Additional information - workers

In a reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test in rats (OECD 421), the NOAEL for systemic toxicity and reproductive toxicity was 62.5 mg/kg bw/day. The NOAEL for systemic toxicity obtained in the key 28-day toxicity study was higher (i.e. 150 mg/kg bw/day) and therefore the most protective endpoint has been chosen for setting the systemic DNELs.

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Correction factor for differences in respiratory volume (rat/general population): 1/1.15
