Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

- Dose of 75 mg/m3 : Slight but significant decrease in body weight in male and female mice + in male rats

- All doses: No effects in haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters. Local irritative effects on the nose was observed in rats and mice

In rats, concentrationand time-dependent minimal to slight rhinitis in the anterior nasal cavity were observed after 5 and 90 days. In mice, dose-dependently increasing lesions on skin and mucosa, particularly around the mouth and nose, were observed after 90 days at or above 30 mg/m3. In mice, histology revealed ulcerative dermatitis, necrotic cells in the subcutis and increased phagocytised blood pigments in macrophages and intracytoplasmatically in sub-epithelial cells.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The systemic NOAEL was found to be 30 mg/m3. The LOAEL for irritation was 15 mg/m3
