Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
2.35 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):
75
Dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEL
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEC
Value:
176.3 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

In a 90 days toxicity study by oral route (OECD 408), groups of 20 rats were exposed daily to 100, 300, 1000 mg/kg bw per day for 90 days. The male gender seems to more sensitive than female. Taken into consideration the mortality and similar effects as those seen at the highest dose in a single male at 100 mg/kg, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was not determined in males (LOAEL systemic effects for males, 90d = 100 mg/kg). In females, the NOAEL corresponds to 300 mg/kg.

Step 1) Relevant dose-descriptor: LOAEL, rat = 100 mg/kg bw per day

Step 2) Modification of starting point - Conversion into inhalation NOAEC (in mg/m³) by using an 8-hour respiratory volume for the rat: 0.38 m³/kg bw - Correction for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers compared to workers in rest: 6.7 m³/10 m³ - Correction for inhalation to oral absorption: no factor is added. Justification: the test substance has a low volatility (vapour pressure of less than 0.00005 Pa). - No difference in oral and inhalation absorption is expected between rats and human. LOAEC corrected = 100*1/0.38*6.7/10 = 176.3 mg/m³

Dose descriptor starting point:

Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

In a 90 days toxicity study by oral route (OECD 408), groups of 10 rats were exposed daily to 100, 300, 1000 mg/kg bw per day for 90 days. The male gender seems to more sensitive than female.

In females, the NOAEL corresponds to 300 mg/kg.

Step 1) Relevant dose-descriptor: LOAEL, rat = 100 mg/kg bw per day

Step 2) As no dermal penetration study is available, we will consider 100% absorption as a worst case. No difference in oral and dermal absorption is expected between rats and humans.
