Monte Carlo analysis was used to estimate the distribution of dietary carcinogenic risk from the consumption of ethylene bisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) pesticide residues on food crops. The results of the Monte Carlo analysis were compared to the single-point estimate of risk calculated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA risk estimate was found to lie between the 80th and 85th percentile of the risk distribution produced by Monte Carlo analysis. The utility of Monte Carlo analysis was discussed with respect to the incorporation of uncertainty into the estimation of dietary risk and the applicability of this method for the evaluation of the negligible risk and de minimis risk issues stemming from the Delaney clause. Background discussions of the Delaney clause, uncertainty in the risk assessment process, and EBDCs are also presented.
