Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.99 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
24.68 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The NOAEL of 10 mg/kg/day from an OECD 408 oral study with rats on a read-across substance was used as the starting point.


Indication is that the substance is well absorbed following oral route. Further the substance is a crystalline solid with a relatively large mean particle size of  43.5 microns. Therefore, it can be expected that after inhalation exposure, particles will mainly be deposited high in bronchial tract, and removed from the upper respiratory tract by the mucociliary elevator. With subsequent swallowing, this results to no principal difference in absorption compared to oral route.


An additional correction from 7d/w dosing to 5d/w occupational exposures has been subsequently applied.


The corrected 8 hr inhalation NOAEC for workers is NOAEL(10 mg/kg) * 1/0.38 * 6.7/10(light exercise) * 7/5(correction dosing 7days/wk)  = 24.68 mg/m3.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:

Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
100
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
46 667 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The NOAEL of 10 mg/kg/day from an OECD 408 oral study with rats on a read-across substance  (AIBN)was used.  A dermal penetration study is available on the read-across substance (AIBN). This resulted to a penetrated amount of 0.01% of applied dose on human skin. QSARs indicate that the dermal absorption rate of the target substance AMBN is 3 times higher than that of AIBN. A dermal absorption of 3*0.01% = 0.03% was taken to correct the starting point of 10 mg/kg/day.
An additional correction from 7d/w dosing to 5d/w occupational exposures has been subsequently applied.


The corrected 8 hr dermal NOAEL for workers is NOAEL(10 mg/kg/0.03%) * 7/5 (correction dosing 7days/wk) = 46667 mg/kg bw/day.
