Health and Safety Code Section 39650 sets f o r t h t h e Leg is la tu re 's

f i nd ings w i t h respect t o substantes which may be t o x i c ai'r contaminants. The

Leg is la tu re has declared:

"That pub l i c health, safety, and welfare may be endangered

by the emission i n t o t h e ambient a i r o f substances which

are de tem i ned t o be carcinogenic, t e r a t ogenic , mutagenic,

o r otherwise t o x i c o r i l l j u r i o u s t o humans. I1

The f ind ings a lso inc lude d i r e c t i v e s w i th respect t o the cons iderat i on of

s c i e n t i f l c evidence and the basis f o r regulatory action. With respect t o the

con t ro l of t o x i c a i r contaminants, t he Legis la ture has declared:

"That i t i s t he pub l i c p o l i c y of t h i s s ta te t h a t emissions

of t o x i c a i r contaminants should be con t ro l l ed t o l e v e l s

which prevent h a m t o the pub l i c health."

The Legis la ture has f u r t h e r declared tha t , "whi le absolute and undisputed

With respect t o t he evaluat ion of substances, t h e Legis la ture has

declared t h a t t he best ava i lab le s c i e n t i f i c evidence, gathered from both

pub l i c agencies and p r i v a t e sources, inc lud ing industry, should be used. The

Leg is la tu re has a lso determined t h a t t h i s informat ion should be reviewed by a

t h a t the DHS consider a l l avai lable s c i e n t i f i c data, including, but not

Relations, in ternat ional and federal health agencies, pr iva te industry,

academic researchers, and publ i c health and environmental organizations. To

f a c i l i t a t e the i den t i f i ca t i on o f a l l avai lable data p r i o r t o formally

requesting the DHS evaluation, we sent a l e t t e r t o owners o f potent ial sources

of EDB emissions i n Cal i fo rn ia and other interested members o f the publ ic

requesting t h a t they submit any information they considered pert inent t o the

DHS evaluation. We also received a reference search on EDB health e f fec ts

using the MEDLARS I1 and DIALOG Information Services and included a

bibliography from tha t search i n our request f o r information. The data

compiled i n the search were provided t o the DHS. Also, the DHS report and our

draf t repor t were released t o the publ ic upon completion on December 14, 1984;

providing addit ional time during our preparation o f the repor t t o the SRP f o r

the publ i c ' s preparation o f coments. These reports were also provided t o the

SRP on t h a t date.

Section 39660 speci f ies t ha t the DHS evaluation sha l l assess the

a v a i l a b i l i t y and qua l i t y o f data on health effects, including potency, mode o f

action, and other relevant b io log ica l factors o f the substance. Section 39660

also requires t h a t the DHS evaluation contain an estimate o f the levels o f

exposure which may cause or contr ibute t o adverse health effects, and, i n the

case where there i s no threshold o f s i gn i f i can t adverse health effects, the

range o f r i s k resu l t i ng from current o r ant ic ipated exposure.

F ive major issues discussed i n the DHS health e f fec ts evaluation o f ED6

are.: 1 ) Are health e f fec ts other than cancer expected t o occur a t current

ambient levels? 2) I s EDB an animal carcinogen? 3) Should EDB be considered

Page 8: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

* it

a p o t e n t i a l human carcinogen? 4) Does EDB have a threshold below which cancer

does n o t occur? and 5) What i s the range o f added l i f e t i m e cancer r i s k f o r

populat ions cont inuously exposed t o C a l i f o r n i a ' s urban a i r EDB

concentrat ions? Based on i t s review o f a l l ava i l ab le s c i e n t i f i c data, the DHS

evaluat ion concludes that : 1 ) hea l th e f f e c t s o ther than cancer are n o t

- expected t o occur a t cu r ren t ambient l eve l s ; 2) t he DHS s t a f f agrees w i t h the

In te rna t iona l Agency f o r Research on Cancer (IARC) t h a t EDB i s an animal

carcinogen; 3 ) s ince EDB i s a potent animal carcinogen, i t should be

considered a p o t e n t i a l human carcinogen; 4 ) EDB should be t rea ted as a

carcinogen without. a threshold; and 5 ) the added 1 i f e t i m e cancer r i s k from

ambient a i r EDB exposure ranges from 1.02 t o 5.53 cases per m i l l i o n per 10

PPt.

The DHS r e p o r t f i n d s t h a t the adverse heal th e f f e c t s i n d i c a t i v e o f

systemic t o x i c i t y o f EDB, and reproduct ive e f fec ts , occur a t l e v e l s o f

exposure t o EDB which are thousands o f t imes h igher than ambient l e v e l s l i k e l y

t o be found i n C a l i f o r n i a ' s urban a i r . Thus, the DHS concludes t h a t hea l th

e f f e c t s other than cancer are n o t expected t o occur a t cur ren t ambient leve ls .

