Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicological Summary
Administrative data
Workers - Hazard via inhalation route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 9.87 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:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 740.5 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
NOAECcorr = NOAELoral*(1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day)*(ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human)*(6.7 m³ (8h)/10 m³ (8h))*(7 days exposure rat/5 days exposure worker) = 300 mg/kg bw/day*(1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day)*(1/1)*0.67*1.4 = 740.5 mg/m³.
In contrast to the recommendations of the ECHA Guidance, a factor of 1 (equal absorption of 100% assumed for the oral and the inhalative route for animals and humans) was included for the extrapolation from oral to inhalation absorption, as there is no valid data suggesting that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion (recommendation of the VCI Working group “Toxicology”, 2008). Molecules with a molecular weight <500 and a log Kow between 0 and 4 can be assumed to be well absorbed equivalently by the oral and inhalation route. Oral absorption may be reduced for acids and bases depending on their pKa value and their electric charge in the GI tract. More lipophilic substances may be better absorbed in the GI tract due to solubilisation with bile acids, and thus oral absorption may be higher than inhalation absorption (VCI Working group “Toxicology”, 2008). Unless valid data suggest that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion, equal absorption will be assumed when extrapolating from oral to inhalation route.

- Value:

- Value:

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
NOAELcorr = NOAELoral*(ABSoral-rat/ABSdermal-human) = (300 mg/kg bw/day)*(1/1)*(7 days exposure rat/5 days exposure worker)
= 420 mg/kg bw/day. It is assumed that the dermal absorption rate is 100% of that of the oral absorption according to ECHA CSA Guidance Chapter R.7c Figure R.7.12-5.ABSoral-rat=oral absorption rate in rats, ABSdermal-human=dermal absorption rate in humans.

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
NOAECcorr = NOAELoral*(1/1.15 m³/kg bw/day)*(ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human)* = 300 mg/kg bw/day*(1/1.15 m³/kg bw/day)*(1/1) = 260.87 mg/m³.
