Development of Exposure/Hazard Assessment Tool for NJ DEP:

Proposal for Merger of METIS & Protege• The proposed system will be developed by systematically

selecting, adapting, linking, testing, and eventually mergingcomponents from two available and currently evolvingstate of the art platforms for hazard and for exposurecharacterization and ranking:

METIS (Metanomics Information System), developed by DuPont.

PRoTEGE (Prioritization and Ranking of Toxic Exposures with GISextension), developed by the Computational ChemodynamicsLaboratory of EOHSI.

Guidance for Initial Prioritization of Chemicals for Risk Assessment

Prioritization Score = Hazard category x Exposure category

Hazard or Exposure Categories:3 - High2 - Moderate1 - Low

• A "3" in any Hazard or Exposure Category defaults to a "3" valuefor the Initial Prioritization.– Assures that any chemical with a high level endpoint of concern will be

ranked for prioritization in the CEC framework.

Categorization of Mammalian Hazard• Strong weight of evidence for mammalian toxicity:

– Acute Systemic Toxicity– Carcinogen, Mutagen, Reproductive / Developmental Toxicity (including

endocrine disruptors)– Neurobehavioral Toxicity– Repeated dose target organ toxicity– Chemical Respiratory Sensitizer

• Uncertainty about or moderate weight of evidence or no data for mammalian toxicity:

– Acute Systemic Toxicity– Carcinogen, Mutagen, Reproductive / Developmental Toxicity (including

endocrine disruptors)– Neurobehavioral Toxicity– Repeated dose target organ toxicity– Chemical Respiratory Sensitizer

• Weak weight of evidence for mammalian toxicity

Supplemental Evaluation of Environmental Hazard

• Consider any available data for sublethal -growth, reproduction, development, etc. responses or "real" ecological responsesat the population or community level.

Page 36: Final Workbook CEC Framework August8 2012 A_Final Workbook CEC... · 2014-06-24 · 8/8/2012 22 • “Tier 1” exposure metrics – Pervasiveness - how widespread the exposures

8/8/2012 36

• Evaluate endocrine activity rather than characterize hazard in terms of “endocrine disruption”.

• Endocrine activity can be defined as a change in endocrine homeostasis caused by a chemical or other stressor from human activities (e.g., application of pesticides, the discharge of industrial chemicals to air, land, or water, or the use of synthetic chemicals in consumer products.).

• Data that will be considered include: – In vitro data such as hormone receptor binding assays or ex vivo assays – In vivo data from studies of intact animals or wildlife (including aquatic

organisms)– Ethically conducted human studies – In vivo short term exposures or altered (e.g., ovariectomized) animal models – Structural similarity to known endocrine active substances using SAR tools

such as AIM, QSAR, etc. – Additional information gleaned from studies that are indicative of a chemical’s

endocrine system interactions, such as changes in hormone profiles or reproductive organ weights.

Evaluation of Endocrine Activity

8/8/2012 37

Categorization of Endocrine Activity• Available data for each chemical will be evaluated for evidence

of the presence of endocrine activity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

– If data show evidence of endocrine activity then the chemical will be designated as potentially endocrine active, while noting caveats and limitations.

– If there are no data available to evaluate this endpoint, endocrine activity is unknown, untested and would be marked with a “ND” indicating the absence of information. (No Data)

– If data conclude no evidence of activity (no binding, perturbation, or evidence of endocrine-related adverse effects) then the chemical will be designated as having no evidence of endocrine activity, noting caveats and limitations.

Categorization of Exposure Characterization• Presence in NJ environmental media / biota at significant concentrations or as

significant biomarker measurements, and relative ranking of exposure based upon distributional estimates for 3 the main routes of exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) (ug/kg/day)

• Presence in food, children's toys, cosmetics/ personal care products, consumer product and relative ranking of exposure based upon distributional estimates for 3 the main routes of exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion)

• Presence in NJ environmental media / biota at concentrations less than which may be steadily increasing due uses or emission sources

• Uses/applications with estimated moderate exposure potential

• Detectable concentrations of new pollutants found in NJ environmental media / biota • Manufacturing intermediate detected in NJ environmental media/ biota• Uses/applications with estimated low exposure potential for NJ residents/biota

Development of Exposure/Hazard Assessment Tool for NJ DEP:

Proposal for Merger of METIS & Protege• The proposed system will be developed by systematically

selecting, adapting, linking, testing, and eventually mergingcomponents from two available and currently evolvingstate‐of‐the‐art platforms for hazard and for exposurecharacterization and ranking: METIS (Metanomics Information System), developed by DuPont. PRoTEGE (Prioritization and Ranking of Toxic Exposures with GIS

extension), developed by the Computational ChemodynamicsLaboratory of EOHSI.

Guidance for Initial Prioritization of Chemicals for Risk Assessment

Prioritization Score = Hazard category x Exposure category

Hazard or Exposure Categories:3 - High2 - Moderate1 - Low

• A "3" in any Hazard or Exposure Category defaults to a "3" value for the Initial Prioritization.– Assures that any chemical with a high level endpoint of concern will be

ranked for prioritization in the CEC framework.

Supplemental Evaluation of Environmental Hazard

• Consider any available data for sublethal -growth, reproduction, development, etc. responses or "real" ecological responsesat the population or community level.

Page 81: Final Workbook CEC Framework August8 2012 A_Final Workbook CEC... · 2014-06-24 · 8/8/2012 22 • “Tier 1” exposure metrics – Pervasiveness - how widespread the exposures

• Evaluate endocrine activity rather than characterize hazard in terms of “endocrine disruption”.

• Endocrine activity can be defined as a change in endocrine homeostasis caused by a chemical or other stressor from human activities (e.g., application of pesticides, the discharge of industrial chemicals to air, land, or water, or the use of synthetic chemicals in consumer products.).

• Data that will be considered include: – In vitro data such as hormone receptor binding assays or ex vivo assays – In vivo data from studies of intact animals or wildlife (including aquatic

organisms) – Ethically conducted human studies – In vivo short term exposures or altered (e.g., ovariectomized) animal models – Structural similarity to known endocrine active substances using SAR tools

such as AIM, QSAR, etc. – Additional information gleaned from studies that are indicative of a chemical’s

endocrine system interactions, such as changes in hormone profiles or reproductive organ weights.

Evaluation of Endocrine Activity

Categorization of Endocrine Activity• Available data for each chemical will be evaluated for evidence

of the presence of endocrine activity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

– If data show evidence of endocrine activity then the chemical will be designated as potentially endocrine active, while noting caveats and limitations.

– If there are no data available to evaluate this endpoint, endocrine activity is unknown, untested and would be marked with a “ND” indicating the absence of information. (No Data)

– If data conclude no evidence of activity (no binding, perturbation, or evidence of endocrine-related adverse effects) then the chemical will be designated as having no evidence of endocrine activity, noting caveats and limitations.

Categorization of Exposure Characterization• Presence in NJ environmental media / biota at significant concentrations or as

significant biomarker measurements, and relative ranking of exposure based upon distributional estimates for 3 the main routes of exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) (ug/kg/day)

• Presence in food, children's toys, cosmetics/ personal care products, consumer product and relative ranking of exposure based upon distributional estimates for 3 the main routes of exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion)

• Presence in NJ environmental media / biota at concentrations less than which may be steadily increasing due uses or emission sources

• Uses/applications with estimated moderate exposure potential

• Detectable concentrations of new pollutants found in NJ environmental media / biota • Manufacturing intermediate detected in NJ environmental media/ biota• Uses/applications with estimated low exposure potential for NJ residents/biota
