EPA created a listserver (Listserv) or 'mailing group' to communicate information about EDSP peer reviews. A Listserv is an electronic mailing list that makes it possible to reach all individuals in a mailing group with a single e-mail message sent over the Internet.Interested parties may sign up to receive periodic e-mail notifications announcing the availability of EDSP peer review materials, including information on the availability of peer review materials to be posted on this Web site. These materials may include the documents to be peer reviewed, background documents, the charge to the peer reviewers, and reports that summarize the results of peer reviews.EPA may choose to use the Listserv to announce updates on other EDSP program components in the future.
Prior to doing so, EPA will send a message to the current Listserv community announcing the expansion of its intended use to provide members the opportunity to unsubscribe should they no longer be interested in receiving updates.

. (45 pp, 627.6 K, )The EPA has released its reviews of the Tier 1 screening assay results for the first 52 pesticide chemicals (active and inert ingredients) in the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program. This is an important step in a multi-step process to protect public health and the environment by ensuring that exposure to chemicals do not result in adverse effects that can occur from the disruption of hormones.
The Tier 1 screening data are the best way to determine whether a chemical has the potential to interact with the endocrine system and requires more thorough testing.For each chemical, EPA decides whether additional (Tier 2) testing is necessary. These decisions are based on weighing whether the evidence from the assay results, as well as other scientifically relevant data, showing more potential for endocrine bioactivity outweighs the evidence that it does not. On This Page.?.?.?.?.?.?.What Action is EPA Taking?EPA is releasing Tier 1 screening results for 52 chemicals included in the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). Tier 1 test orders were originally issued for 67 chemicals. However, 15 of these chemicals were subsequently cancelled or discontinued by the pesticide registrant and are no longer in use. This is an important step in a multi-step process to protect public health and the environment by ensuring that exposure to chemicals does not result in adverse effects that can occur from the disruption of hormones.What did EPA Find?Of the 52 chemicals evaluated, there was no evidence for potential interaction with any of the endocrine pathways for 20 chemicals, and for 14 chemicals that showed potential interaction with one or more pathways, EPA already has enough information to conclude that they do not pose risks. Of the remaining 18 chemicals, all 18 showed potential interaction with the thyroid pathway, 17 of them with the androgen pathway, and 14 also potentially interacted with the estrogen pathway.EPA is recommending a comparative thyroid assay for four chemicals that showed interaction with the thyroid pathway, in mammals, a medaka one-generation reproductive test for 13 chemicals that showed interaction with the estrogen or androgen pathways in wildlife, and a larval amphibian growth and development assay for five chemicals that showed interaction with the thyroid pathway in wildlife.
This will help us better understand the potential of these chemicals to cause adverse effects through interaction with the endocrine system. For several of the chemicals displaying bioactivity in the screening tests, EPA already has enough information to conclude that they do not pose risks.What Tests Were Conducted on These Chemicals During Tier 1 Screening?EDSP’s Tier 1 screening is used to determine if chemicals have the potential to interact with the three hormonal pathways in the body’s endocrine system – estrogen, androgen and thyroid pathways. 11 assays, five in vitro (cell systems) and six in vivo (live animal) are used to determine whether these chemicals interact with these three hormone pathways.
We look at the results of this data as well as other scientifically relevant information, including general toxicity data and open literature studies of sufficient quality.What Do the Test Results Mean?The purpose of Tier 1 screening is to identify chemicals that have the potential to interact with the estrogen, androgen or thyroid hormonal systems. The screening results for these 52 chemicals are only determinations of their potential to disrupt endocrine function. A result indicating potential should not be construed as meaning that EPA has concluded that the chemical is an endocrine disruptor.
EPA plans to require additional testing, known as Tier 2 testing, for chemicals that we have decided need more test data in order to fully understand their impacts on the endocrine system.Will EPA Require Further Testing on These Chemicals?EPA plans to require additional testing, known as Tier 2 testing, for chemicals that we have decided need more test data in order to fully understand their impacts on the endocrine system. Tier 2 testing will not be required for those chemicals we found to have little or no impact on the endocrine system.It’s important to note that endocrine disruptor screening is just one category of testing EPA conducts on chemicals to determine their health and environmental impacts.
Chemicals in this list of 52 that do not require further endocrine disruptor testing could still require other testing as part of the risk assessments conducted by EPA.(45 pp, 627.6 K, )Where Can I Find the Tier 1 Screening Results for the Chemicals Tested?Tier 1 screening results are available for the following chemicals. In addition, as data evaluation records are available, those reports will be added for each chemicals.Contacts.
