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 future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Pesticides for which EPA had not issued Registration Standards prior to the effective date of FIFRA, as amended in 1988, were divided into three lists based upon their potential for human exposure and other factors, with List B containing pesticides of greater concern and List D pesticides of less concern. Disodium methanearsonate is found on List B. Case No: 2395; Pesticide type: insecticide, herbicide, rodenticide; Case Status: OPP is reviewing data from the pesticide's producers regarding its human health and/or environmental effects, or OPP is determining the pesticide's eligibility for reregistration and developing the Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document.; Active ingredient (AI): Disodium methanearsonate; Data Call-in (DCI) Date(s): 06/14/91, 03/03/95, 10/13/95; AI Status: The producers of the pesticide has made commitments to conduct the studies and pay the fees required for reregistration, and are meeting those commitments in a timely manner.

Tolerances are established for residues of the herbicide methanearsonic acid (calculated as As2O3) from application of the disodium and monosodium salts of methanearsonic acid in or on raw agricultural commodities as follows: citrus fruit; cottonseed; and cottonseed hulls.

Listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) generally known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduce routine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish and phase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sources that emit one or more of the listed pollutants. Disodium methanearsonate is included on this list.

For the maximum protection of human health from the potential carcinogenic effects due to exposure of arsenic through ingestion of contaminated water & contaminated aquatic organisms, the ambient water concn should be zero based on the nonthreshold assumption for this chemical. However, zero level may not be attainable at the present time. Therefore, the levels which may result in incremental increase of cancer risk over the lifetime are estimated at 1X10-5, 1X10-6, & 1X10-7. The corresponding criteria are 22 ng/l, 2.2 ng/l, & .22 ng/l, respectively .... For consumption of aquatic organisms only, excluding consumption of water, the levels are 175 ng/ml, 17.5 ng/l, & 1.75 ng/l, respectively. /Arsenic/

D004; A solid waste containing arsenic may or may not become characterized as a hazardous waste when subjected to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure listed in 40 CFR 261.24, and if so characterized, must be managed as a hazardous waste.

Arsenic or organo-arsenic containing wastewater treatment sludges from production of veterinary pharmaceuticals are poor candidates for incineration.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

Protective clothing to prevent contact with skin; chemical goggles.

Avoid skin contact or breathing spray mist. ... Keep children, domestic animals off treated areas until material washes into soil.

Tolerances for total residues of combined arsenic (calculated as As) in food are established as follows: (a) In edible tissues & in eggs of chickens & turkeys: 0.5 ppm in uncooked muscle tissue; 2 ppm in uncooked edible by-products; & 0.5 ppm in eggs.

Arsenic poisoning can be treated by chelation therapy, using chelating agents such as dimercaprol, EDTA or DMSA. Charcoal tablets may also be used for less severe cases. In addition, maintaining a diet high in sulfur helps eliminate arsenic from the body. (L20)

... FOUND RAPID LOSS OF HERBICIDAL ACTIVITY FROM DSMA APPLIED TO BOSKET SILT LOAM. MOST MARKED REDUCTION IN TOXIC RESIDUES OCCURRED BETWEEN INITIAL PLANTING DATE AND 16-WEEK REPLANTING DATE.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Organoarsenicals, such as dimethylarsinic acid, methanearsonic acid, monosodium and disodium salts, and sodium cacodylate are adsorbed by clay soils. After rapid initial adsorption, changes occur which result in the redistribution of dimethylarsinic acid into a less soluble form associated with aluminium in the soil. Downward leaching of the methanearsonic acid salts has also been reported. The methanearsonic acid salts and dimethylarsinic acid are fixed by iron and aluminium in the soil, although not as strongly as inorganic arsenate.

Arsenic and its metabolites disrupt ATP production through several mechanisms. At the level of the citric acid cycle, arsenic inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase and by competing with phosphate it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, thus inhibiting energy-linked reduction of NAD+, mitochondrial respiration, and ATP synthesis. Hydrogen peroxide production is also increased, which might form reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. Arsenic's carginogenicity is influenced by the arsenical binding of tubulin, which results in aneuploidy, polyploidy and mitotic arrests. The binding of other arsenic protein targets may also cause altered DNA repair enzyme activity, altered DNA methylation patterns and cell proliferation. (T1, A17)

The sorption of arsenic, phosphate, disodium methanearsonate, and the sodium salt of cacodylic acid by 16 Mississippi river alluvial flood plain soils is measured in a slurry experiment in which initial pH and molar solution concn for all four solutes are identical. Sorption of the two organoarsenical herbicides is strongly correlated with arsenate and phophate sorption, and sorption of all four species is strongly correlated with clay and iron oxide contents of the soils.

Evolution of gaseous arsenic from DSMA-treated soil was a function of organic matter and moisture content. Greatest loss of arsenic was from soil containing 11% added organic matter and maintained under reduced conditions. The sorbed arsenic was predominantly in the form of iron arsenate. Aluminum arsenate was the next most abundant form.

Studies have identified the compound evolved from cultures of Penicillium brevicaule containing DSMA as trimethylarsine.

VOLUNTEERS INGESTED A SINGLE ORAL DOSE OF 500 MG ARSENIC AS DISODIUM METHANEARSONATE. AFTER 4 DAYS, 78% OF INGESTED ARSENIC WAS EXCRETED IN URINE. METHANEARSONATE IS 13% METHYLATED INTO DIMETHYLARSINATE.

Arsenic is absorbed mainly by inhalation or ingestion, as to a lesser extent, dermal exposure. It is then distributed throughout the body, where it is reduced into arsenite if necessary, then methylated into monomethylarsenic (MMA) and dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) by arsenite methyltransferase. Arsenic and its metabolites are primarily excreted in the urine. Arsenic is known to induce the metal-binding protein metallothionein, which decreases the toxic effects of arsenic and other metals by binding them and making them biologically inactive, as well as acting as an antioxidant.
