Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
1.6 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:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
123.4 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

For the inhalation route there is no reliable animal study available. Therefore, oral rat data is used to calculate a corresponding air concentration for humans and a route-to-route extrapolation for systemic effects is necessary to derive the correct starting point. In the case of oral-to-inhalation the inclusion of a default factor of 2 is recommended according to chapter R.8.4.2 of the ECHA guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health (version 2.1, November 2012). According to Figure R. 8-3 in ECHA guidance R.8 additional correction is needed for scaling issues: Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = oral NOAEL * 50%/100% * 1/0.38 m³ per kg and day * 6.7 m³/10 m³ * 1.4 (based on the oral NOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/day for systemic toxicity obtained in the Guideline compliant subacute gavage study on rats the starting point is calculated with 12.34 mg/m³. Differences in experimental/human exposure conditions were considered with the factor 1.4 (7 days/week in animal study versus 5 days/week for workers).

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Since the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL according to chapter R.8.4.3.1 of ECHA guidance R.8 the default assessment factor for dose response relationship is 1.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
Difference in the experimental exposure duration (= sub-acute) and the duration of exposure for the population and scenario under consideration (= chronic) according to Table R.8-5 of ECHA guidance R.8.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Allometric scaling is already included in the route-to-route extrapolation for dose descriptor calculation as described in ECHA guidance R.8
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
A factor of 2.5 for remaining interspecies differences is suggested in ECHA guidance R.8 as default.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
According to chapter R.8.4.3.1 of ECHA guidance R.8 the default assessment factor to be applied for intraspecies differences in workers is 5.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
Default assessment factor for good/standard quality of database as suggested by ECHA guidance R.8.

repeated dose toxicity

Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
300
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
140 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

For the dermal route there is no reliable animal study available. Therefore, oral rat data is used to calculate a corresponding dermal dose for humans. On the assumption that in general dermal absorption will not be higher than oral absorption no default factor (i.e. factor 1) should be introduced when performing oral-to-dermal extrapolation (chapter 4.2 of the ECHA guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health (version 2.1, November 2012). Differences in experimental/human exposure conditions were considered with the factor 1.4 (7 days/week in animal study versus 5 days/week for workers).

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
As the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL according to chapter R.8.4.3.1 of ECHA guidance R.8 the default assessment factor for dose response relationship is 1.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
Difference in the experimental exposure duration (= subacute) and the duration of exposure for the population and scenario under consideration (= chronic) according to Table R.8-5 of ECHA guidance R.8.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
According to Table R.8-3 of ECHA guidance R.8 the allometric scaling factor for rats when compared with humans is 4.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
A factor of 2.5 for remaining interspecies differences is suggested in ECHA guidance R.8
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
According to chapter R.8.4.3.1 of ECHA guidance R.8 the default assessment factor to be applied for intraspecies differences in workers is 5.
AF for the quality of the whole database:

Justification:
Default assessment factor for good/standard quality of database as suggested by ECHA guidance R.8.
