1 Ethephon Ethephon Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB Ethephon is an organophosphorus compound that,

upon absorption into plants, forms ethylene gas which is an important component of the plant hormone complex. The Agency is conducting an aggregate ( single chemical, multi route) risk assessment of ethephon. 2 Ethephon Ethephon Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 1. Scientific considerations:

The Agency's WOE document and DERs for ethephon describe the study design and results of the ethephon repeat dose, oral, human toxicity studies. The WOE document also discusses the Agency's conclusions regarding the usefulness of the human studies in the aggregate, single chemical risk assessment. The Agency has concluded that the 28 day human study is sufficiently robust to establish a point of departure for extrapolating acute and chronic dietary risk.

Please comment on the scientific evidence that supports this conclusion. 3 Ethephon Ethephon Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations:

In its ethics review of this research, EPA documented that the study reports contained very little information concerning the ethical conduct of the research and that the available information raised no ethical concerns. The Agency asks that the Board provide comment on the following,

taking into account all that is known about the ethical conduct of each study: 4 Ethephon Ethephon Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations, cont'd:

 OPP's conclusion that there is not clear and convincing evidence that the conduct of the research was fundamentally unethical; and  whether there is clear and convincing evidence that the conduct of the study was significantly deficient relative to the ethical standards prevailing when the study was conducted.
