1,2-Dichloropropane	CASRN 78-87-5

The High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program1 was conceived as a voluntary initiative
aimed at developing and making publicly available screening-level health and environmental
effects information on chemicals manufactured in or imported into the United States in quantities
greater than one million pounds per year. In the Challenge Program, producers and importers of
HPV chemicals voluntarily sponsored chemicals; sponsorship entailed the identification and
initial assessment of the adequacy of existing toxicity data/information, conducting new testing if
adequate data did not exist, and making both new and existing data and information available to
the public. Each complete data submission contains data on 18 internationally agreed to "SIDS"

1 2

(Screening Information Data Setl ' ) endpoints that are screening-level indicators of potential
hazards (toxicity) for humans or the environment.

The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) is
evaluating the data submitted in the HPV Challenge Program on approximately 1400 sponsored
chemicals by developing hazard characterizations (HCs). These HCs consist of an evaluation of
the quality and completeness of the data set provided in the Challenge Program submissions.

They are not intended to be definitive statements regarding the possibility of unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment.

2 3

The evaluation is performed according to established EPA guidance ' and is based primarily on
hazard data provided by sponsors; however, in preparing the hazard characterization, EPA
considered its own comments and public comments on the original submission as well as the
sponsor's responses to comments and revisions made to the submission. In order to determine
whether any new hazard information was developed since the time of the HPV submission, a
search of the following databases was made from one year prior to the date of the HPV
Challenge submission to the present: (ChemID to locate available data sources including
Medline/PubMed, Toxline, HSDB, IRIS, NTP, AT SDR, IARC, EXTOXNET, EPA SRS, etc.),
STN/CAS online databases (Registry file for locators, ChemAbs for toxicology data, RTECS,
Merck, etc.), Science Direct and ECHA4. OPPT's focus on these specific sources is based on
their being of high quality, highly relevant to hazard characterization, and publicly available.

OPPT does not develop HCs for those HPV chemicals which have already been assessed
internationally through the HPV program of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) and for which Screening Initial Data Set (SIDS) Initial Assessment
Reports (SIAR) and SIDS Initial Assessment Profiles (SIAP) are available. These documents are
presented in an international forum that involves review and endorsement by governmental
authorities around the world. OPPT is an active participant in these meetings and accepts these
documents as reliable screening-level hazard assessments.

These hazard characterizations are technical documents intended to inform subsequent decisions
and actions by OPPT. Accordingly, the documents are not written with the goal of informing the
general public. However, they do provide a vehicle for public access to a concise assessment of
the raw technical data on HPV chemicals and provide information previously not readily
available to the public.

Summary

C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream (CASRN 68390-96-5) is a mixture of several chlorinated
3-carbon chemicals which are produced as intermediate streams from manufacturing product
lines. The composition of this substance is variable, but a commercial mixture was shown to
contain 1,2-dichloropropane (CASRN 78-87-5; 85% wt maximum), 2,3-dichloropropene
(CASRN 78-88-6; 5% wt maximum), 3,3-dichloropropene (CASRN 563-57-5; 5% wt
maximum), and 2,2-dichloropropane (CASRN 594-20-7; 5.5% maximum). The remainder of
this mixture is composed of other chlorinated propenes with no other single component present
at more than 4% of the total stream. The components of C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream are
liquids, with high vapor pressure and moderate to high water solubility. The components of
C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream are expected to have high mobility in soil. Volatilization is
expected to be high for the components of C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream. The rate of
hydrolysis is negligible for most components; however, 2,2-dichloropropane
(CASRN 594-20-7) has a moderate hydrolysis rate under environmental conditions. The rate of
atmospheric photooxidation is moderate to negligible. The components of C3 chlorinated
hydrocarbon stream are expected to have moderate to high persistence (P2-P3) and low
bioaccumulation potential (Bl).

No human health data are available for C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream. Data for supporting
chemical 1,2-dichloropropane are used to address all SIDS endpoints.

Acute oral and dermal toxicity of 1,2-dichloropropane in rats and rabbits, respectively, is low.
Acute inhalation toxicity in rats is moderate. In a 13-week repeated-dose toxicity gavage study
in rats, mortality, decreased body weight and liver effects were seen at > 500 mg/kg-day. The
NOAEL is 250 mg/kg-day. In a 13-week repeated-dose toxicity gavage study in mice, no
significant effects were seen; the NOAEL is 500 mg/kg-day.

