Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
78 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):
25
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 945 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for repeated dose effects via the inhalation route is determined on the basis of the 90-day inhalation study. In this study a NOAEC of 3870 mg/m³ was derived based on adverse effects on the liver.  NOAEC: 3870 mg/m³ The following correction was made to the NOAEC: Correction for exposure duration: 6 h/8 h (default for workers). Correction for respiratory rate and volume (human worker): (6.7 m³/d/10 m³/d) (default) Therefore the corrected NOAEC for the inhalation route is: 3870*(6/8)*(6.7 m³/d /10 m³/d) = 1945 mg/m³.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
1 103 mg/kg bw/day
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):
100
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
110 300 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for repeated dose effects via the dermal route is determined on the basis of route-to-route extrapolation from the 90-day inhalation study. In this study a NOAEC of 3870 mg/m³ was derived based on adverse effects on the liver. The following correction was made to the NOAEC(inhalation) to derive a NOAEL(dermal): Correction for exposure duration: 6h / 8h (default for workers) Correction for respiratory volume: 0.38 m³/kg (default, rat, 8 hour). Therefore, the corrected NOAEL for effects via the dermal route is: 3870*(6/8)*0.38 = 1103 mg/kg bw/day. In practice, the dermal absorption of this substance is very limited. A further correction for the known dermal absorption of 1% has been made, with the additional factor of 100: 1103 mg/kg bw/day x 100 = 110300 mg/kg bw/day

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:

Additional information - workers

Short-term high exposures are considered unlikely given the high levels of control in place at sites producing and using the substance. DNELs for long-term exposure are therefore adequate to protect against short-term exposures and no separate short-term DNELs are calculated.

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route

NOAEC
Value:

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for repeated dose effects via the inhalation route is determined on the basis of the 90-day inhalation study. In this study a NOAEC of 3870 mg/m³ was derived based on adverse effects on the liver.  NOAEC: 3870 mg/m³ The following correction was made to the LOAEC: Correction for exposure duration: 6/24 (default for consumers) Therefore the corrected NOAEC for effects via the inhalation route is: 3870 mg/m³*(6/24) = 968 mg/m³.

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for repeated dose effects via the dermal route is determined on the basis of route-to-route extrapolation from the 90-day inhalation study. In this study a NOAEC of 3870 mg/m3 was derived based on adverse effects on the liver. The following correction was made to the NOAEC(inhalation) to derive a NOAEL(dermal): Correction for exposure duration: 6h / 24h (default for consumers) Correction for respiratory volume: 1.15 m³/kg (default, rat). Therefore the corrected NOAEL for effects via the dermal route is: 3870*(6/24)*1.15 = 1113 mg/kg bw/day. In practice, the dermal absorption for this substance is very limited. A further correction for the known dermal absorption of 1% has been made, with the additional factor of 100: 1113 mg/kg bw/day x 100 = 111300 mg/kg bw/day
