EC number: 232-350-7 | CAS number: 8006-64-2 Any of the volatile predominately terpenic fractions or distillates resulting from the solvent extraction of, gum collection from, or pulping of softwoods. Composed primarily of the C10H16 terpene hydrocarbons: α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, 3-carene, camphene. May contain other acyclic, monocyclic, or bicyclic terpenes, oxygenated terpenes, and anethole. Exact composition varies with refining methods and the age, location, and species of the softwood source.

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 0.018 mg/m³
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity
- Route of original study:
- By inhalation
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 50
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 5 mg/m³
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 0.89 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The DNEL for systemic effects via the inhalation route for Block 4 is determined from the inhalation NOAEC for dimethylsulfide (5 mg/m³) from the 6-month study in rats.
The following corrections were made to the starting point:
Correction for exposure duration: (6 h/d to 24 h/d) (ECHA default)
Correction for dosing frequency: 5 days/7 days (ECHA default)
Therefore the corrected NOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is:
5*(6/24)*5/7 = 0.89
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 2
- Justification:
- Default (subchronic to chronic)
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):

- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 250 mg/kg bw/day
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The DNEL for systemic effects via the oral route is determined from the oral NOAEL for dimethyl sulfide (250 mg/kg bw/day) from the 90-day study in rats. No correction of the starting point is needed.
