Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapor pressure of long chain aliphatic alcohols with carbon chain lengths of C5 and more, including 1-nonanol, is too low to reach vapor concentrations that cause toxicity following single or repeated inhalation exposure (6 or 7 h/day, days 1-19 of gestation in combined repeated toxicity/reproduction toxicity study; cf. chapter 7.5.3).
It is concluded that this finding does also apply for TCD alcohol DM with its carbon structure of C12. The vapor pressure is determined to be < 1 hPa (extrapolated from experimental result; see Sect. 4.6)
Executive summary:

There was no inhalation toxicity seen in rats exposed to higher aliphatic alcohols. The vapor pressure of long chain aliphatic alcohols with carbon chain lengths of C5 and more, including 1 -octanol, 1-nonanol, and 1 -decanol, is too low to reach vapor concentrations that cause toxicity following single or repeated inhalation exposure (6 or 7 h/day, days 1-19 of gestation in a combined repeated toxicity/reproduction toxicity study; cf. chapter 7.5.3) (Nelson et al., 1990).

It is concluded that this finding does also apply for TCD alcohol DM with its carbon structure of C12.
