Additional information - workers

The long-term DNELs are based on a 28 -day oral gavage study performed in rats. The NOAEL in this study was found to be 400 mg/kg bw/d for male and female rats.

Route to route extrapolation (oral to inhalative) was performed according to the ECHA guidance document R.8 (characterization of dose[concentration]-response for human health). The exposure of the test animals was based on 7 days a week. For workers, the expected exposure duration is only 5 days a week. Therefore, a factor of 7/5 was introduced for workers due to the reduced exposure duration (working time of 5 days a week).

For workers:

corrected starting point (worker, inhalative) = oral NAEL * 1/sRVrat* sRVhuman/wRV *7/5

= 400 mg/kg bw/d/0.38 m3/kg bw/d*6.7m3/10m3*7/5 = 987.36 mg/m3/d

Due to the physicochemical properties of the test substance, only limited dermal absorption is expected (high molecular weight, poor water solubility and log Kow>4). Therefore a factor of 0.01 (1% absorption) was introduced for the difference in absorption .

corrected starting point (worker, dermal) =oral NAEL * 7/5 /0.01 = 400 mg/kg bw/d/0.01 *7/5 = 5600 mg/kg bw/d

For the calculation of the DNEL, the following assessment factors were applied on the corrected starting points:

Dermal DNEL: Allometric scaling factor 4; interspecies factor 2.5; intraspecies factor 5; exposure duration factor 6; dose-response factor 1; quality of the database 1 =300

Inhalation DNEL: Interspecies factor 2.5; intraspecies factor 5; exposure duration factor 6; dose-response factor 1; quality of the database 1 =75

Taken together, the resulting dermal DNELfor workers is 186.67 mg/kg bw/d, theinhalative DNEL is 13.16 mg/m3, respectively.

Additional information - General Population

The long-term DNELs are based on a 28 -day oral gavage study performed in rats. The NOAEL in this study was found to be 400 mg/kg bw/d for male and female rats.

Route to route extrapolation (oral to inhalative) was performed according to the ECHA guidance document R.8 (characterization of dose[concentration]-response for human health).

The calculation of the corrected starting points for the general population was as follows:

For the general population (GP): corrected starting point (GP, inhalative) = oral NAEL * 1/sRVrat= 400 mg/kg bw/d/1.15 m3/kg/d

= 347.8 mg/m3/dn

Due to the physicochemical properties of the test substance, only limited dermal absorption is expected. Therefore, a factor of 0.01 (1% absorption) for the difference in absorption was introduced.

corrected starting point (GP, dermal) =oral NAEL/0.01 = 40000 m3/kg/d

The DNEL calculation for the general population was performed equally as for the workers. In deviation to that, the assessment factor for intraspecies variability was set to 10 to account for more variability in the general population.

Resulting from this considerations, the DNELs calculated were 66.67 mg/kg bw/d, 0.66 mg/kg bw/d and 6.96 mg/m3for dermal exposure, oral exposure and inhalation, respectively.
