Systemic Dermal DNEL Worker
A systemic NOAEL of 150 mg/kg/day is based on the 90-day oral rat gavage study (OECD 408).
Oral absorption rat — oral/dermal absorption human: Assume 10% dermal absorption based on molecular weight of 290.4, a log Pow of 7.34, water solubility of 131 μg/l and calculated vapor pressure of 0.00951 mm Hg (1.268 Pa) at 25 °C. Dermal absorption is unlikely due to the low water solubility and high partition coefficient.

Correction for interspecies differences (apply factor for allometric scaling 4 for rat x 2.5 for additional factors):10
= 1500 mg/kg bw/day/10
= 150 mg/kg bw/day
Correction for intraspecies differences: 5
= 150 mg/kg bw/day/5