In 103-week toxicity and carcinogenicity gavage study in rats, the NOAEL for males is
62 mg/kg-day based on effect on body weight at > 125 mg/kg-day; the NOAEL for females is
125 mg/kg-day based on mortality and effect on body weight and liver at > 250 mg/kg-day. In
mice, following 103 weeks of repeated gavage administration of 1,2-dichloropropne, liver and
stomach lesions were noted at >125 mg/kg-day; NOAEL is not established.

Following repeated inhalation exposure to rats for 13 weeks, 1,2-dichlorproapane resulted in
effect on body weight and nasal epithelial hyperplasia at >15 ppm (-0.068 mg/L-day); the
NOAEC is not established. Inhalation exposure of mice to 1,2-dichlorproapane for 13 weeks
resulted in no significant effects; the NOAEC is 150 ppm (0.675 mg/L-day), the highest
concentration tested. In rabbits, inhalation exposure of to 1,2-dichlorproapane for 13 weeks
resulted in effects on hematology parameters in males >150 ppm (0.675 mg/L-day) and in
females > 500 ppm (2.25 mg/L-day); for males NOAEC is not established; while in females the
NOAEC is 150 ppm (0.675 mg/L-day).

In a 2-generation reproductive toxicity study in rats via drinking water with supporting
chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane, parental systemic toxicity NOAEL is 0.024%

(20-30 mg/kg-day) based on decreased body weights at >0.1%; the NOAEL for reproductive
toxicity is 0.24% (130-250 mg/kg-day), the highest dose tested at the limit of solubility and the
NOAEL for offspring toxicity is 0.1% (70-130 mg/kg-day) based on effect on body weight.

In a prenatal developmental toxicity gavage study of supporting chemical, 1,2-dichlorpropane,
in rats, the NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity is 30 mg/kg-day based on
decreased body weights in dams and delayed ossification of skull bones in pups, respectively, at
125 mg/kg-day. In the prenatal developmental toxicity gavage study of supporting chemical,
1,2-dichlorpropane in rabbits, the NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity is
50 mg/kg-day based on decreased body weights and effect on hematology parameters in does
and delayed ossification of skull bones in pups, respectively, at 150 mg/kg-day.

The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane is weakly mutagenic in bacteria and mutagenic in
mammalian cells in vitro. The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane induced chromosomal
aberrations in vitro but did not increase micronuclei in mice in vivo. The supporting chemical,
1,2-dichloropropane induced sister chromatid exchanges in vitro but it did not induce dominant
lethal mutations in vivo. The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane is irritating to rabbit
skin and eyes. In the mouse local lymph-node assay, 1,2-dichloropropane was not a skin
sensitizer. The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane increased tumor incidence in mice but
showed equivocal evidence of an increased tumor incidence in rats. In a 13-week neurotoxicity

study in rats, the supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane did not show neurotoxicity when
administered up to 200 mg/kg-day.

For ecotoxicity, data for all endpoints are based on the supporting chemical of
1,2-dichloropropane. The 96-h LC50 values for chlorinated C3 stream for fish range between
130 and 320 mg/L. The chronic 28-day toxicity values for chlorinated C3 stream for fish range
between 6 and 11 mg/L. The 48-h LC50 values for chlorinated C3 stream for aquatic
invertebrates range between 24 and 120 mg/L. The chronic 21-day NOEC values for
chlorinated C3 stream for aquatic invertebrates range between 4.1 and 8.3 mg/L. The 72-h EC50
of chlorinated C3 stream for aquatic plants is 14.7 mg/L (growth) and 15.1 mg/L (biomass).

No data gaps were identified under the HPV Challenge Program.

The sponsor, Dow Chemical Company, submitted a Test Plan and Robust Summaries to EPA for
C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream (CAS No. 68390-96-5; CA Index name: hydrocarbons, C3,
chloro) on December 29, 2004. EPA posted the submission on the ChemRTK HPV Challenge
website on January 18, 2005 (http://www.epa.gov/hpv/pubs/summaries/chlorc3s/cl5745tc.htm).
EPA comments on the original submission were posted to the website on March 15, 2007.

Public comments were also received and posted to the website. The sponsor submitted
updated/revised documents on April 4, 2007, which were posted to the ChemRTK website on
July 24, 2007.

