PROVISIONAL PEER-REVIEWED TOXICITY VALUES FOR
1,1,2-TRICHLOROPROPANE (CASRN 598-77-6)
BACKGROUND
A Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value (PPRTV) is defined as a toxicity value
derived for use in the Superfund Program. PPRTVs are derived after a review of the relevant
scientific literature using established Agency guidance on human health toxicity value
derivations. All PPRTV assessments receive internal review by a standing panel of National
Center for Environment Assessment (NCEA) scientists and an independent external peer review
by three scientific experts.
The purpose of this document is to provide support for the hazard and dose-response
assessment pertaining to chronic and subchronic exposures to substances of concern, to present
the major conclusions reached in the hazard identification and derivation of the PPRTVs, and to
characterize the overall confidence in these conclusions and toxicity values. It is not intended to
be a comprehensive treatise on the chemical or toxicological nature of this substance.
The PPRTV review process provides needed toxicity values in a quick turnaround
timeframe while maintaining scientific quality. PPRTV assessments are updated approximately
on a 5-year cycle for new data or methodologies that might impact the toxicity values or
characterization of potential for adverse human health effects and are revised as appropriate. It is
important to utilize the PPRTV database flittp://hhpprtv.ornl.gov) to obtain the current
information available. When a final Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) assessment is
made publicly available on the Internet (http://www.epa.gov/iris). the respective PPRTVs are
removed from the database.
DISCLAIMERS
The PPRTV document provides toxicity values and information about the adverse effects
of the chemical and the evidence on which the value is based, including the strengths and
limitations of the data. All users are advised to review the information provided in this
document to ensure that the PPRTV used is appropriate for the types of exposures and
circumstances at the site in question and the risk management decision that would be supported
by the risk assessment.
Other U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs or external parties who
may choose to use PPRTVs are advised that Superfund resources will not generally be used to
respond to challenges, if any, of PPRTVs used in a context outside of the Superfund program.
QUESTIONS REGARDING PPRTVs
Questions regarding the contents and appropriate use of this PPRTV assessment should
be directed to the EPA Office of Research and Development's National Center for
Environmental Assessment, Superfund Health Risk Technical Support Center (513-569-7300).

INTRODUCTION
1,1,2-Trichloropropane, CAS No. 598-77-6, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that is a liquid
at room temperature. 1,1,2-Trichloropropane is one of the trichloropropane (TCP) isomers.
TCPs are by-products of synthetic processes used to manufacturer propylene chlorohydrins and
other propylene derivatives. The molecular formula is C3H5CI3, and the structure is shown in
Figure 1. Table 1 provides a list of physicochemical properties.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Integrated Risk
Information System (IRIS) database (U.S. EPA, 1988a) provides an oral reference dose (RfD) of
	o
5x10 mg/kg-day based on an oral subchronic study (Villeneuve et al., 1985) in rats. IRIS
does not report a chronic inhalation reference concentration (RfC) or cancer assessment
(U.S. EPA, 1988a). No RfD, RfC, or cancer assessment for 1,1,2-trichloropropane is included
on the Drinking Water Standards and Health Advisories List (U.S. EPA, 2009a). A subchronic
	o
RfD value of 5 x 10 mg/kg-day is included in the Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables
(HEAST) (U.S. EPA, 2011), which was derived from the IRIS RfD, but no RfC is derived. The

Effects Profile (HEEP) for trichloropropanes that, due to inadequate noncancer data, derives no
toxicity value for 1,1,2-trichloropropane (U.S. EPA, 1994). The toxicity of
1,1,2-trichloropropane has not been reviewed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR, 2011) or the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011). The California
Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA, 2008, 2009) has not derived toxicity values for
exposure to 1,1,2-trichloropropane. No occupational exposure limits for 1,1,2-trichloropropane
have been recommended or derived by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH, 2011), the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH,
2010), or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 2006).
The HEAST (U.S. EPA, 2011) does not report any cancer toxicity values or an oral slope
factor (OSF) for 1,1,2-trichloropropane. The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC, 2011) has not reviewed the carcinogenic potential of 1,1,2-trichloropropane.
1,1,2-Trichloropropane is not included in the 12th Report on Carcinogens (NTP, 2011). CalEPA
(2008) has not derived a quantitative estimate of carcinogenic potential for
1,1,2-trichloropropane.
Literature searches were conducted on sources published from 1900 through
August 3, 2011 for studies relevant to the derivation of provisional toxicity values for
1,1,2-trichloropropane, CAS No. 598-77-6. Searches were conducted using U.S. EPA's Health

