- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
A NOAEL of 62.5 mg/kg bw/day was determined for the registered substance in a 90-day repeated dose toxicity study in rats (OECD TG 408, GLP).
This value was converted into the corrected inhalatory NOAEC taking into account the standard respiratory factor of 1/0.38 m³/kg/day, the absorption rates (based on ECHA Guidance R.8 the absorption rate of the starting route is by the factor of 2 lower than the one of the end-route in case of route to route extrapolation from oral to inhalation) and the standard respiratory volume in humans/ worker respiratory volume (6.7 m³ (8 h) / 10 m³ (8 h)) and the correction factor between human and experimental exposure conditions of workers (5 working days vs. 7 days continuous exposure) of 1.4.
NOAEC corrected = 62.5 mg/kg bw/day * 1/0.38 m³/kg/day * 0.5 * (6.7 m³/10 m³) * 1.4 = 77.14 mg/m³

Justification for selection of Point Of Depature (POD) for DNEL (systemic effects)
Data evaluation
For DNEL derivation, all available data are taken into account and evaluated in order to select an adequate Point Of Departure (POD). Based on relevant NOAELs, sample DNELs (for inhalation route as example) are derived to determine a reliable and protective value.
The oral 90-day repeated dose toxicity study (OECD TG 408, GLP) is the study with the longest test duration and thus, is the likeliest study to detect all possible substance-related systemic effects with repeated application, which is the actual purpose of the testing for repeated-dose toxicity. A NOAEL of 62.5 mg/kg bw/day was derived based on histopathological findings in the salivary glands and changed biochemical parmeters at 250 mg/kg bw/day and further findings at 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
In a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test (OECD TG 422) a NOAEL (systemic) for parental animals was determined to be 250 mg/kg bw/day based on organ weight changes. In the same study a NOAEL for embryo-/fetotoxicity was determined to be 62.5 mg/kg bw/day based on reduced number of pups born alive.
In an OECD 414 rats were treated from 0 to day 19 of gestation. A maternal NOAEL (systemic) of 6.25 mg/kg bw was proposed, as at higher dose levels (62.5 and 625 mg/kg bw/day) a greater food consumption was observed. Because there were neither effects on body weight nor changes of clinical parameters, or behavior, the increased food consumption was not considered as a “critical effect” by the registrants for the DNEL derivation. In the same study, the test item caused faster growth of fetuses in all tested dose groups. However, the registrant of the substance consiered this as a possible response to the increased food intake of the dams.
At the highest dose level, at 625 mg/kg bw increased intrauterine mortality during the early phase of the development was recorded, what might indicate embryotoxic effects, so, a NOAEL of 62.5 mg/kg bw/day could be proposed:
Furthermore, it was stated that there were changes in the number of ossifications points in all treated groups, that might have been related to the test item exposure. However, it was stated that there was no relationship between the dose and the effect, since an increase in the average number of ossification in groups 1 (sternum and metacarpus) and 3 (metacarpus) and a decrease in the average number of ossification points in group 2 (sternum) were observed. The decrease in the number of ossification points is considered as a change associated with the delayed development, which may be caused by toxicity. This, however, does not influence the postnatal development and is later compensated [1, 2]. An increase in the number of ossification points is a result of the intensive growth of fetuses.
Further malformations were observed in one fetus in the low dose group. However, the registrant of the substance concluded that they should not be evaluated as toxicologically relevant, because only one fetus was affected, and no such malformations occurred in animals of the higher dose groups.
Conclusion
Sample DNELs:
Based on reliable NOAELs form the available data, the NOAEL (systemic) of 62.5 mg/kg bw/day from a 90-day repeated-dose toxicity study was taken to derive the DNELs.
Based on the sample DNELs (see above), the NOAEL from the 90-day repeated dose toxicity study - the study with the longest test duration - was chosen as POD, because it results in most conservative DNEL, hence, it can be assumed that this DNEL is also protective for any other effects.
