The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), within the CaliforniaEnvironmental Protection Agency, has the responsibility for managing the State'shazardous-waste program to protect public health and the environment. The Office ofScientific Affairs (OSA) within the DTSC provides scientific assistance in the areas oftoxicology, risk, environmental assessment, training, and guidance to the regionaloffices within DTSC. Part of this assistance and guidance is the preparation ofregulations, scientific standards, guidance documents, and recommended proceduresfor use by regional staff, local governmental agencies, or responsible parties and theircontractors in the characterization and mitigation of hazardous-waste-substances-release sites. The CalTOX model has been developed as a spreadsheet model to assist inexposure and health-risk assessments that address contaminated soils and thecontamination of adjacent air, surface water, sediments, and ground water.

The modeling effort includes multimedia transport and transformation models,exposure scenario models, and efforts to quantify and reduce uncertainty inmultimedia, multiple-pathway exposure models. Use of the CalTOX model requiresthat we determine the intermedia transfer factors (ITFs) that define concentrationrelationships between an exposure medium and the environmental medium that isthe source of the contaminant. ITFs are chemical and physical parameters which serveas inputs in the CalTOX model analysis.

This report provides a set of ITFs needed to run the CalTOX model for 1,1Dichloroethylene (DCE). For this chemical, we have conducted a critical review ofexisting literature for measured values and estimation methods in order to computean arithmetic mean (–x), a coefficient of variation (CV), and plausible range for eachITF.

OVERVIEW

The purpose of this report is to provide a set of chemical-specific intermedia-transferfactors (ITFs) for DCE. We have carried out a critical review of the existing literature inorder to identify a mean value, coefficient of variation (CV) and value range for theITFs listed in Table 1. For values used to define a given parameter, our highest prioritywas given to experimental values reported in the primary scientific literature, that is,peer-reviewed journals. For parameters that are not readily available from the primaryliterature, widely cited secondary references such as Lyman et al. (1982, 1990),Verschueren (1984), Howard et al. (1990, 1991), Mackay et al. (1992), the CRC Handbook(1989-90) and the Merck Index (1983, 1989) are used to establish parameter values.When measured values are not available from either the primary literature orsecondary references, estimates of ITF parameter values are based on estimationequations that are available in the primary literature. Typically, these estimationmethods relate ITFs to other measured contaminant parameters using quantitative-structure-activity-relationship (QSAR) methods. In these cases, parameter valuesestimated from a QSAR method are treated as the arithmetic mean and the estimationerror of the method is used to determine the CV. Table 1 summarizes the unitsrequired by the CalTOX model, the values of chemical specific physico-chemicalproperties, distribution coefficients, biotransfer and bioconcentration factors, andtransformation half-lives obtained in this study.

CalTOX Chemical-Specific Input Requirements

The CalTOX model uses three sets of input data—one describing the chemical-specificproperties of the contaminants, a second providing properties of the environment orlandscape receiving the contaminants, and a third that defines for exposure assessmentthe characteristics of individuals in various age/sex categories and the characteristics ofthe micro-environments in which they live or from which they obtain water and food.Each of the inputs in these sets must be described in terms of a mean value with anestimated coefficient of variation, which describes the uncertainty or variabilityassociated with that parameter. This report addresses mean value, CV, and range ofvalues needed to characterize chemical-specific inputs.

Physicochemical Properties

Physicochemical properties include molecular weight, octanol-water partitioncoefficient, melting point, vapor pressure, Henry’s law constant, diffusion coefficientsin air and water, and the organic-carbon partition coefficient. The octanol-waterpartition coefficient provides a measure of the extent of chemical partitioning betweenwater and octanol at equilibrium and is used as a basis for estimating other ITFparameters. The melting point is the temperature at which a compound makes thetransition from a solid to a liquid phase. Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by achemical vapor in equilibrium with its solid or liquid phase. Water solubility is theupper limit on a chemical's dissolved concentration in pure water, at a specifiedtemperature.