According t o the DHS repor t , s tud ies on the mutagenic po ten t i a l o f EDB

were reviewed by the Occupational Safety and Health Admin is t ra t ion (OSHA).

EDB was shown t o have genotoxic a c t i v i t y i n a r t i f i c i a l environments outs ide o f

l i v i n g organisms ( i n v i t r o ) , and w i t h i n l i v i n g organisms ( i n v ivo). It can

induce gene mutat ion i n bacter ia, fungi, p lants, insects, and mammalian c e l l s.

According t o the DHS repor t , animal cancer bioassays show EDB i s a po ten t

carcinogen i n both sexes i n more than one animal species. When administered

t o animals, EDB caused malignancies both a t the s i t e o f f i r s t contact (skin,

Page 9: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

forestomach, and nasal cavity) , as well a s remote s i t e s (circulatory system,

lung, and pi tu i tary , among others). Thus, the DHS agrees w i t h IARC1s

conclusion t ha t EDB is a proven animal carcinogen.

The DHS evaluation indf ca tes t ha t the one pub1 ished epidemiological study

of 161 workers fa i led t o show a s t a t i s t i c a l l y signif icant increase i n cancer

ra tes from exposure to EDB. However, the DHS agrees w i t h the authors of the

study tha t i t can neither rule out nor establish EDB as a human carcinogen

because of the small s ize of the population studied. Since the scant human

data for carcinogenicity are inconclusive, and the animal data establish EDB

as a potent animal.carcinogen, the DHS s t a f f recommends t ha t EDB be considered

a potential human carcinogen.

To determine that a substance has a carcinogenic threshold, the DHS

requires strong positive evidence t ha t the substance acts only through

mechanisms which ought t o have a threshold. No positive evidence ex i s t s t o

suggest tha t the carcinogenicity of EDB has a threshold. The DHS report

s t a t e s tha t EDB should be treated as a carcinogen without a threshold i n

humans.

The DHS estimated the carcinogenic potency of EDB a t 20 ppm and 10 ppt by

applying the Weibull-Mu1 t is tage model, t h e mu1 t i s tage model, and the Probit

model to data from animal bioassays. Table A shows the 95 percent upper

confidence 1 imit (UCL) and the maximum likelihood risk estimates (MLE) fo r

each model' based on nasal malignancies i n male ra t s , and circulatory system

malignancies (hemangiosarcomas) i n female mice. The risk estimates using

these models a r e not grossly incompatible w i t h the results from the one small

epidemiological study.

Predictions fo r the Probit model ranged from 0-10-31 - The DHS recommends the MLE from the multistage model for hemangiosarcomas

in female mice fo r calculating the lower bound of risk. The DHS recommends

the 95" percent UCL estimate from the Weibull -Mu1 t is tage model for nasal

malignancies i n male r a t s for calculating the upper bound of risk. The DHS

s t a f f suggests t ha t we consider tha t risk estimates between these bounds

consti tute the most reasonable estimates of risk from ambient EDB exposure.

While l ess conservative risk estimates can also be defended a s reasonable, the

Page 11: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

DHS s t a f f does no t feel t h a t any can be c l ea r l y preferred, and the more 1 ,

conservative o f equally reasonable elements should const i tute the basis for

regulation. Using these bounds f o r the range o f r isk, then, the added

l i f e t i m e cancer r i s k from exposure t o EDB i n urban a i r ranges from 1.02 t o

5.53 cases per m i l l i o n per 10 ppt.

Using the range o f r i s k suggested by the DHS, we estimated the added

a t the annual average concentration o f 7.4 ppt estimated f o r the South Coast

persons exposed.

I I I. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS . . . ..

The i den t i f i ca t i on o f EDB as a t ox i c a i r contaminant i s not expected t o

r e s u l t i n any adverse environmental impacts. However, i f the Board determines

t h a t EDB i s a tox ic a i r contaminant, the Board and a i r po l lu t ion control

d i s t r i c t s w i l l be required t o evaluate the need for, and appropriate degree

of, airborne tox ic control measures. Thereafter, based on t h i s control

measure evaluation, the Board and the d i s t r i c t s may be required t o adopt

airborne tox ic control measures. Hence, the i den t i f i ca t i on o f EDB as a tox ic

a i r contaminant may ul t imately r e s u l t i n environmental benefits.

Environmental impacts i d e n t i f i e d w i t h respect t o speci f ic control measures,

w i l l be included i n the consideration o f such control measures pursuant t o

Sections 39665 and 39666.

