ABSTRACT
Biomonitoring Equivalents (BEs) were developed for chlordane and toxaphene using one-compartment pharmacokinetic models and compared with biomonitoring data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, Cycle 1 (2007-2009). A secondary objective was to examine the toxicities of the components of technical chlordane in a HEPG2 cell culture experiment. Oral reference doses were identified from national and international regulatory agencies and sources. Pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained from experimental data in rodent models. A set of BEs have been derived for the main chlordane isomers, cis-chlordane, trans-chlordane, cis-nonachlor, and trans-nonachlor, and the chlordane metabolite, oxychlordane. BEs were also derived for the main toxaphene isomers found in biota, Parlar No. 26, 50 and 62. Among the general Canadian population, no exceedances of chlordane or toxaphene BEs were observed. Based on the LC50 from the in vitro study, trans-nonachlor was the most toxic, and the trans-isomers were more toxic than the cis-isomers. The derived BE values can be used as screening guidelines to assess the risk of biomonitoring data in human populations. The results of an in vitro experiment suggest that trans-nonachlor is more toxic than technical chlordane and, therefore, the BE for this compound may need to be further lowered.
