Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
2.4 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
75
Dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEC
Value:
176 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The following corrections are made to the LOAEL (oral): Respiratory volume rat = 0.38 m3/kg bw/8 hr day. Respiratory volume human = 6.7 m3. Respiratory volume worker = 10 m3. Bioavailability in the rat and human is assumed equal. Oral absorption in the rat and inhalation absorption in the human are assumed equal. Therefore, the corrected worker LOAEC for repeat-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 100 mg/kg bw/day x (1/0.38) x (6.7) / (10) = 176 mg/m3.

300
Dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day

Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No corrections are made to the LOAEL (oral). Bioavailability in the rat and human is assumed equal. Oral absorption in the rat and dermal absorption in the human are assumed equal. Therefore, the corrected worker LOAEL for repeat-dose systemic effects via the dermal route is: 100 mg/kg bw/day.

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

The systemic oral LOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/day identified in the OECD Test Guideline 408 and GLP compliant study with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propanethiol is primarily based on renal effects in female rats starting at 100 mg/kg bw/day (and starting at 300 mg/kg bw/day in male rats). The effects on the kidneys were degenerative in nature (tubular degeneration, papillary necrosis and granular casts). It is therefore appropriate to use the oral LOAEL as the starting point to derive the inhalation and dermal DNELs for workers.

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.58 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
150
Dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
LOAEC
Value:
87 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The following corrections are made to the LOAEL (oral): Respiratory volume rat = 1.15 m3/kg bw/24 hr day. Bioavailability in the rat and human is assumed equal. Oral absorption in the rat and inhalation absorption in the human are assumed equal. Therefore, the corrected general population LOAEC for repeat-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 100 mg/kg bw/day x (1/1.15) = 87.0 mg/m3.

Additional information - General Population

The systemic oral LOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/day identified in the OECD Test Guideline 408 and GLP compliant study with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propanethiol is primarily based on renal effects in female rats starting at 100 mg/kg bw/day (and starting at 300 mg/kg bw/day in male rats). The effects on the kidneys were degenerative in nature (tubular degeneration, papillary necrosis and granular casts). It is therefore appropriate to use the oral LOAEL as the starting point to derive the inhalation and oral DNELs for the general population (man via the environment).