Justification for Supporting Chemicals

The chlorinated C3 stream consists of "several chlorinated 3-carbon chemicals, which are
produced as intermediate streams from several manufacturing product lines. The material is
generated and chemically destroyed in the production of another chemical substance at the site of
manufacture". The sponsored stream is described as highly variable in composition. In the 2004
test plan, the sponsor described the major components of the chlorinated C3 stream as 65%

1.2-dichloropropane	(also described as PDC), 8% trichloropropene and 6.5% 2-chloropropene.
The remaining 20.5% of the stream was described as consisting of "a number of chlorinated
propenes with no single component present at more than 5% of the total stream." In its 2007
revised test plan, the sponsor listed the largest volume components of the 2006 chlorinated C3
stream as 1,2-dichloropropane (~ 85% maximum), 2,3-dichloropropene (~ 5% maximum),

3.3-dichloropropene	(~ 5% maximum) and 2,2-dichloropropane (~ 5.5% maximum), with the
remaining portion composed of "other chlorinated propenes with no other single component
present at more than 4% of the total stream." Although highly variable, the propanes are the
largest volume components in the 2006 chlorinated C3 stream, which is approximately 90.5%;
the propenes are approximately 10% with other unidentified porpenes present as no more than
4%.

The sponsor proposed the use of 1,2-dichloropropane (CASRN 78-87-5) as a supporting
chemical for health effects and aquatic toxicity endpoints on the basis of its "high volume
percent of the stream" and "comparative toxicity with most of the lesser components of the
stream." The physical chemical properties of 1,2-dichloropropane are similar to those for
2,3 dichloropropene or 1,3-dichloropropene. For example, the boiling points and vapor pressure
are 94-95, 94, and 108 °C and 50, 45 and 28 mm Hg, respectively; and thus the vapor
composition of the stream will be similar to that of the liquid form of the chemical. In addition,
these chemicals have high water solubility and a low partition coefficient values (approximately
2.0).

The limited toxicity data provided for 2,3-dichloropropene (CASRN 77-88-6), which is present
in the 2006 chlorinated C3 stream sample at a maximum volume of 5% wt, indicated that
2,3-dichloropropene has greater acute oral, dermal and inhalation toxicities than
1,2-dichloropropane. However, in the stream, the toxicity will be mostly dominated by the
highest volume percentage of the components. Based on the concerns that the chlorinated C3
stream has variable composition, this hazard assessment needs to be considered with caution
because it is based on the submitted toxicity data for the supporting chemical,
1,2-dichloropropane.

Conclusion: C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream (CASRN 68390-96-5) is a mixture of several
chlorinated 3-carbon chemicals which are produced as intermediate streams from manufacturing
product lines. The composition of this substance is variable, but a commercial mixture was
shown to contain 1,2-dichloropropane (CASRN 78-87-5; 85% wt maximum), 2,3-
dichloropropene (CASRN 78-88-6; 5% wt maximum), 3,3-dichloropropene (CASRN 563-57-5;
5% wt maximum), and 2,2-dichloropropane (CASRN 594-20-7; 5.5% maximum). The
remainder of this mixture is composed of other chlorinated propenes with no other single
component present at more than 4% of the total stream. The components of C3 chlorinated
hydrocarbon stream are liquids, with high vapor pressure and moderate to high water solubility.
The components of C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream are expected to have high mobility in
soil. Volatilization is expected to be high for the components of C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon
stream. The rate of hydrolysis is negligible for most components; however, 2,2-dichloropropane
(CASRN 594-20-7) has a moderate hydrolysis rate under environmental conditions. The rate of
atmospheric photooxidation is moderate to negligible. The components of C3 chlorinated
hydrocarbon stream are expected to have moderate to high persistence (P2-P3) and low
bioaccumulation potential (Bl).

Oral

(1)	In an NTP, 13-week study, Fischer 344 rats (10/sex/dose) were administered
1,2-dichloropropane (99.4% purity) via gavage in corn oil, 5 days/week, at 0, 60, 125, 250, 500
or 1000 mg/kg-day. The animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs; body weights
were recorded; necropsies were performed and microscopic examinations were conducted on
animals from control and 500 and 1000 mg/kg-day groups. All animals at 1000 mg/kg-day and
5/10 males at 500 mg/kg-day died. At 500 mg/kg-day, final mean body weights were decreased
by 16% in males and 8% in females. Centrilobular congestion was seen in the liver of

5/10 males and 2/10 females (deceased) given 1000 mg/kg-day. In addition, hepatic fatty change
and centrilobular necrosis were observed in 1/10 females (deceased) at 1000 mg/kg-day.

