Subform VII: Scientific Study

1. Study Reference

Title Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl+Thiencarbazone-methyl +Mefenpyr-diethyl EC 117,5 Local Lymph Node Assay in the Mouse

Date 21-JUN-16

2. a) Is an extension needed to translate the document?

No

3. Type of incident identified in the study

New health or environmental hazard

4. Describe the incident identified in the study (e.g. study demonstrates an increased risk to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to pesticide X)

Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl + Thiencarbazone-methyl + Mefenpyr diethyl EC 117.5 (80+7.5+30 g/L) was tested in the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) to determine the skin sensitization potential of this formulated pesticide product. Following a preliminary irritation/toxicity test with the test item at 100%, the main test was conducted with 25%, 10% and 5% (w/v) concentrations in 1% aqueous Pluronic PE9200. The test item was applied to both ears of four animals per group on days 1-3, then not applied on days 4-6. Cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was measured by incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine and the values obtained were used to calculate stimulation indices (SI). The SI values were 4.3, 1.2 and 1.1 at concentrations of 25%, 10% and 5% test item, respectively. As the highest concentration resulted in an SI value above the threshold of 3.0, and there was a dose response, Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl + Thiencarbazone-methyl + Mefenpyr diethyl EC 117.5 was considered to have skin sensitization potential. The calculated EC3 value is 18.7%.
