Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
4.9 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
other: ECHA (2012) with substance-specific adaptations
Overall assessment factor (AF):
18
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
88.2 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Correction for rat standard breathing volume, 8 hrs (ECHA R.8, 2012): 0.38 m³/kg


Correction for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers compared to workers in rest (10 m3/6.7 m3) is required (ECHA R.8, 2012): 6.7 m3/10 m3


Route-to-Route extrapolation factor/ Oral to inhalation extrapolation (ECHA R.8, 2012): 2. This is considered as conservative approach as physico-chemical parameters like molecular weight, water solubility and logPow indicate a high oral absorption according to ECHA R.7c (2017)

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The NOAEL is reliable. No adjustment is required.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
The NOAEL is based on a subacute study of approx. 54 d for the relevant sex (males). AF 6 for extrapolation from sub-acute to chronic (ECHA 2012) represents a conservative approach as this study period exceeds the duration of a normal subacute study almost by a factor of two and long term data from metabolites indicate a lower exposure duration effect as used here.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
No allometric scaling rat to humans as intraspecies adjustment is accounted for in relative breathing volumes (ECHA R.8, 2012)
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
The starting point is a screening study with a somewhat higher level of uncertainty. However, a DNEL analysis of the metabolites and the analogous HPMA (on molar base) does not indicate remaining uncertainties.
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
Known mode of action involving ubiquitous and non-specific enzyme systems (carboxylesterases, tricarboxylic acid cycle) makes a lower variability likely, hence the AF of 3 is sufficiently conservative.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The key study is of high quality, being rated K1. No adjustment is required.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
The starting point is a screening study with a somewhat higher level of uncertainty. However, a DNEL analysis of the metabolites and the analogous HPMA (on molar base) does not indicate remaining uncertainties.

Further considerations



  1. AF for remaining differences based on analysis of the toxicological relevant metabolites of HEMA.


 


There is clear evidence that HEMA is rapidly metabolized to the metabolites MAA and the corresponding alcohol (here: EG), as shown by Dow (2013, 2017). In these studies, comparable fast metabolism rates of 1-5 min in the rat liver were shown for HEMA.


The underlaying approach for the following consideration is the comparison of a representative DNEL value of the parent ester HEMA against the analogous values of the metabolites on molar basis. For this approach, the oral route was considered due to the suitable data availability of the relevant substances: For HEMA and EG oral data are available while for MAA no oral data are available but reliable data from the donor substance MMA (Methyl Methacrylate;  see below table).


While the DNELs cannot be directly compared on explicit number level due to their different starting points (subacute vs. chronic studies), a rough comparison identifies the HEMA DNEL as sufficiently low to cover the repeated dose hazard of the metabolites when using an AF of 1 for “remaining uncertainties”. As consequence, an AF of 1 for “remaining uncertainties” (plus all other used AFs) is considered as sufficiently conservative and does not have to be adopted further.

  1. AF for exposure duration


The starting point is the NOAEL of the screening study with an exposure period of approx. 54 d for the relevant sex (males). The chosen AF of 6 for the extrapolation from sub-acute to chronic exposure (ECHA 2012) represents a conservative approach as this study period exceeds a standard subacute study (28 d) almost by a factor of 2.
