Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

nhalation acute toxicity test results in LOAEC value of 0.45mg /l. This value correspond to 450mg/m3. To use a LOAEC as starting point to derive a DNEL is necessary to carry out a correction. Initially, an assessment factor of 3 is applied to determine the NOAEC. Thus, NOAEC is NOAEC=(450 mg/m3)/3=150 mg/m3 Duration of the exposure shall be corrected since the test was performed for 4 hours. In addition, breathing volume for rats and humans shall also be considered: NAEC=150×4h/8h×6.7m3/10m3=50.25 mg/m3 Assessment factors for intraspecies and interspecies variation are applied. The variation in the sensitivity of rats and humans is corrected by applying an assessment factor of 4. An assessment factor of 5 is used for workers. DNEL is calculated as NAEC/(Overall AF). Thus, DNEL=(50.25 mg/m3)/(4×5)=2.5 mg/m3 The SCOEL have recommended (1998) an IOEL value of 2.5 mg/m3 F in a mixture of HF and inorganic fluorides (8-hour TWA).  They concluded that the 8-hour TWA was sufficient to protect against systemic effects (fluorosis) . The use of IOEL valuees is justified as there is no new scientific information which indicates that the IOEL values do not provide an appropriate level of protection under REACH.
