class specific), NES were predicted for the aquatic toxicity
endpoints. NES indicates that at the highest concentration achievable, the limit of a chemical's
water solubility, no adverse effects were observed (or would be expected). In these cases, a Low
hazard designation was assigned. In the cases where both an estimated water solubility and
ECOSAR™ estimate were used, then an additional factor often was applied to the water
solubility before a NES designation was assigned, to account for the combined uncertainty in the
model estimates.

In the case where an experimental aquatic toxicity value was significantly higher than the
chemical's water solubility, it was likely the result of a poorly conducted study. In this
circumstance, which is generally more frequent for formulated products or mixtures, additional
details were provided in the Data Quality section to describe why the reported values could not
be used to assign a hazard designation.

EPA's ECOSAR™ estimation program uses chemical structure to estimate toxicity of a chemical
substance using class-specific QSARs. ECOSAR™ automatically determines all  of the classes
that a chemical substance may belong to and, therefore, may provide a number of different
ecotoxicity estimates for some or all of the species and durations estimated. Modeled results are
dependent on the functional groups present on the molecule, as well as the diversity of chemicals
with experimental data that were used to build the models. However, if the chemical substance is
not anticipated to lie within the domain of the class-specific estimates provided by ECOSAR, or
to undergo the same mode of action of the chemicals that appear in their training  sets, then the
narcosis (baseline toxicity) associated with the neutral organic class will be used. Experimental
log Kow values were used preferentially as input into ECOSAR™. In their absence, estimated log
Kow values from EPISuite™ were used. ECOSAR™ is maintained and developed as a stand-
alone program, but is also accessible through the EPA EPISuite™ program after it is installed;
therefore, the Estimations Program Interface (EPI) program was cited for the ECOSAR™  values
in this report.

The QSARs for ECOSAR™ were built using experimental data for several chemical classes. For
a chemical class to be defined within ECOSAR™, sufficient acute experimental data were
required to build a QSAR for all three species included in the model. The equations in ECOSAR
are derived from surrogate species offish, zooplankton, and phytoplankton. While these
surrogate species can comprise several genera as well as families, the equations are not intended
to be species-specific, but rather estimates of toxicity to the general trophic levels they represent
(fish,  aquatic invertebrates, and aquatic plants). There were instances, however, where sufficient
experimental data were not available to build a chronic QSAR for some of the three surrogate
species. When ECOSAR™ did not provide chronic estimates, the acute value (experimental or
estimated) was divided by an acute to chronic ratio (ACR) to arrive at the ChV. ACRs of 10
were used for fish and daphnid, and an ACR of 4 was used for algae (Mayo-Bean, Nabholz et al.
2011).
                                         5-22

-------
For phosphate esters and phosphonate esters in this report, alternative predictive methodologies
such as data derived acute-to-chronic ratios (ACRs) and read across to analogous substances
were reported to address data gaps, using a weight of evidence approach instead of ECOSAR
predictions. Many of the chemicals and chemical mixture components in this assessment are
phosphate or phosphonate esters, including Diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethyl-
phosphonate, Emerald Innovation™NH-l, Fyrol™ HF-5, Isopropylated triphenyl phosphate,
Oligomeric ethyl ethylene phosphate, Oligomeric phosphonate polyol, Phosphoric acid, P,P'-
[2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-l,3-propanediyl] P,P,P',P'-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl) ester, Tricresyl
phosphate, Triphenyl phosphate, Tris (l,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate, Tris (2-chloro-l-
methylethyl) phosphate, Tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate, and Tris (p-t-butylphenyl) phosphate.
ECOSAR vl.l 1 provides estimates for these compounds based on the esters, esters (phosphate),
and neutral organic classes. These compounds are not well represented by ECOSAR vl. 11 esters
(phosphate) QSAR, which is based on underlying Log Kow methodology that does not
adequately distinguish weak-to-strong esterase inhibition, resulting in low correlation of the class
members. Additionally, certain modes of action have been previously associated with phosphate
ester chemicals (i.e., potential for esterase inhibition and alkylation); therefore, the ECOSAR
vl.ll esters and neutral organics QSARs are also not well representative of these chemicals. The
ECOSAR vl.l 1 esters estimated values are reported in the assessment for comparative purposes.

An estimate of NES is the default value used for organics, oligomers, or non-ionic polymers with
a MW >1,000 daltons in the assignment of aquatic toxicity hazard. In EPA's New Chemical
program, aquatic toxicity is not predicted for chemicals with a MW > 1,000 daltons, as uptake has
been found to decrease exponentially with MWs >600 daltons (Nabholz, Clements et al. 1993),
due to a decrease in passive absorption through respiratory membranes (Mayo-Bean, Nabholz et
al. 2011). This methodology was also used in the evaluation of expandable graphite, a large,
insoluble material with a MW >1,000 daltons.

5.5.2   Bioaccumulation

Bioaccumulation is a process in which a chemical substance is absorbed in an organism by all
routes of exposure as occurs in the natural environment (e.g., from dietary and ambient
environment sources). Bioaccumulation is the net result of the competing processes; this includes
uptake, metabolism, and elimination of a chemical in an organism. Bioaccumulation can be
evaluated using the BAF, the steady state ratio of a chemical in an organism relative to its
concentration in the ambient environment, where the organism is exposed through ingestion  and
direct contact. Experimental BAFs have not been widely available in the scientific literature  and,
as a result, experimental BCFs are more commonly used to evaluate the bioaccumulation hazard.
BCFs are defined as the ratio of the concentration of a chemical in an organism to the
concentration of the chemical in the organism's surroundings; BCFs are typically measured for
fish (in water) using guideline studies.

Experimental BAF or BCF values can be compared directly to the DfE criteria for this endpoint
to assign a hazard designation. The BCF/BAF designations range from <100 for a Low
designation to >5,000 for a Very High designation (see Section 5.1.2). If experimental values
were available for both of these endpoints, and the BCF and BAF were > 100 (i.e., above the Low
designation), the largest factor was used to assign hazard designation. If experimental BCFs
                                          5-23

-------
<100 were available, the estimated upper trophic BAF from EPISuite™ was used preferentially
if its use resulted in a more conservative hazard designation, and if the potential for metabolism
was accurately accounted for within the model estimates.

In the absence of experimental data, evaluation of bioaccumulation potential can be done using
the log Kow and the log octanol/air partition coefficient Koa> as estimated by EPISuite™.
However, analysis using Koa requires the use of metabolism data for higher trophic, air breathing
organisms, which can be difficult to obtain from the scientific literature and cannot be readily
estimated. BAFs and BCFs from EPISuite™ were, therefore, typically used for the
bioaccumulation hazard designation when experimental data were lacking. These values can be
compared directly to DfE criteria, and the most conservative result was used for the hazard
designation. For chemicals that had estimated bioaccumulation data, available experimental
monitoring data were used to provide insight into the reliability of the model results. For
example, an estimated Low bioaccumulation potential may be increased to a Moderate
designation if a chemical was routinely identified in samples from higher trophic levels, or a
High designation if the chemical was routinely measured in animals at the top of the food chain.

An estimate of Low is the default value used for discrete organics with a MW >1,000 daltons in
the assignment of bioaccumulation hazard. This assignment is consistent with an analysis of the
chemicals used in the development of the bioconcentration and bioaccumulation estimation
programs in the EPISuite™ software (U.S. EPA 201 Ig). The training  sets for these models
included 527  and 421 chemicals, respectively, with a MW range 68-992 daltons (959 daltons for
BAF). Given  that BCF and BAF reach a maximum and then decrease  with increasing log Kow, a
default value  of Low is, in general, consistent with the limited bioavailability expected for
materials with a MW >1,000 daltons. DfE uses all available well-conducted studies when
evaluating bioaccumulation potential for materials with a MW > 1,000, including environmental
biomonitoring data on higher trophic levels.

In general, for polymers and other materials with a MW > 1,000 daltons, the default
bioaccumulation designation of Low was assigned, arising from their predicted limited
bioavailability (Boethling and Nabholz 1997). A more detailed analysis was performed for
compounds at or near this bright line cutoff, as well as for polymers with components where
residuals <1,000 had the potential to be present.

5.5.3  Environmental Persistence

A chemical's persistence in the environment is evaluated by determining the type and rate of
potential removal  processes. These removal processes were generally  divided into two
categories: chemical and biological. Of the chemical degradation processes, an evaluation of
environmental persistence includes the reaction of a chemical with water, also known as
hydrolysis, because water is ubiquitous in the environment.  Hydrolysis rate constants can be
obtained from the literature or estimated, and the resulting half-lives can be compared directly to
DfE  criteria. For commercial chemicals, hydrolysis tends to be a slower environmental removal
process than biodegradation. Direct and indirect photolysis also represents other potential
chemical degradation processes that are considered in the alternative assessment, and they are
discussed later in this section.
                                          5-24

-------
Biodegradation, the most prevalent biological removal process, was divided into two types. The
first is primary biodegradation, in which a chemical substance is converted to another substance
through a single transformation. The second is ultimate biodegradation, in which a chemical is
completely degraded to CO2, water, and mineral oxides (such as phosphates for chemicals
containing phosphorus). DfE criteria utilize ultimate biodegradation preferentially for the
persistence hazard designation, although primary removal rates were informative in assigning
hazard designations, particularly for materials that were transformed slowly, and to a lesser
extent for those that are transformed rapidly.

If ultimate biodegradation data were not available, primary removal data were used in some
cases. For primary removal processes, the potential for the formation of degradation products
that are more persistent than the parent compounds must be considered in the hazard designation.
When present, the persistent degradation products should be evaluated for fate and toxicity. Half-
life data on the persistent degradation products, if available, were used to determine the
assignment for the persistence designation. In the absence of persistent degradation products,
primary biodegradation half-life data were compared directly to the DfE criteria to assign a
hazard designation.

Biodegradation processes can be classified as either aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic
biodegradation is an oxidative process that occurs in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic
biodegradation is a reductive process that occurs only in the absence of oxygen. Aerobic
biodegradation is typically assessed for soil and water, while anaerobic biodegradation is
generally assessed in sediment. For determining the persistence hazard, the importance of both
aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation, as well as partitioning and transport in the environment,
were considered to determine what removal processes were most likely to occur. Anaerobic
degradation may use any of several electron acceptors, depending on their availability in a given
environment and the prevailing redox potential (Eh). The biodegradative populations that are
dominant in a given environment vary with the conditions, and so do their biodegradative
capabilities.

One aspect of the assessment is to determine  the potential for removal  of a chemical substance,
and especially removal attributable to biodegradation within a sewage  treatment plant and other
environments. In this assessment, the term "ready biodegradability" refers to a chemical's
potential to undergo ultimate degradation in guideline laboratory studies. A positive result in a
test for ready biodegradability can be  considered as indicative of rapid and ultimate degradation
in most environments, including biological sewage treatment plants. Ready tests typically
include a 10-day window, beginning when the biodegradation parameter (e.g., disappearance of
dissolved organic carbon from test substance, or theoretical oxygen demand) reaches 10%. The
10-day window must occur within the 28-day length of the test. If the pass level of the test (60%
for  oxygen demand and CO2 production; 70% for dissolved organic carbon disappearance) is
met in the 10-day window, the chemical received a Very Low hazard designation. Those that did
not pass the 10-day window criterion but met the pass level in 28 days received a Low hazard
designation. If ready biodegradability test data were available but the chemical did not meet the
pass level, the chemical was evaluated based on measured data using the DfE half-life criteria
(Table 5-2). These half-life criteria were also used to assign a hazard designation for non-
guideline ultimate biodegradation studies reported in the scientific literature.
                                          5-25

-------
In the absence of a reported half-life, experimental data were also used to approximate half-life,
as appropriate. For example, a chemical that undergoes <5% removal in 30 days would be
expected to have a half-life >60 days, and would be assigned a High persistence concern.

When experimental data on the biodegradation of a chemical substance were not available, the
potential of that substance to undergo this removal process was assessed from the results of the
EPISuite™ models. These models fall into one of four classes: rapid biodegradation models
based on linear and non-linear regressions that estimate the probability that a chemical substance
will degrade fast; expert survey models that estimated the rate of ultimate and primary
biodegradation using semi-quantitative methods; probability of ready biodegradability in the
OECD 301C test; and probability of rapid biodegradation under methanogenic anaerobic
conditions. Each of these is discussed in the following  paragraphs.

The first models (Biowin 5 and 6) used in the screening assessment estimated ready
biodegradability in the OECD 301C test,  and are also known as Japanese Ministry of
International Trade and Industry (MITI) models. These models provided the probability that a
material passes this standardized test. Those chemicals that were estimated to pass the ready
biodegradability test received a Low persistence designation. If a chemical was not estimated to
pass the MITI test, the results of the other EPISuite™ biodegradation models were used.

The rapid biodegradation potential models within EPISuite™ (Biowin 1 and  2) were useful for
determining if a chemical substance was expected to biodegrade quickly in the environment. If a
chemical was likely to biodegrade quickly, it was generally assigned a Low hazard designation
for persistence. The results of the estimates from these models may be used in concert with the
semi-quantitative output from a second set of models, which include ultimate and primary
biodegradation survey models (Biowin 3  and 4) for evaluating persistence. These models provide
a numeric result, ranging from 1 to 5, which relates to the amount of time required for complete
ultimate degradation (Biowin 3) and removal of the parent substance by primary degradation
(Biowin 4) of the test compound.  The numeric result from Biowin 3 is converted to an estimated
half-life for removal that can be compared directly to DfE criteria. If results from different
models (other than the MITI models) led  to a different  hazard designation, then the ultimate
biodegradation model results were used preferentially.  If the transport properties indicate the
potential for the material to partition to sediment, an anoxic  compartment, then the results of the
anaerobic probability model (Biowin 7) are also evaluated.

Half-lives for hydrolysis from experimental studies or EPISuite™ estimates were used in
preference to biodegradation data when they suggested that hydrolysis is a more rapid removal
process. Hydrolysis half-lives were compared directly to  DfE criteria to assign the persistence
designation. Similar to primary biodegradation,  breakdown products resulting from hydrolysis
were evaluated for fate and toxicity when they were expected to be more persistent than the
parent compound.

Photolysis may also be an important environmental removal process. In general, environmental
removal rates from photolysis do  not compete with biodegradation or hydrolysis, although there
are exceptions, such as iodides. Photolysis may  be an important removal process for chemicals
                                          5-26

-------
that were not bioavailable because of their limited water solubility. Estimation methods for
photolysis rates were not available using computerized SAR tools. If experimental or suitable
analog data were available, the rate of photolysis was evaluated relative to other removal
processes.

When evaluating the environmental persistence designation, it should be noted that chemicals
with a High or Very High designation can degrade over time,  although this process may occur at
a very slow rate. As a result, a Very High designation may have been assigned if persistent
degradates were expected to be produced, even at a very slow rate, in the absence of
experimental biodegradation data for the parent substance.

Chemicals that contain a metal are assigned a High persistence designation in DfE alternatives
assessments, as these inorganic moieties are recalcitrant. In this instance, an 'R' footnote is
added to the hazard summary table to indicate that the persistence potential was based on the
presence of a recalcitrant inorganic moiety. The assessment process also includes the evaluation
of the potential chemical reactions of metal-containing and inorganic moieties to determine if
they were potentially transformed to more or less hazardous forms. However, no alternatives that
contain metals were evaluated in this updated assessment.

Polymers with a MW >1,000 generally received a Very High persistence designation due to their
lack of bioavailability.

5.6  Endocrine Activity

Chemicals included in DfE alternatives  assessments are screened for potential endocrine activity,
consistent with the DfE Alternatives Assessment Criteria. Endocrine activity refers to a change
in endocrine homeostasis caused by a chemical or other stressor. An endocrine disrupter is an
external agent that interferes in some way with the role of natural hormones in the body, in a
manner causing adverse effects. Relevant data are summarized in the hazard assessments for
each chemical, located in Section 7. Data on endocrine activity were available for twelve of the
chemicals included in this report. For chemicals without available data on endocrine activity, this
was acknowledged with a "no data located" statement. When endocrine activity data were
available, the data are summarized as a narrative. A unique hazard designation of Low, Moderate
or High is not provided for this endpoint in Table 5-2, for reasons discussed below.

The document Special Report on Environmental Endocrine Disruption: An Effects Assessment
and Analysis describes EPA's activities regarding the evaluation of endocrine disruption (U.S.
EPA 1997). This report was requested by the  Science Policy Council and prepared by EPA's
Risk Assessment Forum. This report states that "Based on the current state  of the  science, the
Agency does not consider endocrine disruption to be an adverse endpoint per se, but rather to be
a mode or mechanism of action potentially leading to other outcomes, for example, carcinogenic,
reproductive or developmental  effects, routinely considered in reaching regulatory decisions"
(U.S. EPA 1997). The report also states that "Evidence of endocrine disruption alone can
influence priority setting for further testing and the assessment of results of this testing could
lead to regulatory action if adverse effects are shown to occur" (U.S. EPA 1997).
                                          5-27

-------
The 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) directed EPA to develop a scientifically validated
screening program to determine whether certain substances may cause hormonal effects in
humans. In response, EPA established the Endocrine Disrupter Screening Program (EDSP) (U.S.
EPA 2012b). The EDSP is developing requirements for the screening and testing of thousands of
chemicals for their potential to affect the endocrine system. When complete, EPA will use these
screening and testing approaches to set priorities and conduct further testing, when warranted.
The science related to measuring and demonstrating endocrine disruption is relatively new, and
validated testing methods at EPA are still being  developed.

