DNEL Derivation for Workers
Acute Systemic Inhalation:
The dose descriptor selected was the putative LOAEC value from an acute inhalation study using a limit dose of 25.5 mg/l and a 4 hour exposure. This concentration resulted in no deaths, and clinical signs of narcosis. While this study did not assign an effect level, the single concentration used was determined to be the LOAEC based on signs of reversible narcosis.
DNEL Derivation: 25,500 mg/m3(LOAEC) was adjusted to a 15 minute STEL using Habers law. C13T1= C23T2, C2= cube root ((C13T1)/T2) = cube root ((255003)*4/0.25) = 64255.97 mg/m3. This value was corrected for light work and and an 8 hour work day (64255.97 *0.67) = 43051.49 mg/m3. An adjustment factor of 9 was then applied (3 for Intraspecies, 3 for LOAEC to NOAEC, using ECETOC defaults) for a DNEL of 4783.49 mg/m3.
Long-Term Systemic Inhalation:
The dose descriptor was the reproductive/developmental NOAEC from an inhalation OECD 421 study, where 2.5 mg/l was the systemic NOAEC.
DNEL Derivation: 2500 mg/m3(NOAEC) was adjusted from a 6 hour study exposure to an 8-hour workday exposure (2500 *0.75 = 1875 mg/m3). This value was adjusted for light work (1875 *0.67 = 1256 mg/m3) and adjustment factors of 6 were applied (3 for Intraspecies, 2 for subchronic to chronic) for a NOAEL of 209.38 mg/m3.
Acute Dermal Exposure: Acute dermal toxicity testing showed no effects at 25.5 ml/kg, the highest dose tested. In addition, as this substance is volatile, no testing is required under REACH. Due to the low dermal toxicity of the substance, a DNEL was not derived.
Long Term Dermal Exposure
The dose descriptor for dermal exposure was an inhalation OECD 421 reproductive scree, where the reprodcutive/developmental NOEC was 5 mg/l, the highest concentration tested.
DNEL Derivation: 2500 mg/m3(systemic NOAEC) was adjusted for a 6 to 8 hour exposure (2500 * 0.75 = 1875). This was corrected for light work using the standard correction factor of 0.67 (1875*0.67 = 1256.25 mg/m3). This was adjusted for route of exposure with the standard value of 0.38 (1256.25 * 0.38 = 477.37 mg/kg). An adjustment factor of 24 was then applied ( 3 – intraspecies, 4 – allometric scaling and 2 for subchronic to chronic) for a final DNEL of 19.89.
Acute Oral Exposure: This is not a relevant worker endpoint.

Acute Systemic Inhalation:
The dose descriptor selected was the putative LOAEC value from an acute inhalation study using a limit dose of 25.5 mg/l and a 4 hour exposure. This concentration resulted in no deaths, and clinical signs of narcosis. While this study did not assign an effect level, the single concentration used was determined to be the LOAEC based on signs of reversible narcosis.
DNEL Derivation: 25,500 mg/m3(LOAEC) was adjusted to a 15 minute STEL using Habers law. C13T1= C23T2, C2= cube root ((C13T1)/T2) = cube root ((255003)*4/0.25) = 64255.97 mg/m3. An adjustment factor of 15 was then applied (5 for Intraspecies, 3 for LOAEC to NOAEC, using ECETOC defaults) for a DNEL of 4283.73 mg/m3.
Long-Term Systemic Inhalation:
The dose descriptor was the systemic NOAEC from an inhalation OECD 421 study, where 2.5 mg/l was the systemic NOAEC.
DNEL Derivation: 2500 mg/m3(NOAEC) was adjusted from a 6 hour study exposure to a 24 hour day (2500 *0.25 = 625 mg/m3) and an adjustment factor of 10 was applied (5 for Intraspecies, 2 for subchronic to chronic) for a NOAEL of 62.5 mg/m3.
Acute Dermal Exposure: Acute dermal toxicity testing showed no effects at 25.5 ml/kg, the highest dose tested. In addition, as this substance is volatile, no testing is required under REACH. Due to the low dermal toxicity of the substance, a DNEL was not derived.
Long Term Dermal Exposure
The dose descriptor for dermal exposure was an inhalation OECD 421 reproductive scree, where the reprodcutive/developmental NOEC was 5 mg/l, the highest concentration tested.
DNEL Derivation: 2500 mg/m3(systemic NOAEC) was adjusted for the route of exposure using the standard correction factor of 1.15 (2500*1.15 = 2875 mg/kg)/ This was corrected for a 6 hour exposure to a 24 hour exposure (2875 *0.25= 718.75). Adjustment factors of 40 were applied (5 – intraspecies, 4 – allometric scaling and 2 for subchronic to chronic) for a final DNEL of 17.97.
Acute Oral Exposure: Due to the use in industrial applications, acute oral exposure to the general population is not expected, and an acute oral DNEL was not developed.
Long Term Oral Exposure
The dose descriptor for dermal exposure was an inhalation OECD 421 reproductive scree, where the reprodcutive/developmental NOEC was 5 mg/l, the highest concentration tested.
DNEL Derivation: 2500mg/m3(systemic NOAEC) was adjusted for the route of exposure using the standard correction factor of 1.15 (2500*1.15 = 2875 mg/kg)/ This was corrected for a 6 hour exposure to a 24 hour exposure (2875 *0.25= 718.75). Adjustment factors of 40 were applied (5 – intraspecies, 4 – allometric scaling and 2 for subchronic to chronic) for a final DNEL of 17.97.