LOAEL = 500 mg/kg-day (based on mortality and effects on body weights and liver)

(2)	In another NTP 13-week, B6C3F1 mice (10/sex/dose) were administered
1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) via gavage in corn oil, 5 days/week at 0, 30, 60, 125, 250 or
at 500 mg/kg-day. The animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs; body weights
were recorded; necropsies were performed and microscopic examinations were conducted on
animals from control and 500 mg/kg-day groups. One male given 60 mg/kg-day died during the
first week of the study and one female given 500 mg/kg-day died during week 12. In males body
weights were decreased (approximately 4-5%) at 30 and 500 mg/kg-day; in females body
weights were decreased (3-4%) at 250 and 500 mg/kg-day compared to controls. No treatment-

(3)	In an NTP chronic toxicity/oncogenicity study, Fischer 344 rats (50/sex/dose) were
administered 1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) via gavage, in corn oil, at 0, 62, or

125 mg/kg-day (males) and 0, 125 or 250 mg/kg-day (females), 5 days/week for 103 weeks. The
animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs; body weights were measured; necropsies
and microscopic examinations were conducted on all animals. A dose-related reduction in body
weight was seen. Final body weights were approx. 5% lower than control at 60 or 62 mg/kg-day,

and 14% and 24% lower than control at 125 and 250 mg/kg-day in males and females,
respectively. The survival of females at 250 mg/kg-day was significantly (P<0.001) less than
that at 125 mg/kg-day and controls. Mortality and morbidity was significant at wk 94 of the
study. Survival in males was comparable at all doses. Non-neoplastic changes were seen only in
females at 250 mg/kg-day and include the incidence of hepatic foci of clear change (22% versus
6% in controls) and liver necrosis (focal and centrilobular combined; 18% versus 2% in
controls).

administered 1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) via gavage, in corn oil, at 0, 125 or
250 mg/kg-day, 5 days/week for 103 weeks. The animals were observed for mortality and
clinical signs; body weights were measured; necropsies and microscopic examinations were
conducted on all animals. Mean body weights of treated and vehicle control animals were
comparable. No treatment-related clinical signs were noted. The survival of females at
250 mg/kg-day was significantly (P<0.035) lower than at 125 mg/kg-day and controls with 70%,
58%) and 52% of animals surviving to study termination at control, 125 mg/kg-day and
250 mg/kg-day, respectively. Survival in males was comparable for all groups with 70%, 66%
and 70% alive at wk 103 for the control, 125 and 250 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. The
report notes that the lower survival in female mice was related to an increased incidence of
reproductive tract infections in animals that died before the end of the study (45%, 64% and 64%
at control, 125 and 250 mg/kg-day, respectively). In male mice, hepatocytomegaly (6%, 10%
and 30% at control, 125 and 250 mg/kg-day, respectively) and hepatic focal necrosis (4%, 10%
and 20%) at control, 125 and 250 mg/kg-day, respectively) were seen. Acanthosis of the surface
epithelium of the forestomach occurred at increased incidence in high dose males (0%, 0%, 4%)
and both groups of females (0%, 10%, 8%). Suppurative inflammation (affecting ovary, uterus
or multiple organs, and a presumed consequence of reproductive tract infection) was found in
5/11 control, 9/14 low dose and 14/22 high dose females that died before the end of the study.

1,2-dichloropropane (99.4% purity) vapor at 0, 15, 50 or 150 ppm (approximately 0, 0.068,
0.225, and 0.675 mg/L-day, respectively) 6 hr/day, 5 d/week. The following parameters were
evaluated: clinical signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalyses, organ weights, necropsy
observations and histopathology examination. Body weights at 150 ppm were significantly (7%
females and 10% males, significance not provided) decreased; smaller decreases (4-8%) were

seen at 50 ppm. Several slight but statistically significant effects on organ weights were noted in
rats exposed to 50 and 150 ppm: increased relative brain weight (8%), and relative heart weight
(6%) were seen in males and decreased absolute brain weight in females at 50 ppm. These
changes were considered secondary to lower body weights.