The EDSP proposes a two-tiered approach that includes initial screening followed by more in-
depth testing, when warranted (U.S. EPA 201 la). The Tier 1 screening battery is intended to
identify chemicals with the potential to interact with the estrogen, androgen, or thyroid hormone
systems through any of several recognized modes of action. Positive findings for Tier 1 tests
identify the potential for an interaction with endocrine systems, but do not fully characterize the
nature of possible effects in whole animals. Tier 2 testing is intended to confirm, characterize,
and quantify the effects for chemicals that interact with estrogen, androgen, and thyroid hormone
systems. These test methods must undergo a four-stage validation process  (protocol
development, optimization/prevalidation, validation, and peer-review) prior to regulatory
acceptance and implementation. Validation is ongoing for Tier 1 and Tier 2 methods7. Once
validated test methods have been established for screening and testing of potential endocrine
disrupters, guidance must be developed for interpretation of these test results using an overall
weight-of-evidence characterization.

To assess the data on endocrine activity, DfE applies the weight of evidence approach developed
by the EDSP (U.S. EPA 201 Ic). This process integrates and evaluates data, and always relies on
professional judgment (U.S. EPA 201 Ic). To evaluate endocrine activity with this weight of
evidence approach, DfE examined multiple lines of evidence (when available) and considered
the nature of the effects within and across studies, including number, type, and
severity/magnitude of effects, conditions under which effects occurred (e.g., dose, route,
duration), consistency, pattern, range, and interrelationships of effects observed within and
among studies, species, strains, and sexes, strengths and limitations of the in vitro and in vivo
information, and biological plausibility of the potential for an interaction with the endocrine,
androgen, or thyroid hormonal pathways.

Most test data for chemicals in this report consist of in vitro assays, but results of in vitro assays
alone were not generally expected to provide a sufficient basis to support a hazard designation
for endocrine disruption. EPA expects that in vivo evidence would typically be given greater
overall influence in the weight of evidence evaluation than in vitro findings, because of the
inherent limitations of such assays. Although in  vitro  assays can provide insight into the mode of
action, they have limited ability to account for normal metabolic activation and clearance of the
compound, as well as normal  intact physiological conditions (e.g., the ability of an animal to
compensate for endocrine alterations).

                                           5-28

-------
As described in the DfE Alternatives Assessment Criteria, endocrine activity was summarized in
a narrative, rather than by High, Moderate or Low hazard designation. The endocrine activity
summaries can be found in the hazard profiles. This is an appropriate approach because there is
no consensus on what constitutes high, moderate or low concern for this endpoint. The summary
of endocrine activity largely relies on representative studies and expert review summaries.

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard   = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment
[(Quantitative) Structure Activity Relationships "(Q)SAR"].

d This hazard designation would be assigned MODERATE for a potential for lung overloading if >5% of the particles are in the respirable range as a result of dust forming
operations.

Chemical Considerations: High-MW ammonium polyphosphate (n>50) with a minimum of water-soluble fractions are being used to an increasing extent in flame
retardants (Gard, 2005, Schrodter et al., 2005). These insoluble ammonium polyphosphates are long chain, ionic phosphate polymers with the following MF:
(NH4)k-H(n+2-k)PnO(3n+i), where n typically can range from 70 (Wanjie International Co., 2007) to >1,000 (PINFA, 2010) and k represents the degree of replacement of
hydrogen ions with ammonium ions. MWs can be as high as 100,000 g/mole and oligomers with a MW <1,000 are not expected. The high MW inorganic polymer
was assessed as a non-bioavailable material. Prior assessments for similar polyphosphates evaluated the lower, water soluble moieties, which also have application as
aflame retardant (Professional judgment; SinoHarvest, 2013).
Polymeric: Yes
Oligomeric: Not applicable
Metabolites, Degradates and Transformation Products: Ammonia; phosphate (Leisewitz et al., 2000)
Analog: None
Endpoint(s) using analog values: Not applicable
Analog Structure: Not applicable
Structural Alerts: Not applicable
Risk Phrases: This substance is not classified in the Annex 1 of Directive 67/548/EEC (ESIS, 2012).
Hazard and Risk Assessments: The Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) Safer Alternative Assessment for Decabromodiphenyl Ether Flame
Retardant in Plastic Pallets includes a GreenScreen Assessment of Ammonium Polyphosphate although these were performed on lower MW materials (MDEP, 2007).

Absorption is not expected for any route of exposure. This inorganic polymer moiety is large with a MW
>1,000. Based on professional judgment, it is expected to have limited bioavailability and therefore is not
expected to be readily absorbed, distributed or metabolized in the body.

Gastrointestinal absorption of higher
polyphosphates following ingestion is
probably low; they are most likely
hydrolyzed by stomach acids to
phosphate and ammonium ions.
No absorption is expected for all routes
of exposure if insoluble in water.

LOW: Water insoluble polymers with a MW >1,000 that do not contain reactive functional groups and are
comprised of minimal low MW oligomers are estimated to have no effects at saturation (NES). These
polymers have NES because the amount dissolved in water is not anticipated to reach a concentration at
which adverse effects may be expressed. Based on professional judgment, guidance for the assessment of
aquatic toxicity hazard leads to a low concern for those materials that display NES. Experimental data are
also consistent with this hazard designation.

VERY HIGH: This polymer is large, with a MW >1,000. It is expected to have negligible water solubility
and poor bioavailability to microorganisms indicating that biodegradation is not expected to be an
important removal process in the environment. Hydrolysis is expected for ammonium polyphosphates,
mainly via end-clipping of a monophosphate unit to form monoammonium phosphate. Hydrolysis rates
increase with increasing chain lengths, but reach a limit when n>50. Qualitative statements from
manufacturers indicate hydrolysis is slow, but increases with prolonged exposure to water and elevated
temperatures. Therefore, hydrolysis is not expected to occur at a rate that would greatly reduce the
polymeric chain. Furthermore, long-chain ammonium polyphosphates produced for flame retardant
applications may be formulated with melamine or other stabilizers that impede hydrolysis. Evaluation of
these values suggest that APP polymer size will be reduced by primary degradation but ultimate
degradation of the HMW polymer is >180 days.

Toxicokinetics
                             TBB is estimated to have poor absorption by all routes of exposure based on analogy to a structurally
                             similar confidential analog; however, experimental data for Firemaster 550 (a mixture made up of a sum
                             total of TBB and TBPH of 50%) indicate that absorption of TBB can occur in rats following oral
                             exposure from gestation through lactation. TBB was detected in tissues of exposed dams and the pups
                             following exposure to FM550. The primary metabolite of TBB (TBBA) was also detected in dam livers.
                             TBB from a BZ-54 (TBB and TBPH mixture) was shown to be metabolized by hepatic subcellular
                             fractions in fathead minnow, carp, and mouse. The final metabolite is tetrabromobenzoic acid TBBA
                             (27581-13-1). This was confirmed in vitro using liver and intestinal subcellular fraction. In all
                             experiments, TBB was consistently metabolized to TBBA via cleavage of the 2-ethylhexyl chain without
                             requiring added cofactors. No phase II metabolites of TBBA were detected. The metabolism of TBB in
                             humans has not been evaluated.

Pregnant rats were administered 0, 0.1 or

gestation and through lactation
(Gestation day (GD) 8 - PND 21)
FM550 components including TBPH
was detected in adipose, liver, and
muscle tissues in Dams at PND 21 with
the highest concentration in the adipose
tissue (768 ng/g w.w. in high dose, 29.6
ng/g w.w. in low dose, <  7.0 ng/g w.w.
in controls). The primary metabolite of
TBB (TBBA) was also detected in liver
tissue of dams on  PND 21.
TBB was detected in pooled PND21 pup
adipose tissue. TBB was not detected in
pooled pup adipose tissue by PND220.
Patisauletal., 2013
Non guideline study indicates that
absorption of this compound can
occur in rats through oral exposure;
the test substance identified as
FM550 is a mixture made up of
TBB, TBPH (sum total of TBB
and TBPH is approximately 50%),
TPP and IPTPP; it is unclear if
absorption in pups occurred due to
gestational exposure or through
lactation.

Reproductive Effects
MODERATE: No reproductive effects were reported in a 2-generation oral (gavage) reproductive
toxicity study in rats at doses up to 165 mg/kg-day (highest dose tested) of Firemaster BZ 54 (commercial
mixture of TBB and TBPH) with a larger constituent of TBB. The NOAEL of 165 mg/kg-day falls within
the Moderate hazard criteria range; it is possible that effects driven by either component may occur
within the Moderate hazard range if tested at a higher dose. It is not clear which component or
components of the commercial mixture caused the reported developmental effects. Data from a
reproductive/developmental toxicity screen in rats exposed to a similar compound to a component of
Firemaster 550 (commercial mixture containing TBB and TBPH) indicated histopathological effects in
female reproductive organs at doses > 25 mg/kg-day (lowest dose tested; a NOAEL was not identified). It
is uncertain if the commercial mixture contained TBB.

Developmental Effects
MODERATE: Developmental effects were reported in a 2-generation reproductive toxicity study in rats
and a prenatal study in rats exposed to CN-2065 (a commercial mixture of TBB and TBPH with the
predominant constituent being TBB). Developmental effects were reported at doses of 165 mg/kg-day
and 100 mg/kg-day in the 2-generation and prenatal studies, respectively. Both studies had a NOAEL of
50 mg/kg-day which falls within the Moderate hazard criteria range. It is not clear which component or
components of the commercial mixture caused the reported developmental effects.
Development/neurodevelopmental effects were reported in a study in pregnant Wistar rats administered
a FM550 mixture (sum total of TBB and TBPH approximately 50%) during gestation though lactation
(GD8 - PND21); developmental effects included early female puberty, weight gain, altered exploratory
behavior, and increased male left ventricle thickness (LOAEL = 1 mg/kg-day, NOAEL = 0.1 mg/kg-day).
It is uncertain which component or components of the FM 550 mixture is driving the reported
developmental effects. While the FM 550 mixture data indicates a High hazard potential, it may be the
other components driving the reported toxicity. Experimental data indicated no effects on embryonic
survival or development in exposed zebrafish embryos.

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: Estimated based on an increased incidence of sparse hair in abdominal region, reduced
body weight, and reduced food consumption in dams during gestation in a prenatal study in rats exposed
to CN-2065 (commercial mixture of TBB and TBPH with the predominant constituent being TBB) on
GD 6-19 at doses > 100 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 50 mg/kg-day). Reduced body weight and body weight
gain during the premating period in parental FO and Fl female rats treated with 165 mg/kg-day CN-
2065 (NOAEL = 50 mg/kg-day) was also reported in a 2-generation oral reproductive toxicity in rats. In
addition, TBB is Estimated to have a moderate potential for liver effects and cerebral hemorrhages
based on a closely related confidential analog and professional judgment and is estimated to have
kidney, liver, adrenal, thymus, developmental, reproductive, and neurological effects following long-
term exposure to commercial mixtures that included TBB.

Level III Fugacity Model
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, TBB is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water. Hydrolysis of
TBB is not expected to occur at a significant rate at environmentally-relevant pH conditions. TBB is
expected to have low mobility in soil based on its measured K0o Therefore, leaching of TBB through soil
to groundwater is not expected to be an important transport mechanism. Estimated volatilization half-
lives indicate that it will be slightly volatile from surface water. In the atmosphere, TBB is expected to
exist in the particulate phase, based on its estimated vapor pressure. Particulates will be removed from
air by wet or dry deposition.

HIGH: The persistence hazard designation for TBB is based on estimated rates of removal in soil and
the persistence of degradation products. Confidential experimental biodegradation studies reported half-
lives of 3.5 days in water and 8.5 days in sediment with a shake flask die-away test and 6% degradation
after 28 days in a closed bottle test. There was 93% removal of a commercial mixture containing TBB in
an activated sludge simulation test due to sorption to sludge. TBB has an estimated half-life of 120 days
in soil where fugacity models indicate that it is expected to partition. Although TBB may undergo
hydrolysis under basic conditions, the resulting hydrolysis products are expected to have high
persistence. TBB has the potential to undergo photodegradation, under laboratory conditions when
dissolved in organic solvents, however the importance of this process under environmental conditions
cannot be determined. The vapor phase reaction half-life of TBB with atmospheric hydroxyl radicals is
estimated at < 1 day, although it is expected to exist primarily in the particulate phase in air.

Toxicokinetics
                                TBPH is estimated to have poor absorption by all routes of exposure based on analogy to a
                                structurally similar confidential analog; however, experimental data for the FM550 (a mixture made
                                up of a sum total of TBB and TBPH of 50%) indicate that absorption of TBPH can occur in rats
                                following oral exposure from gestation through lactation. TBPH was detected in liver tissues of dams
                                following exposure to FM550, but not in any evaluated tissues in the offspring. The monoester,
                                mono(2-ethylhexyl)tetrabromophthalate (TBMEHP 61776-60-1) was identified as the primary
                                metabolite when tested in vitro. There were no metabolites of TBPH detected in human or rat
                                subcellular fractions; however, in the presence of purified porcine carboxylesterase, the formation of
                                TBMEHP was detected at a rate of 1.08 mol min ' mg protein"1. No phase II metabolites of TBMEHP
                                were detected. TBPH in humans has not been evaluated. TBPH was also found to be metabolized in
                                vitro in hepatic subcellular fractions of fathead minnow, common carp, wild-type mice, and snapping

                          absorption of this compound can occur

                          substance identified as FM550 is a
                          mixture made up of TBB and TBPH

In vitro metabolism experiments

TBPH identified monoester,
mono(2-
ethylhexyl)tetrabromophthalate
(TBMEHP 61776-60-1) as the
primary metabolite when tested in
vitro. There were no metabolites of
TBPH detected in human or rat
subcellular fractions; however, in
the presence of purified porcine
carboxylesterase, the formation of
TBMEHP was detected at a rate of
1.08 mol min-1 mg protein-1. No
phase II metabolites of TBMEHP
were detected. TBPH in humans has
not been evaluated.
Roberts etal., 2012
TBPH appears to be more recalcitrant
to metabolism than TBB, and may
have a longer half-life after absorption
in vivo which may influence potential
toxicity. The metabolism of TBPH to
TBMEHP may also influence the
toxicity of TBPH, but metabolism may
not occur quickly enough to influence
the bioaccumulation of TBPH.
                                   TBPH was metabolized to
                                   TBMEHP at a rate of 89

MODERATE: No reproductive effects were reported in a 2-generation oral (gavage) reproductive
toxicity study in rats at doses up to 165 mg/kg-day (highest dose tested) of Firemaster BZ 54
(commercial mixture of TBB and TBPH) with a larger constituent of TBB. The NOAEL of 165
mg/kg-day falls within the Moderate hazard criteria range; it is possible that effects driven by either
component may occur within the Moderate hazard range if tested at a higher dose. Exposure to
TBPH did not cause adverse changes in testes or ovary weights in a 28-day repeat dose study in rats;
however, while reproductive organs and tissues were examined, other reproductive parameters were
not reported to have been examined. Data from  a reproductive/developmental toxicity screen in rats
exposed to a similar compound to a component of Firemaster 550 (commercial mixture containing
TBB and TBPH) indicated histopathological effects in female reproductive organs at doses > 25
mg/kg-day (lowest dose tested; a NOAEL was not identified). It is uncertain if the commercial

MODERATE: Developmental effects were reported in a 2-generation reproductive toxicity study in

Development/neurodevelopmental effects were reported in a study in pregnant Wistar rats
administered a FM550 mixture (sum total of TBB and TBPH approximately 50%) during gestation
though lactation (GD8 - PND21); developmental effects included early female puberty, weight gain,
altered exploratory behavior, and increased male left ventricle thickness (LOAEL = 1 mg/kg-day,
NOAEL = 0.1 mg/kg-day). It is uncertain which component or components of the FM 550 mixture is
driving the reported developmental effects. While the FM 550 mixture data indicates a High hazard
potential, it may be the other components driving the reported toxicity. Gestational exposure to the
TBPH monoester metabolite TBMEHP at a dose of 200 mg/kg-day resulted in an increased number
of altered seminiferous cords (MNGs) per cord area in male fetuses from exposed rat dams.
Experimental data indicated no effects on embryonic survival or development in exposed zebrafish
embryos.

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: There was a slight decrease in body weight along with decreased calcium and
phosphorus levels in female rats with a LOAEL= 20,000 ppm (2,110 mg/kg-day). While this effect is
known to occur at values that fall within the hazard criteria range for a LOW hazard designation,
the NOAEL is identified as 2,000 ppm (211 mg/kg-day). The hazard criteria values are based on 90-
day studies; therefore, the hazard criteria values are tripled for chemicals evaluated in 28-day
studies. The LOAEL of 2,110 mg/kg-day remains in the Low hazard category, while the NOAEL of
211 mg/kg-day falls within the Moderate hazard designation (30 - 300 mg/kg-day). There is
uncertainty as to where effects may occur. A Moderate hazard was designated as a conservative
approach. TBPH is also estimated to have a Moderate potential for liver effects cerebral
hemorrhages based on a closely related confidential analog and professional judgment and is
estimated to have kidney, liver, adrenal, thymus, developmental, reproductive, and neurological
effects following long-term exposure to commercial mixtures that included TBPH. There was an
increased incidence of sparse hair in abdominal region, reduced body weight, and reduced food
consumption  in dams during gestation in a prenatal study in rats exposed to CN-2065 (commercial
mixture of TBB and TBPH with the predominant constituent being TBB) on GD 6-19 at doses > 100

Endocrine Activity
One study indicated that TBPH does not cause changes in estrogenic and androgenic activity in yeast
reporter-gene assays. Increased serum thyroxine (T4) levels were reported in the serum of dams
following oral administration to FM500 (mixture of 50% sum total of TBB and TBPH); other
components of the mixture are TPP and IPTPP. It is unclear which component or components of the
mixture are driving the endocrine activity effects.

