TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a reported Koc value of 400(2) indicates that butylate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of butylate from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.5X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure, 1.30X10-2 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 45 mg/L(4). A photodegradation half-life of 280 days on soil has been reported(5). In a microagroecosystem study, delaying soil incorporation of butylate (applied as an emsulifiable concentration) for 24 hrs resulted in a 65% loss by volatilization. When applied in a microencapsulated form, little volatilization occurred(6). Butylate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(3). The decline in butylate soil residues is due primarily to volatilization (47%) with aerobic soil metabolism of secondary importance(5). In soil, microbial degradation involves hydrolysis to ethylmercaptan, diisobutylamine and carbon dioxide; the half-life is 1.5-10 weeks(3) suggesting that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

FIELD STUDIES: The US Dept of Agric's Pesticide Properties Database lists a soil half-life of 13 days for butylate(1). The soil half-lives under crop growing conditions has been reported to range from 1.5 to 3 weeks(2). Butylate is reportedly lost by vaporization when applied to the surface of wet soils without incorporation(2). Butylate half-lives of approximately 8-28 days were observed in various laboratory and field studies(3); degradation rates were faster in soils previously treated with butylate or other thiocarbamate herbicides(3). In a field study using a soil previously exposed to butylate, the initial soil degradation half-life was approximately 10 days(4). In a 100 day field study (in silt loam and clay loam soils), butylate was found to have a low mobility as only very small quantities were leached to depth of 45-60 cm(5).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a reported Koc value of 400(2) indicates that butylate is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.5X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 1.30X01-2 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 45 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 20 hrs and 10 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(6), a reported BCF of 410(7) suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2018).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), butylate, which has a vapor pressure of 1.30X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase butylate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 12 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 3.1X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Butylate's detection in rainwater samples(4) indicates that wet deposition occurs in the environment(SRC). Butylate contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(5) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Butylate is a colorless liquid. It is a thiocarbamate compound used as a selective preplant incorporated herbicide. HUMAN STUDIES: Although limited, epidemiologic studies suggest possible associations between butylate use and cancer risk, specifically prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. ANIMAL STUDIES: Butylate was not carcinogenic in rats and dogs. Butylate was not teratogenic in rats and rabbits. Butylate was nonmutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA 1535, 1537, 1538, 98 and 100, with and without metabolic activation. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Not dangerous to bees when used as directed.

/OTHER TERRESTRIAL SPECIES/ Not dangerous to bees when used as directed.

/PLANTS/ Molinate and butylate treatments for 4 hr of Vicia faba root tip meristems, showed that both thiocarbamate herbicides increased significantly SCE frequency. Direct treatments of molinate and butylate on human lymphocytes applied 24 hr after the beginning of culture did not induce SCE. When S10 extracts of the Vicia roots, treated for 4 hr with molinate and butylate (in vivo activation) were added to lymphocytes (24 hr after of the beginning of culture), SCE were induced in a concentration-response manner. The in vitro assays, in which molinate and butylate was added at 48 hr lymphocyte cultures for 4 hr, showed a negative response, however, in the treatment where the S10 metabolic mix was added the SCE frequencies were significantly different to the control, and the concentration-response relationship was not observed with molinate, but it was obtained with butylate. The results showed that both herbicides needed the V. faba metabolism to produce SCE in human lymphocyte culture.

EPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard.

Based upon experimental adsorption measurements in a silty clay loam soil and a sandy loam soil(1), the Koc of butylate can be calculated to range from 185 to 260(SRC). The US Dept of Agric's Pesticide Properties Database lists a Koc value of 400 for butylate(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these experimental Koc values suggest that butylate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). In one soil column leaching study using three different soil types, most of the initially added butylate remained in the upper 4 in of soil with no butylate leaching below 8 in(1). In a 100-day field study (in silt loam and clay loam soils), butylate was found to have a low mobility as only very small quantities were leached to depth of 45-60 cm(4). Adsorption of butylate has been found to increase as the content of organic matter and clay increases, with a corresponding decrease in leaching(1,5). Based on batch equilibrium experiments, butylate was determined to be mobile to moderately mobile in Keeton sandy loam, Columbia loamy sand, Sorrento loam, and Atterberry silt loam soils(6). The adsorption Freundlich values reported for these soils were 1.5, 4.8, 7.3, and 5.5, respectively(6).

URBAN/SUBURBAN: The maximum concentration of butylate in air over the Mississippi River (from New Orleans, LA to St. Paul, MN) in 1994 was 0.44 ng/cu m(1). However, butylate was only detected in 10% of the samples, which suggests a very poor collection efficiency for butylate in this study(1). Butylate was not detected at four locations on the Mississippi River from urban areas of Minneapolis, MN, Iowa City, IA and Jackson, MS. The compound was not detected in samples from the Eagle Harbor, MI background location. Sampling conducted from early April through mid-September 1995(2).

