Toxicology. An excellent review of the toxicity and health assessment of ethylene oxide has been compiled (233). Ethylene oxide (EO) can be relatively toxic as both a Hquid and gas. Inhalation of ethylene oxide ia high concentrations may be fatal. Estimates of lethal ethylene oxide inhalation levels in animals depend on the duration of exposure. The reported 4-h LC q values for rats, mice, and dogs are 1460, 835, and 960 ppm, respectively (234). More recent information (235) indicates that the 1-h LC q in rats is approximately 5000 ppm.

The following categories of possible data needs have been identified by a joint team of scientists from ATSDR, NTP, and EPA. They are defined as substance-specific informational needs that if met would reduce the uncertainties of human health assessment. This definition should not be interpreted to mean that all data needs discussed in this section must be filled. In the future, the identified data needs will be evaluated and prioritized, and a substance-specific research agenda will be proposed.

Estimated Upper-Bound Human Cancer Risk Levels This is the range associated with the upper-bound for lifetime cancer risk of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 10,000,000. These risk levels are derived from the EPA s Human Health Assessment Group s upper-bound estimates of the slope of the cancer dose response curve at low dose levels (qi ).

Incorporate other measures to track disease progress. Use radiography to assess severity of joint destruction, determine 50-ft walking time and grip strength, and administer the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire, where appropriate, to assess activities of daily living.

Substance-Specific Data Needs Related to Toxicological Profiles (ATSDR 1989), is substance-specific information necessary to conduct comprehensive public health assessments. Generally, ATSDR defines a data gap more broadly as any substance-specific information missing from the scientific literature.