Level III Fugacity Model
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that
at steady state, TBPH is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water.
Hydrolysis of TBPH is not expected to occur at a significant rate at environmentally-relevant pH
conditions. TBPH is expected to have low mobility in soil based on its measured Koc value. Leaching
of TBPH through soil to groundwater is not expected to be an important transport mechanism.
Estimated volatilization half-lives indicate that it will be non-volatile from surface water. In the
atmosphere, TBPH is expected to exist in the particulate phase, based on its estimated vapor
pressure. Particulates will be removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

Persistence
                                 HIGH: The primary removal processes of TBPH produce persistent metabolites and degradation
                                 products resulting in a high persistence designation. TBPH was reported to have a half-life of 3.5
                                 days in water and 8.5 days in sediment in a confidential shake flask die-away test.  In two closed
                                 bottle tests <4 or 2% of theoretical oxygen demand in a Closed Bottle test was reported after 28 days.
                                 TBPH has an estimated half-life of 120 days in soil where it is mainly expected to partition. TBPH is
                                 not expected to undergo hydrolysis at appreciable rates. Hydrolysis rates are expected to be pH-
                                 dependent and may be limited the by low water solubility of this compound. TBPH has the potential
                                 to undergo photodegradation, in an experimental study, half-lives of 147 to 220 minutes were
                                 obtained in the presence of organic solvents. The vapor phase reaction half-life of  TBPH with
                                 atmospheric hydroxyl radicals is estimated at <1 day, although it is expected to exist primarily in the

HIGH: The bioaccumulation hazard designation is estimated based on TBPH monitoring data
reporting detections in many different species including those higher on the food chain. In addition, a
stable metabolite and degradation product of TBPH is expected to have a moderate bioaccumulation
designation based on an estimated BAF value. Although the experimental BAF is low, the persistence
of TBPH and its detection in many species from different habitats and trophic levels indicates
potential for a high bioaccumulation designation in aquatic or terrestrial species.

Tradenames: Fyrol 6; LEVAGARD 4090 N; ADEKA FC 450
Chemical Considerations: The substance is a discrete chemical, but is sold at 70-90% purity. The substance, Phosphonic acid, P-[[bis(2-
hydroxyethyl)amino]methyl]-, diethyl ester, reacts into the polymer during curing. The major impurities are most likely residual starting materials diethylphosphite,
diethanolamine and formaldehyde. EPI v4.1 1 was employed to estimate physical/chemical and environmental fate values due to an absence of experimental data
(Supresta, 2006).
Polymeric: No
Oligomeric: Not applicable
Metabolites, Degradates and Transformation Products: Hydrolysis products are diethylphosphite (762-04-9) and the diethanolamine/formaldehyde reaction
product (72624-00-1); this latter substance can further degrade to form diethanolamine (1 1 1-42-2) and formaldehyde (50-00-0) (Sturtz et al., 1977; Professional
judgment).

MODERATE: Data for three structurally similar analogs indicate evidence of Carcinogenicity in laboratory
animals. Rats exposed orally to DMP, DMMP or DMMPA had increased incidence of lung tumors, leukemia, or
tidney tumors but mice exposed orally to DMP or DMMPA did not have increased tumor incidence. While there
is no evidence to indicate this compound is a suspected human carcinogen, the evidence of Carcinogenicity in
laboratory animals for the analogs and the uncertainty based on lack of studies on this compound warrants a
Moderate hazard designation.

Level III Fugacity Model
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at steady
state, diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a
lesser extent, water. Diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate is expected to exist in both neutral and
cationic forms at environmentally-relevant pH, based on the estimated pKb values. The neutral form of diethyl
bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate is expected to have high mobility in soil based on its estimated Koc.
The cationic form may have less mobility, as cations bind more strongly to organic carbon and clay due to their
positive charge. Estimated volatilization half-lives indicate that the substance will be nonvolatile from surface
water. In the atmosphere, diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate is expected to exist in both vapor
and particulate phases, based on its estimated vapor pressure. Particulates will be removed from air by wet or
dry deposition. Vapor-phase diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate will be susceptible to
atmospheric degradation processes.

DATA QUALITY
HIGH: Experimental studies on the commercial product, which is estimated to contain approximately 85%
diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate, determined the substance to be not readily biodegradable
using a modified Sturm test (OECD TG 301B), as only 15-19% biodegradation occurred over 28 days using
activated sewage sludge as the inoculum. Diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate undergoes
hydrolysis under alkaline conditions, with a half-life of 14 hours at pH 9; it is relatively stable to hydrolysis
under neutral and acidic conditions, with half-lives of 26 days at pH 7 and 179 days at pH 4. Diethyl bis(2-
hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight, since it
does not absorb light at wavelengths >290 nm. The atmospheric half-life of vapor phase diethyl bis(2-
hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate is estimated to be 0.9 hours, although it is expected to exist primarily in
the particulate phase in air.

Confidential C was found to absorb into the hepatic portal circulation following dietary exposure;
metabolism is likely to occur in the liver. Confidential D is hydrolyzed in the liver to produce a primary
metabolite. Confidential D can be detected in human breast milk.

Confidential C: Rats were fed diets
containing 03, 0.3 or 3.0%
Confidential C for 5 or 14 weeks or
0.25 or 0.5 ml/kg for 18 weeks.
Confidential C was absorbed into the
hepatic portal circulation. The site of
metabolism is likely to be the liver,
which was the only target organ for
toxicity in this study
Confidential D: Pregnant rats were
administered 0, 0.1 or 1 mg/kg-day of
confidential product in the diet across
gestation and through lactation (GD8
-PND21)
Components of a confidential product
were detected in adipose, liver, and
muscle tissues in Dams at PND 21
with the highest concentration in the
adipose tissue (768 ng/g w.w. in high
dose, 29.6 ng/g w.w. in low dose,
<7.0 ng/g w.w. in controls). The
primary metabolite was also detected
in liver tissue of dams on PND 2 1 .
Confidential D: Confidential D is
hydrolyzed in rat liver homogenate to
produce metabolites.

HIGH: Based on a 4-hour inhalation LC50 < 5.03 mg/L in rats following exposure to Confidential C. The
LC50 value of 5.03 mg/L is in the Moderate hazard criteria range, the actual LC50 could possibly be < 1.0
mg/L; therefore, a conservative hazard designation is assigned. Confidential C is of LOW concern for acute
toxicity via the oral and dermal routes of exposure. Acute toxicity is LOW for Confidential D and E.

Reproductive Effects
MODERATE: No adverse effects were observed on fetal viability, post-implantation loss, total implantations
or the incidence of fetal malformations at doses up to 1,500 mg/kg-day (LOAEL not established) following
gestational oral exposure to Confidential C in rats. Although no reproductive effects were observed in this
study, there is a lack of data on reproductive parameters as measured in fertility or multigenerational
studies and no data were available for other routes of exposure. It is uncertain if effects would occur in more
definitive studies or via other routes; a Moderate hazard has been designated based on this uncertainty.
Reproductive toxicity is LOW for Confidential D and E.

Neurotoxicity
MODERATE: Neurotoxic effects following exposure to Confidential C included morphological changes to
the sciatic nerve, reduction in caudal nerve response and increases in absolute and relative refractory
periods at a dose of 255 mg/kg-day in rats (lowest dose tested). These studies indicated that there is some
potential for neurotoxicity at higher doses. In addition, there is potential for neurotoxic effects based on a
structural alert. A NOAEL and LOAEL of ~ 10 and ~ 100 mg/kg-day, respectively were established in
rabbits following dermal exposure to Confidential E. Adverse effects included decreased brain
cholinesterase. The potential for neurotoxic effects following exposure to Confidential D is LOW.

Repeated Dose Effects
HIGH: Based on weight of evidence including reduced body weight in male rats administered Confidential D
in the diet for 28-days. The NOAEL of 23.5 mg/kg-day and the LOAEL of 161.4 mg/kg-day span across the
High and Moderate hazard designation ranges (DfE criteria are for 90-day repeated dose studies; criteria
values are tripled for chemicals evaluated in 28-day studies making the High hazard range < 30 mg/kg-day
and the Moderate hazard range between 30 and 300 mg/kg-day). Repeated dose toxicity is of MODERATE
concern for Confidential E (based on a NOAEL and LOAEL of ~ 10 and ~ 100 mg/kg-day, respectively in a
dermal study in rabbits) and of LOW concern for Confidential C (based on a NOAEL and LOAEL value of
100 mg/kg-day and > 200 mg/kg-day, respectively, in rats following oral exposure).

Confidential C is listed in one study in the top 20 EOCs (endocrine disrupting chemicals) in U.S. stream
waters. It inhibited the luciferase expression induced by dihydrotestosterone and 1713-estradiol and increased
both 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) concentrations in H295R cells. Confidential C was negative
for estrogenic activity in a yeast two-hybrid assay and did not act as an estrogen receptor agonist or
adversely affect sex hormones of zebrafish.
Confidential D was found to be inactive in estrogen-receptor binding assays; however, it was shown to be a
moderate androgen-receptor (AR) binder in a competitive binding assay. Confidential D was shown to
inhibit human AR in the absence of agonist and to inhibit testosterone-induced AR activity. In addition,
Confidential D significantly impaired reproduction in zebrafish and was correlated with decreased sperm
count and altered hormone levels in men. Increased serum thyroxine (T4) levels were reported in the serum
of dams following oral administration to a confidential product containing Confidential D; other components
of the mixture were not identified. It is unclear which component or components of the mixture are driving
the endocrine activity effects.
No data were available for Confidential E. By analogy, rats exposed to a mixture containing Confidential E
had significantly prolonged diestrus, hypertrophy and cholesteryl lipidosis of adrenocortical and ovarian
interstitial cells and minimal degeneration in the adrenal cortex and ovary. No effect on the testes was noted.

steroidogenic gene transcriptions were
measured using H295R cells. With
MVLN cells, estrogen receptor
binding activities of OPFRs were
evaluated. In zebrafish, sex hormones
and related gene transcriptions were
determined for each sex after 14 days
of exposure. Confidential C increased
both 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and
testosterone (T) concentrations in
H295R cells. In MVLN cells.
Transcription of SULT1E1 and
SULT2A1 genes was down-regulated
when the cells were exposed to 10

Sediment/Soil
Adsorption/Desorption - Koc
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at steady
state, the components of this mixture are expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water.
Confidential C and D are expected to have moderate mobility in soil, based on measured Koc values in silty
clay, loamy sand and silt loam and estimates. Confidential E is expected to have negligible mobility in soil.
Leaching through soil to groundwater may occur, though it is not expected to be an important transport
mechanism. Confidential D may volatilize from moist soil and water surfaces based on its Henry's Law
constant. Volatilization from dry surface is not expected based on its vapor pressure. In the atmosphere,
Confidential D is expected to exist in both the vapor phase and particulate phase; Confidential C and E are
expected to exist in the particulate phase. Particulates may be removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

MODERATE: Based on primary and ultimate biodegradation data that suggest a half-life for ultimate
degradation of >16 days and <60 days for Confidential E based on a close structural analog. Biodegradation
studies for an analog to Confidential E reported 100% primary degradation after approximately 11 days in a
river die-away study and 93% primary degradation after 9 weeks in a SCAS test using activated sludge
inoculum under aerobic conditions. The analog to Confidential E was found to have primary half-lives of 4.2
and 8.4 days in pond and river sediment, respectively, and showed mineralization of 1.7-37.2% after 8 weeks
in water-sediment microcosms. However, DfE criteria are based on ultimate biodegradation and the above
results are consistent with a MODERATE designation. Other components of the commercial mixture were
found to degrade more rapidly. Confidential C was found to be readily biodegradable with activated sludge
inoculum and the modified Sturm test. Confidential D was found to be readily biodegradable in a Japanese
MITI ready biodegradability test, OECD 301C and 93.8% removal of Confidential D as dissolved organic
carbon (DOC) occurred over 20 days in an OECD 303A guideline study. The biodegradation results for
Confidential C and D are consistent with a Low persistence designation. The mixture contains phosphate
esters; these components are expected to be generally resistant to hydrolysis in neutral or acidic waters, but
may be hydrolyzed slowly in alkaline waters. Photolysis is not expected to be an important fate process since
this mixture does not contain compounds with functional groups that would be expected to absorb light in
the environment.

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment
[(Quantitative) Structure Activity Relationships "(Q)SAR"].

* Expandable graphite commercial formulations are prepared using chemical washes which may be present in the final product as residues. The associated hazards vary depending on
the specific wash chemicals used, and as a result, the hazards may change by manufacturer. One confidential wash has additional hazard concern as follows, based on experimental
data: HIGH-Acute Toxicity, Eye Irritation, Dermal irritation. Other manufacturers may use a wash that contains chromic acid (CASRN 7738-94-5) with additional hazard concerns
as follows, based on experimental data: HIGH-Acute Toxicity, Carcinogenicity, Genotoxicity, Reproductive, Repeated dose, Skin sensitization, Respiratory sensitization, Eye
Irritation, Dermal irritation.

Synonyms: Sulfuric acid, compd. with graphite; Sulfuric acid, compd. With graphite (1:?); Expandable graphite; exfoliated graphite; sulfuric acid, compound with
graphite; graphite hydrogen sulfate (CASRN 12689-13-3); graphite bisulfate (CASRN 12689-13-3); graphite intercalation compounds
Chemical Considerations: Expandable graphite is manufactured by a process where the carbon sheets of graphite are modified by oxidative chemical treatment. The
oxidation of graphite causes an increase in the distance between graphite crystal lattice planes and an increase in the specific volume of the graphite particles by a
factor of 200 to 400. There are different hazards that result from the specific wash chemicals used and, as a result, the hazards may change by manufacturer.
Commercial expandable graphite products may contain 0.1-3.0% free silica or quartz (CASRN 14808-60-7) as residuals from graphite. Synthetic and natural graphite
may be mixtures that contain deliberate additives such as cristobalite, clay, coal, and petroleum products. Also, natural graphite is usually found associated with
impurities such as mica, iron oxide, granite and free silica in 2-25%. Expandable graphite is typically 85-98% carbon (CASRN 7782-42-5); the other components of
the commercial products are the expansion agents (i.e., sulfuric acid CASRN 7664-93-9) and other formulation specific confidential additives. Nanoscale components
are not expected to be present and were not included in this assessment. Expandable graphite particle sizes reported in product documentation are typically >200(im x
30 (im, outside of the nanoscale range (Jager et al., 2010; MSDS, 2012; AvTech Industries, 2013; GrafTech, 2013; IPCS, 2013; Professional judgment).

MODERATE: No experimental data were located for expandable graphite. Graphite (CASRN 7782-42-5)
is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by IARC and a suspected carcinogen by NTP. These classifications
are based on quartz as an impurity, and do not apply to graphite that is completely free of quartz.
However, there is no evidence of graphite on the market in pure form. In order to remain conservative, a
MODERATE hazard is designated by analogy to graphite.
Expandable graphite commercial formulations are prepared with chemical washes. There are variable
hazards from the specific wash chemicals used and, as a result the hazards may change by manufacturer.
A High hazard concern for Carcinogenicity is estimated for formulations containing chromic acid (CASRN
7738-94-5).

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: No experimental data were located for expandable graphite. There were no adverse effects
in rats at doses up to 1159 mg/kg-day in an oral combined repeated dose reproduction/developmental
toxicity screening study using graphite (CASRN 7782-42-5). Repeated inhalation of graphite fumes or dust
over a prolonged period of time may increase the risk of developing lung diseases. Prolonged and repeated
overexposure to graphite dust can lead to pneumoconiosis and may increase the risks of developing
respiratory cancer. It should be noted that the potential for fibrotic disease is a result of exposure to
quartz as an impurity, and not to pure graphite.
Expandable graphite commercial formulations are prepared with chemical washes. There are variable
hazards from the specific wash chemicals used and, as a result the hazards may change by manufacturer.
A High hazard concern for repeated dose toxicity is estimated for formulations containing chromic acid
(CASRN 7738-94-5).

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment
[(Quantitative) Structure Activity Relationships "(Q)SAR"].

* Each hazard designation for a mixture is based upon the component with the highest hazard, whether it is an experimental or estimated value.
d This hazard designation would be assigned MODERATE for a potential for lung overloading if >5% of the particles are in the respirable range as a result of dust forming
operations.
§ Based on analogy to experimental data for a structurally similar compound.
* The highest hazard designation of any of the oligomers with MW < 1,000.
00 Based on experimental test data for a residual impurity reported to be present in this substance at levels up to 5% by weight.

Chemical Considerations: This alternative is a mixture that contains polymeric components. Residual monomers, unreacted starting material and low MW oligomers
are expected to be present at a level requiring their assessment. The oligomers that have a MW >1,000 are assessed using the available polymer assessment literature.
The lower MW components and oligomers with a MW <1,000 are assessed with EPI v4.11 and ECOSAR vl. 11 estimates due to an absence of publicly available
experimental data (Boethling and Nabholz, 1997).
Polymeric: Yes
Oligomeric: Confidential oligomers
Metabolites, Degradates and Transformation Products: None identified; although biodegradation or hydrolysis pathways may yield confidential substances

Confidential A: For low MW
components (n < 6), absorption is
expected to be low for all routes
based on confidential analogs. For
high MW components, no absorption
is expected through the skin and
gastrointestinal tract. Poor absorption
is expected in the lungs because the
polymer is dispersible due to its
physical chemical properties.