SUMMARY

Par t A o f the ethylene dibromide (EDB) repo r t t o the S c i e n t i f i c Review

Panel includes informat ion on 1 ) EDB sources and emissions i n Ca l i fo rn ia ; 2 )

atmospheric persistence o f EDB; 3 ) EDB concentrations i n ambient a i r ; and 4) .

other routes o f exposure t o EDB. I n 1983, about 360 tons o f EDB were emit ted

from pes t i c ide appl icat ions , represent ing 96 percent o f t o t a l emissions.

Since near ly a l l pes t i c i da l uses o f EDB are now prohib i ted, the marketing and

use o f leaded gasoline w i l l be the primary sources o f EDB emissions i n

Ca l i fo rn ia . EDB i s pers is ten t i n the atmosphere, having an estimated h a l f

l i f e o f about 50 days. Recent ambient monitor ing i n the South Coast A i r Basin

i d e n t i f i e d a d a i l y range between 4.005 and .18 ppb w i t h an annual average o f

.0074 ppb. P r i o r t o the recent EPA ban on pes t i c i da l use o f EDB, about 32

percent o f t o t a l EDB exposure i n C a l i f o r n i a was from a i r and about 57 percent

was from foods. We estimate t h a t 75 percent o f current EDB exposure i s from

a i r . We have no recent ambient a i r data f o r other areas o f C a l i f o r n i a and

therefore are unable t o estimate such exposures. Such data would be obtained

dur ing the r i s k management phase as p a r t o f the development o f con t ro l

measures.

I n 1982, about 85,000 tons o f EDB were produced i n the Uni ted

states.=' This amount r e f l e c t s a decrease o f 31 percent from 1977,

p r i m a r i l y due t o the decrease i n leaded gasoline production. 'EDB i s used as a

waxes, i n the manufacture o f dyes, pharmaceuticals and other organic

compounds, and as a pest ic ide. EDB i s n o t ava i lab le as a consumer

EDB i s n o t produced i n Ca l i f o rn ia ; i t i s imported from other states. The

only known uses o f EDB i n C a l i f o r n i a are f o r pes t i c i da l purposes and as a lead

scavenger i n leaded gasoline. An ARB survey o f EDB manufacturers shows

pest ic ides conta in ing 448 tons o f EDB were shipped i n t o Ca l i f o rn ia i n 1983.

I n 1983, 362 tons o f EDB were repor ted t o the Department o f Food and

Agr icu l tu re (DFA) as used f o r fumigation. The f a t e o f the remaining 86 tons

included fumigat ion o f s o i l , s tored g ra ins and f r u i t s , g ra in m i l l s and

termi t e - i n fested areas. I n September 1983, EPA announced the cancel 1 a t i on o f

nearly a l l of the agr icul tural uses of EDB in California have ceased, a s of

October 1984.

The to t a l amouht of EDB used i n Cal i fornia decreased 22 percent from 1982

t o 1983 and 24 percent from 1983 t o 1984. 4 s9*12 / Further reductions in use

wi l l occur i n 1986 i f a proposal by LPA t o s ign i f ican t ly reduce the lead

content of gasoline is implemented. I f EPA implements i t s proposed lead

standard i n 1986, EDB use will decrease about 70 percent from 1984 t o 1986.

I f EPA does not implement t h i s standard i n 1986, EDB use will probably

decrease 49 percent from 1984 t o 1986 primarily due t o the .8 gram lead/gallon

California standard s t a r t i n g i n October 1984, and the decrease i n leaded

gasoline consumption. The ban of pes t ic ida l use s t a r t i ng in October 1984

accounts for 7 percent of t h i s decrease.

B. CURRENT AND PROJECTED STATIONARY AND MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS

Preliminary emission estimates f o r 1983 show pest ic ide appl icat ions

contributed about 95 percent of the estimable EDB emissions statewide and

about 35 percent in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The other s ta t ionary

emission sources a r e gasol ine marketing and gasol ine blending f a c i l i t i e s .

These sources contributed l e s s than one percent of the estimable EDB emissions

statewide and about 4 percent i n the SCAB. Motor vehicles contributed about 4

percent of the estimable EDB emissions statewide and about 61 percent i n the

SCAB. However, the motor vehicle emission estimate i s uncertain; motor

vehicles may contribute a subs tan t ia l ly la rger portion t o the to ta l emission

inventory. The vehicle EDB emission t e s t data base used f o r the inventory i s

very l imited. Table 1-1 summarizes the estimates of EDB emissions statewide

and i n the SCAB. Appendix F documents the methods used t o estimate EDB

emissions .

