Workers - Hazard for the eyes

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).

General Population - Hazard for the eyes

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).