The study is a quality guideline study
reported in a secondary source; It cannot be
used to determine a hazard designation
)ecause there were no effects at the highest
concentrations tested (4.14 mg/L); From
this data, it cannot be determined if effects
happened at 4.15 mg/L (MODERATE) or
at a concentration that can be considered
^OW; therefore, this study cannot be used
to determine a hazard designation.
MODERATE: Confidential B is estimated to have uncertain potential for carcinogenicity based on analogy
to related chemicals and professional judgment. Confidential A is estimated to have low potential for
carcinogenicity.

MODERATE: There is uncertain concern for mutagenicity of Confidential A. This substance did not cause
gene mutations in bacteria; however, there is uncertainty due to the lack of experimental data for this
endpoint. Complete data requirements for this endpoint are both gene mutation and chromosomal
aberration assays. For instances of incomplete or inadequate mutagenicity/genotoxicity data, a Low hazard
designation cannot be given. The genotoxicity hazard of Confidential B is LOW based on negative results in
in vitro and in vivo studies.

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: Experimental data reported alveolar histiocytosis in rats following a 4-week inhalation
exposure to 0.5 mg/L Confidential B aerosol (NOAEL = 0.1 mg/L). The criteria threshold for a low hazard
designation is 0.2 mg/L for mists based on 90-day repeated dose studies; guidance values are tripled for 28-
day study evaluations making the MODERATE hazard range from 0.06 - 0.6 mg/L No other exposure-
related gross or microscopic pathology was identified in any organ. There is also potential for liver toxicity
based on a confidential analog, though no effects occurred at 300 mg/kg-day for that analog (higher than
the criteria threshold for a low hazard designation). Confidential A is estimated to have low potential for
repeated dose effects based on expert judgment.

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
VERY HIGH: Based on an experimental 21-day NOEC = 0.021 mg/L in Daphnia magna following
exposure to Confidential B that may contain a residual impurity (up to 5%) with a Very High
chronic aquatic toxicity. There were no effects observed at the highest dose tested (0.021 mg/L);
however, this value is within the "Very High" hazard criteria range. It is not certain if effects may
occur within this range (up to 0.1 mg/L). For Confidential A, an estimated chronic aquatic toxicity
value was derived using an acute-to-chronic ratio (ACR)  for the phosphate ester class and was
applied to the available experimental acute data for this chemical and indicated a Low hazard.

Transport
The environmental fate for the lower MW oligomers; with MW<1,000 is based on the estimated moderate
water solubility and low vapor pressure indicating that the lower MW oligomers are anticipated to
partition predominantly to soil. The higher MW oligomers where with MW>1,000 are expected to have
negligible water solubility and negligible vapor pressure indicating that the higher MW oligomers are
anticipated to partition predominantly to soil and sediment. The components of the mixture are expected to
be immobile in soil based on the estimated Koc values. Leaching through soil to groundwater is not expected
to be an important transport mechanism. Estimated volatilization half-lives indicate that the components
will be non-volatile from surface water. Volatilization from dry surface is also not expected based on its
vapor pressure. In the atmosphere, the mixture components are expected to exist solely in the particulate
phase, based on its estimated vapor pressure. Particulates may be removed from air by wet or dry
deposition.

Persistence
                               VERY HIGH: The persistence designation is based on the higher MW components (MW >1,000). The
                               lower MW oligomers (MW <1,000) are expected to have lower persistence because of their higher water
                               solubility and increased bioavailability to microorganisms. The higher MW components are expected to
                               have higher persistence because of their low water solubility and poor bioavailability, indicating that
                               neither biodegradation nor hydrolysis are expected to be important environmental fate processes. A ready
                               test using the OECD guideline 301D demonstrated 0% biodegradation occurred after 28 days and 2%
                               biodegradation was achieved after 140 days. In a nonguideline study with limited details, slow hydrolysis
                               was reported for a confidential commercial product at normal temperatures in acidic and alkaline aqueous
                               solutions. Additionally, this mixture does not contain components with functional groups that would be
                               expected to absorb light at environmentally significant wavelengths. Experimental values for commercial
                               products and evaluation of the higher MW components of this polymer suggest an environmental half-life
                               of >180 days. Moderate persistence is expected for Confidential B based on experimental biodegradation
                               studies.

The oligomers with a MW > 1,000 are not
anticipated to be assimilated by
microorganisms. Therefore, biodegradation
is not expected to be an important removal
process. The higher MW oligomers are
also not expected to be removed by other
degradation processes under environmental
conditions because of limited water
solubility and limited partitioning to air.

HIGH: Based on the estimated BCF value for the lower MW components (MW<1,000); it is above the High

majority of isomers contain isopropyl substitution at the ortho- and para- position although meta isomers may be present to a lesser extent. The isopropyl groups are
typically distributed between the three phenyl rings however di- and tri- alkylation may be present on a single phenyl ring (for example, diisopropylphenyl diphenyl
phosphate (CASRN 58570-87-9)). Isomers expected to be present will be discussed in this report as appropriate when determining hazard designations. A description
of the test sample and isomer content is included in the data entries when available. However test substance composition was not consistently reported in the literature.
Chemical, fate, and toxicity data for components of the mixture represented by other CASRN were collected in the preparation of this AA and are listed below:

  Phenol, isopropylated, phosphate (3:1) (CASRN 68937-41-7)
  Triphenyl phosphate, TPP (CASRN 115-86-6)
  4-isopropylphenyl diphenyl phosphate (CASRN 55864-04-5)

  2-(l-Methylethyl)phenyldiphenyl ester phosphoric acid mixture w/triphenyl phosphate (CASRN 96300-97-9); (CASRN 66797-44-2)
  Di(isopropylphenyl)phenylphosphate (CASRN 28109-00-4)
  Di(2-isopropylphenyl)phenylphosphate (CASRN 69500-29-4)
  Tri(3-isopropylphenyl)phosphate (CASRN 72668-27-0)
  Tri(isopropylphenyl)phosphate (CASRN 26967-76-0)
  Tri(4-isopropylphenyl)phosphate (CASRN 2502-15-0)
  3,4-bis(l-methylethyl)phenyl diphenyl ester (CASRN 68155-51-1)
Estimated values using representative structures as indicated in the SMILES section of this assessment will be used to fill assessment data gaps. EPI v4.11 was used to
estimate physical/chemical and environmental fate values due to an absence of experimental data (Weil, 2001; ECHA, 2013b).

Endpoint(s) using analog values: Neurotoxicity
Analog Structure: Not applicable
Structural Alerts: Organophosphates; Neurotoxicity (EPA, 2012).
Risk Phrases: R48/22 - harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure if swallowed; R62 - possible risk of impaired fertility; R63 - possible risk
of harm to the unborn child;
R50/R53 - Very toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

There is currently no classification of "dangerous to the environment" for isopropylated triphenyl phosphate, itself. The commercial products containing isopropylated
triphenyl phosphate are generally classified based on the triphenyl phosphate content of the product (Environment Agency, 2009; ECHA, 2013b).
Hazard and Risk Assessments: An Environmental Risk Evaluation report for isopropylated triphenyl phosphate was published in August 2009. This substance is
part of EPA's HPV Challenge and is a registered substance with the European Chemicals Agency (Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, 2001; Environment Agency,
2009; ECHA, 2013a, 2013b).

                           No data were available on the absorption, distribution or metabolism of isopropylated triphenyl phosphates
                           in experimental animals or humans. Isopropylated phenyl phosphates, R3 (tri-(o-iso-propylphenyl
                           phosphate)) and Reolube HYD 46, were metabolized within 24 hours and detected in the bile of rabbits
                           following oral administration. Dermal absorption rates in human epidermis studies for IPTPP component
                           TPP were 0.67 and 0.9 ug/cm2/h for Reolube HYD 46 and Reofos 50, respectively. Absorption rates for

                           Steady state was achieved within one hour. Experimental data for the FM550 (a mixture made up of a sum
                           total of TBB and TBPH of 50% with other components identified as IPTPP and TPP) indicate that
                           absorption of TBB can occur in rats following oral exposure from gestation through lactation. At least one

Genotoxicity
LOW: Based on weight of evidence that includes negative results in gene mutation tests (in vitro and in vivo)
and no evidence of chromosomal aberrations (in vivo) in mice. One chromosomal aberration test in
hamsters resulted in positive results; however, based on weight of evidence, it seems the potential for
genotoxicity is Low. All studies were conducted using commercial mixtures of Reofos 50 and/or Reolube

Developmental Effects
HIGH: Estimated based on analogy to Kronitex TCP (1330-78-5). Reduced fetal body weight was reported
at 20 mg/kg-day (NOAEL not established; lowest dose tested) in a developmental study in rats orally
exposed to the analog. In addition, increased skeletal variations were reported at 750 mg/kg-day for the
analog. A LOAEL of 400 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 100 mg/kg-day) was reported following exposure to
Isopropylated triphenyl phosphate in a combined subchronic reproductive/developmental toxicity screening
test in rats. Effects included reduced pre- and post-natal survival; the final study results were not available
and the formulation of the test substance was not specified. Development effects were reported in a study in
pregnant Wistar rats administered a FM550 mixture  (sum total of TBB and TBPH approximately 50%
with additional  components identified as IPTPP and TPP) during gestation though lactation (GD8 -
PND21); developmental effects included early female puberty, weight gain, altered exploratory behavior,
and increased male left ventricle thickness (LOAEL = 1 mg/kg-day, NOAEL = 0.1 mg/kg-day). It is
uncertain which component or components of the FM 550 mixture is driving the reported developmental
effects. This substance has been assigned the risk phrase R63 - possible risk of harm to the unborn child.
There were no experimental data for the neurodevelopmental toxicity endpoint located; There is uncertain
concern for developmental neurotoxicity based on the potential for Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition in dams
that may result  in alterations of fetal neurodevelopment.

Neurotoxicity
HIGH: Based on analogy to ortho-cresyl phosphate; IPTPP has the potential to undergo a similar
mechanism of action as ortho-cresyl phosphate with the formation of an intermolecular intermediate that
effects the nervous system. Significant inhibition of brain ChE and NTE activity was observed in rats
following single oral gavage with 2,000 mg/kg of commercial mixture Reofos 54. Inhibition of ChE was also
seen in rats following dermal exposure with 500 and 1,000 mg/kg of commercial mixtures Kronitex 50 and
Reolube HYD, respectively. There is potential for neurotoxicity based on a structural alert for
organophosphates.

                 Other
Male rats (5/group) were administered
2,000 mg/kg Reofos 65 via single oral
gavage. No clinical signs of toxicity in
treated animals; positive control animals
gavaged with tri-o-cresyl phosphate
(TOCP) displayed lacrimation, tremors,
staining and had lowered body
temperatures. Significant inhibition of
brain cholinesterase and neuropathy
target esterase activity (35 and 50% less
than controls, respectively) in treated
animals. Serum cholinesterase activity in
treated animals was 87% less than that
of controls, compared to 94% less in
positive control (TOCP-treated) animals.
                                              Rats were exposed (head only) for 20

application of the commercial mixture Kronitex 50 to shaved rat skin. Changes to adrenal weights and
testicular weights were also reported following exposure to a commercial mixture of Kronitex 50

Acute Aquatic Toxicity
VERY HIGH: Based on experimental LC50 values of <0.3 mg/L in fish (conducted using commercial
mixture Phosflex [28-30% triphenyl phosphate, along with isomers of isopropylphenyl diphenyl phosphate,
isomers of diisopropylphenyl diphenyl phosphate and tri-substituted phenol phosphates]) and 0.25 mg/L in
daphnia (conducted using isopropyl phenyl diphenyl phosphate [composition not specified]). The reported
water solubility values from studies on commercial mixtures may not adequately represent all components
of the mixture. The tris(isopropylphenyl) phosphate isomers and other isopropyl substituted phenyl
phosphate ester components anticipated to be present in the commercial product are expected to have a
range of water solubility values. Therefore NES may be predicted for some components but not others.
Estimated data using the ECOSAR program predicted no effects at saturation (NES) for these organisms.
Two experimental studies were available for green algae which determined a 14-day NOEC and LOEC of
0.1 mg/L for Kronitex 200 and Phosflex 31P (major components triphenyl phosphate and 2-isopropylphenyl
diphenyl phosphate), respectively. Estimated data based on the monoisopropyl diphenyl phosphate predict
Very High hazard for algae; however, estimated data using other isomers predicted no effects at saturation
(NES). In addition, this substance has been assigned the risk phrase R50/R53 - Very toxic to aquatic
organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
VERY HIGH: Based on experimental LOECs < 0.1 mg/L in daphnia using commercial mixtures Kronitex
200 and Phosflex 31. The reported water solubility values from studies on commercial mixtures may not
adequately represent all components of the mixture. The tris(isopropylphenyl) phosphate isomers and other
isopropyl substituted phenyl phosphate ester components anticipated to be present in the commercial
product are expected to have a range of water solubility values. Therefore NES may be predicted for some
components but not others. Experimental data for fish and algae indicate a High hazard
designation.Estimated data using the ECOSAR program  and monoisopropyl class predict very high
hazard for fish, daphnia and algae; however, estimated data using other isomers predict no effects at
saturation (NES) for all organisms. In addition, this substance has been assigned the risk phrase R50/R53 -
Very toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Transport

Henry's Law Constant (atm-
m3/mole)
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, isopropylated triphenyl phosphate is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser
extent, sediment and water. Isopropylated triphenyl phosphate is expected to have low mobility in soil,
based on estimated Koc values of the components. Leaching through soil to groundwater may occur, though
it is not expected to be an important transport mechanism. Estimated volatilization half-lives indicate that
the components of this mixture will be non-volatile from surface water. Volatilization from dry surface is
also not expected based on its vapor pressure. In the atmosphere, isopropylated triphenyl phosphate is
expected to exist in both the vapor phase and particulate phase, based on its vapor pressure. Vapor phase
isopropylated triphenyl phosphate will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-
produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 0.7 days. Particulates may
be removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

Persistence
                           MODERATE: The environmental half-life of the isopropylated triphenyl phosphate is expected to be >16
                           days based on experiments using commercial mixtures of this alternative. Commercial isopropylated
                           triphenyl phosphate mixtures passed some ready biodegradable tests, but not all (17.9% degradation in 28
                           days using a closed bottle test, OECD 301D). Substantial degradation seen over extended time periods
                           indicates that the substance can be considered to be inherently biodegradable. Ultimate degradation is
                           expected based on studies with mixed microbial populations from sludge acclimated to the test substance in
                           a semi-continuous activated sludge system (SCAS), a modified Sturm method experiment and a die-away
                           test. Some degradation under anaerobic conditions of the triaryl phosphate isomers mixture is also expected
                           based on an anaerobic sediment study. The isopropylated triphenyl phosphate mixture components will
                           undergo hydrolysis under alkaline conditions, with estimated hydrolysis half-lives of <13 days at pH 9.  The
                           mixture is expected to be relatively stable to hydrolysis under neutral and acidic conditions, with estimated
                           half-lives of >2 years at pH 7. Isopropylated triphenyl phosphate mixture components are not expected to
                           be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight, since they do not absorb light at wavelengths >290 nm. The
                           atmospheric half-live of vapor-phase isopropylated triphenyl phosphate mixture components is estimated to
                           be <12 hours.

Bioaccumulation
HIGH: The bioaccumulation designation is based on the estimated BAF values for the isopropylated
triphenyl phosphate compounds; these values are >1,000. Measured BCF of <9,250, are available for a
commercial mixture containing isopropylated triphenyl phosphate. However, there is lower confidence in
the experimental BCF values because they are not consistent with the limited water solubility of this
chemical, and because the studies were performed on a mixture of unquantified components. Toxicokinetic
and fish metabolism studies determined that in some species, isopropylated phenyl phosphate is likely to be
bioavailable and undergo metabolism and elimination. Additional, lower BCF values were reported from
studies with the isomer isopropylphenyl diphenyl phosphate that would result in a Moderate designation.
The BAF was used preferentially as the removal  rate of isopropylated triphenyl phosphates in some species
of fish may not compete with the rate of uptake.

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment

Oral, Dermal or Inhaled
Melamine was rapidly absorbed, distributed to body fluids, cleared from plasma and excreted mainly via
urine in monkeys. In rats, melamine was distributed to the stomach, small intestine, cecum, and large
intestine, and found in blood and urine. Following a single oral exposure to pregnant rats, melamine was
detected in the maternal serum, breast milk, whole foetus, amniotic fluid, neonatal serum and neonatal
kidney. There is evidence that Melamine passed through the placenta, reached the fetus and
accumulated in the lactating mammary gland. Excretion occurred through the placenta of the fetus and
the kidneys of neonates and was later excreted into amniotic fluid. Melamine was transferred quickly to
fetal circulation in studies where placentas from mothers following caesarean section or normal delivery
were perfused with melamine. Melamine was readily cleared by the kidney in pigs administered
melamine intravenously; distribution may be limited to the extracellular fluid compartment. There was
no concern for binding in tissues. The half-life was reported as 4.04 hours. In monkeys, the half-life in
plasma was ~4.41 hours. Other data for the melamine indicate an elimination phase half-life of 2.7 hours
from plasma and 3 hours for urine.

