3.4. RISK CHARACTERIZATION

3.4.1. Overview

There is no basis for asserting that any risk is plausible to either workers or members of the

general public in the use of Gypchek to control the gypsy moth. As discussed in both the

exposure and dose-response assessments, the current risk assessment extends the U.S. EPA risk

assessment by proposing a surrogate acute RfD and presenting a very conservative exposure

assessment based on the accidental spray of a home garden. This approach is taken simply to

facilitate the comparison of risks (or lack of risk) associated with Gypchek to the risks associated

with other agents used to control the gypsy moth. Based on a relatively standard dose-response

assessment and very conservative exposure assumptions, plausible exposures to Gypchek are

below a level of concern by factors of about 50 to over 750. While more typical exposures – i.e.,

incidental exposure to Gypchek in water or air – are not provided, they will be substantially less

than the range of doses in the accidental exposure scenarios used to quantify risk.
