Discussion

Acute Dermal –

As stated in ECHA, Chapter R-8.1.2.5 for dermal exposures route, exposures should be normally be assessed using the long term DNELs (see below).

Acute Inhalation - systemic and local

The inhalation NOELs (ppm iodomethane) were converted to mg/m3(1 ppm = 5.81 mg/m3) and corrected for duration of experimentalvshuman exposure and human resting respiration volumevsworker respiration volume(refer to Section 5.11.2),according to the guidance in Chapter R.8.

The critical NOAEL was taken from the acute inhalation neurotoxicity study where a NOAEL of 27 ppm was obtained.

Corrected NOAEL = ppm * 5.81 mg/m3* experimental duration (6 hrs) / human exposure duration (8 hrs) * human resting resp. volume (6.7 m3) / worker resp. volume (10 m3).

NOAECcorr= 79 mg/m3

Default assessment factors (ECHA, Chapter R-8.4.3.3) were applied.

Assessment factors = Interspecies * Intraspecies * Exposure duration * Dose-response * Quality of whole database

Assessment factor (general) = 2.5 * 5 * 1 * 1 * 1 = 12.5

DNEL derivation

DNEL = NOAELcorr / Assessment factor

Acute DNEL Local and Systemic=79 mg/m3/ 12.5 = 6.32 mg/m3

Long term dermal exposure

Local

No local dermal NOAEL was available, with evidence of dermal irritation (erythema/ desquamation) observed at every dose level treated. Therefore, the LOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw/day was converted to an mg/cm2dose, 0.11 mg/cm2(refer to Section 5.11.2),according to the guidance in Chapter R.8

NOAECcorr= 0.11 mg/cm2

Default assessment factors (ECHA, Chapter R-8.4.3.3) were applied.

Assessment factors = Interspecies * Intraspecies * Dose-response * Quality of whole database

Assessment factors = 1 * 5 * 3 *1

DNEL derivation

DNEL = NOAELcorr / Assessment factor

Acute / long term DNEL local = 0.11 mg/cm2/ 15 = 7.3 μg/cm2

Systemic

The dermal NOAEL following 28 days of dosing was 30 mg/kg bw/day.

Default assessment factors (ECHA, Chapter R-8.4.3.3) were applied.

Assessment factors = Interspecies * Intraspecies * Dose-response * Quality of whole database

Assessment factors = 2.5 * 5 * 1 *1

DNEL derivation

Acute / long term DNEL systemic= 30 mg/kg bw/day / 12.5 = 2.4 mg/kg bw/day

Long term exposure – inhalation systemic

Two studies, sub chronic inhalation study (90 day) and chronic (2 year study) have been used to establish DNEL for long term exposureviathe inhalatory route.

Assessment of mode of action

The identified endpoint and the observed effects have a threshold for both the sub chronic and chronic endpoints.

The inhalation NOELs (ppm iodomethane) were converted to mg/m3(1 ppm = 5.81 mg/m3) and corrected for duration of experimental vs human exposure and human resting respiration volumevsworker respiration volume, according to the guidance in Chapter R.8.

Corrected NOAEL = ppm * 5.81 mg/m3* experimental duration (6 hrs) / human exposure duration (8 hrs) * human resting resp. volume (6.7 m3) / worker resp. volume (10 m3).

Sub chronic NOAECcorr= 61 mg/m3(local and systemic)

Chronic NOAECcorr= 58 mg/m3(local)

Chronic NOAECcorr= 15 mg/m3(systemic)

Assessment factors

Default assessment factors (ECHA, Chapter R-8.4.3.3) were applied.

Assessment factor = Interspecies * Intraspecies * Exposure duration * Dose-response * Quality of whole database

Assessment factor (general) = 2.5 * 5 * 1 * 1 * 1 = 12.5

DNEL derivation

DNEL = NOAELcorr / Assessment factor

Subchronic DNEL Local and System= 61 mg/m3/ 12.5 = 4.88 mg/m3

Chronic DNEL Local=58 mg/m3/ 12.5 = 4.64 mg/m3

Chronic DNEL Systemic= 15 mg/m3/ 12.5 = 1.2 mg/m3
