Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
17.5 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):
200
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for oral exposure is extrapolated to inhalational exposure considering the default assumption that the inhalation absorption rate is considred twice as high as the oral rate i.e. the starting point for the DNEL for inhalational exposure is DNEL oral exposure/2 (i.e 2.5 mg/kg/d). Assuming a default body weight of workes of 70 kg and an 8-hour inhalation volume of 10 m3 air, a DNEL for inhalation for systemic effects of 2.5 mg/kg/d x 70 kg / 10 m3 = 17.5 mg/m3 can be estimated.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
5 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
200
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No dermal repeated dose studies available. Absorption by dermal route is by default considered identical to absorption from oral route.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
4
Justification:
NOAEL of 100mg/kg bw/d from OECD 422 study (28-56 days of oral exposure)
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Acute/short term exposure

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

In a primary eye irritation study (Kaysen A., 1984), 0.1 ml of Metiloil A (read-across substance) was instilled into the conjonctival sac of 6 New Zealand white male rabbits. Animals then were observed for 3 days. Slight irritation was observed one hour after treatment. Slight chemosis and slight conjunctivae were observed in two animals and four animals, respectively. Two animals presented conjunctivae with diffuse, crimson colour and individual vessels not easily discernible. Effects were reversible within one day. In this study, Metiloil A (read-across substance) was not considered as an eye irritant based on EU-GHS.
