Systemic effects
Long term exposure

- Value:
- 3.3 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):
- 300
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 1 000 mg/kg bw/day
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
- A factor of 0.1 was used because uptake via the oral route is strongly facilitated by disintegration of the copper-azomethin complex by the stomach acid to the organic anion and copper cations. Upon skin contact, the substance remains intact. Due to its insolubility in water (solubility less than 0.012 mg/L), transport through the skin barrier is not efficient. Therefore, as a precautionary approach, it is assumed that 10% of the dose is able to pass the barrier of the skin.

The substance is an organo-metallic complex that disintegrates in strongly acidic environments. It does not have local toxicity (not irritating to skin and eyes, not skin sensitizing) and it is not genotoxic. It did not show toxicity to reproduction in rats (screening level).
Repeated oral gavage dosing results in increased concentrations of copper in the liver and in effects on liver which are consistent with copper toxicity.
Under normal environmental conditions, as they are relevant for skin contact, the complex remains intact and no uptake of copper by skin permeation needs to be considered.
In the acute inhalation study, mortality at the highest dust concentration triggered classification and labelling.