HUMAN STUDIES
Oral Exposures
The effects of oral exposure of humans to 1,1,2-trichloropropane have not been evaluated
in sub chronic-duration, chronic-duration, developmental, reproductive, or carcinogenicity
studies.
Inhalation Exposures
The effects of inhalation exposure of humans to 1,1,2-trichloropropane have not been
evaluated in subchronic-duration, chronic-duration, developmental, reproductive, or
carcinogenicity studies.
ANIMAL STUDIES
Oral Exposures
The effects of oral exposure of animals to 1,1,2-trichloropropane have been evaluated in
one subchronic study (Villeneuve et al., 1985). No short-term, chronic, developmental,
reproductive, or other studies were identified.
Short-Term Studies
No short-term studies were identified.
Subchronic Studies
The study by Villeneuve et al. (1985) is selected as the principal study for the
derivation of the subchronic p-RfD. In a peer-reviewed study, Villeneuve et al. (1985)
administered 1-, 10-, 100-, or 1000-mg/L 1,1,2-trichloropropane (Columbia Organic Chemicals,
Columbia, SC; purity >99%; solubilized in 0.5% Emulphor) in drinking water to young adult
Sprague-Dawley rats (10/sex/treatment) for 90 days. Additionally, two control groups were
used, one using tap water alone, while the other control group was given tap water with
0.5% Emulphor. Because body weights and water intake were not reported for
1,1,2-trichloropropane-dosed animals, adjusted daily doses are calculated as 0, 0.14, 1.4, 14, and
139 mg/kg-day for males and 0, 0.15, 1.5, 15, and 152 mg/kg-day for females using default
values for body weight (0.267 and 0.204 kg for males and females, respectively) and drinking
water consumption rate (0.037 and 0.031 L/day for males and females, respectively) (U.S. EPA,
1988b). Animals weighed between 60-70 g at study initiation. Food and water were provided
ad libitum. Animals were examined for clinical signs of toxicity daily. Body-weight changes
and water intake were also monitored throughout the study. GLP compliance was not reported
by the study authors.
At the end of treatment, animals were sacrificed, and the brain, liver, kidney, heart, and
spleen were weighed and histologically examined (Villeneuve et al., 1985). Hematological
analysis (hemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular
volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, total erythrocytes, and total and
differential counts of leukocytes) was conducted following sacrifice. Serum biochemical
analysis conducted following sacrifice included measurement of sodium, potassium, inorganic
phosphorus, total protein, calcium, cholesterol, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, total
bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase, and serum sorbitol
dehydrogenase activity. Hepatic mixed function oxidase activities (aniline hydroxylase,
aminopyrine demethylase, and ethoxyresorufin deethylase) were measured as indicators of liver
function. The study authors performed statistical analysis using one-way analysis of variance

followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test to determine significant differences (p < 0.05)
between treated and control groups.
One female from the 15-mg/kg-day dose group and one male from the 139-mg/kg-day
group died during the study, but the cause of death was not determined (Villeneuve et al., 1985).
However, the study authors did not consider these deaths treatment-related. There were no
statistically significant differences in body-weight gain, water intake, or absolute organ weights
in any of the treatment or control groups (quantitative data not provided). Relative liver weight
was statistically significantly increased in males treated with 139 mg/kg-day (reportedly, 4% of
body weight compared to 3.7% in both the vehicle and water controls; values for the other dose
groups are not provided). In high-dose females (152 mg/kg-day), serum cholesterol levels were
statistically significantly increased compared to both vehicle (135%) and water controls (139%)
(96 nmol HCHO/mg protein/hour compared to 71 in the vehicle and 69 in the water controls;
values for the other dose groups were not provided). The study authors reported no other dose-
related effects on clinical, organ weight, biochemical, hematological, or hepatic mixed function
oxidase activities (quantitative data not provided).
Villeneuve et al. (1985) described histological effects in the liver, kidneys, and thyroid of
treated animals. High-dose males (139 mg/kg-day) and females (152 mg/kg-day) exhibited
changes in the liver described as "mild but significant" by the study authors. These changes
included anisokaryosis, accentuated zonation, and occasional fatty vacuolation (quantitative data
not provided). Mild changes in kidney histopathology were also noted at the high dose in both
sexes of rats and included eosinophilic inclusions, pyknosis, nuclear displacement, fine
glomerular adhesions, interstitial reactions, and histologic proteinuria (quantitative data not
provided). Mild thyroid changes in the high-dose groups of both sexes included angular collapse
of some follicles, reduction in colloid density, and increased epithelial height (quantitative data
not provided). The study authors reported that these effects were more prevalent and more
severe in treated males as compared to treated females (quantitative data not provided). No other
histological effects were described by the study authors.
Based on histological lesions reported in the liver, kidneys, and thyroid of high-dose
males and females, with the males acknowledged by the study authors as the more sensitive sex,
a LOAEL of 139 mg/kg-day is identified, with a corresponding NOAEL of 14 mg/kg-day.

Tests Evaluating Carcinogenicity, Genotoxicity, and/or Mutagenicity
The carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and mutagenicity potential of 1,1,2-trichloropropane
have not been evaluated.
Acute Studies
One acute oral toxicity study in rats (Smyth et al., 1954), two acute inhalation toxicity
studies in rats (Hazleton Labs 1992; Smyth et al., 1954), and one acute dermal toxicity study in
rabbits (Smyth et al., 1954) were identified.
Smyth et al. (1954) performed one oral acute study in which five male Carworth-Wistar
rats/dose (weighing 90-120 g) were administered a single dose of 1,1,2-trichloropropane and
observed for mortality for up to 14 days. The study authors tested a range of doses spaced in a
logarithmic series, although the exact doses used were not reported. An oral LD50 of 1.23 g/kg
was calculated using the method of Thompson (1947) and the tables of Weil (1952). The study
authors reported no other effects.
Hazleton Labs (1992) conducted an unpublished, acute inhalation toxicity study in which
6 male and 6 female Sprague-Dawley rats (average weights: 295 and 204 g, respectively) were
exposed to 3500-ppm 1,1,2-trichloropropane for 6 hours. This exposure is converted to
21,000 mg/m3 by multiplying 3500 ppm by the molecular weight of 1,2,2-trichloropropane
(147.43 g/mol) and dividing the value by the standard molar volume of an ideal gas (24.45). No
air controls were reported. Ataxia and effects on coordination were observed within 45 minutes
after beginning exposure to 1,1,2-trichloropropane. After 2 hours of exposure all animals were
prostrate, and after 3 hours of exposure some animals stopped breathing. All animals died prior
to termination of the 6-hour exposure period. The study authors stated that the apparent cause of
mortality was central nervous system depression. Autopsy revealed that the lungs, liver, and
kidneys of all animals were congested. In males, kidneys were poorly differentiated, and lungs
had a purple appearance. Pale kidneys were observed in one female. Authors observed similar
effects in animals exposed to four other chlorinated hydrocarbons (3500 ppm of
1,2,2-trichloropropane, 1,1,2-trichloropropene-l, 1,1,1-trichloropropane, and
ethyltrichloroethylene) and no effects from another chlorinated hydrocarbon (3500 ppm of
2,2-dichloropropane). Of the chemicals tested, the effects of 1,1,2-trichloropropane were noted
to be most severe (quantitative data not provided).
Smyth et al. (1954) exposed 6 male albino rats to inhaled concentrations of 2000-ppm
1,1,2-trichloropropane for 4 hours. This exposure is converted to 12,000 mg/m3 by multiplying
2000 ppm by the molecular weight of 1,1,2-trichloropropane (147.43 g/mol) and dividing the
value by the standard molar volume of an ideal gas (24.45). Animals were observed for
mortality for 14 days following the exposure period, during which 3 of the 6 rats had died. No
other details were provided in the study report.
Smyth et al. (1954) also assessed dermal penetration in 4 male New Zealand giant albino
rabbits weighing 2.5-3.5 kg using the one-day cuff method. Fur was clipped closely to the skin
and the test site was occluded with plastic film for the 24-hour exposure period. Effects were
assessed up to 14 days after exposure. An acute dermal LD50 value was calculated using a
similar method to that reported for oral exposure in rats (Smyth et al., 1954). The study authors
10

