- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Due to lack of repeated dose toxicity data by the inhalation route, a route to route extrapolation was performed. The LOAEL (oral) derived in the sub-chronic oral toxicity study in rats is converted into a LOAEC (corrected) in accordance to guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, ECHA, May 2008. For this purpose a default body weight of 70 kg and a respiratory volume of 10 m3/d are applied.
An oral absorption of 100% is expected for N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine since the substance is well absorbed after ingestion and readily excreted. Nevertheless, for the oral-to-inhalation extrapolation, following a worst-case assumption and to account for uncertainties an additional assessment factor of 2 was used to consider the different absorption properties of the respiratory tract and after oral intake in accordance with ECHA Guidance R.8.
Also, to account for differences in experimental and worker exposure conditions (rats: 7 d/week; workers: 5 d/week) a factor of 7/5 was applied as well.
LOAECcorr = 5 mg/kg bw/d x 70 kg / 10 m3/d / 2 x (7 d/week / 5 d/week) = 24.5 mg/m3

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Since no acute studies by inhalation are available, a route to route extrapolation is performed with data from oral application.
The following acute oral toxicity studies are available:
MacEwen, J. D. and Vernot, E. H., 1974 Ciba-Geigy, 1987 Weil, 1974 Bayer, 1978 test animal SD rats, male rats, male and female Wistar rats, male Wistar rats, female Dose levels 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 mg/kg 200, 2000 mg/kg 1000, 2000 and 4000 mg/kg bw 5000 mg/kg LD50 combined - > 200 - < 2000 mg/kg 2380 mg/kg LD50 males 1625 mg/kg 2000 mg/kg LD50 females - > 200 - < 2000 mg/kg > 5000 mg/kg LD0 males 1000 mg/kg 200 mg/kg 1000 mg/kg bw LD0 females - 200 mg/kg - Pathology no data no effects noted at 200 mg/kg livers mottled; stomachs transparent, free blood; kidneys and adrenals congested; intestines injected, free blood and distended; dose levels not specified. no data Identification of the point of departure:
The lowest, therefore most conservative no effect value is the LD0 of 200 mg/kg in both male and female rats based on the study by Ciba-Geigy. This value is considered suitable since no deaths and no systemic effects have been reported at this dose level. This value is considered to be the NOAEL.
DNEL derivation
The LD0 (=NOAEL) of 200 mg/kg body weight observed in male and female rats is the starting point for DNEL derivation. Following a rout to route extrapolation approach, this oral NOAEL needs to be transformed into an inhalatory NOAEC considering the respiratory volume of the rat.
The standard respiratory volume of the rat is 0.2 l/min. Considering a short term exposure of 15 min, the total respiratory volume of a rat during 15 minutes is 0.2 l/min x 15 min = 3 l = 0.003 m3. Based on the average rat body weight (0.25 kg) this translates into 0.012 m3/kg body weight.
The atmospheric concentration yielding a dose equivalent to 200 mg/kg orally after 15 min of breathing is therefore calculated as 200 mg/kg / 0.012 m3/kg = 16666 mg/m3. To correct this value for human workers, further modifications are required taking the increased respiratory volume of workers into account compared to humans in rest. This is achieved by multiplication with a factor of 0.67.
An oral absorption of 100% is expected for N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine since the substance is well absorbed after ingestion and readily excreted. Nevertheless, for the oral-to-inhalation extrapolation, following a worst-case assumption and to account for uncertainties an additional assessment factor of 2 was used to consider the different absorption properties of the respiratory tract and after oral intake in accordance with ECHA Guidance R.8.
16666 mg/m3x 0.67 / 2 = 5583 mg/m3. This value is considered the NOAECcorr.

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Route-to-route extrapolation is needed from the oral to the dermal route. Due to differences in experimental and worker exposure conditions (rats: 7 d/week; worker: 5 d/week) a factor of 7/5 is applied to the LOAEL.
Also, it is assumed that dermal absorption will not be higher than the oral absorption (100%). Hence, no additional assessment factor was used according to REACH Guidance R.8.
LOAELcorr = 5 mg/kg bw/d x (7 d/week / 5 d/week) = 7 mg/kg bw/d
However, the dermal absorption of the pure substance and relevant in-use concentrations were determined in a dermal absorption study. The derived percentages are not used to derive the dermal DNEL. They are directly applied to the exposure estimates instead. Please refer to section 9 of the CSR.

Pathology

Identification of the point of departure:
The lowest applied dose level is 2000 mg/kg in male rabbits. Although no deaths occurred at this dose level, it is considered a LOAEL since it has to be assumed that histological findings were also recorded at this dose level. This LOAEL of 2000 mg/kg is used as starting point for DNEL calculations.
Additionally, the dermal absorption of the pure substance and relevant in-use concentrations were determined in a dermal absorption study. The derived percentages are not used to derive the dermal DNEL. They are directly applied to the exposure estimates instead. Please refer to section 9 of the CSR.

As starting point the LOAEL resulting from a subchronic oral repeated dose toxicity study in rats (2016) is used.
Route-to-route extrapolation is needed from the oral to the inhalation route. In accordance with ECHA Guidance R.8 the LOAEL is divided by the respiratory volume accounting for 24 hours (1.15 mg/kg bw).
An oral absorption of 100% is expected for N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine since the substance is well absorbed after ingestion and readily excreted. Nevertheless, for the oral-to-inhalation extrapolation, following a worst-case assumption and to account for uncertainties an additional assessment factor of 2 was used to consider the different absorption properties of the respiratory tract and after oral intake in accordance with ECHA Guidance R.8.
