【Other Preventative Measures】
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.

【Biomedical Effects and Toxicity】
To investigate the localization of fipronil in dog skin, (14)C-fipronil was topically applied to a male beagle dog (spot-on administration) at the therapeutic dose of 10 mg/kg. By means of autohistoradiography, the radioactivity was precisely detected in the skin and appendages at various intervals after application. Radioactivity was predominantly observed within the stratum corneum, the viable epidermis, and in the pilo-sebaceous units (mainly in the sebaceous glands and epithelial layers). (14)C-fipronil was significantly detected in these structures up to 56 days post-treatment, in the application zone (neck) but also in the lumbar zone, thus indicating the mechanical displacement of fipronil. No radioactivity was detected in either the dermal or the hypodermal layers, confirming the low percutaneous passage of fipronil. [Cochet P et al; Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 22 (3): 211-6 (1997)] PubMed Abstract
With oral dosing /in the rat using 14C labeled or unlabeled fipronil/, the rate and extent of absorption appeared similar among all dose groups, but may have been decreased at the high dose. There were no significant sex-related differences in excretion. Feces appeared to be the major route of excretion for fipronil derived radioactivity, where 45-75% of an administered dose was excreted. Excretion in urine was between 5-25%.
Absorption of 14C-fipronil through epidermal membranes of humans, rabbits, and rats was measured in vitro in horizontal glass diffusion cells. ...The epidermal membranes were set up as a barrier between the two halves of the diffusion cells, and the absorption rates of a neat suspension of fipronil (200 g/L) as a formulation in EP60145A (a formulation base) and of two aqueous dilutions of the formulation containing 0.2 and 4 g/L of fipronil suspended in EP 60145A were determined... . Fipronil at doses of 4 and 200 g/L penetrated rabbit and rat epidermal membranes to a greater extent than those of humans, whereas at 0.2 g/L the extent of penetration was similar through human and rat skin. The extent of penetration increased with time across species. The % of the applied dose that had penetrated the different membranes after 8 hr was 0.08% through rat epidermal membranes, 0.07% through rabbit membranes, and 0.01% through human membranes for the neat formulation; 0.14, 0.67, and 0.07% of the dose of 4.0 g/L active ingredient; and 0.9, 13.9, and 0.9% of the dose of 0.2 g/L active ingredient, respectively. At the dose of 4.0 g/L, fipronil penetrated the skin of all three species more slowly than either testosterone or hydrocortisone. These two reference permeants were selected because their intrinsic rates of dermal penetration differ by two orders of magnitude, that of testosterone being faster. On the basis of the results for these two compounds, fipronil was considered to be a slow penetrant when applied as a formulation in EP 60145A.
In a study of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of fipronil in ruminants, [phenyl(U)-14C]-fipronil (19.2 mCi/mmol) was administered orally by capsule twice daily before feeding to three lactating goats at a dose of 0.05, 2, or 10 ppm for 7 days; assuming a daily intake of 2.0 kg dry matter, these doses are approx equivalent to nominal daily doses of 0.1, 4, and 20 mg, respectively. Milk was collected twice daily. The animals were killed about 24 hr after admin of the final dose and tissues obtained for analysis. The recovery of radiolabel in urine, milk, and tissues indicated that the min absorption of test material was about 19% at 0.05 ppm, 33% at 2 ppm, and 15% at 10 ppm. Of the administered radiolabel, 18-64% was recovered in feces, 1-5% in the milk, and 8-25% in the tissues. Total recovery was similar at the low (83%) and high doses (77%) but was somewhat lower at the intermediate dose (50%). The greatest contributor to the difference in recovery between the animals at the low and high doses and those at the intermediate dose was the amount of radiolabel excreted in the feces: 18% of the total radiolabel administered at 2 ppm, 64% at 0.05 ppm, and 61% at 10 ppm. The reason for this difference is not clear. The greatest total tissue residues were observed in omental and renal fat (about 1.9 ppm at the 10 ppm dose), followed by liver (0.86 ppm) and much lower concns in kidney, milk (0.17 ppm), and skeletal muscle.
[phenyl(U)-14C]-Fipronil (19.2 mCi/mmol) was administered orally in capsules daily before feeding to groups of 5 laying hens at doses of 0.05, 2, or 10 ppm for 28 days; assuming a daily intake of 150 g dry matter, these doses were equivalent to nominal daily intakes of 0.0075, 0.3, and 1.5 mg, respectively. Eggs were collected twice daily. The animals were killed about 24 hr after admin of the final dose, and tissues were obtained. Of the administered radiolabel, 28-42% was recovered in excreta, 15-18% in eggs, and 1-5% in tissues; the total recovered was 52-58%. The greatest total tissue residues after admin of the highest dose were found in peritoneal fat (56 ppm). The levels in eggs were also high (30 ppm in yolks) after this dose and had not plateaued by the end of the study. The levels were lower in skin (17 ppm) and much lower in liver, egg white, and muscle.

Environmental Fate and Exposure Potential

【Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary】
TERRESTRIAL FATE: An experimental Koc range of 1,086-6,863(SRC) was determined for fipronil based on its log Kom range of 2.8-3.6(4), and a conversion equation(5). According to a classification scheme(1), the Koc values of 500 to 2,000 are low and values >5,000 indicate immobility in soil. Volatilization of fipronil from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(3) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.4X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.78X10-9 mm Hg(2), and water solubility, 1.9 mg/l(2). Fipronil is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 2.78X10-9 mm Hg(2). The photolytic rate constant for the photodegradation of fipronil in soils ranges from 0.0047/hr to 0.0032/hr(4). The corresponding range for the half-lives of the reaction are 147 hours to 217 hours, respectively(4). Studies have shown that the extent of photodegradation is inversely proportional to the concentration of organic matter in the soil(4). The nitrile group of fipronil may undergo hydrolysis to the corresponding amide metabolite by chemical or biological processes. It has been reported that in acidic soil, the amide metabolite results more from biological activity rather than chemical hydrolysis(5). Studies also indicate that a sulfone and sulfide metabolite may occur from oxidative and reductive degradation processes in soils(5). Oxidation of fipronil to the corresponding sulfone can result from biological or chemical processes, however, studies indicate that the major degradation process was probably a chemical transformation(5).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1) and an experimental Koc range of 1,086-6,863(SRC), determined from its log Kom values of 2.8-3.6(7), and a conversion equation(2), fipronil is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(2) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.4X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.78X10-9 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 1.9 mg/l(6). According to a classification scheme(3), an estimated BCF of 240(SRC), from its log Kow of 4.0(5) and a regression-derived equation(4), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). Fipronil is stable to hydrolysis under acidic (pH 5.5) and neutral (pH 7) conditions. The rate of hydrolysis of fipronil under alkaline conditions was measured and it was found that degradation increased proportionally with an increase in pH; the corresponding half-life for the hydrolysis reaction is 770 hours at pH 9, 114 hours at pH 10, 11 hours at pH 11, and 2.4 hours at pH 12(6). Fipronil in acidic (pH 5.5) aqueous solution exposed to light from a xenon lamp revealed two parallel photodegradation reactions with the appearance of the trifluoromethylpyrazole derivative and the pyrazole-4-sulfonic acid derivative(6). The photolytic rate constants for the reactions are 0.11/hr and 0.05/hr(6), respectively. The corresponding half-lives for the reactions are 6.3 hours(SRC) and 13.86 hours(SRC), derived from the experimental rate constants and a conversion equation(4).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), fipronil, which has a vapor pressure of 2.78X10-9 mm Hg at 25 deg C(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase fipronil may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).