Table 1-1 shows t h a t t he p ropor t iona l con t r i bu t i on o f s ta t ionary and

o f Ca l i fo rn ia . Because the 1983 ambient EDB moni t o r i n g data are f o r the SCAB

only, an est imate was made o f the EDB emissions requi red i n the SCAB t o

account f o r the observed ambient concentrations. Assuming t h a t ARB monitor ing

data are r e f l e c t i v e o f the whole SCAB, t h i s estimate p red ic ts EDB emissions i n .

the SCAB ranging from 41 t o 67 tons per yea r ( ca l cu la t i on included i n

Appendix 6 ) . Table 1-1 shows only 11 tons per year EDB emissions i n the

SCAB. Three poss ib le explanations f o r the discrepancy between estirfiated EDE

emissions and observed ambient EDB concentrat ions i n the SCAB are: 1 ) there

are other sources o f EDB emissions i n the SCAB; 2 ) the EDB emissions from

known sources i n the SCAB are underestimated; o r 3 ) uncer ta in t ies i n the

moni tor ing data.

Because the ambient EDB concentrations i n the SCAB ind i ca te EC6 emissions

l a r g e r than the estimated 11 tons per year, we looked f o r other possible

sources o f EDB emissions. Fumigated produce imported i n t o the SCAB were

evaluated as a possible source o f EDB emissions. The method f o r ca l cu la t i ng

EDB emissions from t h i s source ( inc luded i n Appendix F) shows imported

fumigated produce account f o r l ess than one ton per year o f EDB emissions i n

the SCAB. Thus, the estimated EDB emissions i n the SCAB do no t account f o r

the observed ambient EDB concentrations.

Excluding EDB pes t i c ide emissions, a l l o f the EDB emission estimates i n

Table 1-1 are based on l i m i t e d data. Addi t ional t e s t i n g o f EDB emissions from

s ta t ionary and mobile sources i s planned p r i o r t o considering cont ro l measures

f o r these sources.

Recent trends in ED0 uses i n California were evaluated to predict future

stationary and mobile source EDB emi ssions. EDB emissions from pesticide use

decreased almost 20 percent from 1982 to 1983.4'12' Gasol ine-related ED0

emissions will decrease with decreasing leaded gasoline production. A lead

content standard of 1.1 grams lead per gallon was i n effect in 1983 and i s the

basis for the baseline emission estimates. A 0.8 gram lead per gallon

standard went into effect October 1 , 1984 and a 0.1 gram lead per gallon

standard has been proposed by EPA t o go 1 nto effect i n 1986. ED0 emissions

from mobile sources will decrease with the phase-out of leaded gasoline.

B. FORMATION AND FATE IN THE ATMOSPHERE

EDB reacts slowly i n the atmosphere; i t is sl ightly l e s s reactive

photochemically than ethane. The most important photochemical reaction,

hydroxyl radical attack, occurs i n polluted a i r . EDB's hal f - l i fe under t h i s

4/ reaction i s 50 days o r longer- a t the hydroxyl radical concentration 1 x 3 5/ lo6 molecules/cm . This concentration was estimated by Calvert- as the

diurnal mean i n Los Angeles. The other known removal reactions, attack by

peroxides or ozone, ere a1 so very slow, having 100-aay half-1 ives . ' Thus,

EDB i s a persistent pollutant that can be transported long distances and i s

apt t o be present throughout an urban a i r shed.

The hydroxyl radical attack produces f ree bromine atoms or BrO radicals,

which are reactive and thus short-lived. The ultimate fa te of EDB and the

derivatives is not certain. The derivatives may become part of aerosols that

are removed by rainfal l or by dry deposition.

111. AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY

A. AMBIENT AIRDATA

The California Air Resources Board Haagen-Smit Laboratory (HSL) has been

monitoring ambient EDB a t four s i t e s i n the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) since

January 1983. These are in downtown Los Angeles (DOLA), Eominguez, El Monte,

and Riverside. All samples are collected over 24-hour periods, beginning a t

9 a.m., in Tedlar bags a t constant flow rates. Analysis of the samples i s by

gas chromatography. Details of the sampling and analytical procedures are i n

Appendix D. Samples are collected f ive days per week a t the El Monte s i t e and

about once every s ix days in DOLA, Dominguez, and Riverside.

Between January, 1983, and May, 1984, 511 samples were collected. Thirty

percent of the samples had concentrations above 5 p p t ( v ) , the minimum

reporting level. Table 111-1 summarizes the data. The mean concentrations

during 1983 ranged among the s i t e s from 5.0 t o 9.3 p p t w i t h the average for

a l l s i t e s a t 7.4 ppt.

