Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
16.46 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):
75
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 234.21 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

8-h breathing volume of rat (0.38 m3/kg) and 8-h breathing volume of human (6.7 m3/kg in general population and 10 m3/kg in worker); days per week of exposure in
experimental animals (7 d/w) and in humans (5 d/w in workers).
No experimental data on absorption via oral and inhalation route available, thus worst case assumption for absorption: 50 % orally and 100 % by inhalation.


Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = 1000 mg/kg bw/day × (1/0.38 m3/kg/day) × (50 %/100 %) × (6.7 m3 (8h)/10 m3 (8h)) × (7 d/w / 5 d/w) = 1234.21 mg/m3

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

Inhalation route - systemic effects

A DNEL for prolonged exposure was derived from the oral subacute study, which revealed a NOAEL = 1000 mg/kg bw/day (no LOAEL determined, substance not classified as to repeated dose toxicity properties).

No hazard was identified upon short-term exposure, since the substance was not classified as acutely toxic.

Inhalation route - local effects

Local effects by long-term and short-term inhalation were assessed, based on a eye irritation study, as no study by via inhalation was available. Medium and low hazard were identified due to uncertainties by exposure route and duration.

Dermal route - systemic effects

Absorption by dermal route is expected to be low, based on a high molecular weight and a low logPow of the substance. However, a positive response in the GPMT gave evidence of absorption to a certain extent.

Accordingly, both long-term and short-term exposure to test substance via dermal route was associated to a high hazard, as might cause hypersensitivity reactions.

Dermal route - local effects

In a skin irritation test, slight reversible irritation was seen, not leading to classification. Consequently, no hazard was identified for acute exposure by dermal route.

However, slight irritation signs were noted in the acute toxicity test, in the skin irritation test and in the preliminary screenings in the GPMT. As no data was available on possible effects upon prolonged exposure, a medium hazard was assumed.

No hazard for eyes was identified as the substance is not eye irritant.

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
2.9 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral

Overall assessment factor (AF):

Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
434.78 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No inhalation study is available and the NOAEC was derived by route to route extrapolation from the oral NOAEL.


24 h exposure time, extrapolation from 50 % bioavailability oral to 100 % bioavailability inhalation.


Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = 1000 mg/kg bw/day × (1/1.15 m3/kg/day) × (50 %/100 %) = 434.78 mg/m3