Rhesus monkeys were orally
administered melamine at a single
dose of 1.4 mg/kg bw. Melamine was
rapidly absorbed, distributed to body
fluids, rapidly cleared from plasma and
excreted mainly via urine. The half-life
in plasma was -4.41 hours. There was
no correlation (concentration-time
curve in plasma and urine) between
melamine and cyanuric acid,
suggesting that melamine may not be
metabolized to cyanuric acid in vivo.
Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were
administered a single oral dose of
melamine (-6-1 mg in <2 ml water) on
GD 17. Melamine was also
administered to neonates at postnatal

Carcinogenicity
MODERATE: The carcinogenicity hazard potential for melamine is based on evidence that oral
exposure to melamine causes cancer in experimental animals. However, there is no evidence for
carcinogenicity to humans. In addition, OncoLogic estimated a marginal concern that is consistent with
DfE Moderate hazard criteria. Tumor formation in animals appeared to be due to mechanical irritation
by bladder calculi/stones. IARC classifies melamine as Group 3: not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to
humans.

10 rats fed 10,000 ppm of melamine
had bladder stones associated with the
development of benign papillomas.
Increased incidence of urinary bladder
stones (6/20 rats) was noted in the
10,000 ppm dose group, and was
associated with an increase in benign
papillomata. The NOAEL was
determined to be 1,000 ppm (67

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: Based on repeated oral exposure to melamine in rats. Bladder stones were reported at a
dose of 72 mg/kg-day in a 90-day dietary study in rats. In addition, decreased body weight gain and feed
consumption was reported. NOAELs of 167.5 and 140 mg/kg bw-day were reported in 7 day and 14 day
oral studies in rats, respectively. A NOAEL of 0.0005 mg/L was reported in a 4-month inhalation study
in rats based on no general toxic or gonadotoxic symptoms. Nephrotoxicity was noted in a 3-month oral
study in monkeys at 200 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 60 mg/kg-day). The formation of calculi, hyperactive
regeneration of renal tubular epithelium, tubular cell  debris, crystal deposition, bladder ulcers and
bladder stones, epithelial cell atypia, hyperplasia of the urinary bladder, clinical signs, changes in clinical
chemistry, and decreased body weight gain were reported in laboratory animals following repeated oral
doses > 100 mg/kg-day. In addition, there is estimated potential for systemic effects based on a structural
alert for amine groups and an estimated potential for  nephrotoxicity based on a structural alert for
amines.

                                               were observed at all dose levels. At
                                               18,000 ppm, stones occurred in diets
                                               with and without the addition of

                                    No clinical signs of toxicity. Melamine
                                    alone had no effect on growth, but co-

Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, melamine is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water. Melamine is
expected to have high mobility in the soil, based on its calculated K0c- Melamine will not volatilize from
moist soil and water surfaces based on its Henry's Law constant. Volatilization from dry surfaces is not
expected based on its vapor pressure. In the atmosphere, melamine is expected to exist almost entirely in
the particulate phase. Particulates may be removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

HIGH: Experimental data indicate melamine undergoes slow degradation under stringent guideline
conditions, although melamine is readily degraded in acclimated treatment systems. Pure culture studies
have shown biodegradation of melamine by enzymatic hydrolytic deamination in less than 10 days.
However, an original MITI test detected less than 30% degradation after 14 days and two separate
guideline OECD 302B studies observed no degradation after 28 days and 16% degradation after 20 days.
The environmental persistence half-life of melamine is therefore expected to be between 60 and 180 days
based on the guideline biodegradation studies, consistent with a High hazard designation. Melamine was
found to hydrolyze in strong alkaline and acidic solutions but hydrolysis is not expected under neutral
conditions. Melamine is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. The atmospheric
half-life of vapor-phase melamine is estimated to be 16 days.

Melamine hydrolysis proceeds
stepwise, with loss of one to three
amino groups; hydrolysis occurs by
reaction with mineral acid or inorganic
alkali; Hydrolysis products include
ammeline (CASRN 645-92-1),
ammelide (CASRN 645-93-2) and
cyanuric acid (CASRN 108-80-5)

                                                    Screening Level Toxicology Hazard Summary

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment
[(Quantitative) Structure Activity Relationships "(Q)SAR"].

d This hazard designation would be assigned MODERATE for a potential for lung overloading if >5% of the particles are in the respirable range as a result of dust forming
operations.

SMILES: C(COP(=O)(OCC)OCC)OP(=O)(OCC)OCC (Representative structure used for n=l estimations)
The polymeric components with MW > 1,000 oligomers (n>6) are not amenable to SMILES notation.
Synonyms: Phosphoric acid, triethyl ester, polymer with oxirane and phosphorus oxide (P2O5); Oxirane, polymer with phosphorus oxide (P2O5) and triethyl
phosphate; Phosphorus oxide (P2O5), polymer with oxirane and triethyl phosphate; Alkylphosphate oligomer; Oligomeric ethyl ethylene phosphate
Trade names: Fyrol PNX; Fyrol PNX-LE; Modified oligomeric ethyl ethylene phosphate; Exolit 550;
Chemical Considerations: This alternative is a polymer consisting of oligomers with MWs above and below 1,000 daltons according to publicly available patents
and commercial product literature. A typical phosphorus content of 19% was reported from these sources. Residual monomers, unreacted starting material (triethyl
phosphate) and low MW oligomers are expected to be present at a level requiring their assessment. The n>6, oligomers have a MW > 1,000 and are assessed using the
available polymer assessment literature. The n<5 oligomers are those with a MW <1,000 and are assessed with EPI v4.11 and ECOSAR vl. 11 estimates due to an
absence of publically available experimental physical/chemical, environmental fate and aquatic toxicity values (Hardy and Jaffe, 1983; Boethling and Nabholz, 1997;
Akzo Nobel and Wuestenenk, 2005).
Polymeric: Yes
Oligomeric: The oligomers are produced by reacting phosphorus pentoxide with triethyl phosphate to form a polyphosphate ester that is in turn reacted with ethylene
oxide. The repeating phosphate ester units, represented between the brackets where n = 2 to 20 units, although n=500 has been reported in one patent. Both linear and
cross-linked polymers may be formed during polymerization. The polymers may be terminated with either an ethyl or hydroxyl ethyl group (Hardy and Jaffe, 1983;
Akzo Nobel and Wuestenenk, 2005; Professional judgment).
Metabolites, Degradates and Transformation Products: None identified; although biodegradation or hydrolysis pathways may yield diethyl phosphate, ethyl
phosphate, ethanol, phosphate and ethylene glycol (Professional judgment)
Analog: None
Endpoint(s) using analog values: Not applicable
Analog Structure: Not applicable
Structural Alerts: Organophosphates, neurotoxicity (EPA, 2012).
Risk Phrases: Not classified by Annex VI Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (ESIS, 2012).
Hazard and Risk Assessments: None identified.

Transport
The environmental fate for the lower MW oligomers where n is 1-5, with MW<1,000 are based on the estimated
moderate water solubility and low vapor pressure indicating that the lower MW oligomers are anticipated to
partition predominantly to soil. The higher MW oligomers where n>6, with MW>1,000 are expected to have
negligible water solubility and negligible vapor pressure indicating that the higher MW oligomers are anticipated
to partition predominantly to soil and sediment. The estimated Henry's Law Constant of <10~8 atm-m3/mole
indicates that the lower MW and higher MW oligomers are not expected to volatilize from water to the
atmosphere. The estimated K0c  of >11,000 indicates that the lower MW and higher MW oligomers are not
anticipated to migrate through soil to groundwater and also have the potential to adsorb to sediment.

VERY HIGH: The persistence designation for this polymer is based on its higher MW components (MW >1,000).
The lower MW oligomers (MW <1,000; n < 5) of this polymer are expected to have lower persistence because of
their higher water solubility and increased bioavailability to microorganisms. The higher MW components are
expected to have higher persistence because of their low water solubility and poor bioavailability, indicating that
neither biodegradation nor hydrolysis are expected to be important environmental fate processes. This is
supported by experimental studies with the commercial product. In a ready test using the OECD guideline 301D,
0% biodegradation occurred after 28 days and 2% biodegradation was achieved after 140 days. In a
nonguideline study with limited details, slow hydrolysis was reported for the commercial product at normal
temperatures in acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions. Additionally, this polymer does not contain functional
groups that would be expected to absorb light at environmentally significant wavelengths. Experimental values
for commercial products and evaluation of the higher MW components of this polymer suggest an environmental
half-life of >180 days.

anticipated to be assimilated by microorganisms.
Therefore, biodegradation is not expected to be an
important removal process. The higher MW
oligomers are also not expected to be removed by
other degradation processes under environmental
conditions because of limited water solubility and
limited partitioning to air.

Trade Names: Exolit OP 560
Chemical Considerations: : This alternative is a phosphonate polyol with an average MW of 311 daltons and a typical phosphorus content of 10-13% according to
publicly available product literature Representative monomers and oligomers were assessed with EPI v4.11 and ECOSAR 1.11 estimates due to an absence of publicly
available experimental physical/chemical, environmental fate and aquatic toxicity values.

This alternative is a reactive flame retardant designed for use in the production of polyurethane foams. It is incorporated into a polymer backbone (i.e. polyurethane)
by chemically bonding with raw materials during the polymerization process. Although not all reactive flame retardants have reactive functional groups, all reactive
flame retardants are irreversibly incorporated into a polymer during manufacture to improve flame retardancy.  Once a reactive flame retardant is incorporated into a
polymer, it is unlikely to be released. Additive flame retardants, in contrast, are not reacted or chemically bonded with the manufactured product and have potential to
be released under certain conditions (Clariant, 2012;  Clariant, 2013).

MODERATE: Estimated to have uncertain potential for neurotoxic effects based on a structural alert for

compared to phosphate esters and for structures without good leaving groups. However, there were no
experimental data located, particularly for the most relevant route of exposure (inhalation). Due to the lack of

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
MODERATE: The estimated chronic aquatic toxicity value derived using an acute-to-chronic ratio (ACR) for
the phosphate esters class and was applied to experimental acute data for this chemical and indicated a
Moderate hazard. Estimated values (Esters class) for all oligomers were >10 mg/L. There is potential concern
based on estimates and the uncertainty due to the lack of experimental data; therefore a Moderate hazard
designation was assigned.

Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at steady
state, the polymer is anticipated to be found predominantly in soil, and to a lesser extent, water. The estimated
Henry's Law Constant of <10"8 atm-m3/mole based on an estimated high water solubility and low vapor
pressure indicates that the polymer is not expected to volatilize from water to the atmosphere. The estimated
Koc values in the range of 10-260 indicate that components of the polymer are anticipated to migrate through
soil to groundwater.

Persistence
                             MODERATE: Biodegradation is expected to be an important mechanism of removal. Phosphonates occur
                             naturally in the environment where many strains of bacteria have been isolated that metabolize phosphonates.
                             Although no experimental biodegradation studies were located, estimates using representative components of
                             the polymer indicate that the lower MW components (where n<2) are expected to have ultimate persistence
                             with a half-life >16-<60 days, equivalent to a Moderate hazard designation using a conservative approach. The
                             larger representative oligomers, outside the domain of the biodegradation estimation methods, are anticipated
                             to behave similarly based on the chemical properties. Hydrolysis was reported in a Safety Data Sheet for this
                             polymer. The available study details did not provide key information of the rate of hydrolysis and important
                             test conditions, such as pH. This polymeric mixture does not contain functional groups that would be expected
                             to absorb light at environmentally significant wavelengths; therefore degradation by direct photolysis is not
                             expected.

                                           In nature, phosphonates are found in

                                           animals. Bacterial metabolism of
                                           phosphonates with the C-P lyase
                                           enzyme plays a major role in
                                           biodegradation of phosphonates and
                                           the phosphorus cycle in the
                                           environment. The C-P lyase
                                           enzyme, converts alkylphosphonates
                                           to the corresponding alkane and

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment

reproductive toxicity in an oral 2-generation reproductive study or in a 4-week gavage study in rats at
doses up to 600 mg/kg-day (LOAELs were not established). Data using the analog 2-Propanol, 1,3-
dichloro-, phosphate reported a LOAEL of 5 mg/kg-day (NOAEL not established) for atrophy and
decreased secretory product of the seminal vesicle in an oral two-year combined chronic toxicity and
carcinogenicity assay in rats. A 12-week fertility study in rabbits using the analog 2-Propanol, 1,3-

97 or 302 mg/kg-day for females).
Increased number of runts on post-natal
day one and decrease in pup weights in
mid- and high-dose groups of both
generations. Decreased absolute spleen
weight in high dose FO pups and in all
treated Fl pups; decreased relative
spleen weight (high dose Fl pups),
decreased absolute brain weight but
increase in relative liver weights (all
treated Fl pups), decreased absolute
thymus weights (low and high dose Fl
pups).

Prenatal Development






























DATA
Pregnant rats (5/group) were orally
gavaged with 0, 100, 200, 400, 800, and
1,600 mg/kg-day Phosgard 2XC20
(CASRN 38051-10-4) on GD 6-19.
Uterine examinations were conducted on
GD20.
Maternal toxicity occurred at the three
highest doses. One rat at 800 mg/kg and
all rats at 1,600 mg/kg died between GD
7 and 9, the cause of death was not
determined. Clinical signs of toxicity in
dams included dry red matter around the
nose and forepaws (400 and 800 mg/kg-
day) and staining of the anogenital area
(800 mg/kg-day). Reduced maternal
body weight (800 mg/kg-day). No
biologically significant differences in the
mean numbers of viable fetuses, post
implantation loss, early or late
resorption, total implantations or corpora
lutea. A slight increase in mean post
implantation losses at 800 mg/kg-day
was similar to historical controls.
Maternal toxicity:
NOAEL: 400 mg/kg-day
LOAEL: 800 mg/kg-day (based on
clinical signs and increased mortality)
Fetal toxicity:

secondary source (no quantitative
data were shown). Adequate

size (four surviving dams)
prevents the identification of fetal
NOAEL/LOAEL values. In
addition, the only fetal effect
(marginal increase in
postimplantation loss) occurred at
a maternally toxic dose.

Level III Fugacity Model
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, phosphoric acid, P,P'-[2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-l,3-propanediyl] P,P,P',PMetrakis(2-
chloroethyl) ester, is expected to be found primarily in soil and sediment. The general partitioning of this
chemical is toward solid phases and out of water, with limited degradation in soil and sediment
predicted. It is not expected to dissociate at environmentally-relevant pH values. Based on measured and
estimated K0c values, it is expected to have negligible mobility in soil. Leaching through soil to
groundwater is not expected to be an important transport mechanism. Estimated volatilization half-lives
indicate that it will be non-volatile from surface water. Based on its estimated vapor pressure it is
expected to exist in the vapor and particulate phase in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase phosphoric acid,
P,P'-[2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-l,3-propanediyl] P,P,P',PMetrakis(2-chloroethyl) ester is degraded in the
atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals. Particulates will be removed
from air by wet or dry deposition.

Persistence
                              HIGH: The persistence hazard designation for Phosphoric acid, P,P'-[2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-l,3-
                              propanediyl] P,P,P',P'-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl) ester (V6) is based on guideline biodegradation studies.
                              There is evidence for biodegradation to occur, at rates resulting in a high hazard designation. 37%
                              removal was found in 28 days with an OECD 302C guideline study. Under aerobic conditions in ready
                              biodegradability test OECD 301B, 5% biodegradation occurred after 28 days. This compound is
                              relatively stable to hydrolysis, with experimental half-lives of >1 year at pH 4, pH 7, and pH 9. This
                              compound is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight, since it does not absorb light
                              at wavelengths >290 nm. It is expected to be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with
                              photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 0.14

SMILES: O=P(Oclccc(C)ccl)(Oc2ccc(C)cc2)Oc3ccc(C)cc3 (Representative structure for tricresyl phosphate)
O=P(Oclccc(C)ccl)(Oc2ccc(C)cc2)Oc3ccccc3 (Representative structure for dicresyl phenyl phosphate)
O=P(Oclcccccl)(Oc2ccccc2)Oc3ccccc3C (Representative structure for monocresyl diphenyl phosphate)
Synonyms: TCP; Phosphoric acid, tris(methylphenyl) ester; Tritolyl phosphate; Phosphoric acid, tritolyl ester; Tri(methylphenyl) phosphate
Chemical Considerations: The alternative, tricresyl phosphate, may contain a mixture of methylated triphenyl phosphate isomers with an unspecified amount of
methyl substitution. The composition will be dependent on the manufacturing, purification and processing of the compound. Mono-o-cresyl and di-o-cresyl isomers
have well documented toxicity concerns. Efforts are made to minimize the amount of ortho-isomer present in commercial products, to amounts typically less than
0.4% (Weiner and Jortner, 1999). Therefore, preparations will consist mainly of meta- and para-substituted isomers (HSDB, 2013d). The isomers and components
expected to be present will be discussed in this report as appropriate when determining hazard designations. Test substance composition was not consistently reported
in the literature however a description of the test sample and isomer content is included in the data entries when available. Chemical, fate, and toxicity data for
components of the mixture represented by other CASRN were collected in the preparation of this AA and are listed below:

Toxicokinetics
                             Available information indicates that all three isomers of tricresyl phosphate are well absorbed following oral
                             and dermal exposure. TCP is widely distributed in tissues with highest concentrations in adipose tissue,
                             liver, kidneys, intestine, and stomach. Tri-p-cresyl metabolites were identified in blood, urine, feces, and
                             tissues of the rats up to 72 hours following oral administration. Oxidation that occurred in the liver and
                             hydrolysis in the intestine resulted in urinary metabolites that included hydroxybenzoic acid, di-p-cresyl
                             phosphate, and p-cresyl p-carboxyphenyl phosphate. Major metabolites found in the bile were dip-cresyl
                             phosphate, p-cresyl p-carboxyphenyl phosphate, and the oxidized triesters di-p-cresyl p-carboxyphenyl
                             phosphate and p-cresyl di-p-carboxyphenyl phosphate. The main fecal compound was the parent compound
                             (tri-p-cresyl phosphate). Elimination occurs through urine, feces and expiration. No information was located
                             regarding  absorption, distribution, or excretion of inhaled tricresyl phosphate.

