Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
medium hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

The substance is of low acute oral toxicity, is not classified as a skin irritant or sensitiser but is classified for eye irritation in CLP Category 1. The critical starting point for DNEL derivation is the NOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/d derived from an oral OECD 422 screening study (considered to be of subacute derivation).

DNEL derivation

Inhalation DNELS

Long-term systemic DNEL

The oral NOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/d from the OECD 422 screening study is corrected for respiratory volume (*1/0.38), working rate (*6.7/10) and relative oral and inhalation absorption (*50/100), resulting in a corrected inhalation NOAEC of 88 mg/m3.

Individual assessment factors of 1 (for dose-response relationship), 6 (for duration of exposure), 1 (for allometric scaling), 2.5 (for remaining interspecies differences), 5 (for intraspecies differences), 1 (for database quality) and 1 (for remaining uncertainties) are combined to give an overall assessment factor of 75. Applying the assessment factor of 75 to the corrected starting point of 88 mg/m3 results in a DNEL of 1.2 mg/m3.

Short-term systemic DNEL

The substance is of low acute toxicity and is not classified for acute toxicity. In the absence of any identified hazard, an acute/short-term DNEL is not required.

Local DNELs

There are no data on local effects following inhalation. In the absence of any identified hazard, local inhalation DNELs are not derived.

Dermal DNELs

Long-term systemic DNEL

Dermal absorption is considered to be 10% based on the physicochemical properties of the substance; oral absorption is assumed to be 50%. The corrected dermal NOAEL is therefore 500 mg/kg bw/d. Individual assessment factors of 1 (for dose-response relationship), 6 (for duration of exposure), 4 (for allometric scaling), 2.5 (for remaining interspecies differences), 5 (for intraspecies differences), 1 (for database quality) and 1 (for remaining uncertainties) are combined to give an overall assessment factor of 300. Applying the assessment factor of 300 to the corrected starting point of 500 mg/kg bw/d results in a DNEL of 1.7 mg/kg bw/d.

Short-term systemic DNEL

The substance is of low acute toxicity and is not classified for acute toxicity. In the absence of any identified hazard, an acute/short-term DNEL is not required

Local DNELs

The substance is not classified for skin irritation or skin sensitisation. In the absence of any identified hazard, a local dermal DNEL is not required.

Hazard for the eyes

Hazard for the eyes

The substance is classified for eye damage (Cat 1) and is therefore considered to represent a moderate hazard according to the ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Part E: Risk Characterisation (version 3.0, May 2016).
