Acute/short-term exposure - systemic effects
According to the ECHA document "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose[concentration]-response for human health", a DNEL for acute systemic toxicity should only be derived if an acute systemic toxicity hazard leading to classification is identified.
Referring to the available data on acute toxicity, FeNaEDDHA displays low acute toxicity as evidenced by LD50 values of >2000 mg/kg bw determined in rats for both the oral and the dermal route, and a 4-h LC50 value of >4200 mg/m³ determined in rats for the inhalation route. Therefore, FeNaEDDHA is not subject to classification for acute toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (as amended for the ninth time in Regulation (EC) No 2016/1179), and consequently the derivation of worker DNELs for acute/short-term exposure - systemic effects is not required.
Acute/short-term and long-term exposure - local effects
Based on the available toxicological information, FeNaEDDHA is not subject to classification for skin, eye and/or respiratory irritation and skin sensitisation and no worker DNEL for local effects following acute/short-term or long-term exposure is derived. This is in line with the ECHA document "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose[concentration]-repsonse for human health".
Long-term exposure - systemic effects
Using a conservative approach, the NOELs determined in the repeated dose toxicity studies for the oral and dermal routes are also identified as NOAELs.
For the dermal route, the NO(A)EL of 100 mg/kg bw/day from the key subacute repeated dose dermal toxicity study (CIBA-GEIGY Limited, 1996b) is regarded as the relevant dose descriptor for systemic effects associated with long-term exposure to FeNaEDDHA. Dermal treatment with the test item resulted in no mortality, no relevant clinical signs, no changes in food consumption, no effects on haematology and clinical chemistry parameters and no gross findings. A transient slight body weight loss was noted in females at 1000 mg/kg bw/day during the first week of treatment. There was an increase in adrenal weight in males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Microscopically, the skin application sites of females at 1000 mg/kg bw/day revealed epidermal hyperkeratosis associated with an increased severity of acanthosis. In 2/5 males at 1000 mg/kg bw/day centrilobular hypertrophy of hepatocytes was noted.
For the inhalation route, the NOAEL of 25 mg/kg bw/day from the recently performed extended OECD 422 key subchronic oral toxicity study (CRL, 2022) is considered to represent the appropriate dose descriptor for systemic effects related to long-term inhalation exposure to FeNaEDDHA.
Estimation of NOAEL:
In order to derive a worker DNEL and under the assumption of a daily exposure period of 8 hours, the oral NO(A)EL is converted into an inhalation NO(A)EC according to the following formula:
inhalation NO(A)EC = oral NO(A)EL × 1/sRV(rat) × ABSoral(rat)/ABSinhalation(human) × sRV(human)/wRV(human)
with:
oral NO(A)EL: 25 mg/kg bw/day
sRV(rat): 0.38 m³/kg bw (8 hours) [standard respiratory volume of the rat]
ABSoral(rat)/ABSinhalation(human): 1 [ratio of oral absorption in the rat to inhalative absorption in the human]
sRV(human)/wRV(human): 6.7 m³/10 m³ [ratio of human standard respiratory volume to worker respiratory volume]
Accordingly, the oral NO(A)EL of 25 mg/kg bw/day is transformed in an inhalation NO(A)EC of 44 mg/m³.
The following assessment factors are used for the derivation of worker DNELs for dermal or inhalation exposure to FeNaEDDHA:
Interspecies factor (rat to human): 4 [used for the dermal route only]
Intraspecies factor (worker): 5
Exposure duration factor: 6 (subacute to chronic) [for the dermal route], 2 (subchronic to chronic) [for the inhalation route]
Dose-response factor: 1
Quality of whole database factor: 1
The resulting worker DNELs are:
worker DNEL (dermal exposure) = 100 mg/kg bw/day / (4 × 5 × 6 × 1 × 1) = 100 mg/kg bw/day / 120 = 0.83 mg/kg bw/day, rounded to 0.8 mg/kg bw/day
worker DNEL (inhalation exposure) = 17.636 mg/m³ / (5 × 2 × 1 × 1) = 44 mg/m³ / 10 = 4.4 mg/m³
This is in line with the ECHA document "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose[concentration]-response for human health".

In order to derive a general population DNEL and under the assumption of a daily exposure period of 24 hours, the oral NO(A)EL is converted into an inhalation NO(A)EC according to the following formula:
inhalation NO(A)EC = oral NO(A)EL × 1/sRV(rat) × ABSoral(rat)/ABSinhalation(human)
with:
oral NO(A)EL: 25 mg/kg bw/day
sRV(rat): 1.15 m³/kg bw/day [standard respiratory volume of the rat]
ABSoral(rat)/ABSinhalation(human): 1 [ratio of oral absorption in the rat to inhalative absorption in the human]
Accordingly, the oral NO(A)EL of 25 mg/kg bw/day is transformed in an inhalation NO(A)EC of 22 mg/m³.
For the oral route, the NO(A)EL of 25 mg/kg bw/day from the same study (CRL, 2022) is used as the dose descriptor for systemic effects after long-term exposure to FeNaEDDHA.
Estimation of NOAEL:
The following assessment factors are used for the derivation of general population DNELs for oral, dermal or inhalation exposure to FeNaEDDHA:
Interspecies factor (rat to human): 4 [used for the oral and dermal routes only]
Intraspecies factor (general population): 10
Exposure duration factor: 6 (subacute to chronic) [for the dermal route], 2 (subchronic to chronic) [for the oral and inhalation routes]
Dose-response factor: 1
Quality of whole database factor: 1
The resulting general population DNELs are:
general population DNEL (dermal exposure) = 100 mg/kg bw/day / (4 × 10 × 6 × 1 × 1) = 100 mg/kg bw/day / 240 = 0.417 mg/kg bw/day, 416.7 µg/kg bw/day
general population DNEL (inhalation exposure) = 22 mg/m³ / (10 × 2 × 1 × 1) = 1.1 mg/m³
general population DNEL (oral exposure) = 25 mg/kg bw/day / (4 × 10 × 2 × 1 × 1) = 25 mg/kg bw/day / 80 = 312 µg/kg bw/day
