Discussion
> 95% of the substance manufactured are used on-site. For this usage the substance is contained in closed industry-scale machinery and there is practically no open handling of the substance. For commercial applications most customers have confirmed intermediate usage in accordance with article 18.4, REACH. As a consequence, human exposure is not expected to be likely.
Acute and local effects
Due to the controlled conditions of exposure, there is no human data available on acute local effects. Animal testing shows severe eye irritation, but the data available is not suitable for a quantitative approach. An inhalative 90d study showed no inflammation of the nose, but histopathology revealed some minimal to mild inflammation of the respiratory tract at the highest dose, these effects were not considered to be of toxicological significance.
Excepting eye irritation, there is no evidence of adverse acute or local effects. In any case the long-term systemic inhalative and dermal DNEL will provide adequate protection also for any acute and local effects as well.
Hazards for the Eye
The substance was shown to be an eye irritant in animal experiments, but data do not allow quantitative analysis. In addition to the controlled exposure conditions prevailing eye protection is advised.
Long-term inhalative, systemic effects
The inhalative 90d study resulted in a DNEL of 2020 mg/m3 corresponding to 582 mg/kg bw/d. Using standard ECHA guidance adjustment factors, a DNEL of 40,6 mg/m3 was derived.
Long-term dermal, systemic effects
Due to the operational exposure conditions of the substance, dermal exposure to Norbornene is not likely, much less long-term exposure. As a conservative approach, a DNEL was derived based on the available 90d study using standard adjustment factots of ECHA guidance R.8

Additional information - General Population
The substance is used only as monomer and intermediate under strictly controlled conditions. No uses or properties suitable for a consumer application are known. As a consequence the substance does not come into contact with the general population either directly or through indirect exposure through the invironment.The derivation of a DNEL is therefore not required.
