Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
7 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:

Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:

Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
176 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

A fully reliable toxicity study is available for oral route of administration (OECD Guideline 408 (Repeated Dose 90-Day Oral Toxicity Study in Rodents). Appropriate species and dosage were used in this study. 100 mg ASC plus/kg bw. per day can be defined as "No Observed Adverse Effect Level" (NOAEL) for the systemic (and reproduction-developmental) toxicity. Even if an inhalative exposure may occur the most suitable way to determine the systemic toxicity of a solid test substance is normally the oral administration. Additionally the experiences with inhalative administration of dusts of solid substances, i. e. drugs, to humans revealed that such an inhalative exposure leads to a mainly oral ingestion of the substances. This is especially true for ASC plus as (1) the substance is marketed as part of a mixture with water, (2) its very very low vapour pressure and (3) as the measurement of the particle size distribution revealed, that the mean particle size (of the marketed form) is relatively high with only 6 % of the particles < 2 µm representing the small respirable fraction fraction. In consequence an inhalative exposure will result in an oral uptake of nearly 100 % of the administered dosage. The Dose descriptor starting point was derived as follows: NOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw. x 1/0.38 m3/kg/bw x 6.7 m3 / 10 m3 /person = 176 mg/m3 (according to REACH ECHA GD, Example R. 8-2 Workers (Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health).

Overall assessment factor (AF):
12.5
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
3 526 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The Dose descriptor starting point was derived as follows: LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw. x 1/0.38 m3/kg/bw x 6.7 m3 / 10 m3 /person =3526 mg/m3 (according to REACH ECHA GD, Example R. 8-2 Workers (Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health).

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
No higher factor applicable because no effects were observed up to the highest dose.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
AF not used for inhalation route
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
"Remaining differences"

Overall assessment factor (AF):
100
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

A reliable oral OECD Guideline 408 (Repeated Dose 90-Day Oral Toxicity Study in Rodents) study in rats is available. Appropriate species and dosage were used in this study. No effects were observed after oral administration to rats of dosages up to and including 100 mg/kg bw. Additionally an acute dermal toxicity study revealed no effects up to and including dosages of 2000 mg/kg bw. It is assumed that the resorption after dermal application is similar to the resorption after oral administration.