The average ambient EDB levels for 1983 exceeded the averages for Januaky

to May, 1984, because of strong oeaks during the summer of 1983 a t three

stations. T h i s phenomenon i s inconsistent w i t h the estimated inventory for

known sources i n the SCAB in 1983, which was heavily weighted to automotive

emissions in the summer. Other pollutants that are predominantly from

vehicles ( C O and lead) are measured a t the i r lower ambient concentrations

during the summer in the SCAB and thei r higher concentrations in the winter

because of the poor dispersion in the lower atmosphere du r ing the winter.

Preliminary data for 1984 (not included i n this report) , also indicate

summertime peaks.

A second unexpected aspect of the monitoring r e su l t s i s t h a t i f the

monitoring data a r e used as an ind ica tor of emissions, the emissions should be

three to f i v e times greater than estimated. If EDB, l i k e carbon monoxide and

lead, is emitted predominantly from vehicles i n the SCAB, i t s ra t io . of ambient

concentration to emission r a t e should equal those of the l a t t e r pollutants.

However, a s de ta i led i n Appendix G , the r a t i o i s four t o s i x times higher than

expected. This could r e s u l t from any combination of three causes: ( 1 )

automotive emissions are great ly underestimated, ( 2 ) an as-yet-unknown type of

EDB source emits large amounts around the basin, o r (3 ) small unknown sources

emit upwind and near the four monitors. The analysis i n Appendix G suggests

t h a t hypothesis (1 ) i s par t ly , but not so l e ly , the cause of the discrepancy.

Attempts t o cor re la te the EDB monitoring data among s t a t i o n s , o r w i t h

ambient concentrations of CO and lead, o r w i t h various meteorological data

were a l l unsuccessful (Appendix E ) . This leaves no means of extrapolating the

data from these four s i t e s t o general ambient l e v e l s throughout the South

Coast A i r Basin. Therefore, the mean annual concentrat ion f o r the four

monitor ing s i t e s (7.4 p p t ) i s assumed t o be the year-round exposure

concentrat ion i n the basin.

The HSL moni tor ing program provides the on ly anbient EDB data gathered

fo r more than a year i n Ca l i fo rn ia . A few short-term data taken dur ing 1976

t o 1982 are ava i l ab le from other sources. They a r e shown i n Appendix E. Mean

concentrations a t two remote s i t e s were 0.0 and 5 ppt. A t s i x urban s i tes ,

mean concentrat ions ranged from 10 t o 34 ppt. These measurements probably

r e f l e c t the higher concentrations o f EDB i n gas01 i n e a t t h a t time.

B. OTHER ROUTES OF EXPOSURE TO EDB

Before the EPA banned EDB pes t i c i de uses, the Department o f Health

Services (DHS) and the C a l i f o r n i a Department o f Food and Ag r i cu l t u re (CDFA)

sampled f o r EDB i n gra in products, c i t r u s f r u i t s and wel l water i n

1 / Cal i forn ia . The DHS- found an average EDB concentrat ion o f 37 ppb i n

twenty-f ive percent o f t he gra in products sampled. Seventy-f ive percent o f

2,3/ the gra in products sampled were no t contaminated w i th EDB. The CDFA-

found EDB concentrat ions ranging from 1.2 t o 113 ppb i n c i t r u s f r u i t s and f r o n

t race amounts t o .38 ppb i n wel l water.

To ca l cu la te the d a i l y exposure t o EDB from food, data on the average

d a i l y i n take o f g ra in and c i t r u s f r u i t s were obtained from two EPA

studies.%' These studies show an a d u l t weighing 70 ki lograms consumes 133

grams o f g ra in per day and 16.8 grams o f c i t r u s f r u i t per day. ARB s t a f f

estimates d a i l y a i r and water i n t a k e are 20 mJ and two l i t e r s respect ively.

The DHS and CDFA data on food and water exposure, and the ARB data on

ambient a i r exposure were used t o est imate t o t a l d a i l y EDB exposure i n

On May 18. 1984, you requested t he Departrent of Herlth Services (DHs) t o evaluate t h e health e f fec t s of ethylene dibromide as a candidate toxic a i r contaminant. According t o Health and Safety Code Sections 39660-62, 1 have 90 days t o submit a written evaluation and recommendztions t o you.

This mem const i tu tes a formal request for the 30-day extension described in Section 39660 (d ) . As you know, The Department delivered the document describing the health e f fec t s of benzene t o ycu abcui three weeks ago. Since t ha t time, s t a f f has been devoted t o several risk assessment reviews requested by various a i r pollution control d i s t r i c t s , items considered a high priori ty by your s t a f f .

