Estimate of acceptable daily <strong>in</strong>take for humans<br />

0–0.01 mg/kg bw<br />

Estimate of acute reference dose<br />

0.03 mg/kg bw<br />

Information that would be useful for the cont<strong>in</strong>ued evaluation of the compound<br />

Results from epidemiological, occupational health and other such observational studies of<br />

human exposures<br />

Critical end-po<strong>in</strong>ts for sett<strong>in</strong>g guidance values for exposure to thiacloprid<br />

Absorption, distribution, excretion and metabolism <strong>in</strong> animals<br />

Rate and extent of oral absorption Rapid and almost complete, based on oral and <strong>in</strong>travenous adm<strong>in</strong>istration of<br />

low dose<br />

Dermal absorption<br />

No data<br />

Distribution<br />

Widely; highest concentrations <strong>in</strong> liver, kidneys, lung, adrenals and thyroid<br />

Rate and extent of excretion<br />

Rapid, > 90% with<strong>in</strong> 48 h; 60–83% <strong>in</strong> ur<strong>in</strong>e, up to 34% <strong>in</strong> faeces (largely due<br />

to biliary excretion)<br />

Potential for accumulation<br />

No evidence of accumulation<br />

Metabolism <strong>in</strong> mammals<br />

Extensive; C- and N-hydroxylation, S-oxidation and methylation, oxidativer<strong>in</strong>g<br />

cleavage and methylene-bridge cleavage, conjugation<br />
