Brief History
2012 US EPA final based on liver tumorsDerived values for leukemia and liver
• 2008 MassDEP based on leukemia and liver• 2008 US EPA draft based on leukemia• 2010 NRC Review lacked consensus on
leukemia• 2011 US EPA Interagency draft based on
leukemia
3
Why did we review PCE?
• Basis of US EPA 2012 value different from – MassDEP’s 2008 and 1990– US EPA 2008 and 2011
• NRC Committee did not reach consensus• US EPA 2012 two IURs >10-fold different• US EPA 2012 liver-based IUR differed
substantially from US EPA 2008 liver and leukemia-based IUR
4
ORS Process
• Review recent data, primary literature, models• MassDEP Health Effects Advisory Committee• Authors of US EPA Harmonized PBPK model• Address concerns from NRC & interested parties– High leukemia background rate– Dose response– NTP data– Relevance to humans– Up to date PBPK model
5
Decisions
• US EPA harmonized PBPK model should be used
• JISA 1993 bioassay should be used not NTP 1986
• Leukemia data should be used to derive PCE cancer risk values
• Total metabolized PCE should be used for interspecies extrapolation instead of total PCE
6
Leukemia Endpoint
• Background rate high but…– Treated animal rate higher
• Earlier and more severe in treated animals• Statistically significant dose-response
NTP & JISA• No data to rule out relevance to humans
7
Derivation
• JISA 1993 (0, 50, 200, 600 ppm)• Males and Female Rats• Harmonized PBPK model• Total Metabolized Dose
8
Cancer Risk Values
• Inhalation and oral values are based on same extrapolation from inhalation studies
• Inhalation unit risk (IUR)3 x 10-6 per ug/m3
• Oral cancer slope factor (CSF)2 x 10-2 per mg/kg/day
