Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

A 28 d and a 90 d repeated dose oral toxicity study as well as studies on toxicity to reproduction with rats and rabbits with the test substance are available. The liver was identified as the target organ. A NOAEL of 2 mg/kg bw was identified as the NOAEL for subchronic exposure. The substance is a potent peroxisome proliferator in rats. It is not genotoxic.

For effects observed in the reproductive toxicity studies, the same or higher NOELs were established. The relevant period was covered, so no correction factor for study duration is needed for these endpoints. The DNEL derived from the repeated dose toxicity is lowest and gives adequate safety for the other endpoints.

In order to adjust for inhalation, modifications have to be made for workers. Factors were applied to adjust for human respiratory conditions as well as duration of exposure. An assessment factor of 1 was used for differences in absorption between oral and inhalative route. Further conversion factors were used as advised in the ECHA-guidance Chapter R. 8: Conversion of oral dose to corresponding air concentration: 1/0.38; Correction for respiratory volume under light activity: 6.7/10.

Corrected starting point (worker): 2 mg/kg bw/day x 1/0.38 m3/kg bw/d x 6.7 m3 (8h)/10 m3 (8h) = 3.5 mg/m3

Additional information - General Population

In order to adjust for inhalation, modifications have to be made for the general population. Factors were applied to adjust for human respiratory conditions as well as duration of exposure. An assessment factor of 1 was used for differences in absorption between oral and inhalative route. Further conversion factors were used as advised in the ECHA-guidance Chapter R. 8: Conversion of oral dose to corresponding air concentration: 1/0.38; Correction for respiratory volume under light activity: 6.7/10.

Corrected starting point (general population): 2 mg/kg bow/day x 1/1.15 m3/kg bw/d = 1.7 mg/m3
