Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
17.33 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):
12.5
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
100 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
176.32 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Inhalation studies assessing the systemic toxicity of zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) are not available. In the assessment of toxicity of zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate), read-across to the assessment entities zinc and 2-ethylhexanoic acid is applied since the ions of zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) determine its toxicity in biological compartments.

Reliable data available for the assessment entities zinc and 2-ethylhexanoic acid indicate that the moiety of toxicological concern is 2 -ethylhexanoic acid.

The toxicological hazard assessment is based on the most toxic moiety, i.e. 2 -ethylhexanoate anion, and the respective DNEL is recalculated for zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) based on a maximum 2 -ethylhexanoic acid content of 81.4 %.

Additional information - workers

In order to evaluate toxicological properties of the substance zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate), information on the assessment entities zinc cation and 2-ethylhexanoate anion were considered. For a documentation and justification of that approach, please refer to the separate document attached to section 13, namely Report Read-across concept Category approach for zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate).
