Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conversion of long term systemic inhalation DNEL from mg/m3 to ppm

 

The registered substance, Reaction mass of 1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13-pentaoxapentadecane and 1-chloro-2-[(2-chloroethoxy)methoxy]ethane and 1-chloro-2-{[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethoxy]methoxy}ethane, is a multi-constituent substance. The DNEL for long term systemic effects via the inhalation route was derived from an OECD422 oral repeated dose study. The DNEL is calculated in mg/m3according to the REACH guidance. This is appropriate in case of exposure to an aerosol.

 

However, a vapour pressure was determined for the multi constituent substance and was found to be10Pa at 20°C and 1050Pa at 90°C (AQURA 2013). This vapour pressure is low at 20°C and moderate at 90°C which means vapours can be formed. For this reason the DNEL in mg/m3needs to be converted to ppm. The only potential exposure to the multi constituent substance is during sampling and if any exposure occurs at all it will be to a vapour.

 

The vapour pressure that was determined does not give an indication which of the constituents is most volatile. To investigate if there are any major differences between the volatility of the constituent the vapour pressure was estimated for the three major constituents.

Several values were estimated using several methods, one or average is then chosen by EPISUITE.

 

Substance

Vapour pressure at 25°C

Multi-constituent:

Reaction mass of 1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13-pentaoxapentadecane and 1-chloro-2-[(2-chloroethoxy)methoxy]ethane and 1-chloro-2-{[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethoxy]methoxy}ethane

Meausured:14.1 Pa

Calculated: -

Constituent 1, 40%:

bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane

 

Measured:17.1 Pa

Calculated:19.4 Pa 

Constituent 2, 25%:

1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13-penta-oxa pentadecane

Measured: -

Calculated:0.00647 Pa

Constituent 3, 10%:

2-chloroethoxymethyl-2-chloroethoxyethyl-ether

Measured: -

Calculated:1.17 Pa

 

The impurities are similar structures with higher molecular weights. Therefore, it is not expected that the vapour pressures for these substances will be higher than those of the major constituents. An exception is 2-chloroethanol with a vapour pressure of ±700 Pa at 25°C but this substance is present at ca. 0.3% as an impurity of a 2.35 mg/m3DNEL for the multi constituent this is 0.007 mg/m3or 0.002 ppm. 2-chloroethanol has an OEL of 1ppm (3.3 mg/m3) 8h TWA/ 15 min STEL in Germany and this will not be reached. If measurements are performed 2-chloroethanol exposure levels should stay below the OEL.

 

Based on these estimations it can be shown that the vapour pressure for multiconstituent andbis(2-chloroethoxy)methane are in the same range. Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane is the most volatile constituent with the highest concentration in the multi constituent and therefore that potential exposure would be to this constituent. This substance has a long term systemic DNEL of 1.76 mg/m3this is 0.24 ppm, and a short term acute systemic DNEL of 6.25 mg/m3 this is 0.87 ppm

The risk assessment will be based on this DNEL since it is most relevant for inhalation exposure.