Henry's law constant is a measure at equilibrium of the ratio of chemical activity inthe gas above a liquid to chemical activity in the liquid. Diffusion coefficients describethe movement of a molecule in a liquid or gas medium as a result of differences inconcentration within the medium. They are used to calculate the dispersivecomponent of chemical transport. The higher the diffusion coefficient, the more likelya chemical is to move in response to concentration gradients. The organic-carbonpartition coefficient provides a measure of chemical partitioning between organiccarbon (in soils, rocks, and sediments) and water. The higher the Koc, the more likely achemical is to bind to the solid phase of soil or sediment than to the liquid phase.

The Solid-Water Distribution Coefficients

The distribution or sorption coefficient, Kd, is the concentration ratio, at equilibrium,of chemical attached to solids and/or particles (mol/kg) to chemical concentration inthe solution, mol/L. When Koc is multiplied by the fraction organic carbon in a soil orsediment, we obtain an estimate of the soil/water or sediment/water partitioncoefficient. CalTOX requires, as input, distribution coefficients for ground-surface, root-zone, and vadose-zone soil; ground-water-zone rock or soil, and surface-watersediments.

Biotransfer Factors and Bioconcentration Factors

The CalTOX model requires, as input, general relationships that can be used toestimate partition coefficients between air and plants; between soil and plants; betweenanimal feed intake and animal-based food products; between surface water and fish;between the human mother’s uptake and breast milk; between skin and water; andbetween skin uptake and concentration in skin water.

The chemical-specific plant-air partition coefficient, Kpa , represents the ratio ofcontaminant concentration in above-ground plant parts, in mg/kg (fresh mass), tocontaminant concentration in the gas-phase of the atmosphere mg/m3 (air). The plant-soil partition coefficient, Kps, expresses the ratio of contaminant concentration in plantparts, both pasture and food, in mg/kg (plant fresh mass) to concentration in wet root-zone soil, in mg/kg.

The biotransfer factors Bt, Bk and Be are the steady-state contaminant concentrationsin, respectively, fresh meat, milk, and eggs; divided by the animals’ daily contaminantintake. These factors are expressed in units of (mg/kg)/(mg/d), or kg/d. Unlikebioconcentration factors, which express steady-state concentration ratios betweenanimal tissue and a specific environmental medium, biotransfer factors express thesteady-state relationship between intake and tissue or food-product concentrations.

Lactating women can transfer to breast milk their intake of contaminants from allintake routes—ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Bbmk is the biotransfer factorfor milk-concentration versus the mother’s intake. This relationship may also be

v

described as the ratio of contaminant concentration in mother’s milk divided by themother's daily intake of that contaminant, in units of d/kg (milk).

The bioconcentration factor BCF provides a measure of chemical partitioning betweenfish tissue based on chemical concentration in water.

Chemical specific exposure factors used in CalTOX include the skin-water and skin-soilpartition coefficients. Km is the skin-water partition coefficient in cm3 (water)/cm3

(skin) . In order to estimate the skin-soil partition factor, Ksoilm , with units

cm3 (soil)/cm3 (skin), we divide equation Km by the sorption coefficient Kd for soil, or

Ksoilm =

Km

Kd

Kp_w is the steady-state permeability coefficient in cm/hour for a contaminant fromwater on skin through stratum corneum and can either be based on a measured valueor estimated values.

Chemical-Specific Transformation Process Half-Lives

Chemical transformations, which may occur as a result of biotic or abiotic processes,can have a profound effect on the persistence of contaminants in the environment.Experimental methods and estimation methods are available for defining these fateprocesses in a variety of media. Specific information on the rates and pathways oftransformation for individual chemicals of concern should be obtained directly fromexperimental determinations, if possible, or derived indirectly from information onchemicals that are structurally similar. CalTOX makes use of media- and reaction-specific reaction half-lives to establish rate constants for transformation removalprocesses that include photolysis, hydrolysis, oxidation/reduction, and microbialdegradation.

