Acute Effects

LCCPs demonstrate a low order of acute toxicity. No mortalities were observed and the reported oral LD50values all exceeded 5,000 mg/kg bwt in the rat, mouse and dog. This conclusion is also supported by additional acute intraperitoneal (i.p.) studies in rats and mice that showed no mortality at 5,000 mg/kg bwt (i.p.) with several different LCCP test substances. The lack of acute toxicology data via inhalation or dermal exposure routes for LCCPs is not expected to be an important data gap as these routes of exposure are insignificant for LCCPs, which have very low vapour pressure and are absorbed very poorly through the skin.

DNELs for acute toxicity should be derived if an acute toxicity hazard, leading to classification and labelling (e.g. under EU CLP or DSD regulations), has been identified and there is a potential for high peak exposures (this is only usually relevant for inhalation exposures). As no acute hazard has been identified, then a DNEL for acute toxicity is unnecessary as the long-term DNEL will normally be sufficient to ensure that adverse effects do not occur. Consequently, no worker-DNELs for acute toxicity have been calculated.

Irritation/Sensitisation

LCCPs are not classified as skin or respiratory irritants or sensitisers. As such, there is no basis to establish DNELs based on localised effects.

Derivation of the DNELs

There are three sets of DNELs for LCCPs to cover the three main classes of LCCP:

- C18 -C20 Liquid LCCP

- C20 -C30 Liquid LCCP

- C20 -C30 Solid LCCP

The derivation of these DNELs is provided below:
