Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The diffusion coefficients (Dsc, cm2/min x 10^-8) of aromatic hydrocarbons were determined to be: Naphthalene 4.2+/-1.4; 1-Methyl naphthalene 4.6 +/-2.7; 2-Methyl naphthalene 4.5+/-2.6.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene based on analogue read across.

A mathematical model was developed to describe the diffusion coefficients (Dsc) of aromatic hydrocarbons. The diffusion coefficients (Dsc, cm2/min x 10-8) of aromatic hydrocarbons were determined to be: Naphthalene 4.2+/-1.4; 1-Methyl naphthalene 4.6 +/-2.7; 2-Methyl naphthalene 4.5+/-2.6.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
A mathematical description/model was developed to describe the uptake of aromatic hydrocarbons into the stratum corneum of human skin in vivo. The dermal absorption data was gathered in a previous paper (Kim 2006).