Transformation-rate half-lives are among the more uncertain parameters in theCalTOX model. There are typically few available measurements or ranges of estimatedvalues in the primary and secondary literature. Most of the available half-life valuesare obtained from limited measurements for environmental media that are notnecessarily representative of those in California. These values often involve scientificjudgment as much as measurement. In making use of these data, we expanded therange of the reported values by a factor of 5 when only 2 or 3 representative values arepresented and by a factor of 10 when only one value is provided. If 4 or more measuredvalues are available, these uncertainty factors are not applied. In order to express thelack of reliability associated with a limited number of measured values for aparameter, these uncertainty factors are used to express both large uncertainty andsignificant variability.

vi

Statistical Methods

Each of the inputs to CalTOX must be described by a mean value and an estimatedcoefficient of variation which describes the uncertainty or variability associated withthat parameter. For input values that are derived from a number of measured values,the mean and coefficient of variation are obtained from the arithmetic mean and thearithmetic standard deviation of the inputs. For estimated input values, the mean andcoefficient of variation are obtained from an estimation equation and the residualerror of the estimation equation. The methods we used to obtain these values aredescribed here.

Mean and Coefficient of Variation

The arithmetic mean (–x) is used to represent all inputs that are derived from a numberof measured values—even those that might have geometric distributions. The (–x) iscomputed by summing the reported values and dividing this sum by the total numberof observations:

Arithmetic mean (–x) = ∑i = 1

nxi

n(Eqn. 1)

Where ∑i = 1

nxi is the sum of the observed values and n is the number of observations. In

this case, the coefficient of variation (CV) is computed by dividing the arithmeticstandard deviation (sn) by the mean. Standard deviation and CV are computedaccording to the following equations:

standard deviation (sn) = √ ∑i = 1

n

(xi - –x)2

n (Eqn. 2)

coefficient of variation (CV) = sn–x

(Eqn. 3)

It should be noted that, based on the central limit theorem of statistics, the confidenceassociated with the estimate of –x from above becomes large as the number of samplesused to estimate –x also becomes large. Therefore, the reliability of the estimates ofmean and CV of a parameter are low when the sample size is small. It is beyond thescope of this document to explicitly address the reliability of these estimates.Nonetheless, in order to give an indication of potential reliability problems, we list thenumber of measurements used to estimate the mean and CV of each parameter in thelast column of Table 1.

vii

Estimation Equations and the Residual Errors of the Estimation Method

Estimates of some CalTOX inputs are based on regression equations that relate aparameter value to some measure of structure or activity associated with thecontaminant. These methods are referred to as quantitative structure-activityrelationship (QSAR) methods. The reliability of a parameter-value estimated in thisway is defined by the precision of these QSAR methods.

Our estimate of precision in QSAR estimation methods is based on calculating, Se, thestandard error of the estimate (or standard deviation of the residuals). This errorcalculation is based on the regression equations and fragment models used to derive aparameter value. To illustrate, when the value of parameter such as the organic-carbon partition coefficient (Koc) is estimated using a regression or correlation analysis,the Se is calculated using the following approach (Hamburg, 1970). First, since it istypical that it is the log Koc (not Koc itself) that is estimated from a regression equation,we calculate the Se of log Koc according to

Se of log Kestoc = √∑

i = 1

n

(log Kmsdoc - log K

estoc )

2

(n-2) (Eqn. 4)

where n is the number of chemicals used in the estimation protocol and Kestoc refers to

the estimated property (Koc in this case) and Kmsdoc refers to the corresponding measured

values used to carry out the regression. In order to calculate the Se of Koc, we make useof the transformation

GSD (Kestoc ) = 10(Se of log K

est

oc) (Eqn. 5)

to calculate the geometric standard deviation of Se (GSD) of Kestoc , which is simply the

GSD of the Koc estimate, that is GSD (Kestoc ). It has been shown by Atchison and Brown

(1957) that the relationships between the GSD and CV for log normal distributions areas follows

GSD = exp{ }√ln(1+CV2) (Eqn. 6)

CV = √( )exp{ } [ln(GSD)]2 -1 (Eqn. 7)

viii

Since the implicit assumption of a regression for estimating the log of Koc is that anyestimated value, log (K

estoc ), is centered on normal distribution with standard deviation

equal to Se of log Koc, it follows that the corresponding estimated value of Koc iscentered on a log normal distribution with GSD (K

estoc ) and with

CV (Kestoc ) = √

exp{ } [ln(GSD(K

estoc ))]2 -1 (Eqn. 8)

This approach is used to estimate CVs for the estimation equations presented in thisdocument.

