Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
7.38 µg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
300
Dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEL
Value:
1.7 mg/m³
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEL
Value:
2.38 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

A systemic LOAEL of 1.7 mg (Cr (VI)/kg bw/day was determined in an oral 90 day repeated dose toxicity studyin rats (NTP, 2007a). This value was converted into the corrected dermal NOAEL taking into account the the correction factor between human and experimental exposure conditions of workers (5 working days vs. 7 days continuous exposure) of 1.4. No correction for absorption rates is needed as the absorption rates for the dermal and oral route are the same (10 %).

LOAEC corrected = 1.7 mg/kg bw/day * 1.4 = 2.38 mg/kg bw/day

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

A LOAEL of 1.7 mg/kg bw /day was determined for the substance in a sub-chronic repeated-dose toxicity study in mice (NTP, 2007a). This value does not have to be corrected, as the oral absorption rates in human and rat are considered to be identical.
