Due to quality of the database further assessment factors are not required. Further it is acknowledged that for DNEL derivation from acute toxicity data no generally accepted methodology exists. Since in this case the LD50is actually a LD0, the abovementioned derivation is scientifically justified.

Calculation of NAEC according to guideline R.8:
NAEC (human, inhalation, acute) = (2000 mg/kg∙70 kg) / (4∙10 m3) = 3500 mg/m3

 

Calculation of DNEL (4 hours) by taking into account the remaining AFs:

3500 mg/m3/ 10 = 350 mg/m3

 

Correction for short term exposure (15 min) using modification of Haber's Law (ECHA guideline R.7a):

c = ((350 mg/m3)3∙(8.0 h / 0.25 h))1/3=1111 mg/m3

 

DNEL (acute, inhalation, systemic, worker) =1111 mg/m3

Due to quality of the database further assessment factors are not required. Further it is acknowledged that for DNEL derivation from acute toxicity data no generally accepted methodology exists. Since in this case the LD50is actually a LD0, the abovementioned derivation is scientifically justified.

General Population - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - General Population

The substance is used as a reactant for the production of a polymer in an article (diaper) and the general population would have only potential exposure to the substance when using this article. A direct exposure of the general population with this substance as such or in its polymeric matrix is practically not possible.

Since a release of the substance from the article is not intended and the substance does not fulfil the criteria of Article 57 of the REACH Regulation, the exposure of the general population by an article does not need to be evaluated according to Article 7 of the REACH Regulation.