The Uepartmnt will .be conducting c iv i l service examinations in several c l a s s i f i ca t i ons i n the next four t o eight weeks fo r the express purpose of h i r ing highly qual i f ied candidates t o f i l l the four professional positions dedicated t o the toxic a i r contaminant program. I anticipate t h a t h i r i n g will begin by l a t e Septenber or early October and will be complete shortly a f t e r the f i r s t of the year. Until t h a t time, i t Kill be very d i f f i cu l t t o maintain the

7. Apparatus

7.1 The sampling system consis ts of a diaphragm pump, seven day timer,

flow indicator, pressure regulator, flow controller , flow by-pass

system and the sample bag (see Figure 2). The diaphragm pump (made

of s tee l and Teflon o r Viton construction) draws ambient a i r through

the sample system a t approximately 5 l i t e r s per minute. Thirty-five

m i l l i l i t e r s per minute of this a i r stream is sampled, the remaining

flow is by-passed and vented. The sample flows through a diaphragm

pump, a Solenoid valve, a pressure regulator ( s e t f o r 2-3 psig t o

prevent 'any accidental bu r s t i ng of over-fil led sample bags), a flow

control needle valve, a flowmeter, and in to the sample bag. A

seven-day timer regulates the sampling period.

I. AMBIENT A I R CONCENTRATIONS

The ARB'S Haagen-Smit Laboratory (HSL) monitors the ambient concentration

o f ED8 a t four s i t e s i n the South coast A i r Basin (SCAB): El Monte,

Riverside, downtown Los Angeles (DOLA), and Dominguez H i 11 s. Twenty-four hour

samples a re co l lec ted and analyzed by t he methods presented i n Appendix D.

Each o f the four s i t e s has a d i f f e r e n t sampling schedule f o r EDB. Samples are

co l l ec ted a t El Monte f i v e days each week. A t the other s i tes , samples are

co l l ec ted approximately once each week, b u t on d i f f e r e n t days a t each s i te .

(i.e., there a re two samples co l l ec ted each day, one o f which i s a t El Monte.)

Seventy percent o f a l l data taken between January 1983 and May 1984 are

l e s s than HSL's minimum repor tab le value, 5.0 par ts per t r i l l i o n , volume

(ppt ) . For s t a t i s t i c s , such data a re assigned the value 2.5 ppt. Table E-1

shows the r e s u l t i n g average concentrat ions by s ta t i on f o r 1983, f o r the f i r s t

f i v e months o f 1984, and overa l l . It a lso shows the numbers o f samples above

and below the repor t ing l i m i t . Figures E-1 through E-4 dep ic t monthly

averages over the per iod ~ a n u a r y 1983 t o May 1984.

The 1983 averages f o r DOLA, El Monte, Riverside, and Dominguez H i l l s are,

respect ively, 9.0, 9.3, 6.4, and 5.0 ppt. The mean o f these four averages i s

7.4 ppt. A t a l l stat ions, the EDB concentrations were h ighest dur ing the

summer o f 1983, although the e f f e c t i s ra ther weak a t Riverside. Data from

the summer o f 1984 are n o t y e t ava i lab le .

11. AEIALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS

The data from E l Monte were examined f o r s t a t i s t i c a l c o r r e l a t i o n w i t h

those taken on the same days a t each o f the other stat ions. No s t a t i o n ' s data

y ie lded a co r re la t i on c o e f f i c i e n t (j) above 0.35 versus El Monte. This r e s u l t

suggests t h a t each s ta t i on i s predominantly a f fected by d i f f e r e n t sources

( r e l a t i v e t o El Monte), possibly rri t h d i f f e r e n t temporal var ia t ions. A1 so,

the r a t i o o f h ighest 24-hour measurement t o annual average i s unusually high - 20 and 14 - a t DOLA and El Monte, respectively. This ind ica tes t h a t these

s i t e s are a f fec ted by nearby l o c a l i z e d sources ra ther than by emissions t h a t

are s p a t i a l l y uni form over a l a r g e area.

Page 69: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

Therefore, the data po in t to an emission pa t te rn dominated by i so la ted

sources w i th strengths varying i n time. I t i s a lso possible t h a t incons is tent

meteorology, espec ia l ly wind direct ion, could have caused o r cont r ibuted t o

the above s t a t i s i ca l patterns. However, t h i s i s u n l i k e l y because regressions

o f EDB measurements stat ion-by-stat ion against d a i l y resu l t an t wind d i rec t ions

and speeds y ie lded no correlat ions.

