Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
7.1 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
176 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

In the 90-day repeated dose toxicity study (oral gavage), the effects observed were primarily damage to respiratory tract as a result of reflux of test item, and damage to intestinal mucosa. Both effects are local effects considered to be the result of the irritant nature of the test substance. An increased incidence of irregular oestrous cycle and/or acyclic oestrous cycles was observed at 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day. These changes could have occurred due to the low and/or reduced body weight of those individual females at the end of the treatment period and are considered to be adverse, however, as a conservative approach the low-dose, 100 mg/kg bw/day, was considered to be the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL)

and used as the starting point for calculation of the systemic DNEL (inhalation).

The following correction was made to the NOAEL (oral): Correction respiratory volume rat (8 hour) 1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day, Correction for respiratory volume (worker): 6.7 m³/10 m³. Therefore the corrected NOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 100*(1/0.38) *(6.7/10) = 176 mg/m³.

The following correction was made to the NOAEL (oral): Correction respiratory volume rat (24 hour) 1/1.15 m³/kg bw. Therefore the corrected NOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 100*(1/1.15) = 87.0 mg/m³
