Acute DNELs - Worker: Production of SBA is in excess of 10 t/y. According to the REACh "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part B: Hazard Assessment", above 10 t/y, the establishment of acute toxicity DNEL is unnecessary in most cases, as the DNEL based on repeated dose toxicity is normally sufficient to ensure that adverse effects do not occur. Thus, as long term DNELs are available for SBA, separate acute DNELs were not derived. Assessment of acute effects should default to the long term systemic DNELs. Local Effects - not classified as a skin irritant - local effects not quantifiable

Discussion: Similar to worker, acute effects for general populations should default to long-term systemic DNELs. Local effects not quantifiable; SBA is not a skin irritant. DNELs are based on study entitled: "Toxicity Studies in Rats with 2-Butanol Including Growth, Reproduction, and Teratologic Observations "HSE-75-0070 US EPA 2003 HSE-75-0070", which is a two generation rat study. With respect to most sensitive endpoint; although the study was for teratogenicity; the chemical was not found to be a teratogen or developmental toxicant; thus the most senstive endpoint was selected as repeated dose toxicity. Starting Dose for DNEL Calculation (NOEL) = 1% or ~1500 mg/kg/d. The modified doses for DNEL Calculations = Inhalation worker: 2645 mg/m3; Inhalation general population: 1304 mg/m3; Dermal worker: 1500 mg/kg bw; Dermal general population: 1500 mg/kg/d; Oral general population = 1500 mg/kg/d. In the absence of quantitative absorption data for SBA, data available for the related compound MEK were used for the purpose of calculating an inhalation and dermal DNEL from the oral SBA study: Inhalation: Ibriani et al., 1989 reported 54% retention from inhalation exposures to MEK; Oral: MEK and SBA have a molecular weight of <500 g/mol and a log Kow between 0 and 4; therefore, it is assumed to be well absorbed equivalently by the oral and inhalation route; therefore, oral assumed to be 54%. Dermal: dermal absorption of MEK, in vivo, was reported to be 4%. (NIOSH, 2002) References for MEK absorption data: Imbriani M, Ghittori S, Pezzagno G, Capodaglio E.
