15、 Exposed to Petroelum Hydrocarbons3-21-11. Executive SummaryLivestock may be exposed to accidental releases of petroleum hydrocarbons at or near exploration andproduction sites and, in these cases, there may be a need to estimate potential risks to these receptors. Aframework was developed to 1) det

16、ermine when livestock should be included in a risk evaluation and 2)estimate risks of petroleum hydrocarbon exposure to livestock. A conceptual site model (CSM) wasdeveloped to assess whether complete and significant exposure pathways for livestock exist at a site.To estimate potential risks in this

17、 screening-level risk assessment, toxicity reference values (TRVs) anddrinking water and soil risk-based screening levels (RBSLs) for petroleum hydrocarbons, including: crudeoil; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX); and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)were developed for livestoc

18、k. TRVs and RBSLs were developed for the protection of a variety oflivestock including dairy cattle, beef cattle, calves, sheep, goats, camels, and horses.TRVs for petroleum hydrocarbons were based on available toxicity values from studies conducted onlivestock, if available, or on small mammals ext

19、rapolated to be protective of livestock evaluated in thisreport. RBSLs were calculated for the two complete and significant exposure pathways identified in theCSM, drinking water ingestion and incidental soil ingestion. Drinking water and soil RBSLs werecalculated based on the TRVs and the selected

20、exposure assumptions for the livestock.The TRVs and RBSLs developed for this framework were comparable to human health RBSLs as shownin the following table:Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs; mg/kg-bw/day)Livestock Crude Oil Benzene Toluene Ethylbenzene Xylene LMW PAH HMW PAHDairy Cattle 211 5.70 35.6

IntroductionConsumption of petroleum hydrocarbons by livestock has been found to lead to a range of healthproblems

26、, including neurotoxicity (Coppock et al. 1995; Khan et al. 1995), fetal toxicity (Coppock et al.1995), damage to the gastrointestinal tract (Coppock et al. 1996), respiratory system, kidney, and liver(Meadows and Waltner-Toews 1979; Edwards 1985a; Coppock et al. 1995; Coppock et al. 1996; Stober196

27、2). Petroleum ingestion has also been linked to anorexia (Edwards and Zinn 1979), lethargy(Meadows and Waltner-Toews 1979; Edwards 1985b), and fatal poisoning in cattle (Edwards and Zinn1979; Meadows and Waltner-Toews 1979; Edwards and Gregory 1991).The purpose of this study was to develop toxicity

28、values and screening guidelines for evaluating risks tolivestock from exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons. This report addresses how to: (1) determinewhether livestock should be included in a risk evaluation, and (2) estimate risks of petroleum hydrocarbonexposures to livestock.In this report, the ap

29、proach used to develop toxicity values and screening guidelines for livestock frompetroleum hydrocarbon exposures was divided into two steps: The first step included evaluation of the potential for exposure through the development of aconceptual site model (CSM). The second step included development

30、 of Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) and Risk-BasedScreening Levels (RBSLs) for the protection of livestock.This report focused on whole crude oil and its toxicologically important constituents (i.e. benzene,toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene BTEX and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs). Metals ca

31、nalso be present in petroleum products, but they are generally not found at high enough concentrations toprovide a significant health risk (Magaw et al., 1999) and therefore metals are not addressed in this report.The approach presented herein is consistent with a screening-level risk assessment and

32、 used aconservative approach to determine potential risks to receptors by comparing exposure levels ofpetroleum hydrocarbons from a site to petroleum hydrocarbon threshold levels protective of livestock.Although threshold values for the protection of livestock have been developed by some agencies (e

33、.g.,Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment CCME and Alberta Environment), these values areeither region-specific or cover limited constituents of petroleum hydrocarbons. In this study, a moregeneralized approach was used to develop conservative threshold values such as TRVs (i.e., toxicity

34、values) and RBSLs (i.e., guidelines) for petroleum hydrocarbons that can be used to characterize risks tolivestock across a variety of conditions.3-13. Conceptual Site ModelA conceptual site model (CSM) identifies complete and potentially complete exposure pathways andreceptors to be considered in a

35、 risk assessment. If no complete significant pathway(s) exist for exposureof livestock to petroleum hydrocarbons, a screening-level risk evaluation for livestock is not necessary.By definition, if there is little to no significant exposure to a potentially toxic compound, there is little tono likeli

36、hood of significant unacceptable risk to the receptor from that compound. A CSM was developedas presented in Figure 1 to assess the potential for exposures to livestock and the need for a riskevaluation. Components of a CSM generally include receptor evaluation and exposure pathwayevaluation, which

37、are described below.3.1 Receptor EvaluationLivestock that are potentially vulnerable to toxic effects of petroleum hydrocarbons include animals thatcould ingest significant quantities of soil, water, and/or food in oil-contaminated areas. Access to thecontaminated areas is key; cattle, sheep, goats,

38、 and horses that forage in pasture areas are more likely tobe potential receptors, while species that are raised in more confined and controlled conditions, such aschickens or pigs, would have less chance of exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons. Outside of the UnitedStates, other types of livestock an

39、imals may also be exposed to petroleum compounds, such as camels,llamas, oxen, etc. It was assumed that exposures to these receptors would be similar to those of typicallivestock in the United States based on similarities in body weights and feeding habits.3.2 Pathway EvaluationThe pathways by which

40、 livestock could be exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons are incidental soilingestion, water ingestion, and direct ingestion, inhalation, dermal absorption, and plant ingestion. Basedon available information, the primary exposure pathways considered significant in the exposure model asshow in the CSM (

41、Figure 1) included incidental soil ingestion, water ingestion, and direct petroleumproduct ingestion. Inhalation, dermal absorption, and plant ingestion were considered minor pathways forpetroleum hydrocarbons (CCME 2000). The exposure pathways listed above are described in more detailbelow.3.2.1 So

42、il IngestionSoil can comprise a substantial proportion of the livestock diet. Livestock may consume soil inadvertentlyduring grazing (Zach and Mayoh 1984; CCME 2000) or may intentionally ingest salty-tasting soil(Coppock et al. 1995). According to the CCME (2000), cattle are exposed to petroleum hyd

43、rocarbonsprimarily through consumption of contaminated soils, particularly during grazing. The authors state thatthe majority of petroleum hydrocarbon exposure in cattle is due to ingestion of surface soils.3.2.2 Water IngestionChronic exposure through drinking water can be a significant exposure pa

44、thway for livestock (CCME2000). The amount of water ingested by cattle varies according to age, physiological status (growth,fattening, pregnancy, lactation), diet composition, breed, size, and, for all animals, temperature(Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 2001; National Research Council NRC 1988).3

48、tionCattle may directly ingest crude oil and other petroleum compounds from pools of oil formed by leakingpipelines or storage tanks (Edwards and Zinn 1979; Coppock et al. 1995; CCME 2000) due to curiosity(particularly in young calves; Edwards 1985b), or to add salt to their diet (Edwards 1985b, Cop

49、pock et al.1995). Reported cases include steers consuming petroleum distillate, drinking from a slush pit, anddrinking petroleum from puddles near a tank battery (Edwards and Zinn 1979). Oil and natural gasindustry guidance (API 1997) and many regulatory agencies (e.g., the Railroad Commission of Texas1993) stress the importance of removing free-oil accumulations on the ground that animals couldpotentially ingest.3.2.4 Dermal AbsorptionDermal absorption of petroleum hydrocarbons in livestock is considered a minor exposure pathwaybecause of their thick coats (CCME 2000).
