Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
3.53 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information

25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
10 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
88.16 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOAEL) based on a 90-d repeated dose toxicity study was considered to be 10 mg/kg bw/day. Since only a sub-chronic oral toxicity study is available a route-to-route extrapolation is needed to derive the DNELs for dermal and inhalation routes. According to Chapter R.8 of REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, it is proposed in the absence of route specific information on the starting route, to include a default factor of 2 in the case of oral-inhalation extrapolation.

The NOAEL rat oral gavage (Read across to source substance) = 10 mg/kg and therefore to allow for route-route extrapolation the default factor of 2 is applied resulting in 5 mg/kg bw/day. The corrected NAEC human (mg/m3) inhalation is therefore equivalent to 5/0.38 x 6.7 = 88.16 mg/m3

On the assumption, that in general, dermal absorption will not be higher than oral absorption, no default factor is introduced for the oral to dermal extrapolation. The REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.8.4.2) prescribes a default factor of 1 in case of oral to dermal extrapolation. This approach will be taken forward to DNEL derivation.

Additional information - workers

According to REACH "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part B: Hazard Assessment", above 10t/y, the establishment of acute toxicity DNEL is unnecessary in most cases, as the DNEL based on long-term exposure is normally sufficient to ensure that adverse effects do not occur. Thus, acute DNELs should default the long-term systemic DNELs.

For local effects, a DNEL was not quantifiable; However, as the substance is known to be a skin sensitizer, local effects must be assessed qualitatively and risk management measures applied as necessary. The potential for respiratory sensitization is unknown; however, given its skin sensitization potential, this endpoint should also be assessed qualitatively.

The dose descriptor starting point for DNEL calculation used:

NOAEL: 500 mg/kg bw (determined during an repeated dose oral toxicity study in rats performed in 2012).

By default the dermal absorption was considered to be 100%.

For inhalation, a NAEL human was determined using an allometric scaling of 4 and a body weight of 70 kg and found to be 125.00 mg/kg, resulting in a corrected NAEC human of 875 mg/m3.
