Issuance of an Experimental Use Permit, 20549-20550 [05-7805]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 20, 2005 / Notices 6. Animal metabolism. Magnesium is an essential mineral in animals. It is used therapeutically to treat hypertension, myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrhythmia. Large doses of magnesium salts are administered orally to cleanse the colon prior to endoscopic procedures. Normal human serum contains 2 to 5 mg magnesium/dL. Magnesium salts are poorly absorbed from the intestines, and cause osmotic withdrawal of water into the intestinal lumen; it is ultimately excreted in the feces. Aluminum metabolism is compounddependent, but is generally very low. Approximately 0.01% of aluminum hydroxide is absorbed when administered via the oral route. Consequently, the majority is excreted in the feces, and the remainder is excreted in the urine. Distribution of aluminum compounds is not well understood, due to the levels that occur naturally in and outside the body. Aluminum that is absorbed is generally sequestered in bone tissue, and gradually accumulates over time. 7. Endocrine disruption. No evidence of endocrine disruption from magnesium compounds or aluminum compounds was identified. C. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure — i.Food. Exposure to aluminum-magnesium hydroxy carbonate from food is not anticipated, due to its insolubility (except in strong acids) and the lack of potential for contact with food or foodcontact surfaces under the proposed conditions of use. Additionally, the components in aluminum-magnesium hydroxy carbonate (Al2O3, magnesium carbonate, and MgO) are all exempt from the requirement of a tolerance at 40 CFR 180.910 without limitation. EPA has already assessed the dietary risks of these substances, and determined that limitations on their use in pesticides are not warranted when they are used individually or in combination in pesticide formulations that are applied to growing crops or to postharvest raw agricultural commodities. ii. Drinking water. Both aluminum and magnesium compounds are present in natural water that may be used for drinking. EPA has not established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for magnesium. The EPA National Secondary Drinking Water Standard for aluminum in drinking water is 0.05 to 0.2 mg/L. The use of aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate as an inert ingredient is not expected to result in additional exposure to aluminum compounds in drinking water, as it is VerDate jul<14>2003 16:34 Apr 19, 2005 Jkt 205001 insoluble when used as intended, as described above. 2. Nondietary exposure. There is no anticipated worker exposure to aluminum-magnesium hydroxy carbonate from application of the pesticides in which it will be used. Nondietary exposures to aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate may result from its use as a stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride, and its use as a catalyst to polymerize propylene oxide. These reactions occur in contained vessels, and no exposure to aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate would occur except during loading of the reactants. Similarly, during manufacture of pesticides to which aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate is added, the components are mixed in closed vessels, and limited exposure to workers is anticipated. D. Cumulative Effects No cumulative effects from a common mechanism of toxicity is expected to result from the use of aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate in pesticide formulations. E. Safety Determination Based on the information available, the petitioner believes that there is no expectation that the U.S. population, including infants and children, will be at increased risk from potential exposure to residues of aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate. It is insoluble except in strong acids, and the components used to manufacture the finished inert ingredient have been individually evaluated and granted exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance at 40 CFR 180.910. F. International Tolerances No international tolerances are known to exist for residues of aluminummagnesium hydroxy carbonate.
