Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
77.2 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
20.4
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
other: NAEC
Value:
1 575 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
NAEC: [(300/4) x 70)/10*3]; NOAEL = 300 mg/kg on rat (Hansen, 2012); 4 = allometric scaling factor rat; 70 kg/bw= standard human body weight; 10 m^3/person= default human breathing volume for workers in 8 h.
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
No scaling needed
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
3.4
Justification:
* ERASM Project: lower factor found based on RepDose study (factor 3.4 instead of 6 from subacute to chronic exposure). ** In addition, 90- day toxicity studies are available from read-across substances with >NOAEL , however subacute toxicity studies are more recent and reliable. Then it is proposed to start from the NOAEL of the 28-day study, but to apply a lower duration factor of 3,4 instead of 6.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
No allometric scaling needed because the starting point (NAEC) has just been corrected for the human evaluation.
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
** From a toxicodynamic viewpoint, the compounds are anionic amphoteric surfactants, known to to interact with skin, in particular the lipid and protein components. Surfactants can remove lipids from the skin during washing Humans are not considered more sensitive, certainly not from a systemic viewpoint. Application of the Cramer rules to the various sulfosuccinate substances also shows that they fall in Cramer Class I group (low concern - simple chemical structures with efficient modes of metabolism suggesting a low order of oral toxicity). Therefore, a remaining interspecies factor for toxicodynamic differences of 1 is accepted (instead of 2.5).
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
Based on the surfactant effect on epithelial tissues and absence of systemic effects, differences within species are expected to be limited. Therefore informed assessment factors of 3 and 5 are proposed instead of ECHA default values of 5 and 10 for workers and general population.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
2
Justification:
No GLP compliant, data on structural similar substances
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
100% adsorption for inhalative route for animal and humanis assumed
