Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
23.5 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 763.2 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Modification of the dose descriptors is necessary, because the routes of exposure are different between animals (oral) and humans (inhalation). For this purpose the default respiratory volume for the rat corresponding to the daily duration of human exposure is considered in the first step, followed by a correction for the difference between respiratory rates of workers under standard conditions and under light activity in the second step. NAECcorr_inh = oral NOAEL (1000)  x  1/0.38 m3/kg bw x 6.7 m3/10 m3 = 1763.2 mg/m3. Oral absorption in rats in humans is assumed to be 100% and inhalation absorption in humans is assumed to be 100%. Therefore, NAECcorr_inh = 1763.2 x 1 = 1763.2 mg/m3.

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
3.33 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Assuming that oral absorption in rats is 100% and that dermal absorption in humans is 100%. Therefore dose descriptor after route to route extrapolation is  1000 x 100/100 = 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

Additional information - workers

The lowest NOAEL value was obtained in male rats in the 90 day oral repeated dose toxicity study, however, the nephrotoxicity observed in male rats is considered to be a species specific effect and not relevant to humans. The NOAEL for female rats in this study was established to be 100 mg/kg bw/day, however, no basis for this is provided therefore the NOAEL for female rats from the 28 day oral repeated dose toxicity study was selected as starting point for deriving the long-term systemic inhalation DNEL and the long-term systemic dermal DNEL. Acute and long-term inhalation local DNELs were not derived because it is considered that derivation from long term systemic effects provides a suitable margin for safety of use.

The substance is classified as a category 2 skin irritant, however, no dose response data are available therefore a qualitative risk assessment has been conducted. An acute systemic dermal DNEL was not derived because the substance is not classified for acute dermal toxicity. An acute systemic inhalation DNEL was derived using the LOAEC value from the acute inhalation study as a starting point.

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:

Value:
5.8 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
869.6 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Modification of the dose descriptors is necessary, because the routes of exposure are different between animals (oral) and humans (inhalation). For this purpose, the oral dose for the rat is converted to the corresponding air concentration using a standard breathing volume for the rat (1.15 m3/kg for 24 hrs exposure of general public). NAECcorr_inh = oral NOAEL (1000)  x  1/1.15 m3/kg bw = 869.6 mg/m3. Oral absorption in rats in humans is assumed to be 100% and inhalation absorption in humans is assumed to be 100%.  Therefore, NAECcorr_inh = 869.6 x 1 = 869.6 mg/m3

The NOAEL for female rats in this study was established to be 100 mg/kg bw/day, however, no basis for this is provided therefore the NOAEL for female rats from the 28 day oral repeated dose toxicity study was selected as starting point for deriving the long-term systemic oral DNEL, the long-term systemic inhalation DNEL and the long-term systemic dermal DNEL.

The substance is classified as a category 2 skin irritant, however, no dose response data are available therefore a qualitative risk assessment has been conducted. An acute systemic dermal DNEL and an acute systemic oral DNEL was not derived because the substance is not classified either for acute dermal toxicity or for acute oral toxicity. An acute systemic inhalation DNEL was derived using the LOAEC value from the acute inhalation study as a starting point.
