Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
2.94 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:

Overall assessment factor (AF):
18
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
30 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
52.89 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Kinetics (metabolism, distribution and excretion) are considered to be similar for oral and inhalation intake in the absence of evidence of the opposite.

Starting point: NOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw/day in a One Generation Reproduction Toxicity Study in rat.

Conversion of an oral NOAEL into a corrected NOAEC:

For workers (8h exposure/day), the corrected inhalatory NOAEC = oral NOAEL * 1/sRVrat * ABSoral-rat /ABSinhal-human * sRVhuman/wRV

           = 30 mg/kg bw/day * 1/0.38 m3/kg/8h * 100 /100 * 6.7 m3(8h)/10 m3(8h)

           = 30 mg/kg bw/day * 1/0.38 m3/kg/8h * 1 * 6.7 m3 (8h)/10 m3(8h)

= 30 /0.38 * 1* (6.7/10) = 52.89 mg/m3.

 

With ABS: Absorption, sRV: Standard Respiratory Volume; wRV: Worker Respiratory Volume;

ABSoral-rat /ABSinhal-human= 100/100= 1, assuming no differences in inhalation absorption between rats and humans.

Value:

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Kinetics (metabolism, distribution and excretion) are considered to be similar for oral and inhalation intake in the absence of evidence of the opposite.

Starting point: NOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw/day in a One Generation Reproduction Toxicity Study in rat.

Conversion of an oral NOAEL into a corrected NOAEC:

The corrected inhalatory NOAEC (8 hours exposure/day) = oral NOAEL * 1/sRVrat * ABSoral-rat /ABSinhal-human * sRVhuman/wRV

= 30 mg/kg bw/day * 1/0.38 m3/kg/8h * 100 /100 * 6.7 m3 (8h)/10 m3 (8h)

= 30 mg/kg bw/day * 1/0.38 m3/kg/8h * 1 * 6.7 m3 (8h)/10 m3 (8h)

= 30 /0.38 * 1* (6.7/10) = 52.89 mg/m3.