RURAL/REMOTE: Butylate was tested for but not detected in air samples at St. Damase, Quebec, Canada, an agricultural area in the Yamaska Basin. Sampling was conducted from May to September, 2004(1). Butylate was not detected at three locations on the Mississippi River from rural areas of Cedar Rapids, IA and Rolling Fork, MS. Butylate was present in samples from Princeton, MN. The compound was not detected in samples from the Eagle Harbor, MI background location. Sampling conducted from early April through mid-September 1995(2).

/EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES/ Recent epidemiological studies have suggested an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from carbamate insecticide use among farmers. To further explore the possible relationships, we conducted a pooled analysis of three population-based case-control studies conducted in four midwestern states in the United States. A total of 985 white male subjects and 2895 control subjects were included in this analysis. Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate the association and control for confounding. Compared with nonfarmers, farmers who had ever used carbamate pesticides had a 30% to 50% increased risk of NHL, whereas farmers without carbamate pesticide use showed no increased risk. Analyses for individual carbamate pesticides found a more consistent association with Sevin but not carbofuran, butylate, or S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate plus protectant. Among farmers using Sevin, the risk of NHL was limited to those who personally handled the product, those who first used the product for > or = 20 years before their disease diagnosis, and those who used the product for a longer period. These associations persisted after adjusting for other major classes of pesticides. These results suggest an increased risk of NHL associated with carbamate pesticide use, particularly Sevin. Further investigation of the association is warranted.

/EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES/ Although limited, epidemiologic studies suggest possible associations between butylate use and cancer risk, specifically prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We examined butylate use and cancer risk more broadly in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS), a cohort of licensed pesticide applicators in Iowa and North Carolina. Pesticide use information was collected using self-administered questionnaires. Poisson regression was used to calculate rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Two exposure metrics were used: lifetime exposure days (LD) and intensity-weighted lifetime exposure days (IWLD). We used two referent groups: unexposed to butylate and the lowest butylate usage category. This analysis included 19,655 applicators with complete butylate use information; 5297 applicators were exposed to butylate, making this the largest study of butylate to date. The mean follow-up time since enrollment was 9 years. Prostate cancer risk was significantly elevated among applicators in the highest LD category in both referent groups (low-exposed referent: RR(LD)=2.09, 95% CI=1.27-3.44). We observed a significantly elevated joint effect of prostate cancer family history and high butylate usage across both exposure metrics and both referent groups (low-exposed referent: RR(LD)=2.00, 95% CI=1.07-3.74), and a non-significant, elevated interaction between butylate use and prostate cancer family history, similar to a previous AHS finding. Statistically significant increased risks and exposure-response trends were seen for all lymphohematopoietic cancers (AL) and NHL for both exposure metrics and referent groups (low-exposed referent: AL:RR(LD)=2.27, 95% CI=1.18-4.37; NHL: RR(LD)=3.44, 95% CI=1.29-9.21). Our analysis did not find meaningful associations for other cancers analyzed. Further study is warranted for AL, NHL and prostate cancers.

The Agency does not expect the current risks associated with butylate use to differ from those identified during the butylate reregistration process. In order to mitigate the risks identified in the RED, the Agency specified mitigation measures, which are already in effect on butylate product labels. The existing stocks sales and distribution deadlines included in the July 14, 2010 and the March 23, 2011 cancellation orders ensure that butylate sale, distribution, and use will decline and then cease entirely in the United States in the future. During this period, given the mitigation measures that are specified in the RED and are currently in place, the Agency believes that existing stocks of butylate products may be used until depleted without causing unreasonable risk to human health and the environment. Pursuant to 40 CFR section 155.57 and 155.58, the Agency is issuing the registration review final decision for butylate, thus concluding the butylate registration review, for the reasons discussed above. The affected product registrations are subject to the terms and conditions of the July 14, 2010 and March 23, 2011 cancellation orders.

Based on the reviews of the generic data for the active ingredient butylate, the Agency has sufficient information on the health effects of butylate and on its potential for causing adverse effects in fish and wildlife and the environment. The Agency concludes that products containing butylate and registered for use on field corn, sweet corn and popcorn are eligible for reregistration. The Agency has determined that butylate products, labeled and used as specified in this Reregistration Eligibility Document, will not pose unreasonable risks or adverse effects to humans or the environment.

As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their continued use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines newer health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether the use of the pesticide does not pose unreasonable risk in accordance to newer safety standards, such as those described in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Butylate is found on List A, which contains most pesticides that are used on foods and, hence, have a high potential for human exposure. List A consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA '88. Case No: 0071; Pesticide type: herbicide; Registration Standard Date: 09/30/83; Case Status: RED Approved 09/93; OPP has made a decision that some/all uses of the pesticide are eligible for reregistration, as reflected in a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document.; Active ingredient (AI): Butylate; Data Call-in (DCI) Date(s): 09/30/90, 11/26/93; AI Status: OPP has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document for the case/AI.
