In summary, dichlorvos is mutagenic and clastogenic at <strong>the</strong> point <strong>of</strong> contact, whereunchanged dichlorvos may be in direct contact with tissue [DDVP‘s inherent potential].There is no evidence that dichlorvos has any systemic genotoxic potential, due to <strong>the</strong>substance‘s inherent phosphorylating reactivity and <strong>the</strong> highly efficientbiotrans<strong>for</strong>mation [low risk]. Dichlorvos should be Classified as 6.6B, as <strong>the</strong> evidencemeets <strong>the</strong> criteria in Section 14.2.2 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> User Guide to <strong>the</strong> Thresholds andClassifications in <strong>the</strong> HSNO Act (ERMA, 2008). However, <strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> systemicgenotoxic potential should be accounted <strong>for</strong> in any human risk assessment.Dichlorvos is proposed <strong>for</strong> classification <strong>for</strong> Carcinogenicity (6.7B), based on <strong>the</strong> dataavailable <strong>for</strong> this review (see Section 13 Carcinogenicity 6.7 below).The 6.6B Classification <strong>for</strong> mutagenicity is consistent with conclusions from reviews by<strong>the</strong> APVMA and ASTDR.BACKGROUND:The APVMA (2008a) reported <strong>the</strong> following in vivo and in vitro assays (Originals notsighted):Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 188 <strong>of</strong> 436