In some cases the error term, CV for example, is calculated by combining through theoperations of multiplication and division the CVs of two or more parameters. Forexample the CV in the ration H = VP/S is combined from the CV (VP) and CV (S). Inthis case, if the input parameters are independent, the combined CV is calculated usingthe following equation:

CVcombined = √∑i = 1

n

CV2i

n(Eqn. 9)

where n is the number of parameters used in the multiplication/division and CVi is

the coefficient of variation in the ith input parameter.

Background

The treatment of 1,1,2-trichlorethane with sodium hydroxide and calciumhydroxide produces crude vinylidene dichloride (DCE). Vinylidene dichloride isdetected in substantial quantities from the thermal decomposition of methylchloroform. DCE, as a precursor, precedes 1,1,1-trichloroethane and formsmodacrylic fibres and copolymers (Saran) with alkyl acrylates, methacrylates,acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, or vinyl chloride. Vinylidene chloride/vinyl chloridecoatings/copolymers (Saran B) are used for the packaging of foods, as metalcoatings in storage tanks, building structures, and tapes, and as moulded filters,valves and pipe fittings. These copolymers reinforce polyesters, inks andcomposites for furniture upholstery and other constructions. Polyvinylidenechloride or vinylidene chloride copolymerized with acrylic esters or withacrylonitrile and acrylic esters (Diofane) coat paper and board and act as flame-retardant binders in other coatings (WHO EHC 100, 1990). The high vapor pressureand low solubility of DCE favor relatively high atmospheric concentrationscompared to other environmental compartments (WHO EHC 100, 1990).Volatilization appears to be the major transport process for removal of DCE formaquatic systems. Once in the atmosphere the compound readily reacts with the(photochemically produced) hydroxyl radical (Callahan et al., 1979).

Dair = 3.6 × 10-5 T1.75 = 0.77 m2/d

The reported average absolute estimation error is 5 to 10% [Fuller et al. (1966)].This estimation error is reported as <5% for chlorinated aliphatics and equivalentto the CV reported below.

Based on the estimated value and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following statistics for the estimated air diffusion coefficient of 1,1DCE at 25 °C:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Dair = 0.77 (0.05) m2/d

Dwater: Diffusion Coefficient in Pure Water

The units used for the diffusion coefficient in pure water are meters2

day (m2/d).

Estimation Method

Based on the Wilke and Chang (1955) method described in Reid et al. (1987) thediffusion coefficient in water (m2/d) is given by:

Dwater = 6.5 × 10-7√f × My T

hy V0.6x

Wilke and Chang (1955) recommend an association factor, ƒ, of 2.6 when thesolvent is water. The viscosity of water, hy, is 0.89 cP at 25 °C. Molar volume (Vx)can be estimated by the LeBas incremental method as described in Lyman et al.(1982). With a Vx equal to 86.2 cm3/mol, a temperature (T) of 298 K, and My (MWof water) equal to 18 g/mol., this expression gives:

Dwater = 3.45 × 10-7 T = 1.0 × 10-4 m2/d

Original data for this estimation, provided in Reid et al. (1987), can be used todetermine the standard error of the estimator for this estimation method. Fromthis data we calculate a CV of 0.25 from a 25% estimation error.

Koc: Organic-Carbon Partition Coefficient

The units used for Koc are mg/kg (organic carbon)

mg/kg (water) and Koc is therefore unitless.

Experimental Values

From the measured value above, and the assumption that the CV in thismeasurement is 1, we obtain the following statistics for the organic carbonpartition coefficient:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Koc = 4.1 (1)

Estimation Method

Karickhoff (1981) has described empirical estimation methods for obtaining Kocfrom Kow. The most general of these is that Koc is equal to 0.41 times Kow .

Koc = 0.41 × Kow

Kow = 135

Koc (est) = 55 (1)

The reported CV is based on data provided by Karickhoff (1981). This estimationerror does not include uncertainty in the value of Kow.

Kd_s: Distribution Coefficient in Ground-Surface and Root-Zone Soil

The units used for Kd_s are mg/kg (dry surface and root-zone soil)

mg/kg (water) and Kd_s is therefore

unitless.