Absorption,
Distribution,
Metabolism &
Excretion
Oral, Dermal or Inhaled
Available information indicates that all
three isomers of tricresyl phosphate were
well absorbed following oral
administration to rats. Dermal application
of radiolabeled (14C)-tri-o-cresyl
phosphate to cats resulted in 28% and 20%
of the applied radioactivity being
recovered in urine and feces, respectively,
during 10 days post application; it was
stated that based on similarity of structure
and physical properties, other isomeric
tricresyl phosphate esters would likely
also be absorbed through the skin.
Following gavage administration of
radiolabeled (14C)-tri-p-cresyl phosphate
to rats, radioactivity was widely
distributed in the  tissues at 24 hours with
highest concentrations in adipose tissue,
liver, kidneys, intestine, and stomach. At
72 hours, total internal radioactivity was
only 25% that observed at 24 hours.

Reproductive Effects
HIGH: Based on a LOAEL of 7 mg/kg-day for ovarian interstitial cell hyperplasia (NOAEL = 4 mg/kg-day)
in female rats following a 2-year dietary exposure to tricresyl phosphate as a commercial mixture. A 13-
week oral (gavage) exposure to the same tricresyl phosphate mixture resulted in ovarian interstitial cell
vacuolization in both rats and mice at a dose of 50 mg/kg-day. Thirteen weeks of dietary exposure to the
tricresyl phosphate commercial mixture caused an increased incidence of interstitial cell hypertrophy in rats
at 55 mg/kg-day, and ovarian interstitial cell vacuolization in mice at 530 mg/kg-day.
Decreased sperm motility was reported in Fl mice that consumed a commercial tricresyl phosphate mixture
from the diet at an estimated dose of 62.5 mg/kg-day and whose parents had been exposed at the same
estimated dose during mating, gestation, and lactation in a continuous breeding dietary study; cross-over
matings at an estimated dose of 250 mg/kg-day revealed decreased numbers of live pups per litter from
matings of treated females to control males and treated males to control females. In a 1-generation study of
rats, abnormal sperm morphology was also noted following gavage dosing of commercial tricresyl phosphate
at 100 mg/kg-day).
Decreased fertility was reported in rats following gavage administration of a commercial diphenyl cresyl
phosphate mixture at 300 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 60 mg/kg-day) during premating, mating, gestation, and
parturition. Decreased testicular and epididymal weights and increased ovarian weights were observed in
rats administered a hydraulic fluid (tricresyl phosphate being the major component) at 400 mg/kg-day from
7 days prior to breeding and throughout 63 days of continuous breeding and 28 days post breeding.

Tricresyl phosphate doses were
estimated for the FO parental mice;
the LOAEL of 62.5 mg/kg bw-day
for decreased sperm motility in Fl
males assumes that the dose to the
growing and mating Fl males was the
same as that of their parents. EPAHC,
2010 reported a LOAEL of 62.5
mg/kg bw-day for significantly
decreased number of litters/pair in the
continuous breeding phase; however,
the study report noted significantly
"increased" number of litters/pair
(5.06 versus 4.87 in controls). The
LOAEL for the continuous breeding
phase should be the mid-dose level
(124 mg/kg bw-day) based on
significantly increased numbers of
dead pups in the 4th and 5th litters
and decreased live pup body weight;
a NOAEL of 62.5 mg/kg bw-day was
identified for the continuous breeding
phase of the study.

receiving commercial tricresyl phosphate from the diet at an estimated dose of 124 mg/kg-day (NOAEL =
62.5 mg/kg-day) in a continuous breeding protocol. Decreases in litter size and postnatal pup survival were
also reported in a one-generation reproductive toxicity study of rats gavaged at 200 mg/kg-day (lowest dose
tested) during premating and mating (males and females) and gestation and lactation (females).
There were no data located for the developmental neurotoxicity endpoint.

     Prenatal Development
Continuous breeding protocol using
dietary exposure of CD-I mice (40
breeding pairs in control group, 20
breeding pairs in treatment group)
Test substance concentrations: 0, 0.05,
0.1, and 0.2% tricresyl phosphate by
weight (continuous breeding phase doses
estimated to have been 0, 62.5, 124, and
250 mg/kg-day, respectively); control and
0.2% dose level used for cross-over
mating phase
Test substance treatment period:
Continuous breeding phase included 98
days (7 days prior to breeding); cross-over
mating phase  included 7 days prior to
breeding; an additional 7 days of
cohabitation treatment (males and
females) and throughout gestation
(females); last Fl litter of mice continued
on treatment of their parents until sexual
maturity (postpartum day 74), throughout
a 1-week cohabitation period with mice of
the same dose group, and necropsied 3
weeks later for assessment of litters and
treatment-related gross and
histopathological effects
Continuous breeding phase results:
Significantly decreased fertility at 124 and
250 mg/kg bw-day
Cross-over mating phase results:
Significantly decreased numbers of live
pups per litter in treated male X control
female and treated female  X control male
groups; significantly decreased proportion
Chapinetal., 1988
Well-designed study that followed a
continuous breeding protocol; test
substance: Tricresyl phosphate
(CASRN 1330-78-5); composed of
74.9% tricresyl phosphate (consisting
of mixed isomers and 20.6% pure m-
cresyl, 3.9% pure para-cresyl, and
<0.1% pure o-cresyl isomers), with
the remainder composed of dicresyl
phenyl and di- and tricresylxylyl
phosphates; Tricresyl phosphate
doses were estimated for the FO
parental mice; the LOAEL of 62.5
mg/kg bw-day for decreased sperm
motility in Fl males assumes that the
dose to the growing and mating Fl
males was the same as that of their
parents.  EPAHC, 2010 reported a
LOAEL of 62.5 mg/kg bw-day for
significantly decreased number of
litters/pair in the continuous breeding
phase; however, the study report
noted significantly "increased"
number of litters/pair (5.06 versus
4.87 in controls). The LOAEL for the
continuous breeding phase should be
the mid-dose level (124 mg/kg bw-
day) based on significantly increased
numbers of dead pups in the 4th and

Neurotoxicity
MODERATE: Multifocal axonal degeneration was observed in spinal nerve preparations from female mice
administered commercial tricresyl phosphate by gavage once per day, 5 days/week for 13 weeks at 100
mg/kg-day; at a dose level of 200 mg/kg-day, male and female rats exhibited decreased grip strength and
degenerative effects in spinal cord and sciatic nerve preparations. NOAELs of 100 and 50 mg/kg-day were
identified for neurotoxicity of males and females, respectively. Similar effects were reported following a 13-
week dietary study with the same commercial product in mice and rats, albeit at dietary concentrations
resulting in higher estimated oral doses (>750 mg/kg-day for rats and >380 mg/kg-day for mice)
Tri-o-cresyl phosphate and other organophosphorus compounds cause a delayed neuropathy that has been
termed organophosphate-induced delayed neurotoxicity (OPIDN). Neurological symptoms are typically
delayed by 1-3 weeks after initial exposure and begin to be expressed as ataxia and progressive development
of paralysis of hind limbs; partial recovery may follow. Chickens and cats are particularly sensitive to
organophosphate-induced OPIDN.
Tri-o-cresyl phosphate occurs as a contaminant in commercial tricresyl phosphate mixtures, but usually in
concentrations of <1%.

Repeated Dose Effects
HIGH: In addition to the neurotoxicity effects described above, increased incidence of liver lesions was
reported in a 2-year dietary study in mice fed commercial tricresyl phosphate at a dose of 13 mg/kg bw-day
(NOAEL = 7 mg/kg bw-day); cytoplasmic vacuolization of the adrenal cortex and ovarian interstitial cell
hypertrophy were noted at 26 mg/kg bw-day (NOAEL = 13 mg/kg bw-day). Similar effects were reported
following a 13-week dietary study with the same commercial product in mice and rats at 50 mg/kg bw-day
(lowest dose tested). Furthermore, TCP is immunotoxic in the range of high hazard (see immunotoxicity
section).

Immunotoxicity
Decreased immune response to tetanus antigen significantly reduced at low doses in rats fed technical-grade
tricresyl phosphate for 6 weeks. Significant changes in gross immune organ weights and histology were
reported at high doses. Significantly decreased thymus weight was noted in male and female mice and rats
administered commercial tricresyl phosphate by repeated gavage for 16 days at doses > 1450 mg/kg-day.
Other effects seen at 2900 mg/kg bw-day included necrosis of mandibular lymph nodes and spleen and
lymphoid depletion in spleen and/or thymus.

After 6 weeks of treatment, doses of 6
mg/kg bw-day and higher resulted in
reduced antibody titer to tetanus toxoid

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
HIGH: Based on estimated chronic aquatic toxicity values. An estimated chronic aquatic toxicity value
derived using an acute-to-chronic ratio (ACR) for the phosphate esters class and was applied to the available
experimental acute data for this chemical and indicated a High hazard. Estimated chronic aquatic toxicity
values < 0.1 mg/L in fish, daphnia, and algae (Esters class) also indicated a High hazard concern.
Experimental studies for Daphnia magna and algae indicated a High hazard designation with toxicity values
within the 0.1 - 1 mg/L range. No experimental chronic studies were located for fish.
Fish ChV
Freshwater fish ChV = 0.01 mg/L
(Estimated)
Professional judgment
An ACR of 24 was derived for the
phosphate ester class based on
experimental data for Tris (p-t-
butylphenyl) phosphate (TBPP).

The acute-to-chronic ratio was
applied to available experimental
acute fish data for Phosphoric acid,
tris(methylphenyl) ester (CASRN
1330-78-5) (ChV = 0.26 mg/L /24 =

Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, tricresyl phosphate is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, sediment.
Tricresyl phosphate is expected to have negligible to moderate mobility in soil based on both measured and
estimated K0c values. Leaching of tricresyl phosphate through soil to groundwater is not expected to be an
important transport mechanism. There is slight potential for volatilization from moist soil surfaces based
upon the measured Henry's Law constant; however adsorption to soil is expected to attenuate this process.
In the atmosphere, tricresyl phosphate is expected to exist in the vapor and particulate phase. Vapor phase
tricresyl phosphate will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced
hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 0.8 days. Particulate phase tricresyl
phosphate will be removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

                            MODERATE: Based on nonguideline studies that have demonstrated primary and ultimate biodegradation
                            of tricresylphosphate and related components under aerobic conditions. There is evidence of biodegradation
                            resulting in a half-life less than 60 days but greater than 16 days. Both CASRN 563-04-2 and 26444-49-5 did
                            not pass ready biodegradability OECD 301C tests, however some degradation, <43.1%, was observed after
                            28 days. Other biodegradation tests, including OECD 302A, 302C, CO2 Evolution and a Die Away test
                            indicated some degradation by this pathway. Experimental data for the direct photolysis of CASRN 26444-
                            49-5 reported a half-life of 4.86 years; therefore, direct photolysis of tricresyl phosphate is not expected to be
                            an important fate process. Experimental half-lives of 27 to 87 minutes for tricresyl phosphate and 2
                            individual isomers, demonstrate removal by hydrolysis under alkaline conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND BIOMONITORING
Environmental Monitoring
Ecological Biomonitoring
Human Biomonitoring
Tricresyl phosphate has been detected in areas of Japan, Canada, US, UK, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and
Austria in river water, drinking water, rain water and snow, sediments, sea sediment and soil samples. Cresyl
diphenyl phosphate was detected in coastal marine sediments in the UK. Tricresyl phosphate has been detected in
atmospheric samples, indoor air of theaters, offices, electronic stores, an electronics dismantling facility and
airplanes. It has also been detected in fly ash and stack emissions, and various effluents, in dust samples/wipe
samples from automobile interiors, aircraft and vegetation samples. In one study, tricresyl phosphate isomers, m-
TCP and o-TCP were detected in atmospheric samples, while the para isomer was scarcely detected (Takimoto et
al., 1999; OECD-SIDS, 2002; Bacaloni et al, 2008; Takigami et al., 2009; Ibbotson and Ibhadon, 2010; Solbu et
al., 2011; HSDB, 2013d; Salamovaetal., 2014).
Tricresyl phosphate has been detected in fish (HSDB, 2013d).
Human biomonitoring found small amounts of metabolites of tri-m- and tri-p cresyl phosphates in the urine of
aircraft crews. Metabolites of tri-o-cresyl phosphates were not detected above the LOD of the study (Schindler et
al., 2013).

Triphenyl phosphate is hydrolyzed in the liver to produce diphenyl phosphate as the primary
metabolite. TPP can be detected in human breast milk. Experimental data for the FM550 (a
mixture made up of a sum total of TBB and TBPH of 50% with additional components identified as
IPTPP and TPP) indicate that absorption of at least one component (TBB) can occur in rats
following oral exposure from gestation through lactation. TBB was detected in tissues of exposed
dams and the pups following exposure to FM550.

Pregnant rats were administered 0, 0. 1
or 1 mg/kg-day of FM550 in the diet
across gestation and through lactation
(GD8-PND21)
FM550 components including TBPH
was detected in adipose, liver, and
muscle tissues in Dams at PND 2 1 with
the highest concentration in the adipose
tissue (768 ng/g w.w. in high dose,
29.6 ng/g w.w. in low dose, < 7.0 ng/g
w.w. in controls). The primary
metabolite of TBB (TBB A) was also
detected in liver tissue of dams on
PND 21.
TBB was detected in pooled PND21
pup adipose tissue. TBB was not
detected in pooled pup adipose tissue
by PND220.
Triphenyl phosphate is hydrolyzed in

DATA QUALITY
The actual exposure to TPP is
unknown; it is not known if TPP
or other substances found in the
household dust caused or
contributed to the reported
toxicity.
LOW: Based on a rat oral reproductive/developmental NOAEL = 690 mg/kg-day for fetal effects
(highest dose tested). Developmental effects were reported in a study in pregnant Wistar rats
administered the analog mixture FM550 (sum total of TBB and TBPH approximately 50%) during
gestation though lactation (GD8 - PND21); developmental effects included early female puberty,
weight gain, altered exploratory behavior, and increased male left ventricle thickness (LOAEL = 1
mg/kg-day, NOAEL = 0.1 mg/kg-day). It is uncertain which component or components of the FM
550 mixture is driving the reported developmental effects. While the FM 550 mixture data indicates
a High hazard potential, it may be the other components driving the reported toxicity.
There were no data located for the developmental neurotoxicity endpoint. Decreased cholinesterase
activity in pregnant lab animals has been shown to have a negative impact on fetal brain
development. As a result, there is uncertain potential for developmental neurotoxicity for this
substance.

Endocrine Activity
Triphenyl phosphate was found to be inactive in estrogen-receptor binding assays; however, it was
shown to be a moderate androgen-receptor (AR) binder in a competitive binding assay. Triphenyl
phosphate was shown to inhibit human AR in the absence of agonist and to inhibit testosterone-
induced AR activity. In addition, Triphenyl phosphate significantly impaired reproduction in
zebrafish and was correlated with decreased sperm count and altered hormone levels in men.
Increased serum thyroxine (T4) levels were reported in the serum of dams following oral
administration to FM550 (mixture of 50% sum total of TBB and TBPH with additional components
identified as IPTPP and TPP). It is unclear which component or components of the mixture are
driving the endocrine activity effects.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Transport
(Henry's Law Constant (atm-m3/mole)
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that
at steady state, TPP is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water. Triphenyl
phosphate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil, based on measured Koc values in silty clay,
loamy sand and silt loam. Leaching through soil to groundwater may occur, though it is not
expected to be an important transport mechanism. Triphenyl phosphate may volatilize from moist
soil and water surfaces based on its Henry's Law constant. Volatilization from dry surface is not
expected based on its vapor pressure. In the atmosphere, triphenyl phosphate is expected to exist in
both the vapor phase and particulate phase. Particulates may be removed from air by wet or dry
deposition.

Persistence
                                   LOW: The persistence of triphenyl phosphate is based on experimental data. Under aerobic
                                   conditions in a Japanese MITI ready biodegradability test (OECD Test Guidelines (TG) 301C),
                                   90% biodegradation of triphenyl phosphate occurred after 28 days, and 93.8% triphenyl phosphate
                                   removal as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) occurred over 20 days in an OECD 303A guideline
                                   study. TPP does not meet the criteria for very low persistence because the percent removal in the
                                   criteria does not occur within a 10-day window. In loamy sand, a half-life of 37 days was observed
                                   under aerobic conditions. Triphenyl phosphate was determined to be inherently biodegradable in a
                                   river die-away test, after degrading 100% over 3 days in river water. Triphenyl phosphate may
                                   degrade under anaerobic conditions, with primary degradation of 31.1% after 3 days (89.7% after
                                   40 days) in river sediment. However, removal under anaerobic conditions is not anticipated to be an
                                   important fate process. Triphenyl phosphate will undergo hydrolysis under alkaline conditions,
                                   with half-lives of 3 days at pH 9; it is relatively stable to hydrolysis under neutral and acidic
                                   conditions, with half-lives of 28 days at pH 5 and 19 days at pH 7. Triphenyl phosphate is not
                                   expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by  sunlight, since it does not absorb light at
                                   wavelengths >290 nm. The atmospheric half-live  of vapor-phase triphenyl phosphate is estimated to
                                   be 12 hours.

