Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
555 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Basis for the calculation of the corrected inhalatory No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Concentration (NOAEC) is a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) of 300 mg/kg bw/day as determined in a subchronic (90-day) oral repeated dose toxicity study in the rat. A prenatal developmental toxicity study in the rabbit is currently ongoing. If this study should give rise to a higher concern, the hazard assessment, incl. calculation of Derived No Effect Levels (DNELs), will be re-assessed when results of the ongoing study are available. Corrections for differences in respiratory volumes of laboratory animals and workers (1/0.38 = 2.63), for the respiratory volume in light activity (6.7/10 = 0.67), for the frequency of exposure (7/5 = 1.4) as well as for inhalative and oral bioavailability (0.75) were accounted for.

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = NOAELoral, rat x (1/sRVrat) x (sRVhuman/wRV) x (ABSoral, rat/ABSinhal., human) x (fexpo, rat/fexpo, worker)

sRV: Standard respiratory volume

wRV: Respiratory volume of workers (8 h)

ABS: Absorption rate (oral absorption is assumed to be 75% of inhalation absorption as default)

fexpo: Frequency of exposure (rat: 7 days/week; workers: 5 days/week)

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = 300 x 2.63 x 0.67 x 0.75 x 1.4 = 555 mg/m3

Value:

NOAEL
Value:
21 000 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Basis for the calculation of the corrected dermal No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) is a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day as determined in a subchronic (90-day) oral repeated dose toxicity study in the rat. A prenatal developmental toxicity study in the rabbit is currently ongoing. If this study should give rise to a higher concern, the hazard assessment, incl. calculation of Derived No Effect Levels (DNELs), will be re-assessed when results of the ongoing study are available. Corrections for dermal and oral bioavailability (50.0) and differences in the frequency of exposure (7/5 = 1.4) were accounted for.

Corrected dermal NOAEL = NOAELoral, rat x (ABSoral, rat/ABSdermal, human) x (fexpo, rat/fexpo, worker)

ABS: Absorption rate (absorption rate in humans established to be 2%; correction of oral (rat) and dermal (human) bioavailability: 1/0.02 = 50.0)

fexpo: Frequency of exposure (rat: 7 days/week; workers: 5 days/week)

Corrected dermal NOAEL = 300 x 50.0 x 1.4 = 21000 mg/kg bw/day

Corrections for differences in respiratory volumes of laboratory animals and the general population (1/1.15 = 0.87) and for inhalative and oral bioavailability (0.75) were accounted for.

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
300 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No route-to-route extrapolation is required as the oral long-term DNEL for systemic effects is based on a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) of 300 mg/kg bw/day as determined in a subchronic (90-day) oral repeated dose toxicity study in the rat. A prenatal developmental toxicity study in the rabbit is currently ongoing. If this study should give rise to a higher concern, the hazard assessment, incl. calculation of Derived No Effect Levels (DNELs), will be re-assessed when results of the ongoing study are available.