Tablle E-3 shows the other var iables we used i n 1 inear and mu1 t i p 1 e 1 inear

regressions against each s ta t ion 's EDB data. It ind ica tes the e f f e c t which

each independent var iab le was intended t o represent; None o f the regressions

y ie lded co r re la t i on coe f f i c i en t s greater than 0.4. This suggests t h a t the

dominant emisslon source(s) - a t l e a s t dur ing the periods o f h igh ambient

concentrations - was no t auto exhausts o r gasoline. However, because 69

percent o f the dependent var iable (EDB) data were a r b i t r a r i l y f i x e d a t a

constant value (1/2 the repor t ing l i m i t), the lack o f cor re la t ion cannot be

used t o make sound conclusions.

The lack of a correlating variable leaves no means to extrapolate the

measurements a t the monitoring sites t o the r e s t of the SCAB, other than t o

assume tha t the en t i re population i s exposed to the in ter-s i te mean, 7.4 ppt,

supporting Informat ion on EDB Emission Estimates

CALCULATION OF EDB TO LEAD RATIO

Atomic r a t i o -- 1 atom Pb: 1 atom Br (Roberts, 1980, pg 3-82)

molecular weight -- 1 mole EDB: 2(CH2Br) = 2 (12.01 + 2 (1.01) + 79.91) =

187.88

1 mole Pb: 207.19

A mole o f EDB has 2 atoms Br, therefore 0.5 mole ED0 i s required per mole Pb.

0.5 mole EDB/mole Pb = 0.5 (187.88)/(207.19) = 0.453 1b EDB/lb Pb

CALCULATIOU OF EDB CONSUMPTION IN 1983

Total lead used i n 1983: 4,228,879 k g (Morgester, 1984)

(4,228,879 kg Pb)(2.205 lb/kg)(ton/2000 l b ) = 4662 tons Pb

(4662 tons Pb/yr)(0.453 l b EDB/lb Pb) = 2112 tons EDB/yr i n leaded fue l

CALCULATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE EXHAUST EMISSIONS

Survival r a t e o f EDB -- \ r t i n exhaust/wt i n fue l = 0.37% = 0.0037 (Sigsby,

e t . al., 1982, pg 12 -- This i s based on l i m i t e d t e s t data).

(2112 tons EDB/yr i n fue l l(0.0037 exh. EDB/fuel EDB) = 7.8 tons EDB/yr

statewide

Page 74: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

Since the South Coast A i r Basin (SCAB) has 47 percent o f Ca l i f o r n i a ' s

population, assume i t accounts f o r 47 percent of the EDB consumed i n fue l

(2112 tons EDB/yr i n f u e l ) (.47) (0.0037 exhaust EDB/fuel EDB) = 3.7 tons

EDB/yr i n the SCAB.

I f the t e s t r esu l t s f o r the Mazda automobile are excluded from Sigsby's paper,

because the Mazda was reg is tered f o r unleaded fuel and many o f the t es t s

ind icated zero EDB emissions ( f rom telephone conversation w i t h Mr . Sigsby on

8/14/84], the survival r a t e o f EDB i s 0.45% which gives an estimated emissions

Of 9.5 tons EDB statewide and 4.5 tons EDB i n the SCAB.

CALCULATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

evaporative EDB = 9 x 1 o ' ~ 1 b EDB/ l b HC

(Sigsby, e t al., 1982, pg 6 - NOTE: on ly data f o r TEL fue l were used and t h i s

i s a rough value based on l l m i t e d t e s t data. However, the weight f r a c t i o n o f

ED0 t o THC i s 1.03 x 1 0 ' ~ i n the vapor phase based on Raoul t l s law. So t h i s

number appears reasonable.)

Evap. emissions from non-catalyst on-road vehicles i n 1983 = 77,771 tons HC/yr

(CARB , 1983a )

(77,771 tons ~ C / y r ) ( 9 x 10m5 i b EDB/I~ HC) = 7 tons EDB/yr statewide

Page 75: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

Applying the .47 population f ac to r f o r the SCAB:

(77,771 tons HC/yr)(.47)(9 x l b EDB/lb HC) = 3.3 tons EDB/yr i n the

SCAB

CALCULATION OF GASOLINE MARKETING EMISSIONS

I n an EPA report , the mass f r a c t i o n o f EDB i n saturated gasoline vapor f o r

0.015 Vol % EDB a t 70'F i s 5.2 x (EPA, 1984, pg 2-71. EDB i n -

these data i s therefore:

(5.2 x 1 0 ' ~ lb.EDB/lb.THC)~0.00604/0.015) = 2.1 x lb.EDB/lb.THC

The TOG'emissions from gasoline marketing, inc lud ing emissions from po in t

sources are forecasted as 36,800 tons i n 1983. Assuming TOG emissions from

leaded gasoline are proport ional t o the amount of leaded gasoline produced a t

the re f i ne r i es , 41.2 percent o f the estimated TOG emissions are from leaded

gasoline (ca lcu la ted by the percentage o f leaded gasoline t o t o t a l gasoline

output from r e f i n e r i e s - CEC, 1984, pg 30,311.