calculated a dermal LD50 of 14.1 mL/kg for rabbits, indicating dermal penetration. No other
effects were described.

Other
In parallel to the Villeneuve et al. (1985) investigation of the subchronic oral
administration of 1,1,2-trichloropropane in rats, a similar investigation using the same methods
was conducted using 1,2,3-trichloropropane. 1,2,3-Trichloropropane led to effects to the liver,
kidney, and thyroid (Villeneuve et al., 1985). The histological effects observed after
1,2,3-trichloropropane exposure were similar to those in the 1,1,2-trichloropropane study.
Lesions observed in the livers, kidneys, and thyroid of rats exposed to 1000-mg/L
1.1.2-trichloropropane	were also observed in rats exposed to 1000-mg/L 1,2,3-trichloropropane,
though effects were generally more prevalent and more severe in rats exposed to
1.2.3-trichloropropane.	In addition to the lesions reported with 1,1,2-trichloropropane exposure,
female rats exposed to 1000-mg/L 1,2,3-trichloropropane demonstrated biliary hyperplasia.
Additional differences indicated that the response to 1,2,3-trichloropropane may be more
severe than to 1,1,2-trichloropropane. Both chemicals led to increased relative liver weights in
males; however, the effect was also observed in females treated with 1,2,3-trichloropropane.
Additionally, relative kidney and brain weights were elevated in 1,2,3-trichloropropane-exposed
rats, but were unaffected by 1,1,2-trichloropropane exposure. 1,2,3-trichloropropane decreased
body-weight gains and daily water intake; these changes may be responsible for the changes in
relative—but not absolute—organ weights. Serum cholesterol levels (females only), hepatic
aminopyrine demethylase activity (males and females), and aniline hydroxylase activity (males
only) were increased compared to both vehicle and water controls in animals treated with
1000-mg/L 1,2,3-trichloropropane. Although they share a NOAEL (100 mg/L) and LOAEL
(1000 mg/L) in this study, 1,2,3-trichloropropane is reported to be more toxic than
1,1,2-trichloropropane on the basis of more numerous and severe effects at the LOAEL.

