Dilithium azelate

Acute Toxicity: inhalation

Administrative data

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: inhalation

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size

Justification for type of information:

The lithium salts of dicarboxylic salts C6 - C10 have vapour pressures of <1.3 x 10(-8) Pa at 20°C and are exclusively manufactured in situ in base oil and not in isolated form, so the potential for the generation of inhalable forms is low. Also the use of the grease forms will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be unlikely to occur.