Histopathological effects were limited to the upper respiratory tract. Very slight to slight
degeneration of olfactory mucosa in the anterior portion of the nasal cavity and very slight to
slight hyperplasia of the respiratory mucosa were seen for all rats exposed to 50 and 150 ppm
with slight nasal epithelial hyperplasia in the animals at 15 ppm. The hyperplasia, which is
focally restricted to the anterior portion of the nasal tissue, was considered by the study
pathologist to be an adaptive, protective response.

or 0.675 mg/L-day, respectively) 6 hr/day, 5 days/weeks. The following parameters were
evaluated: clinical signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalyses, organ weights, necropsy
observations and histopathology examination. Evaluation of hematology parameters showed
slightly but significantly decreased red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin (HGB)
concentration in male mice at 15 and 150 ppm. Females were not affected. Packed cell volume
(PCV) was statistically significantly increased at 15 ppm only. Since there was no clear dose
response and in absence of corresponding histopathology, these effects were considered to be of
questionable significance. No abnormalities during necropsy and histopathological examinations
were seen.

0.675, 2.25 or 4.5 mg/L-day, respectively) 6 hr/day, 5 days/week. The following parameters
were evaluated: clinical signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, organ weights, necropsy
observations and histopathology examination. There were no clinical signs or effects on body
weight. Effects on hematology parameters include decreased RBC counts at in rabbits exposed
to 150 ppm (10%), males only), 500 ppm (approx. 15-20%), both sexes) and 1000 ppm (approx.
20-25%o, both sexes). HGB was decreased at 500 ppm (10-13%>, both sexes) and 1000 ppm
(14-16%o, both sexes). PCV (packed cell volume) was decreased (11-15%, both sexes) at 500
ppm and (17%, both sexes) at 1000 ppm. Increased MCV (mean corpuscular volume) and MCH

(mean corpuscular hemoglobin) values were noted in both sexes, in a non-significant but dose-
related manner. In addition, the number of nucleated erythrocytes was non-significantly
increased in males exposed to 1000 ppm, while the percentage of reticulocytes (regenerative
response) was increased significantly at 500 (approx. 2-fold) and 1000 ppm (3-4 fold) in both
sexes. Overall, these findings were consistent with regenerative macrocytic normochromic
anemia.

Absolute liver weights for males exposed to 500 and 1000 ppm were significantly increased by
approx. 25-30%; and relative liver weights were significantly increased by approx. 20%.
However, these values were within the historical control rage and were not considered treatment
related. No other organ weight changes or gross lesions were present. Bone marrow hyperplasia
(regenerative response) was present in some rabbits exposed to 500 and 1000 ppm, with a
qualitative increase in hemosiderin-laden macrophages present in bone marrow in animals
exposed to 1000 ppm. Minimal degeneration of olfactory epithelium occurred in nasal tissue in
males from all groups, including the controls, however the prevalence in males exposed to
1000 ppm (5/7 affected, versus 2/7 controls) was considered suggestive of a treatment-related
effect. No other treatment related histopathological changes were observed.

In a two-generation study, Sprague-Dawley rats (30/sex/dose) were administered 1,2-
dichloroprapane via the drinking water at 0, 0.024, 0.1, or 0.24% (equivalent to approximately 0,

females, respectively). After approx. 10 wks treatment, animals were mated (F0) to produce the
F1 litters. Thirty males and 30 females from the F1 litters were randomly selected to be the
parents of the next generation and following approximately 12 week-treatment, the F1 adults
were mated to produce the F2 litters. F1 and F2 litters were reduced to 8 pups (4 males and
4 females) per litter. Litters with 8 or fewer pups were not culled. Parental observations
included body weight, food and water consumption necropsy observations, organ weights,
hematology parameters and histopathological examination of reproductive organs. Litter
observations included litter size, weight and sex of each pup, number of live ad dead pups on

PND 0-21, and physical abnormalities at birth or during lactation period. From F0 and F1
generations, 10 pups/sex/dose were randomly selected for necropsy at weaning; liver and kidney
were weighed and hematology parameters were evaluated.

The food consumption was decreased sporadically. There was a dose-related decrease in water
consumption from both F0 and F1 generations, presumably because of reduced palatability at the
mid and high dose. Overall water consumption of the high-dose males and pregnant females was
50-60% of control and 70% of control in lactating females. Water intake in the mid-dose males
and pregnant females was 70-80% of control and in lactating females it was 75-86% of control.
Body weights of high-dose females of F0 and F1 generations were 5 and 11% lower than control
during premating, 10-12%) lower during gestation and approximately 15% during lactation.
Gestation body weight gains were decreased by approximately 20% in F0 and F1 females given
0.24% test substance and by 7-13% in females given 0.1% test substance. There were no
significant treatment-related differences in male and female reproductive performance.

Increased kidney weights were noted in males and females dosed at 0.24%.

