Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
17.7 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
180 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
443.52 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

An OECD 408 compliant 90 -day study in rat via oral route with BPA-2PO resulted to aNOAEL of 180 mg/kg/day. The corrected 8 hr inhalation NOAEC for workers is NOAEL (180) * 1.76 *1 *1.4 mg/m3 = 443.52 mg/m3.

- 1 : factor 1 for route extrapolation from oral to inhalation is applied However, it is worthy to note that due to very low vp (<0.0015 Pa), exposure is only possible as aerosol.

If any exposure via inhalation does occur, this can only be in the form of larger droplets, as the use does not include fine spraying or mists.

Droplets will deposit mainly on upper airways, and will be subsequently swallowed following mucociliary transportation to pharynx. This results to no principal differences in absorption compared to oral route. Thus, apply a factor 1 is still a very conservatism approach.

- 1.4 : correction for differences between human and experimental exposure condition (workers)

- 1.76 : correction for differences in respiratory volume (workers) 

AF for dose response relationship:

DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
18 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral

Overall assessment factor (AF):
100
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
180 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 800 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Starting point: NOAEL of 180 mg/kg bw/day in a sub-chronic oral toxicity study in rats. As oral absorption is considered to be 100 % and dermal absorption is considered to be 10%, a factor of 10 for dermal absorption will be applied. Thus, the modified dose descriptor starting point is 1800 mg/kg bw/day.

AF for dose response relationship:
