Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information - workers

According to ECHA Guidance R8 (2012), for exposure to dust, the general dust limits of 10 mg/m3for the inhalable airborne fraction and 3 mg/m3for the respirable airborne fraction used in setting Occupational Exposure Limits in many countries should be considered in combination with nature of the dust. For non-soluble inert dusts (such as cholesterol) if the derived DNEL for inhalation is above the dust limits, the general dust limits should apply for exposure scenarios with exposure to dust. For cholesterol the DNELs based on the dataset are above the general dust limit. Consequently, the general dust limit needs to be considered for cholesterol.