Treatment-related histological changes were limited to increased hepatocellular granularity
(adaptive change) in males and females of both generations at all dose levels. The incidence in
high dose females (17% and 10% for F0 and Fl, respectively) and high dose F1 males (13%)
appears greater than control (0 - 2% for all sex/generation groups). All other tissues, including
reproductive organs from both sexes, were unremarkable.

There were no significant treatment-related external observations or difference in sex ratio in
either generation. The number of pups born alive was similar in the control and test groups from
both phases of the study, however postnatal survival in high dose Fl litters was significantly
lower than control while that of the high dose F2 litters was 10% lower than controls on PND 14
and 21. Bodyweights for high dose F0 neonates were significantly decreased compared to
controls. Bodyweights of Fl litters were less severely affected (4 - 7% reduction), and attained
significance only on lactation day 21.

An increased hemoglobin concentration in high dose Fl males and an increased mean relative
kidney weight in high dose Fl females appeared related to a lowered water intake and body
weight, respectively. All other hematological and gross necropsy observations were comparable
to control in both the Fl and the F2 generations.

(1)	In a prenatal developmental toxicity study, pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (30/dose) were
administered 1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) in corn oil via gavage at 0, 10, 30, or

125 mg/kg-day during gestation days 6-15. Maternal observations included clinical signs, food
and water intake, body weight measurements and liver, kidney, spleen and gravid uterine
weights. Fetal observations included the number of corpora lutea, the number and position of
implantations, and the number of live and dead fetuses, sex and body weight of each fetus, gross
external alterations, visceral alterations and skeletal abnormalities.

Clinical signs (decreased movement and muscle tone, increased lacrimation, decreased extensor
reflex and increased salivation) were present at 125 mg/kg-day group animals on GD 6 and to a
lesser extent on GD 7. Despite the transitory nature of these changes, they appeared indicative of
an adverse effect in dams at the high dose. Body weights were slightly (3-5%) but significantly
lower (significance not provided) in 125 mg/kg-day dams throughout the study. Body weight
gain was significantly lower (significance not provided) in 125 mg/kg-day dams on GD 6-9. The
overall weight gain in the 125 mg/kg-day group was approx. 30% lower than controls during
GD 6-16. Food consumption was reduced approximately 25% on GD 6-9, and water
consumption increased by the same amount on GD 9-12 and 12-15. There were no significant
effects on absolute or relative organ weights, or on uterine weights or pregnancy parameters
(including number of litters, corpora lutea per dam, implantations per dam, live fetuses per litter,
resorptions, fetal body weight). The only treatment-related effect was a significant increase in
the incidence of delayed ossification of the bones of the skull among fetuses at 125 mg/kg-day.

One rabbit from the high dose group died on GD 22; no cause of death could be identified at
necropsy. The remainder of the high dose does exhibited intermittent anorexia. There were no
other significant changes in behavior or demeanor among rabbits during the course of the study.
Body weight gain among the high dose does was significantly (significance not provided) lower
than that of the controls (165 g compared to a net gain of 49 g in the controls during GD 7-20),
although there was no effect on absolute body weights. At 150 mg/kg-day decreases in red cell
counts, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit; all decreased by 18-20% while platelet and
white cell counts were increased 20-25%. The percentage of reticulocytes was approximately
doubled at 150 mg/kg-day animals when compared to the controls. There were no significant
effects on absolute or relative organ weights, or on uterine weights or pregnancy parameters
(including number of litters, corpora lutea per dam, implantations per dam, live fetuses per litter,
resorptions, fetal body weight). There was no increase in the incidence of malformations in any

Carcinogenicity

C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream (CASRN 68390-96-5)

No data.

1,2-Dichloropropane (CASRN 78-87-5, supporting chemical)

(1) In an NTP toxicity and carcinogenicity study, Fischer rats (50/sex/dose) were administered
1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) via gavage, in corn oil, at 0, 62 and 125 mg/kg-day
(males) and 0, 125, 250 mg/kg-day (females) for 103 weeks. No significant or treatment-related
increase in tumor incidence was observed in male rats given 0, 62 or 125 mg/kg-day fori 03 wk.
Female rats given 125 or 250 mg/kg-day showed a positive trend for mammary adenocarcinoma
incidence (adjusted rates: 3%, 5%, 27%), which was increased significantly in the high dose group.
These were neither metastatic, anaplastic, nor highly invasive, and were diagnosed by some NTP
pathologists as highly cellular fibroadenomas. Affected high dose females showed a marked
decrease in survival (32% alive at study end versus 74%-86% in the control and low-dose groups)
and a significant reduction (>20%) in body weight, suggesting that 250 mg/kg bw/day was in excess
of the Maximum Tolerated Dose for the test substance. There was no increase in liver tumors despite
the occurrence of chronic histopathological changes, including foci of clear change and necrosis.
Based on these findings, NTP concluded that "under the conditions of this study, there was no
evidence that 1,2-dichloropropane was a carcinogen in male rats receiving 62 or 125 mg/kg-day.
For female rats, there was equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity in that 250 mg/kg-day

