Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information - workers

The worker inhalation long-term systemic DNEL is the IOEL for pentane, isopentane and neopentane. This was converted to a dermal DNEL by multiplying it by 10 m3 (volume of air breathed in a day at work) and divided by 70 kg (the average body weight of a worker).

Additional information - General Population

The general population systemic DNELs were calculated based on the IOEL for Pentane, Isopentane, and Neopentane (3,000 mg/m3).

For the general population inhalation DNEL, 3,000 mg/m3 was multiplied by 10/20 to account for differences between workers and the general public for ventilation rates, 5/7 for difference in days of the week potentially exposed, and 3/5 to account for the AF of 5 intraspecies differences in the general population.

The general population dermal and oral DNELs were calculated by multiplying the general population inhalation DNEL by 20 m3 (volume of air breathed in a day) and divided by 60 kg (the average body weight in the general population).