Estimation Method

This is a site specific parameter and depends on the fraction organic carbon in thesurface and root-zone soil and on the value of Koc. Kd_s is the product of the soilorganic carbon partition coefficient (Koc) and the fraction organic carbon in thesurface and root-zone soil (foc_s) (Karickhoff, 1981).

Kd_s = Koc × foc_s

foc_s = kg organic carbon (dry surface and root-zone soil)

kg (soil)

Based on the estimation reported above, we obtain the following equation forthe distribution coefficient in surface and root-zone soil. Kd_s is a site and soil-zone specific parameter depending on the fraction organic carbon in the surfaceand root-zone soil or:

Kd_s = Koc × foc_s

Kd_v: Distribution Coefficient in Vadose-Zone Soil

The units used for Kd_v are mg/kg (dry vadose-zone soil)

mg/kg (water) and Kd_v is therefore unitless.

Estimation Method

This is a site specific parameter and depends on the fraction organic carbon in thevadose-zone soil and on the value of Koc. Kd_v is the product of the soil organiccarbon partition coefficient (Koc) and the fraction organic carbon in the vadose-zone soil (foc_v) (Karickhoff, 1981).

Kd_v = Koc × foc_v

foc_v = kg organic carbon (dry vadose-zone soil)

kg (soil)


9

Based on the estimation reported above, we obtain the following equation forthe distribution coefficient in vadose-zone soil. Kd_v is a site and soil-zonespecific parameter depending on the fraction organic carbon in the vadose-zoneor:

Kd_v = Koc × foc_v

Kd_q: Distribution Coefficient in the Ground-Water Zone

The units used for Kd_q are mg/kg (dry aquifer material)

mg/kg (water) and Kd_q is therefore unitless.

Estimation Method

This is a site-specific parameter and depends on the fraction organic carbon in theground-water zone and on the value of Koc. Kd_q is the product of the soil organiccarbon partition coefficient (Koc) and the fraction organic carbon in the ground-water zone (foc_q) (Karickhoff, 1981).

Kd_q = Koc × foc_q

foc_q = kg organic carbon (dry aquifer material)

Based on the estimation reported above, we obtain the following equation forthe distribution coefficient in the ground-water zone. Kd_q is a site and soil-zone specific parameter depending on the fraction organic carbon in theground-water zone or:

Kd_q = Koc × foc_q

Kd_d: Distribution Coefficient in Sediment Particles

The units used for Kd_d are mg/kg (dry surface-water sediment)

mg/kg (water) and Kd_d is therefore

unitless.

Estimation Method

This is a site specific parameter and depends on the fraction organic carbon in thesurface-water sediment and the value of Koc. Kd_d is the product of the soil organiccarbon partition coefficient (Koc) and the fraction of organic carbon in surface-watersediment (foc_d) [Karickhoff, 1981].

Based on the estimation reported above, we obtain the following equation forthe distribution coefficient in surface-water sediment particles. Kd_d is a siteand soil-zone specific parameter depending on the fraction organic carbon insurface-water sediment or:

Kd_d = Koc × foc_d

Kps: Partition Coefficient for Plant-Tissue (Above Ground Fresh Mass) Relative to SoilConcentration (Fresh Soil)

The units used for Kps are mg/kg (plant fresh mass [pFM]) mg/kg (soil fresh mass [sFM]) (ppm [pFM]/ppm [sFM])

No reported measurements of Kps for 1,1 DCE are available in the currentliterature. An estimation method for this parameter is thus applied.

Estimation Method

Based on a review of reported measurements of bioconcentration for 29 persistentorganochlorines in plants, Travis and Arms (1988) have correlated plant-soilbioconcentration (on a dry-mass basis) in above-ground plant parts withoctanol-water partition coefficients. This bioconcentration factor, Bv, on adry-weight basis is expressed as:

log Bv = 1.58 – 0.58 log Kow ± 0.73 (n=29, r2=0.525)

We calculated the error term, ± 0.73, from the mean square error of the estimatorfor this regression from the data provided by Travis and Arms (1988). Whenadjusted to a fresh-mass basis (assuming that the plant dry-mass fraction equals0.2), this estimation equation gives the plant-soil partition coefficient, Kps,expressing the ratio of contaminant concentration in mg/kg in above-groundplant fresh mass relative to contaminant concentration in mg/kg (dry soil) in theroot-zone as:

Kps = 7.7 K–0.58ow (CV = 4.0) ppm (pFM)/ppm (sDM)


11

Expressing the ratio of contaminant concentration in mg/kg in above-groundplant fresh mass relative to contaminant concentration in mg/kg (fresh soil), andassuming fresh soil 10% by mass water in the root-zone soil, the Kps estimation is:

Kps (est) = 7.0 K–0.58ow

Kow = 135

Kps = 0.41 ppm (soil FM)/ppm (plant FM)

The estimation error reported above corresponds to a CV of 4.

