3DERIVATION OF PROVISIONAL VALUES

The lack of toxicity data precludes direct development of cancer or noncancer provisional reference values for 3,5-dinitroaniline. However, screening provisional reference dose (p-RfD) values and screening provisional reference concentration (p-RfC) values are derived based on available data for structurally similar compounds (see Appendix A).

3.1. DERIVATION OF ORAL REFERENCE DOSES

There are no data on the effects of 3,5-dinitroaniline in humans or animals exposed orally. Because of the lack of any available data for 3,5-dinitroaniline, subchronic and chronic p-RfDs cannot be derived directly. Instead, screening p-RfDs are derived in Appendix A using an alternative analogue approach. Based on the overall analogue approach presented in Appendix A, 4-nitroaniline is selected as the most appropriate analogue for 3,5-dinitroaniline for deriving a screening subchronic and chronic p-RfD.

3.2. DERIVATION OF INHALATION REFERENCE CONCENTRATIONS

There are no data on the effects of 3,5-dinitroaniline in humans or animals exposed by inhalation. The absence of relevant inhalation data precludes deriving p-RfCs for 3,5-dinitroaniline directly. Instead, screening p-RfCs are derived in Appendix A using an alternative analogue approach. Based on the overall analogue approach presented in Appendix A, 4-nitroaniline is selected as the most appropriate analogue for 3,5-dinitroaniline for deriving a screening subchronic and chronic p-RfC.

3.3. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONAL REFERENCE VALUES

The noncancer provisional reference values for 3,5-dinitroaniline are summarized in Table 5.

3.4. CANCER WEIGHT-OF-EVIDENCE DESCRIPTOR

Under the U.S. EPA Cancer Guidelines (U.S. EPA, 2005a), there is “Inadequate Information to Assess the Carcinogenic Potential” of 3,5-dinitroaniline (see Table 6). No relevant studies are available in humans or animals. Within the current U.S. EPA Cancer Guidelines (U.S. EPA, 2005a), there is no standard methodology to support the identification of a weight-of-evidence (WOE) descriptor and derivation of provisional cancer risk estimates for data-poor chemicals using an analogue approach. In the absence of an established framework, a screening evaluation of potential carcinogenicity is provided using the methodology described in Appendix B. This evaluation determined that there is a qualitative level of concern for potential carcinogenicity of 3,5-dinitroaniline (see Appendix C).

3.5. DERIVATION OF PROVISIONAL CANCER RISK ESTIMATES

The absence of suitable data precludes developing cancer risk estimates for 3,5-dinitroaniline (see Table 7).