For gasoline evaporation, a ton o f TOG i s equivalent t o a ton o f THC (CARB,

1983b, pg H-17). The EDB emissions from gasoline marketing are thus:

Page 76: REPORT ON DIBROMIDE TO THE.SCIENTIFIC REVIEW  · PDF filethe Department of Health Services ... AND RESPONSES . REPORT ON ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE TO THE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PANEL OVERVIEW

EDB Ems = (36,800 tons T ~ ~ / y r ) ( 0 . 4 1 2 ) (2.1 x 1 0 ' ~ i b . ~ ~ B / l ~ . T H C )

= 0.32 tons/yr., statewide

Applying the .47 population f ac to r f o r the SCAB:

EDB Ems i n the SCAB = (0.32 ton ly r . x .47)

= .15 t on /yr.

CALCULATION OF GASOLINE PRODUCTION EMISSIONS

The estimated THC release from gasoline mixing, t ransfer and storage operation

a t Douglas re f inery i n 1979 was 38 l b / h r (Roberts, 1980. pg 3-92).

Gas01 i ne production capacity a t Douglas re f i ne ry i n 1979 was 8,500 bbl/day

(Roberts, 1980, pg 3-84). Assuming product ion a t 70% capacity, 5,950 bbl /day

o f gasoline would have been produced a t the Douglas re f inery . An emission

fac to r fo,r gasoline production ca lcu la ted from these data i s thus:

Emission Factor = (38 lb.THC/hr) (2.1 x 1 0 ' ~ 1 b.EDB/l b.THC (24hr./day

(5950 bbl /day I-'

= 3.22 x 1 0 ' ~ lb . EDB/bbl gasoline

The t o t a l leaded gasoline production i n 1983 was 119,472,000 bbls (CEC, 1984,

pg 31 I . Using these data, ED8 emissions f o r gasoline production are estimated

Applying the .47 population f ac to r f o r the SCAB:

EDB Emissions i n the SCAB = 0.19 ton/year x .47

= 0.09 ton EDB/year

EDB Emissions i n the SCAB from Produce Fumigated Outside Ca l i f o rn ia -

Emissions o f EDB could occur a t many steps i n the h i s t o r y o f an out-of-state

ESTIMATION OF EDB EMISSIONS REQUIRED TO ACCOUNT FOR OBSERVED AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS

The means o f a l l anbient EDB monitor ing data taken dur ing 1983 a t DOLA,

Dominquez, El Monte, and Riverside a re 9.0 ppt, 5.0 ppt, 9.3 pp t and 6.4 ppt,

respectively.* The mean o f these four values i s 7.4 ppt, o r .057 ug/m5. We

assume t h a t t h i s f i gu re t y p i f i e s the annual mean concentration o f the e n t i r e

SCAB.

One can estimate the emission r a t e o f EDB needed t o account f o r the mean -

observed ambient concentration. Carbon monoxide, 1 ead, and EDB are a1 1

emitted by road vehiclesn, and a1 1 have neg l i g i b l e photo-react iv i t ies .

Therefore, i f EDB, 1 i k e CO and lead, i s predominantly from vehicles, the r a t i o

o f ambient concentration t o emission r a t e should be approximately equal among

a1 1 three compounds.

Table G-1 shows the 1983 mean concentrations o f CO and lead a t the four

s ta t ions nearest the EDB monitors.

.: . scientific community, and federal, state, and local '

agencies, and that the scientific research on \rhich 1 : decisions related to health effects are based should be : reviewed by a scientific review panel and members of the

public. (e) That, while absolute and undi$utcd scientific

evidence may not be available to de:srmine the exact nature and extent of risk from toxic air contaminunts, it is necessary to take action to protect public health.

(f) That the state board has adopted regulations . regarding the identification and control of tosic ;ir , ' contaminants, but that the statutory authority of the state

board, the relationship of its proposed program to the j activities of other agencies, and the ro!e of scientific and

oi~blic review of the regulations should be clarified by the Legislature.

.

(g) That the Department of Food and Apicl;ltl;re has jurisdiction over pesticides to protect the public from

' environmentally harmful pesticides by regulating the . . i . registration and uses of pasticider. . . i lh\ T h n t while there is a statewide Dropram to control \.., ----- ....-- . ~