From the estimation method identified above, we obtain the followingstatistics for the partition coefficient in plant leaves relative to contaminantconcentration in soil of 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Kps = 0.41 (4) kg (sFM)/kg (pFM)

Kpa: Biotransfer Factors For Plant Leaves Relative to Contaminant Air Concentration

The units used for Kpa are mg/kg (plant fresh mass [pFM])

mg/cubic meter of air (m3 [air]) (m3 [a]/kg [pFM])

No reported measurements of Kpa for 1,1 DCE are available in the currentliterature. An estimation method for this parameter is thus applied.

Estimation Method

Based on the model of Riederer (1990) for foliar uptake of gas-phase contaminants(mg/m3) relative to contaminant concentration in plant leaves (mg/kg freshmass), we estimate a steady-state plant-air coefficient as:

Kpa(m3 [a]/kg [pFM])= [0.5 + ((0.4 + 0.01 × Kow)(RT/H))] × 10-3 kg/m3

R = 8.313 Pa-m3/mol-K

T = 298 K

H = 2300 Pa-m3/mol

Kow = 135

Kpa = 0.0024 m 3 [a]/kg [pFM]


12

McKone (1993) has estimated that the CV associated with this partition estimationmodel is on the order of 14.

From the estimation method identified above, we obtain the followingstatistics for the partition coefficient in plant leaves relative to contaminantconcentration in air for 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Kpa= 0.0024 (14) m 3 [a]/kg [pFM]

BIOTRANSFER FACTORS FOR FOOD PRODUCTS

The biotransfer factors Bt, Bk and Be are the steady-state contaminantconcentrations in, respectively; fresh meat, milk, and eggs; divided by the animalsdaily contaminant intake, and are expressed in units of (mg/kg)/(mg/d) or d/kg.

Bk: Steady-State Biotransfer Factors for Whole Milk Relative to Contaminant Intake byCattle

The units used for Bk are days/kg (milk) (d/kg [milk]).

No reported measurements of Bk are available in the current literature.Estimation methods are therefore considered.

Estimation Method 1

Based on a review of biotransfer factors for 28 organic chemicals in milk, Travisand Arms (1988) developed the following geometric-mean regressions for Bk1based on the octanol-water partition coefficient, Kow,

log Bk1 = log Kow – 8.1 ± 0.84 (n = 28, r2 = 0.55)

Using the data provided by Travis and Arms (1988), we calculated the error term, ±0.84, from the mean square error of the estimator for this regression. Thisestimation error corresponds to a CV of 6. From the above expression and log Kowof 2.13, we obtain the following statistics for the Bk1 of 1,1 DCE:

Bk1 (est) = 1.1 × 10-6 days/kg (milk)

CV = 6


13

Estimation Method 2

The transfer of organic chemicals from animal feed to milk has also beenexpressed in terms of the fat-diet partition coefficient, Kfd, which is the steady-stateratio of contaminant concentration in animal fat (or lipid) to contaminantconcentration in animal feed with units kg (feed)/kg (fat). Kenaga (1980) reviewedcattle-dietary feeding studies for 23 chemicals, and from these studies derived thefollowing fat-diet equation relating Kfd to Kow,

log Kfd = 0.5 log Kow – 3.457 ± 1 (n = 23, r2 = 0.62)

The estimation error in this expression, ± 1, was calculated by Kenaga (1980). Fromthe above expression with log Kow of 2.13, an assumed pasture intake by dairycattle of 85 kg/d [McKone and Ryan (1989)], and an assumed fat content of 0.04 inmilk; we obtain the following statistics for the Bk2 of 1,1 DCE:

Bk2 (est)= 1.9 × 10-6 days/kg (milk)

CV = 14

The above estimation error corresponds to assumed CV of 14.

