Description of key information

The toxicokinetic assessment was carried out with 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine (MEP, CAS no.: 104-90-5, EC no.: 203-250-0). The read-across between the UVCB substance and the model constituent is justified. The toxicokinetic behavior of the substance was assessed to the extent that can be derived from the relevant available information. The main routes of exposure for 5-Ethyl-2-methylpyridine are through inhalation of vapors and skin/eye contact with liquid. Following uptake the parent compound and its metabolites may be distributed throughout the organism. Bioaccumulation is considered not likely. Metabolism may render the substance more polar and most likely less toxic before excretion. Elimination of parent and degradation products is most likely via urine and to a lesser extent via bile and faeces.