(2) In an NTP toxicity and carcinogenicity study, B6C3F1 mice (50/sex/dose) were administered
1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) via gavage, in corn oil, at 0, 125, 250 mg/kg-day for
103 weeks. Dose-related increases were observed for adenomas of the liver in both male (control,
7/50; low-dose, 10/50; high-dose, 17/50) and female (1/50, 5/50, 5/50) mice. The increase in the
frequency of liver carcinomas supported the evidence that there was a neoplastic response in the
mouse liver for both sexes (males, 11/50, 17/50, 16/50; females: 1/50, 3/50, 4/50). Hepatcytomegaly
and hepatic necrosis were increased in male mice, but not in female mice. NTP concluded that "there
was some evidence of carcinogenicity for male and female B6C3F1 mice exposed to
1,2-dichloropropane, as indicated by increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms, primarily
adenomas."

1,2-Dichloropropane showed increased tumor incidence in this assay.

1,2-Dichloropropane (CASRN 78-87-5, supporting chemical)

In a 13-week neurotoxicity study, Fischer 344 rats (15/sex/dose) were administered
1,2-dichloropropane (>99% purity) via gavage, in corn oil, at 0, 20, 65 and 200 mg/kg-day.

After 13-wk treatment, 4 rats/sex/dose were selected for terminal examinations. The remaining
rats were allowed a 9-wk recovery period, and 5 rats/sex/dose were taken for necropsy. All rats
survived the 13-wk treatment period. Clinical signs included lacrimation and blinking in a dose-
dependent manner on the first day, with decreased spontaneous motor activity (for up to 4 hr
post-treatment in the high dose group). No effect on motor activity was noticeable in the low-
and mid dose groups by day 3, or in the high dose animals by day 4. No other treatment-related

clinical signs were present. At 200 mg/kg-day, males had a significant decrease in body weight
during the first week which persisted throughout the 13-wk dosing period (6-10% reduction
overall). At 65 mg/kg-day, the decrease in body weights of males was seen which was not
always significant. In females, body weights were also slightly decreased (equivocal,
non-significant effect). During functional observation battery evaluation, no differences were
seen between control and treated animals at any intervals. No significant differences between
control and treated animals were noted in motor activity parameters. There was a slight but
significant decrease in body temperature at 200 mg/kg-day at the end of the main phase of the
study (0.6 °C reduction in females, 0.3 °C reduction in males). No treatment-related changes
were seen at necropsy. Absolute brain weight was decreased by approx. 10% at 200 mg/kg-day
animals, probably reflecting the lower body weight. Relative brain weight was marginally
increased. No treatment-related changes were seen during the histopathological examination.

Recovery animals showed continued decreases in body weights at 200 mg/kg-day throughout the
9-wk recovery phase (significant 8% decrease in high dose males at wk 22). Males at
65 mg/kg-day and females at 200 mg/kg-day showed a non-significant 3-4% reduction in body
weights over the same period. Body temperature differences at 200 mg/kg-day generally
remained during the recovery period (significantly decreased by 0.6 - 1.0 degree C in females
throughout recovery phase, 0.3-0.5 degree C reduction in males during wk 1-4 only). No gross
lesions were identified at necropsy.

Conclusion: No human health data are available for C3 chlorinated hydrocarbon stream. Data
for supporting chemical 1,2-dichloropropane are used to address all SIDS endpoints.

Acute oral and dermal toxicity of the supporting chemical 1,2-dichloropropane in rats and
rabbits, respectively, is low. Acute inhalation toxicity in rats is moderate. In a 13-week
repeated-dose toxicity gavage study in rats, mortality, decreased body weight and liver effects
(centrilobular congestion, hepatic fatty change and centrilobular necrosis) were seen at
> 500 mg/kg-day. The NOAEL is 250 mg/kg-day. In a 13-week repeated-dose toxicity gavage
study in mice, no significant effects were seen; the NOAEL is 500 mg/kg-day.

