Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
4.9 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
developmental toxicity / teratogenicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
600
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
300 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
529 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Per REACH Guidance 8.4.2 (Example R. 8-2 Workers), the oral NOAEL of 300 mg/kg/day ( Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) was converted to an inhalation equivalent:

300 mg/kg/day ÷ 0.38 m3/kg bw (8 h exposure – rat) × 6.7 m3 (8 h exposure – human) ÷ 10 m3 (worker respiratory volume [wRV] - 8 h) = 529 mg/m3

AF for dose response relationship:
2
Justification:
According to REACH Guidance (R.8.4.2), in the case of oral-to-inhalation extrapolation, and in the absence of route-specific information on the starting route, a default factor of 2 should be included (i.e. the absorption percentage for the starting route is half that of the end route). The inclusion of factor of 2 means that 50% (instead of 100%) absorption is assumed for oral absorption, and 100% for inhalation. A default factor of 2 is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.2.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
A factor allowing for differences in the experimental exposure duration and the duration of exposure for the population and scenario under consideration needs to be considered taking into account that a) in general the experimental NOAEL will decrease with increasing exposure times and b) other and more serious adverse effects may appear with increasing exposure times. A default factor of 6 (sub-acute to chronic exposure) is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.1.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
Allometric scaling extrapolates doses according to an overall assumption that equitoxic doses scale with body weight. A default factor of 4 (rat to human) is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.1.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
The standard procedure for threshold effects would be, as a default, to correct for differences in metabolic rate (allometric scaling) and to apply an additional factor of 2.5 for other interspecies differences. A default factor of 2.5 is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.1.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
For workers, as standard procedure for threshold effects a default assessment factor of 5 is to be used, based on the fact that this sub population does not cover the very young, the very old, and the very ill. A default factor of 5 is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.3.

Overall assessment factor (AF):
300
Dose descriptor starting point:

A default factor of 6 (sub-acute to chronic exposure) is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.1.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
Allometric scaling extrapolates doses according to an overall assumption that equitoxic doses (when expressed in mg/kg bw/day) scale with body weight. A default factor of 4 (rat to human) is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.1.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
The standard procedure for threshold effects would be, as a default, to correct for differences in metabolic rate (allometric scaling) and to apply an additional factor of 2.5 for other interspecies differences. A default factor of 2.5 is appropriate per REACH Guidance R.8.4.3.1.
