Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

Data considered in this hazard assessment derive from studies performed on sodium diisobutylnaphtalene sulphonate itself and from studies performed on similar substances, according to a read-across principle. Full justification of read-across application is provided in a separate document.

DNELs for inhalation and dermal routes of exposure have been derived. The DNEL derived for inhalation route after long term-exposure (systemic effects) has been derived from the 28-day repeated toxicity study by oral route with rats. The DNELs derived for inhalation route after short term-exposure (systemic and local effects) have been derived from the results of a 4-hour exposure study. The NO(A)EC from these inhalation studies had to be corrected into the correct starting point, considering the differences in the duration of exposure between the laboratory animals at rest and workers at light activity. A qualitative assessment has been carried out for local effect after repeated inhalation exposure.

The DNEL derived for the dermal route after long-term exposure derives from the 28-day repeated toxicity study by oral route with rats.

Where the route of exposure in the relevant toxicity study was not the same of workers, a route-to-route extrapolation has been carried out.

The correct starting points were divided by an overall assessment factor, which was a result of various consideration on uncertainties in inter-and intra-species variations, and on differences in the duration of exposure between test animals and humans. Moreover also the whole quality of the database was considered.

No DNELs were derived for local effects after long-term dermal exposure, and for systemic and local effects after short-term dermal exposure, because no hazard has been identified (i.e. the studies performed for the acute dermal toxicity endpoint, the skin irritation/corrosion endpoint and for the skin sensitization endpoint revealed no effects, and a low degree of percutaneous absorption is expected for sodium diisobutylnaphtalene sulphonate). No DNEL have been derived for the eye irritation effects, for which a qualitative approach has been followed, leading to a low hazard for this endpoint.

General Population - Hazard for the eyes

Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - General Population

Data considered in this hazard assessment derive from studies performed on sodium diisobutylnaphtalene sulphonate itself and from studies performed on similar substances, according to a read-across principle. Full justification of read-across application is provided in a separate document.

DNELs for inhalation and dermal routes of exposure have been derived. The DNEL derived for inhalation route after long term-exposure (systemic effects) has been derived from the 28-day repeated toxicity study by oral route with rats. The DNELs derived for inhalation route after short term-exposure (systemic and local effects) have been derived from the results of a 4-hour exposure study. The NO(A)EC from these inhalation studies had to be corrected into the correct starting point, considering the differences in the duration of exposure between the laboratory animals and general population. A qualitative assessment has been carried out for local effect after repeated inhalation exposure.

The DNEL derived for the dermal route after long-term exposure derives from the 28-day repeated toxicity study by oral route with rats.

Where the route of exposure in the relevant toxicity study was not the same of workers, a route-to-route extrapolation has been carried out. 

Also DNELs for oral exposure have been derived: the DNEL for long-term exposure derived from the NOAEL determined in the 28-day repeated toxicity study by oral route with rats, while the DNEL for short-term exposure derives from the NOEL for systemic effects observed in one of the oral acute toxicity study available.

The correct starting points were divided by an overall assessment factor, which was a result of various consideration on uncertainties in inter-and intra-species variations, and on differences in the duration of exposure between test animals and humans. Moreover also the whole quality of the database was considered.

No DNELs were derived for local effects after long-term dermal exposure, and for systemic and local effects after short-term dermal exposure, because no hazard has been identified (i.e. the studies performed for the acute dermal toxicity endpoint, the skin irritation/corrosion endpoint and for the skin sensitization endpoint revealed no effects, and a low degree of percutaneous absorption is expected for sodium diisobutylnaphtalene sulphonate). No DNEL have been derived for the eye irritation effects, for which a qualitative approach has been followed, leading to a low hazard for this endpoint.