In 103-week toxicity and carcinogenicity gavage study in rats, the NOAEL for males is 62
mg/kg-day based on effect on body weight at > 125 mg/kg-day; the NOAEL for females is
125 mg/kg-day based on mortality and effect on body weight and liver at > 250 mg/kg-day. In
mice, following 103 weeks of repeated gavage administration of 1,2-dichloropropne, liver and
stomach lesions were noted at >125 mg/kg-day; NOAEL is not established.

Following repeated inhalation exposure to rats for 13 weeks, 1,2-dichlorproapane resulted in
effect on body weight and nasal epithelial hyperplasia at >15 ppm (-0.068 mg/L-day); the
NOAEC is not established. Inhalation exposure of mice to 1,2-dichlorproapane for 13 weeks

23

resulted in no significant effects; the NOAEC is 150 ppm (0.675 mg/L-day), the highest
concentration tested. In rabbits, inhalation exposure of to 1,2-dichlorproapane for 13 weeks
resulted in effects on hematology parameters in males >150 ppm (0.675 mg/L-day) and in
females > 500 ppm (2.25 mg/L-day); for males NOAEC is not established; while in females the
NOAEC is 150 ppm (0.675 mg/L-day).

In a 2-generation reproductive toxicity study in rats via drinking water with supporting chemical,
1,2-dichloropropane, parental systemic toxicity NOAEL is 0.024% (20-30 mg/kg-day) based on
decreased body weights at >0.1%; the NOAEL for reproductive toxicity is 0.24%

(130-250 mg/kg-day), the highest dose tested at the limit of solubility and the NOAEL for
offspring toxicity is 0.1% (70-130 mg/kg-day) based on effect on body weight.

In a prenatal developmental toxicity gavage study of supporting chemical, 1,2-dichlorpropane, in
rats, the NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity is 30 mg/kg-day based on decreased
body weights in dams and delayed ossification of skull bones in pups, respectively, at
125 mg/kg-day. In the prenatal developmental toxicity gavage study of supporting chemical,
1,2-dichlorpropane in rabbits, the NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity is
50 mg/kg-day based on decreased body weights and effect on hematology parameters in does
and delayed ossification of skull bones in pups, respectively, at 150 mg/kg-day.

The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane is weakly mutagenic in bacteria and mutagenic in
mammalian cells in vitro. The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane induced chromosomal
aberrations in vitro but did not increase micronuclei in mice in vivo. The supporting chemical,
1,2-dichloropropane induced sister chromatid exchanges in vitro but it did not induce dominant
lethal mutations in vivo. The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane is irritating to rabbit skin
and eyes. In the mouse local lymph-node assay, 1,2-dichloropropane was not a skin sensitizer.
The supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane increased tumor incidence in mice but showed
equivocal evidence of an increased tumor incidence in rats. In a 13-week neurotoxicity study in
rats, the supporting chemical, 1,2-dichloropropane did not show neurotoxicity when
administered up to 200 mg/kg-day.

1,2-dichloropropane under flow-through conditions for 28 days. A 28-day NOEC of 4.1 mg/L
was reported.

28-day NOEC = 4.1 mg/L
Toxicity Aquatic Plants

1,2-Dichloropropane (CASRN 78-87-5, supporting chemical)

Diatoms (Skeletonema costatum) were exposed to unspecified measured concentrations of
1,2-dichlorpropane under static conditions for 120 hours. A 72-hour EC50 of 14.7 mg/L (growth)
and a 72-hour EC50 (biomass) of 15.1 were reported.

72-hour EC50 =14.7 mg/L (growth)

72-hour EC50 =15.1 mg/L (biomass)

Conclusion: For ecotoxicity, data for all endpoints are based on the supporting chemical of
1,2-dichloropropane. The 96-h LC50 values for chlorinated C3 stream for fish range between 130
and 320 mg/L. The chronic 28-day toxicity values for chlorinated C3 stream for fish range
between 6 and 11 mg/L. The 48-h LC50 values for chlorinated C3 stream for aquatic
invertebrates range between 24 and 120 mg/L. The chronic 21-day NOEC values for chlorinated
C3 stream for aquatic invertebrates range between 4.1 and 8.3 mg/L. The 72-h EC50 of
chlorinated C3 stream for aquatic plants is 14.7 mg/L (growth) and 15.1 mg/L (biomass).