The estimation values reported above yield the arithmetic mean and CV reportedbelow:

Bk (avg) = 1.5 × 10-6 days/kg (milk)

CV = 11

Based on the estimation equation and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following value for the estimated steady-state biotransfer factor formilk relative to dietary contaminant intake by dairy cattle for 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Bk = 1.5 × 10-6 (11) days/kg (milk)

Bt: Steady-State Biotransfer Factor for Meat Relative to Contaminant Intake by Cattle

The units used for Bt are days/kg (meat) (d/kg [meat]).

No reported measurements of cattle-meat biotransfer for 1,1 DCE are available inthe current literature. Estimation methods are therefore considered.


14

Estimation Method 1

Based on a review of biotransfer factors for 36 chemicals in meat, Travis and Arms(1988) developed the following geometric-mean regression for Bt1 based on theoctanol-water partition coefficient, Kow,

log Bt1 = log Kow – 7.6 ± 0.95 (n = 36, r2 = 0.67)

Using the data provided by Travis and Arms (1988), we calculated the error term,± 0.95 from the mean square error of the estimator for this regression. Thisestimation errors corresponds to a CV of 11. From the above expression and a logKow equal to 2.13, we obtain the following estimation:

Bt1 (est) = 3.4 × 10-6 days/kg (meat)

CV = 11

Estimation Method 2

The transfer of organic chemicals from animal feed to meat has also beenexpressed in terms of the fat-diet partition coefficient, Kfd, which is the steady-stateratio of contaminant concentration in animal fat (or lipid) to contaminantconcentration in animal feed with units kg (feed)/kg (fat). Kenaga (1980) reviewedcattle-dietary feeding studies for 23 chemicals, and from these studies derived thefollowing fat-diet equation relating Kfd to Kow:

log Kfd = 0.5 log Kow – 3.457 ± 1 (n = 23, r2 = 0.62)

The estimation error in this expression, ± 1, was calculated by Kenaga (1980). Fromthe above expression with log Kow equal to 2.13, an assumed pasture intake by beefcattle of 60 kg/d (McKone and Ryan, 1989), and an assumed fat content of 0.4 inmeat; we obtain the following estimation:

Bt2 (est) = 2.7 × 10-5 days/kg (meat)

CV = 14

The above estimation error corresponds to a CV of 14.The estimation values reported above yield the arithmetic mean and CV reportedbelow:

Bt (avg) = 1.5 × 10-5 days/kg (meat)

CV = 13


15

Based on the estimation equation and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following value for the estimated steady-state biotransfer factor formeat relative to dietary contaminant intake by cattle for 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Bt = 1.5 × 10-5 (13) days/kg (meat)

Be: Steady-State Biotransfer Factors for Egg Concentration Relative to DietaryContaminant Intake by Chickens

The units used for Be are days/kg (eggs) (d/kg [eggs]).

No reported measurements of egg-feed biotransfer for 1,1 DCE are available in thecurrent literature. An estimation method is therefore considered.

Estimation Method

Based on measurements of polychlorodibenzodioxins (PCDDs) andpolychlorodibenzo-furans (PCDFs) concentrations in soil versus concentrations inegg-fat and adipose tissue of foraging chickens, Stephens et al. (1990) have shownthat contaminant concentrations in animal fat correlate with soil concentrations.In addition, they found the fat-soil partition factor in chicken fat is roughly sixtimes higher than the fat-soil partition factor in cattle. However, the fraction oftotal intake represented by soil in the chicken feed is higher than in the cattle feed.Based on these observation and what is discussed in the above Bk and Bt sections,we (a) assume that the fat-diet partition factor in chickens is similar to that incattle, (b) use log Kfd = log Kow- 4.9 to estimate the Kfd for chickens, and (c) use thefat content of eggs (0.08) and feed intake of chickens (0.12 kg/d [fresh mass]) toobtain the following estimate of a biotransfer factor, Be, from chicken feed to eggswith units d/kg (eggs):

log Be = log Kow - 5.1

log Kow = 2.13

Be = 1.1 × 10-3 d/kg (eggs)

We estimate the CV in this expression is 14.