Triphenyl phosphate has been detected in drinking water in samples collected by the USGS. It has also
been detected in household dust in the United States (at concentrations of (<173-1,798,100 ng/g),
Pakistan, New Zealand, Belgium, Spain and Japan. Triphenyl phosphate has been detected in sediment
from Taihu Lake in China at concentrations ranging from 0.41-5.54 (ig/kg and in sediment in the U.S. It
has also been detected in river water, seawater, rainwater, snow, wastewater effluent, ambient air, and
indoor air (OECD-SIDS, 2002; Stiles et al, 2008; Stapleton et al., 2009; Berts, 2010; Ali et al., 2012; Cao
et al., 2012; van der Veen and de Boer, 2012; HSDB, 2013; Salamova et al., 2014).
Triphenyl phosphate has been detected in fish tissues. It has also been detected in the blubber of
bottlenose dolphins collected from the Gulf of Mexico (Kuehl and Haebler, 1995; Campone et al., 2010).
Triphenyl phosphate was detected in human milk, adipose tissue and human plasma. This chemical was
not included in the NHANES biomonitoring report (Shah et al., 2006; ECHA, 2012; CDC, 2013).

Toxicokinetics
                                   TDCPP is readily absorbed (100% assumed) by the oral route of exposure. Absorption through
                                   human skin membranes in vitro was calculated to be 6.0 -15.4% of the applied dose. TDCPP is
                                   distributed primarily to the liver, kidney and lung following oral, dermal, and intravenous
                                   exposure. Once in the tissues, the parent compound and metabolites are rapidly excreted. TDCPP is
                                   quickly and extensively metabolized by oxidation to its metabolite, bis (l,3-dichloro-2-propyl)
                                   phosphate (BDCP). Phase I metabolites included BDCPP, bis(l,3-dichloro-2-propyl) l-chloro-2-
                                   propanol phosphate, l,3-dichloro-2-propyl, l-chloro-2-propanol phosphate, a product of two
                                   oxidative dechlorination reactions, and bis(l,3-dichloro-2-propyl),l-carboxy-3-cloro-2-propyl
                                   phosphate. A substitution of a chlorine atom by glutathione was the only phase II metabolite
                                   detected in this study. Excretion occurred primarily via the urine (50%), but also through feces and
                                   expired air. No accumulation in the body is expected due to rapid elimination of the compound.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were
administered an unspecified dose
of 14C-TDCPP by intravenous jugular
vein catheters; TDCPP was quickly
distributed from plasma to tissues.
Administered TDCPP was detected in
all tissues after 5 and 30 minutes, but
was only detected in fat after 8 hours.
TDCPP could not be detected in any
tissues 24 hours after administration;
In the tissues, the highest
concentration of TDCPP was in the
kidney (6.75 nmoles/g), liver (2.75
nmoles/g), small intestine (1.98
nmoles/g), and blood (1.84
nmoles/g);
In rats, BDCP is reported to be the
major metabolite of TDCPP;
Following intravenous administration
of TDCPP, only 19% could be
recovered in the body within a half
hour; 82% of TDCPP remained in the
body, while <0.1% was detected in
the urine and feces after 30 minutes.
The primary route of elimination of
TDCPP is due to its metabolism to
BDCP which is mainly excreted in
the urine and feces.

CD1 mice (4-8 males/group);
Concentrations: 0, 0.05, 0.17, and 0.5
mL/kg; using the specific gravity of
1.52, the doses were 0, 76, 260, or
760 mg/kg. The highest dose was the
maximum tolerated dose. Negative
control was DMSO. Exposure
duration, frequency: By oral gavage
in once or daily on 5 consecutive
days. Mice were sacrificed at 6, 24,
and 48 hours after single dose or 6
hours after the last of 5 doses.
Between 233 and 400 cells were
scored. Triethylenemelamine was
used as the positive control.
No evidence of increased frequency
of chromosomal aberrations with
TDCPP. Positive control produced
expected large increase in
micronucleated polychromatic
erythrocytes.
TDCPP administered to mice (route
unspecified) at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg
did not induce micronuclei in bone

LOW: Based on a weight of evidence. TDCPP did not produce neurotoxicity in acute, chronic or
developmental studies in rats or in acute and subchronic studies in hens. TDCPP induced oxidative
stress in undifferentiated PC12 cells, but did not impair cell growth or viability. However, there
may be some potential for neurotoxicity based on a structural alert for organophosphates.

body weight during the latter part of
the study, but no overt signs of
neurotoxicity and no
histopathological effects in the
nervous tissues. Positive control hens
exhibited consistently lower body
weight gain, clinical signs of toxicity
(locomotor impairment and ataxia)
that became more severe with time.
Histopathology results were not
reported for the positive control.
NOAEL: Not established
LOAEL: Not established
Undifferentiated PC 12 cells exposed
to TDCPP for 24 hours; rapid mitotic

Endocrine Activity
TDCPP in house dust has been correlated with altered levels of hormones related to fertility and
thyroid function in men. TDCPP inhibited the luciferase expression induced by dihydrotestosterone
in a reporter-gene assay using cultured cells and induced delays in remethylation of the zygotic
genome (mechanism that may be associated with enhanced developmental toxicity) in zebrafish. In
addition, TDCPP disrupted steroidogenic pathways and metabolism of estrogen in human cell lines
(H2925R and WVLN) and in zebrafish. A 2-year combined chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity
assay in rats resulted in changes of the parathyroid, testes, and epididymis; it is unclear if these
observed changes may be an indication of endocrine activity.
                                                     Hormone levels and semen quality
                                                     were assessed in men living in homes

                                                     increase in TDCPP in dust was
                                                     associated with a 17% increase in
                                                     prolactin and a 3% decline in free

Human cell lines (H2925R and
WVLN cells) were tested for sex
hormone synthesis and steroidogenic
gene transcription (H295R) and
estrogen receptor binding activity
(MVLN); zebrafish (Danio rerio)
were tested for sex hormone levels
and gene transcriptions.
Increased 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and
testosterone (T) levels, transcription
of steroidogenic genes were
upregulated; two sulfotransferase
genes downregulated (H295R cells);
there was no estrogen receptor
agonist activity, while there was
antagonist inhibiting binding of E2 to
estrogen receptor (MVLN cells);
Increased plasma T and E2
concentrations in zebrafish exposed
to TDCPP for 14 days; decreased
testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone
and increased E2 in male zebrafish;
significant upregulation of CYP17
and CYP19 transcription (males and
females); vitellogenin (VTG)l gene
was down-regulated in female fish
and up-regulated in male fish.

Study predates the guideline for
immunotoxicity; There is some
uncertainty as to the test material
which was reported as Fyrol FR2
but mis-identified by the authors
as tris(2,3-dichloropropyl)
phosphate; test substance purity
reported as  >95%; The study
methods differed from the
guideline in the  short exposure
period (4 rather than 28 days),
parenteral administration (rather
than oral or inhalation route),
measurement of serum
immunoglobulin in non-
immunized rather than
immunized mice, and the
omission of some tests
(enumeration of immunological
cell subpopulations, test for NK-
cell activity).

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
HIGH: Based on a measured 21-day NOEC of 0.5 mg/L (LOEC = 1.0 mg/L) in daphnid for reduced
reproduction; the NOEC and LOEC for reduced growth was 1.0 mg/L and 2.0 mg/L, respectively.
Experimental data for algae indicate a Moderate hazard concern. No experimental data were
located for fish. ECOSAR estimates and an estimated ChV using an Acute-to-Chronic Ratio (ACR)
derived for the phosphate ester class that was applied to experimental acute data for this chemical
predicts a HIGH concern for fish.

Level III Fugacity Model
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that
at steady state, TDCPP is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, sediment and
water. It is not expected to dissociate at environmentally-relevant pH values. TDCPP is expected to
have moderate mobility in soil, based on measured Koc values obtained from studies performed in
clay loam, loamy sand and clay samples. Leaching through soil to groundwater may occur, though
it is not expected to be an important transport mechanism. Estimated volatilization half-lives
indicate that it will be non-volatile from surface water. Based on the measured vapor pressure,
TDCPP is expected to exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the atmosphere. Particulates
will be removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

Persistence
                                   HIGH: The persistence for TDCPP is based on experimental guideline biodegradation studies.
                                   There is evidence of TDCPP biodegradation resulting in a half-life greater than 60 days. A river die
                                   away test found 22% removal of TDCPP in 14 days and a non-guideline soil test reported 6%
                                   removal in 17 weeks with radiolabeled TDCPP. In ready biodegradability tests, OECD TG 301B,
                                   301C and 301D, 0 to <1% biodegradation of TDCPP occurred after 28 days. Additionally, no
                                   evidence of TDCPP removal was found in 28 days in an OECD 302C guideline study. TDCPP will
                                   undergo hydrolysis under alkaline conditions, with half-lives of 15 days measured at pH 9 and
                                   50°C. TDCPP is relatively stable to hydrolysis under neutral and acidic conditions, a half-life of >1
                                   year was found under pH 4 and pH 7 conditions. TDCPP is not expected to be susceptible to direct
                                   photolysis by sunlight, since it does not absorb light at wavelengths >290 nm.

TDCPP has been detected in water samples from surface water samples from 139 streams obtained in 30
states across the continental United States from 1999-2000. It has also been detected in groundwater
samples from 47 sites in 18 different states as part of a national reconnaissance program of water quality
in the United States. TDCPP was found in several streams in Johnson County, Kansas from 2002-2003,
public drinking water in the US and Puerto Rico, St. Vrain Creek, Colorado, the Netherlands Rhine delta,
Freshwater Streams in Hessen/Germany, Ruhr river in Germany, German Bight (an area heavily
influenced by the Elbe estuary plume) in the North Sea, ground water in UK, Arctic Ocean, Sea of Japan,
Northern Pacific Ocean, East Indian Archipelago, Philippine Sea, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, German
Bight, North Sea, Oslo, Norway, Birkenes, Southern Norway (remote), Ny Alesund, Norwegian Arctic
(remote), Northern Finland (remote), three volcanic lakes located in Central Italy, the Tiber River, Yodo

samples from ambient air of Kitakyushu, Japan, indoor air environments in Tokyo, Japan, house dust in
Spain, indoor air or dust from Zurich, Sweden, New Zealand, Germany and the US. TDCPP has been
detected in precipitation samples from snow and rain in middle Germany and snow from northern
Sweden. TDCPP has been detected in sediment samples from Taihu Lake, China, the rivers Danube,
Neckar and Rhine, the Elbe river and Ruhr river (Bacaloni et al., 2007, 2008; EU, 2008; Regnery and
Puettmann, 2008; Kanazawa et al., 2010; Meeker and Stapleton, 2010; ATSDR, 2012; Bollmann et al.,
2012; Rodil et al., 2012; Salamova et al., 2014).
TDCPP has been detected in fish from the Yamato river, pine needles from nine sites in the Sierra Nevada
foothills and herring gull eggs from the Channel-Shelter Island colony in Lake Huron (Okumura, 1994;
Aston et al., 1996; EU, 2008; Chen et al., 201 1; Chen et al., 2012).
In Canada, TDCPP was detected in human adipose tissue and it has been identified in human seminal
plasma. This chemical was not included in the NHANES biomonitoring report (Hudec et al., 1981; LeBel
and Williams, 1986; EU, 2008; CDC, 2009; ATSDR, 2012).

Chemical Considerations: CASRN 13674-84-5 is a discrete organic chemical with a MW below 1,000. EPI v4.11 was used to estimate physical/chemical and
environmental fate values in the absence of experimental data. Measured values from experimental studies were incorporated into the estimations. TCPP is produced
by the reaction of phosphorus oxy chloride and propylene oxide. The most abundant isomer in commercial products is the branched isomer, 2-Propanol, 1-chloro-,
phosphate (3:1) (CASRN 13674-84-5) however other isomers are expected to be present and will be discussed in this report as appropriate when determining hazard
designations. Chemical, fate, and toxicity data for the isomers represented by other CASRN were collected in the preparation of this AA and are listed below:

  1-Propanol, 2-chloro-, 1,1\1"-phosphate (3:1) (CASRN 6145-73-9);
  Phosphoric acid, bis(2-chloro-l-methylethyl) 2-chloropropyl ester (CASRN 76025-08-6) and
  Phosphoric acid, 2-chloro-1-methylethyl bis(2-chloropropyl) ester (CASRN 76649-15-5) (NAS, 2000).

Toxicokinetics
TCPP is readily absorbed. Absorption through human skin membranes in vitro was calculated to be 2.3-
32.8% of the applied dose. Twelve hours post- oral exposure, TCPP was detected in the brain, heart,
muscle, and testes, more so in adipose tissue, spleen, and lungs, and in the highest amounts in the liver
and kidney. TCPP is quickly and extensively metabolized with main metabolites being O,O-[bis(l-chloro-
2-propyl)]-O-(2-propionic acid) phosphate, bis(l-chloro-2-propyl) monophosphoric acid and l-chloro-2-
propanol. TCPP was metabolized to a hydroxylated metabolite by chlorine substitution in liver S9
faction and liver slices followed by glucuronic acid conjugation. In incubation experiments, Phase I
metabolites included the oxidative dechlorination products of TCPP and the hydrolysis product bis(l-
chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCPP), bis(l-chloro-2-propyl) l-hydroxy-2-propyl phosphate, bis(l-chloro-
2-propyl) 1-carboxy -2-propyl phosphate and l-chloro-2-propyl,l-hydroxy- 2-propyl phosphate; there
were no phase II metabolites detected. BCPP was the most abundant metabolite. Once the tissues, the
parent compound and metabolites are rapidly excreted. Excretion occurred primarily via the urine, but
also in the feces and bile.
Dermal Absorption in vitro
Concentrations of TCPP tested over an
8 hour exposure period were 2.049,
99.96, or 997.33 (ig/cm2. The mean
penetration of TCPP into the receptor
fluid after 24 hours was 0.39, 9.64 and
17.75 (ig/cm2, for the low, mid and
high dose,  respectively. At 0.002
mg/cm2, the total absorption ranged
from 17 % to 32.8%, with a mean total
absorption of 22.7 %. At the mid dose
of 0.1 mg/cm2, the total absorption
ranged from 9.8% to 18.2%, with the
mean total absorption of 13.6%. At 1
mg/cm2, the total absorption ranged
from 2.3% to 5.2%, with a mean total
absorption of 3.7%.
                                               The actual concentrations of TCPP

of14C-labeledTCPP
Maximum concentration in tissues: 5.7
hours. Low tissue/blood ratios were
recorded in the brain, heart, muscle,
and testes. Moderate ratios were
obtained in adipose tissue, the spleen,
and lung; high ratios were recorded in
the liver and kidneys. The highest
amounts of radioactivity in the liver
and kidney were detected during the
first 12 hours after dosing. Seven days
after dosing, the highest amount of
radioactivity was found in the liver.
The longest elimination half-lives from
any tissue corresponded to adipose
tissue (103 hours for TCPP).

Neurotoxicity
MODERATE: Based on the weight of evidence from a structural alert for organophosphates and an in
vitro study. In an in vitro study using undifferentiated and differentiating PC12 cells, TCPP promoted
differentiation of the cholinergic phenotype of PC12 cells. There were no effects on cholinesterase
activity in a dietary study in rats fed TDCPP and no evidence of delayed neurotoxicity in one study of
hens orally treated with TCPP.

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: Based on reported morphological changes in the kidney and thyroid reported in rats fed
the Fyrol PCF mixture (tris (2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate [~70%] and 2-chloropropanol phosphate [~
23%]) in the diet for 90 days at doses of 481 mg/kg-day and 570 mg/kg-day in males and females,
respectively. Decreased body weight gain and food consumption was reported in rats fed Fyrol PCF for
14 days. Also, rats exposed to TCPP in the diet for 28 days reported increased mortality in females at a
dose of 1,000 mg/kg-day; the NOAEL for this study was identified as 100 mg/kg-day which falls within
the Moderate hazard criteria range. Criteria values are tripled for chemicals evaluated in 28-day studies.
There is uncertainty about where effects may occur given that the identified NOAEL (100 mg/kg-day)
and LOAEL (1,000 mg/kg-day) bridges the Moderate (30 - 300 mg/kg-day) and Low (> 300 mg/kg-day)
hazard designation range; effects occurring within the Moderate range cannot be ruled out.

Endocrine Activity
TCPP increased 17B estradiol and testosterone production in H295R cells, up-regulated steroidogenic
genes and down-regulated sulfotransferases. TCPP also inhibited dihydrotestosterone and 17B estradiol
induced expression indicating antiandrogenic or antiestrogenic activity, while TCPP was found to not
induce estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects in a yeast reporter gene assay and a human endometrial
cancer cell assay.

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
MODERATE: Based on experimental aquatic toxicity values for algae and estimated ChV values in fish,
daphnia, and algae. An estimated chronic aquatic toxicity value derived using an acute-to-chronic ratio
(ACR) for the phosphate esters class and was applied to the available experimental acute data for this
chemical and indicated a Moderate hazard. An experimental NOEC for Daphnia magna indicated a Low
hazard designation for mortality and reproduction, while estimated ChV values (Esters class) range
from Low to High hazard range. There were no experimental chronic aquatic toxicity data located for
fish. There is potential concern based on estimates and the uncertainty due to the lack of experimental
data; therefore a Moderate hazard designation was assigned.

Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, TCPP is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water. TCPP is
expected to have moderate mobility in the soil, based on its measured Koc. TCPP will not volatilize from
moist soil and water surfaces based on its Henry's Law constant. Volatilization from dry surfaces is not
expected based on its vapor pressure. TCPP will exist almost entirely in the vapor phase in the
atmosphere.

