Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
70.52 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
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 763 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
APPENDIX R. 8-2 Bioavailability, route-to-route extrapolation and allometric scaling of Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health provides for modification of the dose descriptor in calculating DNEL for repeat dose inhalation toxicity.
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
Duration of exposure: subchronic to chronic
Justification:
Modification of the dose descriptors is necessary, because the routes of exposure are different between animals (oral) and humans (inhalation). For this purpose the default respiratory volume for the rat corresponding to the daily duration of human exposure is considered in the first step, followed by a correction for the difference between respiratory rates of workers under standard conditions and under light activity in the second step. NAECcorr_inh = oral NOAEL (from OECD 408 study (1000 mg/kg/bw) x 1/0.38 m3/kg bw x 6.7 m3/10 m3 = 1763 mg/m3. Oral absorption in rats is assumed to be 100%. For the purposes of risk assessment, absorption in humans is also taken as 100%. Therefore, NAECcorr_inh = 1763 x 100/100 = 1763 mg/m3

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:

Additional information - workers

The test substance does not have any local irritating or sensitizing effects in animals. By extrapolation it is possible to calculate systemic and local DNELS for short term and some long term exposure; however calculation of long term local DNELS for local effects on the basis of the available data does not seem to be reasonable, as the substance is not classified for acute toxicological effects. The assessment factors applied for long term systemic effects are deemed to provide suitable exposure modelling for risk assessment.

The same toxicological endpoints chosen for setting the DNELs for workers have been used for setting DNELs for the general population. The increased assessment factor for interspecies sensitivity is considered sufficiently protective.
