Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

ECHA guidance recommends that a factor of 2 be applied when doing route to route extrapolation for oral to inhalation exposure, recognizing higher absorption via the lungs. This substance is a liquid with a very low vapour pressures and inhalation would have to be to an aerosol (of large particles). Droplets will deposit mainly on upper airways, and will be subsequently swallowed following mucociliary transportation to pharynx. This results to no principal difference in absorption compared to the oral route of administration. Allometric scaling is applied by taking account for the different breathing rates between rats and humans, as described in ECHA technical guidance the oral NOAEL in the rat mg/kg/day *1/0.38 * 6.7/10 = 52.9 mg/m3 inhalation NOAEC for workers. An additional correction for exposure conditions from 7 d/wk dosing to 5 d/wk for worker exposures has subsequently been applied (times 7/5).

At this stage no quantitative data are available on dermal absorption. 2,2'-(C16 -18 (evennumbered) alkyl imino)diethanol is not expected to easily pass the skin in view of its ionised form at physiological conditions. However, as this is not quantitatively evaluated, 100% dermal absorption is considered as worst case assumption. A correction for 5 day/week occupational exposures vs 7 day/week dosing in the studies has been applied. (times 7/5)

The corrected 24 hr inhalation NOAEC for general population is calculated from 90-day oral NOAEL * 1/1.15 mg/m3.
