USDA 1991 Total Diet Study (FDA, 1992). USEPA estimates of chronic exposure are also in Table 18 and were 1/4 to 1/2 fold of those by DPR. Commodity contribution analysis was conducted to determine the critical commodities in the determination of total exposure (Table 19). Residues in cereal grains (28.2-30.9% of total exposure) and dairy products (25.4 to 51.25) were the major contributors toward the exposure levels of U.S. population, non-nursing, and children population subgroups. Lifetime Exposure The potential lifetime exposure to DDVP was evaluated based on the chronic dietary DDVP level of 0.22 ug/kg-day (DPR) and 0.036 ug/kg-day (USEPA) for the US population (Table 18).

For home use, the adult exposure level due to fogger applications was used (Table 16). For exposure in the diet under acute and chronic exposures, the adult subgroup with the highest exposure (males 13-19 years) was used. For exposure in the diet under lifetime exposure, the chronic exposure level for the U.S. population was used. Acute Exposure The range of exposure levels was from 84 to 137 ug/kg-day. The highest combined exposure of DDVP from work and at home was 137 ug/kg-day by livestock applicators (Table 20). Chronic and Lifetime Exposures Under chronic exposure conditions, livestock applicators were exposed to the highest average annual level of DDVP at 6.1 ug/kg-day (Table 21). The range of exposure was from 2.1 to 6.1 ug/kg-day. The potential lifetime exposure to DDVP ranged from 1.22 ug/kg-day for warehouse workers to 3.52 ug/kg-day for livestock applicators. 68

Combined Exposure<br />

The combined exposure levels from occupational and residential sources are applicable only for<br />

workers who may be exposed to <strong>DDVP</strong> at work and at home (Tables 20 and 21). For home use, the<br />

adult exposure level due to fogger applications was used (Table 16). For exposure in the diet under<br />

acute and chronic exposures, the adult subgroup with the highest exposure (males 13-19 years) was<br />

used. For exposure in the diet under lifetime exposure, the chronic exposure level for the U.S.<br />

population was used.<br />

Acute Exposure<br />

The range of exposure levels was from 84 to 137 ug/kg-day. The highest combined exposure of<br />

<strong>DDVP</strong> from work and at home was 137 ug/kg-day by livestock applicators (Table 20).<br />

Chronic and Lifetime Exposures<br />

Under chronic exposure conditions, livestock applicators were exposed to the highest average annual<br />

level of <strong>DDVP</strong> at 6.1 ug/kg-day (Table 21). The range of exposure was from 2.1 to 6.1 ug/kg-day.<br />

The potential lifetime exposure to <strong>DDVP</strong> ranged from 1.22 ug/kg-day for warehouse workers to 3.52<br />

ug/kg-day for livestock applicators.<br />
