Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
56 µg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
By inhalation
DNEL related information
Overall assessment factor (AF):
15
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1.69 mg/m³
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
0.85 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

6/8 : Correction for differences between exposure duration in animal study (6 hours/day) to length of workday for workers (8 hours/day)

6.7/10 : Correction for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers at rest compared to workers at light activity (6.7 m3/10 m3)

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
NOAEC is used as a starting point
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
subchronic study
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
no allometric scalling has to be applied
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
default factor
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
The assessment factor is introduced since it is expected that a greater variability in response from the most to least sensitive human would be seen, relative to an experimental animal population. ECETOC (2003) has reviewed scientific literature on the distribution of human data for various toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic parameters to assess intraspecies variability within the human population, specifically by Renwick and Lazarus (1998) and Hattis et al. (1999). Considering that the data analysed by these authors include both sexes, a variety of disease states and ages, the use of the 95th percentile of the distribution of the variability for these datasets is considered sufficiently conservative to account for intra-species variability for the general population. Based on this, a default assessment factor of 3 is recommended by ECETOC (2003) for workers.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
15.1 µg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
other: AGW ("Arbeitsplatzgrenzwert") derived by German authorities. Details see section "Explanation for hazard conclusion"

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
4.8 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
By inhalation
DNEL related information
Overall assessment factor (AF):
15
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1.69 mg/m³
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
71.9 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

NOAELdermal = NOAECinhal * (6/8) / ((1/0.38 m3/kg/d) * 0.67 * (ABSdermal / ABSinhal))

 

6/8 : Correction for differences between exposure duration in animal study (6 hours/day) to length of workday for workers (8 hours/day)

1/0.38 : Standard respiratory volume of a rat, corrected for 8 h exposure

0.67 : Correction for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers at rest compared to workers at light activity (6.7 m3/10 m3)

ABSdermal / ABSinhal = 0.1 / 10
