Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
6 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
149.9 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Since no long-term inhalation toxicity data are available the oral NOAEL must be converted to an inhalation value to use as the starting point. Using the formula for workers in Figure R.8-3 of Chapter R.8 (p.27) and the oral NOAEL of 85 mg/kg, the resulting inhalation NOAEC would be 149.9 mg/m3. Because this conversion includes interspecies exposure duration differences, no allometric scaling assessment factor is required.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
85 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
100
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
8 500 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Based on data from a dermal absorption study of the read across substance (C12 LAS homologue) in isolated human epidermis (Howes 1975) that indicated < 0.065% of the applied dose penetrated the skin in 48 hours, 1% dermal absorption is conservatively assumed. The dermal NOAEL is therefore 8500 mg/kg bw/day.

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
1.5 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):
50
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
73.9 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Since no long-term inhalation toxicity data are available the oral NOAEL must be converted to an inhalation value to use as the starting point. Using the formula for the general population in Figure R.8-3 of Chapter R.8 (p.27) and the oral NOAEL of 85 mg/kg, the resulting inhalation NOAEC would be 73.9 mg/m3. Because this conversion includes interspecies exposure duration differences, no allometric scaling assessment factor is required.
