Calculation of net tumor incidence:

 

Net tumor incidence (%)   = % Tum.(T) - % Tum.(C) / [ 100% - % Tum.(C) ]

                                          = 22.45%

 

Correction for standard lifespan:

 

- Study duration: 105 wks

- Standard lifespan: 104 wks

 

Corrected dose = 99.12 * 105 / 104 = 100.07 mg/m3

 

Calculation of T25:

 

T25   = corrected dose * 25% tumor incidence / net tumor incidence

          = 111.45 mg/m3

 

Modifications of the dose descriptor:

      

- Differences in inhalation absorption: no correction

- Route-to-route extrapolation: no correction

- Correction factor for workers (light activity) = 6.7 m3/ 10 m3= 0.67      

- Correction factor for exposure conditions = (6h/8h) * (52wk/48wk)* (75y/40y) = 1.5

with:

8h daily exposure for workers vs. 6h testing conditions

48 wk/year exposure for workers vs. 52wk/year testing conditions

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The LC50 value (28350 mg/m3) from the acute inhalation study with rats by Zeller and Klimish (1979) was selected for the point of departure. To obtain the corrected LC50 value, the following aspects were taken into consideration:

  • exposure duration: using the modified Haber’s law formula: Cn*t=k with n=3 (as specified in Appendix R8-8)
  • worker light activity (10 m3/person/8h work instead of normal activity 6.7 m3/person/8h).

Overall assessment factor (AF):
50
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
9 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
75.6 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Closed systems are used for the production and industrial use of 1,1-dichloroethene. Therefore dermal exposure of workers to 1,1-dichloroethene is unlikely. A dermal DNEL was nevertheless derived to provide a guidance value in case such figure would be necessary in some particular (currently not considered) cases.

No chronic dermal exposure studies are available allowing the direct calculation of a DNEL. Therefore a route-to-route extrapolation was performed based on the key value (NOAELoral 9 mg/kg bw/d) from a chronic oral study (Quast et al. 1983, 24h/day, exposure 7 days/week, 24 months treatment period).

In order to introduce a sufficient degree of conservatism in the approach the following assumptions were made:

  • ABSoral = ABSdermal
  • ABSrat = ABShuman

 

However, because the very high volatility of the substance, a conservative assumption was made that 50% of the applied substance would not be available for absorption due to evaporation leading to a NOAELdermal of 18 mg/kg bw / d. This assumption is supported by the data of Dilling (1977) and by the observation made by Fasano et al. (2008) which mention that the evaporation of the substance significantly hindered the in vitro dermal absorption experiments.

 

The corrected NOAEL of 18.9 mg/kg was obtained by considering the e exposure regime (24h/day, 7days/week versus 8h/day, 5 days/week).

Corrected NOAEL = 18 mg/kg bw * (24h / 8h) * (7d / 5d) = 75.6 mg/kg bw/d
