Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The NOAEL of 250 mg/kg/day from a 90-day repeat dose oral study with rats was used.

Assuming an oral/inhalation rate of absorption of 0.5, a dose descriptor of 220.4 mg/m3 was derived as the starting point.

Overall assessment factor (AF):

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

A NOAEL of 250 mg/kg/day was selected from a 90-day repeat dose oral study with rats. 

Oral absorption rat – oral/dermal absorption human: Assume 25% absorption based on the physical-chemical properties (water solubility, liquid nature, low molecular weight) in accordance with Endpoint Specific Guidance Chapter 8 and 7c (R.7.12).

Therefore, a dose descriptor of 1000 mg/kg/day was derived as the starting point. See discussion for route to route extrapolation caluculations.

Initial Dose Descriptor

In a 90-day oral gavage study with rats a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) of 250 mg/kg bw/d was set.

Due to low vapor pressure, inhalation is not expected to be a major route of exposure. For the DNEL covering local effects of inhalation, route-specific data need to be available (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment R 8.1.2.6). Exposure to a repeated oral high dose is not expected under normal occupational settings and there are no consumer uses of this substance. Human exposure, via the environment, is unlikely due to the instability of the peroxide.

 

The test substance is a skin sensitizer, which is considered a systemic effect. Therefore, a qualitative risk assessment, for dermal systemic effects will be conducted based on its classification as a Category 1 sensitizer which is considered as a high hazard (ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Part E, Table E.3 -1). However, DNELs were derived for non-sensitizing systemic effects.

DNEL dermal-systemic-worker for CAS 37187 -22 -7

A NOAEL of 250 mg/kg/day was selected from a 90-day repeat dose oral study with rats. 

Oral absorption rat – oral/dermal absorption human: Assume 25% absorption based on the physical-chemical properties (water solubility, liquid nature, low Log Pow value) in accordance with Endpoint Specific Guidance Chapter 8 and 7c (R.7.12).

250 mg/kg/day / 0.25 = 1000 mg/kg/day = dermal dose descriptor

Applying assessment factors in accordance with Endpoint Specific Guidance Chapter 8:

Correction for interspecies differences (apply factor for allometric scaling 4 for rat x 2.5 for additional factors): 10

=  1000 mg/kg/day/10 = 100 mg/kg/day

Correction for intraspecies difference: 5

100 mg/kg/day/5 = 25 mg/kg/day

Correction for duration between sub-acute to chronic: 4

100 mg/kg/day/4 = 5 mg/kg/day

Correction for dose-response: 1 due to NOAEL

5 mg/kg/day/1 = 5 mg/kg/day

Correction for whole database: 1 due to quality of study

5 mg/kg/day/1 = 5 mg/kg/day

Total AF = 200

DNEL inhalation-systemic-worker

The dose descriptor of 250 mg/kg/day was selected from a 90-day repeat dose oral study in rats.

Assume ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human is 50/100 = 0.5 based on phys-chem properties and Endpoint Specific Guidance chapters 8 and 7c (R.7.12)

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC from oral NOAEL:

Oral NOAEL x (1/sRVrat) x (ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human) x (sRVhuman/wRV)

[ABS: absorption; sRV: standard Respiratory Volume; wRV: worker Respiratory Volume]

Corrected NOAEC = 250 mg/kg/day x (1/0.38 m3/kg/day) x (0.5) x 6.7m3/10m3

= 220.4 mg/m3 = inhalation dose descriptor

Applying remaining assessment factors in accordance with Endpoint Specific Guidance Chapter 8:

Correction for interspecies differences: 2.5

220.4 mg/m3/2.5 = 88.16 mg/m3

Correction for intraspecies difference: 5

88.16 mg/m3/5 = 17.63 mg/m3

Correction for duration between sub-acute to chronic: 4

17.63 mg/m3/4 = 4.41 mg/m3

Correction for dose-response: 1

4.41 mg/m3/1 = 4.41 mg/m3

Correction for whole database: 1 due to quality of study

4.41 mg/m3/1 = 4.41 mg/m3