DERIVATION OF ORAL REFERENCE DOSES
Derivation of Subchronic Provisional RfD (Subchronic p-RfD)
The Villeneuve et al. (1985) study is selected as the critical study for the derivation
of a subchronic p-RfD. This study is a published, peer-reviewed study and meets the standards
of study design and performance with numbers of animals, examination of potential toxicity
endpoints, and presentation of information. Furthermore, this is the only study of subchronic
duration located in the literature. The critical endpoints are an increased incidence of mild
lesions in the liver, kidneys, and thyroid observed in male and female rats exposed to
1.1.2-trichloropropane	in drinking water for 90 days, with males reported as the most sensitive
sex. The same study was used by IRIS (U.S. EPA, 1988a) to derive a chronic RfD. The critical
endpoint is supported by similar effects described by Villeneuve et al. (1985) following oral
exposure to the related chemical, 1,2,3-trichloropropane. Further details of the study on
1.2.3-trichloropropane	are provided in the "Other Data" section of this document. Details of the
1,1,2-trichloropropane study are provided in the "Review of Potentially Relevant Data" section
of this document. The point of departure (POD) from this study is a NOAEL (14 mg/kg-day for
mild liver, kidney, and thyroid lesions in male rats). Benchmark dose (BMD) analysis cannot be
performed on these data because quantitative data for the critical effects are not provided in the
study report.
The following dosimetric adjustments were made for each dose in the principal study for
the water treatment.
NOAELadj = NOAEL x Water Consumption per Day x (1 Body Weight) x
(Days Dosed + Total Days)
= 100 mg/L x 0.037 L/day x (1 - 0.267 kg) x
(90 days dosed ^ 90 total days)
= 100 mg/L x 0.037 L/day x 3.75 kg-1 x 1
= 14 mg/kg-day
The subchronic p-RfD based on a NOAEL of 14 mg/kg-day for mild liver, kidney, and
thyroid lesions in the male rat (Villeneuve et al., 1985) is derived as follows:
Subchronic p-RfD = NOAEL -h UFc
= 14 mg/kg-day 1000
= 1 x 10~2 mg/kg-day
Table 6 summarizes the uncertainty factors for the subchronic p-RfD of
1,1,2-trichloropropane.

Justification
UFa
10
A UFa of 10 is applied for interspecies extrapolation to account for potential
toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic differences between rats and humans.
UFd
10
A UFd of 10 is applied because there are no acceptable two-generation
reproduction studies or developmental studies by this route of exposure.
UFh
10
A UFh of 10 is applied for intraspecies differences to account for potentially
susceptible individuals in the absence of information on the variability of
response to humans.
UFl
1
A UFl of 1 is applied for using a POD based on a NOAEL.
UFS
1
A UFs of 1 is applied because a sub chronic-duration study was utilized as the
critical study.

Rationale
Confidence in study
M
The confidence in the study is medium. Villeneuve et al.
(1985) examined most—but not all—of the appropriate
subchronic endpoints. The study was peer reviewed.
The study included multiple effect levels, and both a
NOAEL and LOAEL were identified. The study by
Villeneuve et al. (1985) was also used to derive a
chronic RfD by IRIS (U.S. EPA, 1988a).
Confidence in database
L
The confidence in the database is low because the
database for subchronic oral exposure includes only the
single study by Villeneuve et al. (1985). The database
does not include any acceptable reproduction or
development studies.
Confidence in
subchronic p-RfD
L
The overall confidence in the subchronic p-RfD is low.
The overall confidence cannot be greater than lowest
entry in table.

Derivation of Chronic Provisional RfD (Chronic p-RfD)
A chronic RfD of 5 x 10 3 mg/kg-day is available on IRIS (U.S. EPA, 1988a), based on
increased incidence of mild lesions in the liver, kidney, and thyroid reported in rats exposed to
1000 mg/L 1,1,2-trichloropropane (adjusted to 150 mg/kg-day) via drinking water for 90 days,
with a NOAEL of 100 mg/L (adjusted to 15 mg/kg-day) (Villeneuve et al., 1985). The principal
study used by IRIS is also utilized in this document for a subchronic p-RfD. The IRIS database
should be checked to determine if any changes have been made.
DERIVATION OF INHALATION REFERENCE CONCENTRATIONS

While there is no evidence assessing the carcinogenicity of 1,1,2-trichloropropane via
either the oral or the inhalation route of exposure, the related compound, 1,2,3-trichloropropane,
is a likely human carcinogen via the oral route of exposure (U.S. EPA, 2009b) based on evidence
of genotoxicity and occurrence of tumors at multiple sites in both rats and mice. Additionally,
halogenated propanes have been generally found to be positive in assays testing for mutagenicity
(Lag et al., 1994; Ratpan and Plaumann, 1988). This indicates a need for future studies
addressing the carcinogenic potential of 1,1,2-trichloropropane.
