Value:

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

LOAECcorr = LOAELoral*(1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day)*(ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human)*(6.7 m³ (8h)/10 m³ (8h))*(7 days exposure rat/5 days exposure worker) = 100 mg/kg bw/day*(1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day)*(1/1)*0.67*1.4 = 246.8 mg/m³.

In contrast to the recommendations of the ECHA Guidance, a factor of 1 (equal absorption of 100% assumed for the oral and the inhalative route for animals and humans) was included for the extrapolation from oral to inhalation absorption, as there is no valid data suggesting that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion (recommendation of the VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008). Molecules with a molecular weight <500 and a log Kow between 0 and 4 can be assumed to be well absorbed equivalently by the oral and inhalation route. Oral absorption may be reduced for acids and bases depending on their pKa value and their electric charge in the GI tract. More lipophilic substances may be better absorbed in the GI tract due to solubilisation with bile acids, and thus oral absorption may be higher than inhalation absorption (VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008). Unless valid data suggest that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion, equal absorption will be assumed when extrapolating from oral to inhalation route. ABSoral-rat=oral absorption rate in rats, ABSinh-human=inhalation absorption rate in humans .

Reproductive toxicity

For the oral route, a reliable key OECD 421 study in compliance with GLP is available for methyl-N-{[dimethoxy(methyl)silyl]methyl}carbamate (CAS 23432-65-7) (Eurofins, 2015). This study is a valid investigation of the toxicological effects resulting from repeated oral-gavage administration of the test item to male and female rats before mating, during mating and during gestation until delivery. The test substance was administered in corn oil as vehicle at dosages of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day, and controls received the vehicle alone. Based on mortality and decreased viability of the off-springs which is considered treatment related findings in all dose groups no NOAEL could be established. The LOAEL is considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Inhalation route – worker:

The following correction was made to the oral LOAEL:

Correction for relative absorption oral vs. inhalation: 1

Correction for respiratory volume (rat/worker): 0.38 m³/kg bw (8 h)

Correction for respiratory volume (worker, light physical activity): 6.7 m³/10 m³

Correction for differences between human and experimental exposure conditions: 7 days/week of experimental exposure / 5 days/week exposure of workers

Therefore, the corrected LOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via inhalation is:

100 mg/kg bw x 1/0.38 m³/kg bw x (6.7 m³/10 m³) x 1.4= 246.8 mg/m³

 

Dermal route – worker:

As no reliable information is available from acute dermal or dermal repeated dose toxicity tests regarding dermal absorption, a conservative approach is applied, and thus the relative dermal absorption as compared to the oral absorption was set to 1.

Therefore, the corrected LOAEL for reproductive effects via dermal route is:

100 mg/kg bw x 1 = 100 mg/kg bw/day

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

In contrast to the recommendations of the ECHA Guidance, a factor of 1 (equal absorption of 100% assumed for the oral and the inhalative route for animals and humans) was included for the extrapolation from oral to inhalation absorption, as there is no valid data suggesting that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion (recommendation of the VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008).

Reproductive toxicity

For the oral route, a reliable key OECD 421 study in compliance with GLP is available for methyl-N-{[dimethoxy(methyl)silyl]methyl}carbamate (CAS 23432-65-7) (Eurofins, 2015). This study is a valid investigation of the toxicological effects resulting from repeated oral-gavage administration of the test item to male and female rats before mating, during mating and during gestation until delivery. The test substance was administered in corn oil as vehicle at dosages of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day, and controls received the vehicle alone. Based on mortality and decreased viability of the off-springs which is considered treatment related findings in all dose groups no NOAEL could be established. The LOAEL is considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.

  

Inhalation route – general population:

The following correction was made to the oral LOAEL:

Correction for relative absorption oral vs. inhalation: 1

Correction for respiratory volume (rat/general population): 1.15 m³/kg bw (24 h)

Therefore, the corrected LOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via inhalation is:

100 mg/kg bw x 1/1.15 m³/kg bw = 87.0 mg/m³

 

Dermal route – general population:

As no reliable information is available from acute dermal or dermal repeated dose toxicity tests regarding dermal absorption, a conservative approach is applied, and thus the relative dermal absorption as compared to the oral absorption was set to 1.

Therefore, the corrected LOAEL for reproductive effects via dermal route is:

100 mg/kg bw x 1 = 100 mg/kg bw/day

Oral route – general population:

No rote to route extrapolation was necessary
