Long-term inhalation DNEL worker population

 

Derivation of the inhalation DNEL for the worker population based on the use of the NOAEC of 30 mg/m3 for the monkey in a subchronic inhalation toxicity study:

 

NOAECcorrected= 30 mg/m3 x 6/8 x 6.7/10 = 15 mg/m3

 

Where,

 

NOAEC = 30 mg/m3

6 hrs of exposure in the study versus 8 hours exposure for the worker

6.7 m3 respiratory volume for avg. person over 8 hours of exposure versus 10 m3 respiratory volume for worker over 8 hrs of exposure.

 

Interspecies = 2.5

Intraspecies = 5

Sub-chronic to Chronic = 2

Total AF = 25

 

Inhalation DNEL worker = 15 mg/m3 ÷ 25 = 0.6 mg/m3

Long-term Dermal DNEL worker Population

 

Derivation of the dermal DNEL for the worker population based on the use of the NOAEC of 30 mg/m3 for the monkey in a subchronic inhalation toxicity study:

 

NOAEC corrected = 30 mg/m3 x 0.19 m3/kg x 6hrs/8hrs x 2 x 6.7/10= 5.7 mg/kg-day

 

Where,

The 0.19 m3/kg represents the respiratory rate for the monkey

(Allometric scaling factor of 2 x 0.2 L/min/kg bw = 0.4 L/min-kg bw; (0.4 L/min-kg bw x 0.001 m3/L x 60 min/hr x 8 hrs = 0.19 m3/kg bw) (ECHA Guidance R.8, Tables R.8-2 R.8-3)

 

The exposure in the study was for 6 hrs/day whereas worker exposure is 8 hrs per day. 

 

An assumption that dermal absorption is 50% of inhalation exposure (hence the factor of 2). 

 

Dose correction for the respiratory volume of an average person for 8 hours (6.7 m3/person) and a worker for 8 hrs (10 m3/person) (ECHA Guidance R.8, Table R.8-2 and Figure R.8-2).

 The assessment factors used in the derivation of the DNEL as documented in the CSR are as follows:

 

Interspecies = 5 (2.5 x 2 (allometic scaling factor for monkey; Table R.8-3 of ECHA’s Guidance R.8))

Intraspecies = 5

Sub-chronic to Chronic = 2

Total AF = 50

 

The calculated dermal DNEL for the worker is 0.11 mg/kg/day (5.7 mg/kg-day ÷ 50)

Long-term Inhalation DNEL general population

 

 

Derivation of the inhalation DNEL for the general population based on the use of the NOAEC of 30 mg/m3 for the monkey in a subchronic inhalation toxicity study:

 

NOAECcorrected= 30 mg/m3 x 6hrs/24hrs x 5days/7days = 5.4 mg/m3

 

Where:

NOAEC = 30 mg/m3

6 hours exposure in study versus 24 hours exposure for general population

5 days of exposure in the study versus 7 days of exposure for the general population

 

The total AF is 50 based on:

 

Intraspecies = 10 for general population

Interspecies = 2.5 (allometric factor of 4 is not applied for inhalation dose to inhalation dose)

Sub-chronic to chronic = 2

Total AF = 50

 

Inhalation DNEL for general population is therefore: 5.4 mg/m3 ÷ 50 = 0.11 mg/m3

Long-term Dermal DNEL general population

 

Derivation of the dermal DNEL for the general population based on the use of the NOAEC of 30 mg/m3 for the monkey in a subchronic inhalation toxicity study:

 

NOAELcorrected= 30 mg/m3 x 0.576 m3/kg x 6hrs/24hrs x 5days/7days x 2 = 6.2 mg/kg/day

 

Where:

 

NOAEC = 30 mg/m3

Respiratory volume for the monkey for 24 hour exposure (Table R.8-2 of ECHA Guidance) = 0.576 (0.4 L/min-kg bw x 0.001 m3/L x 60 min/hr x 24 hrs)

6 hours exposure in study versus 24 hours exposure for general population

5 days of exposure in the study versus 7 days of exposure for the general population

Factor of 2 to account for 50% absorption through dermal route versus inhalation

 

The assessment factors used in the derivation of the DNEL as documented in the CSR are as follows:

 

 

Interspecies = 5 (2.5 x 2 (allometic scaling factor for monkey; Table R.8-3 of ECHA’s Guidance R.8))

Intraspecies = 10

Sub-chronic to Chronic = 2

 

Total AF = 100

 

Dermal DNEL general population = 6.2 mg/kg-day/100 = 0.062 mg/kg/day
