Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

The substance is not genotoxic.

Chronic exposure

The critical study for benzoic acid, 2 -hydroxy-,C14 -18 alkyl derivs. is the OECD 407 study (Beerens-Heijnen, 2015) with a NOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/day for increased liver weights in males and females. As there are no chronic or sub-chronic studies, this sub-acute study has been used to derive a chronic DNEL.

Acute exposure

An acute DNEL was not required. In studies (Latour, 506481 and 506482, 2014) no acute toxicity was observed in doses of up to 2000 mg/kg. In addition, the substance has no consumer uses, so only workers will be exposed to benzoic acid, 2 -hydroxy-C14 -18 alkyl derivs. Since exposure to workers is controlled to remain below the chronic DNEL, acute exposures are not expected, so this DNEL is not required.

Additional information - General Population

In accordance ECHA guidance (Chapter R.5: Adaptation of information requirements), no general population DNELs are set because there are no uses that would result in significant exposure of the general public to benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-,C14-18 alkyl derivs. (see IUCLID dossier Section 3.5).
