No acute and long-term DNEL for workers exposed via inhalation are derived from animal studies, because recommendations on occupational exposure limits for calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide are available from the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL/SUM/137, February 2008): STEL (15 min) = 4 mg/m³ respirable dust for short-term exposure to prevent local sensory irritation due to the irritation potential of the substance, and OEL (8 h) = 1 mg/m³ respirable dust (operator exposure limit, TWA, 8 h) to prevent local sensory irritation and decrease of lung function parameters as critical effects. No further assessment factors are applied to the exposure limits proposed by the SCOEL. These values are read-across to “Reaction mass of Limestone and dicalcium silicate”, in view of the anticipated equivalent local effect (pH is comparable to that of CaO and Ca(OH)2). Any effects of the substance are determined by the constituent calcium hydroxide. The other main constituents and major impurities are considered to be toxicologically non-relevant

For the oral route, no DNELs are derived in view of the role of calcium as an essential mineral nutrient. An upper intake level (UL) has been derived by the Scientific Committee on Food as 2500 mg/d for calcium. This value is sufficiently protective both with respect to acute and long-term exposure.
No acute and long-term DNELs for exposure of the general population via inhalation are derived from animal studies, because recommendations on occupational exposure limits for calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide are available from the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL/SUM/137, February 2008): STEL (15 min) = 4 mg/m³ respirable dust for short-term exposure to prevent local sensory irritation due to the irritation potential of the substance, andOEL (8 h) = 1 mg/m³ respirable dust (operator exposure limit, TWA, 8 h) to prevent local sensory irritation and decrease of lung function parameters as critical effects. These values are read-across to “Reaction mass of Limestone and dicalcium silicate” in view of the anticipated equivalent local effect (pH is comparable to that of CaO and Ca(OH)2). Any effects of the substance are determined by the constituent calcium hydroxide. The other main constituents and major impurities are considered to be toxicologically non-relevant.
These indicative exposure limits are considered as sufficiently protective also for the general population and are therefore proposed to be adopted. No further assessment factors are applied to the exposure limits proposed by the SCOEL
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
