Value:
370.263 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Regarding absorption, in the absence of reliable data for both the starting route (oral) and the end route (inhalation), worst-case assumptions were made. It was assumed that a limited absorption occurs by the oral route, leading to a low (conservative) internal NOAEL. To secure a conservative external NOAEL, a maximum absorption should be assumed for the inhalation route (i.e.; 100%) leading to a low external NOAEL. Thus, in the case of oral-to-inhalation extrapolation, it is proposed to include a default factor of 2, i.e. the absorption percentage by oral route is half that of the inhalation absorption as suggested in ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.8 (2012).

 

To convert the oral NOAEL into inhalatory NOAEC, a rat default respiratory volume was used corresponding to the daily duration of human exposure (sRVrat: 0.38 m3/kg bw/8 h). For workers a correction was added for the difference between respiratory rates under standard conditions (sRVhuman: 6.7 m3 for an 8 h exposure period) and under conditions of light activity (wRV: 10 m3 for an 8 h exposure period).

 

The corrected dose descriptor for inhalation is determined using the following equation:

Corrected Inhalatory NOAEC = [NOAEL] X (1/SRVrat x ABS(oral-rat)/ABS(inh-human) x sRVhuman/wRV

= [300 mg/kg bw/day] X  [1/0.38 m3/kg bw/day] X [1/2] X [6.7 m3/10m3]. = 264.474 mg/m3

Correction for differences experimental/human exposure conditions

= 264.474 x Differences experimental and human exposure conditions: 1.4 (= 7 days/week / 5 days/week)

= 264.474 x 1.4

Thus, the corrected dose descriptor for inhalation is 370.263 mg/m3 for workers.

The substance is expected to be well tolerated via the acute inhalation toxicity route with no expected LC50 of < 5.0 mg/L air. Therefore, no DNEL appears required. Under EU CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, this substance is classified for skin corrosion: category 1A: H314 and eye damage: category 1: H318, therefore qualitative assessment will be performed for local dermal effects and eye effects in accordance with ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Part E (v 3.0, May 2016) and/or ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.8 (Version 2.1, November 2012).

Value:

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

For systemic hazard assessment via the dermal route of exposure, route-to-route extrapolation from the oral NOAEL value was considered appropriate. As no data on dermal penetration are available, dermal absorption is considered to be the same as oral absorption (i.e. 100 %). Therefore the oral NOAEL is used as the starting point for the dermal NOAEL (ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.8 (2012)) but modified to account for differences in experimental (oral) versus human exposure conditions (dermal).

Oral gavage in propylene glycol, vehicle : doses: 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day

 

Key Study : OECD TG 422, 2016 : Read-Across SOURCE ( Reaction products of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and diphosphorus pentaoxide ) : The study was performed according the requirements of OECD TG 422 guideline under GLP conditions. Following a previously conducted 14-day sighting study, the systemic toxic potential of the test item in Wistar rats, including a screen for reproductive/developmental effects was conducted by oral gavage administration. Males were dosed for 28 days (14 days pre-mating and 14 days mating/post-mating), and females for 14 days pre-mating, during the mating period, through gestation and until the day before the necropsy (at least 4 days post-partum dosing). Three groups each comprising at least 12 male and 12 female rats received the test substance at doses of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Parameters measured during the study included signs of morbidity and mortality twice daily, daily or detailed weekly observation of clinical signs, neurological assessment, weekly body weight and food consumption, and clinical pathology evaluation, including haematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry and urinalysis. Neurological assessment including functional observation battery (FOB) and measurements of the landing foot splay, grip strength and motor activity were performed during the last week of the treatment. At termination, necropsy with macroscopic examination was performed. Weights of selected organs were recorded and representative tissues/organs were sampled and preserved in appropriate fixatives. A detailed histological examination was performed on the selected list of retained organs in the control and High dose groups. Daily administration of the test substance at dose levels of 100 mg/kg bw/day or 300 mg/kg bw/day did not result in adverse changes in clinical signs, neurological assessment, body weight, food consumption, haematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis parameters. Test item related mortality (approximately 15%) was observed in the High dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/day) and clinical adverse effects were present in High dose females. There were no effects on surviving males/females on body weight or clinical pathology. Test item related liver changes were observed in the female High dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/day) with increased weight (approximately 12%) and centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy. However, this observation was considered to be an adaptive change and not an adverse effect of treatment. Test item related kidney weight changes were observed in the High dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/day) of both sexes (approximately 10%), but in the absence of any correlating histopathological changes, this was considered to be an adaptive response.Under the study conditions, the rat NOAEL for reproductive and development effects was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day for male/female rats. The rat NOAEL for general systemic toxicity was considered to be 300 mg/kg bw/day for male/female rats.

 

For risk assessment, NOAEL from the most sensitive endpoint was used, i.e. 300 mg/mg bw/day (starting point) from an available read-across study to an analogue source substance. Within the OECD TG 422 (2016): combined repeated oral toxicity and reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test, the following no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of 300 mg/kg bw/day for systemic toxicity was utilised.

Since there was no reported significant effects relevant to humans reported at guidance related levels (ORAL ≤ 300 mg/kg bw/day) then there is no requirement to classify STOT-RE.

DNEL derivation incorporating ECHA R.8 (2012) and noting ECHA R.15 (2016) :

Note: as first step a conservative consumer exposure duration is presumed (24 hours) see ECHA R.15 (2016)

The corrected dose descriptor for inhalation is determined using the following equation:

Corrected Inhalatory NOAEC = oral NOAEL x 1/sRVan x Diff. exp. cond. x (ABSoral,an/ABSinh,hu)

 

= [NOAEL] x [300 mg/kg bw/day] x [1/1.35 m3/kg bw/ 24h] x 1 x [1/2]

Thus, the corrected dose descriptor for inhalation is 111.111 mg/m3 for the general population.

Test item related kidney weight changes were observed in the High dose group (1000 mg/kg bw/day) of both sexes (approximately 10%), but in the absence of any correlating histopathological changes, this was considered to be an adaptive response.Under the study conditions, the rat NOAEL for reproductive and development effects was considered to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day for male/female rats. The rat NOAEL for general systemic toxicity was considered to be 300 mg/kg bw/day for male/female rats.

 

For risk assessment, NOAEL from the most sensitive endpoint was used, i.e. 300 mg/mg bw/day (starting point) from an available read-across study to an analogue source substance. Within the OECD TG 422 (2016): combined repeated oral toxicity and reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test, the following no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of 300 mg/kg bw/day for systemic toxicity was utilised.

 

Since there was no reported significant effects relevant to humans reported at guidance related levels (ORAL ≤ 300 mg/kg bw/day) then there is no requirement to classify STOT-RE.