16

Based on the estimation equation and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following value for the estimated steady-state biotransfer factors foregg concentration relative to dietary contaminant intake by chickens for 1,1DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Be = 1.1 × 10-3 (14) days/kg (eggs)

Bbmk: Biotransfer Factor for Human Breast Milk Relative to Dietary ContaminantIntake by the Mother

The units used for Bbmk are days/kg (mothers milk) (d/kg [mothers milk]).

Estimation Method

No experimental results quantifying Bbmk are available in the current literature,an estimation method (Smith, 1987), using a Kow for 1,1 DCE of 135, is thereforeconsidered:

Bbmk = 2 × 10-7 Kow

Bbmk (est) = 2.7 × 10-5 days/kg (mothers' milk)

The estimation error of the above method is approximately 10.

Based on the estimation equation and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following value for the estimated biotransfer factor for human breastmilk relative to dietary contaminant intake by the mother for 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Bbmk = 2.7 × 10-5 (10) days/kg (mothers' milk)

BCF: Bioconcentration Factor for Fish Relative to Water Concentration

The units used for BCF (fish/water) are mg/kg (fish)

mg/liter (water) , and BCF is therefore

unitless.

Experimental Value

4.0 reported by Atri (1985)


17

From the measured value reported above, and the assumption that the CV forthis value is approximately 1, we obtain the following statistics for BCF in fishrelative to contaminant concentration in water for 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):BCF (fish/water) = 4 (1)

Estimation Method

For fish, the BCF is taken as the ratio of concentration of a xenobiotic substance infish flesh (or lipids) to the contaminant's concentration in water (Mackay, 1982)The BCF for neutral organic compounds can be estimated from regressionequations based on selected physicochemical properties, particularly a compound'sKow or aqueous solubility. Mackay (1982) recommends:

BCF = 0.048 Kow

Kow = 135

BCF (est) = 6.5

CV = 0.6

The reported GSD is 1.8 which corresponds to an estimation error of 0.6.

Kp_w: Human Skin Permeability Coefficient Relative to Contaminant Concentrationin Water

The units used for Kp_w are centimeters/hour (cm/hr).

No reported measurements of Kp_w for 1,1 DCE are available in the currentliterature. An estimation method for this parameter is therefore considered.

Estimation Method

Because dermal transfer is considered a nonsteady-state event, diffusion modelsrequire input parameters which are difficult to measure, such as the stratumcorneum diffusion coefficient(Dsc) [Flynn and Amidon, 1991]. Estimation ofaqueous biotransfer of 1,1 DCE is calculated with the following equation based onthe estimation method of McKone and Howd (1992).

Kp_w = MW-0.6

0.33 +

0.0025

2.4 × 10-6 + 3 × 10-5 K0.8ow

Kow = 135

MW = 96.95 g/mol


18

Kp_w = 0.13 cm/hr

who report a coefficient of variation equal to 2.4

Based on the estimation equation and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following value for the estimated human skin permeabilitycoefficient relative to contaminant water concentration for 1,1 DCE:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Kp_w = 0.13 (2.4) cm/hr

Km: Partition Coefficient for Human Skin Concentration Relative to ContaminantConcentration in Water

The units used for Km are mg/kg (skin)

mg/liter (water) (ppm [skin]/ppm [water])

No experimental values for Km are currently available in the literature, thereforean estimation method is considered.

Estimation Method

Experimental values quantifying dermal transfer of 1,1 DCE in water, or for waterin a soil matrix, may depend on pH, particle size and organic carbon content(Flynn and Amidon, 1991). An estimation method based on an equation byMcKone and Howd (1992) is therefore used here.

Km = 0.64 + (0.25 K0.8ow)

Kow = 135

Km = 13 ppm (skin)/ppm (water)

The reported geometric standard deviation of 1.3 in this estimation methodcorresponds to a CV of 0.27.

Based on the estimation equation and the estimation error reported above, weobtain the following value for the partition coefficient into human skinrelative to 1,1 DCE water or soil concentration:

Arithmetic mean (coefficient of variation):Km= 13 (0.27) ppm (skin)/ppm (water)
