Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
3.2 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
1
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 mg/m³
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
3.2 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL derived from zinc compounds is the most conservative. OELs for soluble zinc compounds represented by zinc chloride are available. While a detailed scientific justification for the OELs is not available, these values have ensured workers safety for decades which correlates with the DNELs derived from the human volunteer studies. Taking a conservative approach it is proposed that for inhalation exposure, the existing OEL values are used as the respective DNEL (1 mg/m3/day). Then, a correction factor needs to be applied to take into account the difference in molecular weights between zinc and zinc methacrylate: zinc has a molecular weight of 65.38 g/mol. Zinc diacrylate has a molecular weight of 207.52 g/mol. A proportional rule is applied: DNEL inh = 1 mg Zn/m3/day x 3.2 = 3.2 mg Zinc diacrylate/m3/day.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Starting point is a NOAEL
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
1
Justification:
No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human experience through food supplementation.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human experience through food supplementation.
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human experience through food supplementation.
AF for intraspecies differences:
1
Justification:
No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human volunteer studies therefore intraspecies differences are already taken into account
