Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

DNELs are derived using the 2010 Guidance on characterisation of dose-response for human health (Version 2). An oral absorption value of 66% is taken from ADME testing, as a measure of GI absorption in the rat.

In an acute dermal toxicity study, and a 21-day repeat-dose dermal study, no evidence of systemic effects were noted. In addition, JMPR (2002) concluded propargite to require no Acute RfD since no acute toxicity was apparent. Propargite is irritant at low concentrations, and the local effects of dermal exposure are of more concern than potential systemic toxicity. The very low DNEL for acute dermal local effects will be protective of systemic effects from acute dermal exposure. No systemic risk via acute dermal exposure is likely, and no acute dermal DNEL for systemic effect is allocated.

For acute systemic exposure via inhalation, no appropriate study is available. As surrogate, it is assumed that maternal toxicity seen in a rabbit teratogenicity study is both acute in aetiology, and as a worst-case evaluation is not attributable to irritancy within the GI tract. No appropriate sRVrabbit is identified; that of the rat is used as a probable close surrogate.

Propargite is clearly irritant. However, an acute NOAEC of 0.1% was demonstrated within preliminary irritancy testing for the Buehler study and is used to derive a NOAEL for local dermal effects.