HIGH: Based on measured persistence data. TCPP had 14% biodegradation after 28 days according to
OECD 301E, although in the modified MITI test, OECD 301C, 0% biodegradation was found after 28
days using an activated sludge inoculum. TCPP achieved 21% degradation after 28 days in an inherent
modified MITI test, OECD 302C. These data suggest a half-life greater than 60 days. TCPP is not
expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. The atmospheric half-life of vapor-phase
TCPP is estimated to be 2.9 hours, however it is not expected to partition greatly to the atmosphere.

Toxicokinetic studies indicate that TCPP and metabolites are rapidly formed and eliminated, consistent
with the estimated BAF. Biomonitoring studies report detection of this compound in human milk
samples and herring gull eggs, demonstrating that these materials are likely bioavailable and could be
observed in a biological matrix. However, the rate of metabolism and elimination may be successfully
competing with that of uptake, which is also consistent with the experimental BCF results. The

This table contains hazard information for each chemical; evaluation of risk considers both hazard and exposure. Variations in end-of-life processes or degradation and combustion
by-products are discussed in the report but not addressed directly in the hazard profiles. The caveats listed below must be taken into account when interpreting the information in the
table.
VL = Very Low hazard L = Low hazard   = Moderate hazard H = High hazard VH = Very High hazard - Endpoints in colored text (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were
assigned based on empirical data. Endpoints in black italics (VL, L, M, H, and VH) were assigned using values from estimation software and professional judgment

Chemical Considerations: This phosphate ester is a discrete organic chemical with a MW below 1,000. EPI v4.1 1 was used to estimate some environmental fate
values due to an absence of experimental data. Measured values from experimental studies were incorporated into the EPI estimations. This compound may be
manufactured by epoxide opening with either ethylene oxide or ethylene chlorohydrin in the presence of phosphorus oxy chloride. 1,2 dichloroethane is an impurity in
some commercial products (IARC, 1990; CELLTECH, 2009; ATSDR, 2012).

TCEP is well absorbed and distributed following oral administration in rats and mice. TCEP and
metabolites are rapidly eliminated principally in the urine. Urinary metabolites include bis(2-chloroethyl)
carboxymethylphosphate, bis(2-chloroethyl)hydrogen phosphate and bis(2-chloroethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl-
phosphate glucuronide. TCEP is metabolized by hepatic microsomal fraction in male rats and in humans,
but is not metabolized by plasma or whole blood. In an incubation experiment, bis(2-chloroethyl)
phosphate (BCEP) and hydroxyethyl 2-chloroethyl hydrogen phosphate were the only detected
metabolites. No phase II metabolites were detected.

TCEP is metabolized by hepatic
microsomal fraction in male rats but not
in females. Liver slices and blood
plasma indicated metabolism in both
sexes. Liver slices and microsomes in
humans metabolized TCEP, but plasma
and whole blood did not.
Wistar rats orally dosed with 50
(imol/kg 14C-labeled TCEP. During the
first 6 hours following administration,
TCEP was distributed and concentrated
by several tissues; primarily the liver
and kidney. Most of the material was
excreted within 24 hours and by 168
hours, <1% remained in tissues.
Excretion was 96% in urine, 6% in feces

HIGH: TCEP was carcinogenic in rats and mice. Renal adenomas/carcinomas were present in rats and
mice following 103 weeks of oral exposure. In addition, renal adenomas/carcinomas and forestomach and
hemapoietic tumors were evident in mice following 18 months of dietary exposure. IARC has classified
TCEP as a Category 3 carcinogen: "Not classifiable as to its Carcinogenicity" based on inadequate evidence
in experimental animals and no available human studies". However, NTP concludes that the renal
adenomas observed in rats are clear evidence of carcinogenic activity. In addition, this chemical appears on
the List of Chemicals Known to the State to Cause Cancer for the State of California.

In a 103 -week oral study, rats were
gavaged with TCEP at 0, 44 or 88
mg/kg-day, 5 days/week. Reduced
survival at the high dose. Renal tubular
adenomas (occurring in -50% of high-
dose males, 10% of high-dose females
and 10% of low-dose males); marked
increase in the incidence of renal tubule
cell hyperplasia in high dose males and
females. Although adenomas are benign
tumors, NTP concludes that renal
adenomas represent an early stage in the
development of carcinoma and is clear
evidence of carcinogenic activity.
In a 103 -week oral study, mice were
gavaged with TCEP at 0, 175, or 350
mg/kg-day 5 days/week. No significant
differences in survival or body weight

The NTP (1991) oral bioassay in
rats and mice was not available to
IARC when this agency classified
TCEP.
MODERATE: Based on weight of evidence from multiple studies. Results were positive in in vitro gene
mutation and chromosomal aberrations tests. TCEP was cytotoxic in a neutral read uptake assay in
Chinese hamster V79 cells, produced sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster V79 cells and mouse
lymphoma cells, and was positive in a cellular transformation study in mouse BALB/3t3 cells. TCEP was
not mutagenic in bacteria or yeast, and did not produce chromosomal aberrations in any available in vivo
studies. In addition, TCEP was negative in an Unscheduled DNA synthesis study in human WI-38 cells.
There is potential for genetic toxicity based on a structural alert for aliphatic substituted alkyl halides.

MODERATE: Based on the weight of evidence from a number of studies. TCEP produced degenerative
lesions in the cerebral cortex in female rats gavaged with 88 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 44 mg/kg-day) in a 103-
week study. In addition, necrotic lesions in the hippocampus were observed in female rats following oral
administration of 175 mg/kg-day TCEP (NOAEL = 88 mg/kg-day) for 16 weeks. Ataxia and convulsive
movements were observed in mice administered TCEP at doses of > 350 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 175 mg/kg-
day) for 16 days. Convulsions were observed in female rats within 60 minutes following single oral gavage
of 275 mg TCEP/kg-day. TCEP was attributed to death in dogs following ingestion of car seat cushions
found to contain large amounts of the chemical. TCEP produced no evidence of neurotoxicity in white
leghorn hens. TCEP promoted differentiation of the cholinergic phenotype only in an in vitro neurotoxicity
study using undifferentiated and differentiating PC12 cells. There is potential for neurotoxicity based on a
structural alert for organophosphates.

Repeated Dose Effects
MODERATE: Based on a LOAEL of 88 mg/kg-day in a 103-week oral study in rats. Effects included renal
tubule epithelial hyperplasia and cerebral gliosis. Additional effects in rats following oral exposure to
higher doses included slightly reduced serum cholinesterase activity and increased kidney and liver weights
(175 and 270 mg/kg-day). Effects in mice following oral exposure included renal tubular karyomegaly
and/or cytomegaly (350 and 700 mg/kg-day). No studies were available to assess effects of repeated
exposures to TCEP via the inhalation or dermal routes of exposure. In addition, there is potential for liver
toxicity based on a structural alert for chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
HIGH: Two experimental studies were located for daphnia and two for algae, while there were no
experimental chronic aquatic toxicity data for fish. The experimental 14 and 21-day NOECs of 1.9 and 13
mg/L in Daphnia magna and NOECs of 5 and 100 mg/L in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata are within the
Moderate - Low hazard designation range; however, chronic aquatic toxicity in fish cannot be ruled out
due to the lack of experimental data . An estimated chronic aquatic toxicity value derived using an acute-
to-chronic ratio (ACR) for the phosphate esters class and was applied to the available experimental acute
data for this chemical and indicated a High hazard. ECOSAR estimates (Esters class) indicate a Moderate
to Low hazard in fish, daphnia, and algae. In addition, this substance has been assigned the risk phrase
R51/53: Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment
(ESIS, 2012). There is potential concern based on estimates and the uncertainty due to the lack of
experimental data; therefore a High hazard designation was assigned.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, TCEP is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water. TCEP is expected
to have high mobility in soil, based on estimated K0c values. Leaching through soil to groundwater may
occur, though it is not expected to be an important transport mechanism. Estimated volatilization half-lives
indicate that it will be non-volatile from surface water. Volatilization from dry surface is also not expected
based on its vapor pressure. In the atmosphere, TCEP is expected to exist in the vapor phase based on its
vapor pressure.

Persistence
                           MODERATE: Based on guideline experimental biodegradation data that taken together indicate that the
                           resultant half-life is expected to be greater than 16 days but less than 60 days and therefore is consistent
                           with the moderate hazard designation. After 48 days 70-90% degradation of TCEP occurred in activated
                           sludge inoculum using OECD 301B, 50-90% degradation with adapted activated sludge using OECD 302A
                           and 45% degradation after 4 weeks with OECD 301C. No degradation was found in an anaerobic
                           biodegradation study after 58 days using ISO DIS 11734. TCEP is expected to hydrolyze slowly; although
                           hydrolysis rates will be dependent on temperature and pH conditions according to experimental studies.
                           TCEP is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight, since it does not absorb light at
                           wavelengths >290 nm. TCEP is not susceptible to significant degradation  by ozone or hydroxyl radicals in
                           experimental studies of water samples. The atmospheric half-live of vapor-phase TCEP is estimated to be
                           less than one day.

DATA QUALITY
Half-life estimated for the
predominant compartment (soil), as
determined by EPI and the PBT
Profiler methodology.
LOW: Based on multiple experimental BCF values in four different species that are below 100, the cutoff
for the Low bioaccumulation designation criteria. Biomonitoring studies have reported the detection of this
compound in aquatic species, mammalian species, herring gull eggs and pine needles; DfE criteria
specifically require these data to be considered in the hazard designation on a case by case basis. Available
toxicokinetic studies indicate that in some species, metabolites of TCEP are rapidly formed and eliminated.
This demonstrates that these materials are likely bioavailable and could be observed in a biological matrix.
However, the rate of metabolism and elimination may be successfully competing with that of uptake, which
is also consistent with the experimental BCF results. The biomonitoring studies are not inconsistent with a
Low designation.

Chemical Considerations: The alternative, TBPP, may contain a mixture of t-butyl isomers and t-butyl substituted phenyl phosphate esters depending on the
manufacturing, purification and processing of the compound. Isomers expected to be present will be discussed in this report as appropriate when determining hazard
designations. A description of the sample tested, mixture components or isomer content is included in the report when available. However this information was not
consistently reported in the literature. Chemical, fate, and toxicity data for components of the mixture represented by other CASRN were collected in the preparation
of this AA and are listed below:

Based on analogy to closely related compounds, TBPP is expected to have poor absorption through the
skin, lungs and GI tract. There is evidence of dermal uptake in mixtures; however, it is uncertain if
TBPP or other components of the mixture are promoting absorption.

CASRN 56803-37-5 is not readily
absorbed when applied dermally to
guinea pig skin.
MIL-H-19457C hydraulic fluid
(CASRN 28777-70-0) is rapidly
absorbed following dermal
administration
Absorption is nil through skin as neat
solid, poor through skin when in
solution, and poor through lungs and GI
tract; based on analogy to closely
related compounds

MODERATE: Based on experimental data for individual isomers of TBPP and its mixture components.
No adverse reproductive effects were observed in rats fed diets containing CASRN 56803-37-3 at doses
up to 1600 ppm (107.5 mg/kg-day; LOAEL not established), while abnormal reproductive cycles and
liver effects were noted in rats administered BTP (CASRN 220352-35-2) at a dose of 1.7 g/kg (1700
mg/kg-day, only dose tested). A NOAEL of 170 mg/kg-day (without an established LOAEL) leaves
uncertainty as to what dose adverse effects could occur; it is possible that effects could occur between
107.5 mg/kg-day and 250 mg/kg-day which falls within the DfE Moderate criteria range. Using a
conservative approach, a Moderate hazard designation was assigned.

Developmental Effects
LOW: Based on experimental data for mixture components of TBPP. In two studies using Santicizer 154
(a mixture containing TBPP and CASRN 56803-37-3), no biologically significant treatment-related
effects were observed in rats gavaged with up to 3,000 mg/kg-day undiluted test substance, while a
decrease in viable fetuses and increase in mean post implantation loss was noted at a dose of 5,000
mg/kg-day (NOAEL= 1,000 mg/kg-day). In a study using Phosflex 51B (a mixture containing 75-80%
CASRN 56803-37-3), embryotoxicity was indicated by reduced fetal body weight at a dose of 1,000
mg/kg-day; however, this response was considered to be secondary to maternal toxicity.
There were no data located for the developmental neurotoxicity endpoint. Decreased cholinesterase
activity in pregnant lab animals has been shown to have a negative impact on fetal brain development.
As a result, there is uncertain potential for developmental neurotoxicity for this substance.

Neurotoxicity
MODERATE: Based on a 3-week dermal study in rats exposed to Santicizer 154 where cholinesterase
inhibition was the major effect at 100 mg/kg-day (NOAEL = 10 mg/kg-day). Experimental data for
individual isomers and mixture components of TBPP and analogy to closely related compounds yielded
negative results for neurotoxicity in hens and rats. There is a structural alert for the neurotoxicity
endpoint based on organophosphates; however, TBPP is not expected to form intermolecular
intermediates that may result in neurotoxic mechanisms of action.

HIGH: Based on weight of evidence for individual isomers and commercial formulation components
containing TBPP and CASRN 56803-37-3). In a 90-day inhalation study, rats exposed to Santicizer 154
aerosol showed clinical signs of toxicity, increased liver-body weight-ratios and changes in urinalysis
parameters at a concentration of 100 mg/m3 (0.1 mg/L; NOAEL= 0.01 mg/L). In a 3-week dermal study
in rats exposed to Santicizer 154, cholinesterase inhibition was the major effect at 100 mg/kg-day
(NOAEL= 10 mg/kg-day). The adrenal gland appeared to be a target organ in some inhalation and oral
studies (effects included lesions and increased weight). Several oral toxicity studies using CASRN 56803-
37-3, Phosflex 51B (a mixture containing CASRN 56803-37-3) and MIL-H-19457C hydraulic fluid
(CASRN 28777-70-0) indicate low concern for toxicity via this route of exposure.
In a 90-day inhalation study, rats
(15/sex/group) were exposed to
Santicizer- 154 aerosol at concentrations
of 0, 10 and 100 mg/m3 (actual)
analytical concentrations: 0, 10.1 and
101.1 mg/m3). No deaths attributed to
treatment. Clinical signs of toxicity at
the high dose included ptosis, ruffled
and discolored fur, rhinitis, sneezing,
hemorrhagic conjunctivitis and
wheezing. No effect on body weight
gain or clinical chemistry. Elevated
SGOT and SAP values upon urinalysis
of one high dose animal. Increased
liver-body weight-ratio in high dose
males. No gross or microscopic tissue
changes.

Endocrine Activity
No data were available for TBPP. Rats exposed to hydraulic BTP (mixture of p-t-butylphenyl phenyl
phosphates (84%), triphenyl phosphate, and m-t-phenyl phosphate), had significantly prolonged
diestrus, hypertrophy and cholesteryl lipidosis of adrenocortical and ovarian interstitial cells and
minimal degeneration in the adrenal cortex and ovary. Lesions on the adrenal glands and ovaries were
observed in rats, hamsters and rabbits  and relative testes weight was increased in rats following
inhalation exposure to MIL-H-19457C  hydraulic fluid (CASRN 28777-70-0). Adrenal weights were
increased in rats after dietary exposure to Phosflex 51B.

VERY HIGH: Based on experimental data for mixture components of TBPP for fish and daphnia.
Experimental data for algae indicates HIGH hazard concern. The reported water solubility values from
studies on commercial mixtures may not adequately represent all components of the mixture. The TBPP
isomers and t-butyl substituted phenyl phosphate esters anticipated to be present in the commercial
product are expected to have a range of water solubility values. Therefore NES may be predicted for
some components but not others.

Chronic Aquatic Toxicity
VERY HIGH: Based on experimental NOEC values for mixture components of TBPP for fish and
daphnia. The reported water solubility values from studies on commercial mixtures may not adequately
represent all components of the mixture. The TBPP isomers and t-butyl substituted phenyl phosphate
esters components anticipated to be present in the commercial product are expected to have a range of
water solubility values. Therefore NES may be predicted for some components but not others.

Sediment/Soil
Adsorption/Desorption - Koc
Level III fugacity models incorporating available physical and chemical property data indicate that at
steady state, TBPP is expected to be found primarily in soil and to a lesser extent, water. TBPP is
expected to have negligible mobility in soil based on the estimated K0c value. There is low to moderate
potential for volatilization from water or moist soil surfaces based upon the estimated Henry's Law
constant; however adsorption to soil is expected to attenuate this process. TBPP is not expected to
volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon the extrapolated and measured vapor pressures. In the
atmosphere, TBPP is expected to exist primarily in the particulate phase. Particulate phase TBPP will be
removed from air by wet or dry deposition.

MODERATE: Based on primary and ultimate biodegradation in nonguideline experimental studies
using CASRN 56803-37-3 in river and pond water and sediment samples. These results indicate a half-
life for ultimate degradation of <60 days but >16 days in the environment and are consistent with
inherent degradation. 100% primary degradation of CASRN 56803-37-3 was reported after
approximately 11 days in a river die-away study and 93% primary degradation after 9 weeks in a SCAS
test using activated sludge inoculum under aerobic conditions. CASRN 56803-37-3 was found to have
half-lives based on disappearance of the parent compound of 4.2 and 8.4 days in pond and river
sediment, respectively, and showed mineralization of 1.7-37.2% after 8 weeks in water-sediment
microcosms. Hydrolysis in alkaline waters may be an important fate process based on experimental half-
lives for TBPP but slower under neutral conditions. In a nonguideline photolysis study, no
transformation products were identified from a commercial mixture of TBPP in filtered Mississippi
River water after exposure to sunlight for 14 days.
