Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
0.66 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):
18
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
3.25 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
11.79 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Starting point is the NOAEL for the registered substance (see discussion) which is based upon cross-reading from the 28-day study on (Z)-octadec-9 –enylamine resulting to a NOAEL of 3.25 mg/kg bw/day. This is then converted to the corresponding value of the salt, resulting to a NOAEL of about 6.7 mg/kg bw/day: Mw oleylamine = 267.5, MW salt = 547.5 ; 3.25 x 547.5/267.5 = 6.7 mg/kg bw/day From this follows for the corrected 8 hr inhalation NOAEC for workers (6.7 mg/kg) * 1.76 mg/m3 = 11.79 mg/m3. No factor 2 for route extrapolation from oral to inhalationis applied. Due to very low vp (<< 0.0075 Pa as this is based on the available data on oleylamine), significant exposure is only possible as aerosol. If any inhalation does occur, this can only be in the form of larger droplets, as the use does not include fine spraying. Droplets will deposit mainly on upper airways, and will be subsequently swallowed following mucociliary transportation to pharynx. This results to no principal difference in absorption compared oral route.
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
No specific concerns; starting point is NOAEL, effects at LOAEL are not severe and of local nature.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
Default assessment factor for subacute to chronic.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Already included in NOAEC calculation
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
ECETOC reported in 2010 after an extensive review that there is no justification for the suggested additional factor of 2.5 for this, therefore a factor of 1 has been applied. As effects are interpreted as being local and related to the route of exposure (see comments), the already applied allometric scaling already represents a worst case.
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
ECETOC reported in 2010 after an extensive scientific review that the appropriate fact for intra-species differences for workers is 3 and not 5. As the effects for which the risk assessment is made is based on a local response following an non-specific mechanism with expected inherently relative low variation between individuals, no additional factor is needed to accommodate for possible high uncertainty between individuals on the basis of possible specific sensitivities.
AF for the quality of the whole database:

A dermal rate has been established to be 60 % dermal absorption may be taken as a worst case for assessment purposes (value taken from the existing EU risk assessment on primary alkylamines) leading to a NOAEL dermal of 11.16 mg/kg bw/day.

Additional information - workers

The registered substance is a salt composed of primary hydrogenated alkylamine and N-hydrogenated tallow fatty acid. As the primary alkyl amine part is much more toxic than the tallow fatty acid part, it is expected that the toxicological behaviour of the substance will not be far different from that of the primary alkylamine compounds or at least not more severe. This has been demonstrated by results obtained with the registered substance in a short-term repeated toxicity study (e.g. 14 days). Thus, assessment of the registered substance can be integrated in thecurrent approach of grouping of primary alkylamines substances. Regarding the toxicity of these latter, it has been expected that the members with a shorter chain and/or a higher degree of insaturation will have a higher toxicity among the category or at least will represent the worst case. Thus, a read-across could be applied to longer chains into shorter and to saturated molecules into unsaturated ones.

Starting point is the NOAEL for the registered substance which is based upon cross-reading from the 28-day study on (Z)-octadec-9 –enylamine resulting to a NOAEL of 3.25 mg/kg bw/day. This is then converted to the corresponding value of the salt, resulting to a NOAEL of about 6.7 mg/kg bw/day: Mw oleylamine = 267.5, MW salt = 547.5 ; 3.25 x 547.5/267.5 = 6.7 mg/kg bw/day From this follows for the corrected 8 hr inhalation NOAEC for workers (6.7 mg/kg) * 1.76 mg/m3 = 11.79 mg/m3.

Additional information - General Population

No exposure of the general population to the registered substance based on the uses indicated in this dossier that are limited to industrial manufacture and formulation.

However, to allow for evaluation from indirect exposures via the environment, DNELs have been derived for systemic toxicity from long term exposures via all routes.
