Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on absorption:
radio labelled tetradecane and naphthalene were absorbed at 5% and 12% respecively from neat kerosine. For a 25% dilution in mineral oil the compartaive absorption was 7 and 14%
Details on distribution in tissues:
radio labelled naphthalene was found inn urine and to a much lesser extent in faeces and tissues.
radio labelled tetradecane was found in expired air and to a lesser extent in urine, faeces and tissues.

In the study with dermally applied undiluted test material approximately 5% of the labelled tetradecane and 15% of the labelled naphthalene was absorbed over 96 hours.
In the study with the 25% concentration of test material, approximately
 7% of the labelled tetradecane and 16% of the labelled naphthalene was absorbed over 96 hours.

In the passive inhalation study approximately 2.8% (undiluted test
 material) and 1.8% (25% concentration) of the labelled naphthalene was available.  In contrast, approximately 0.2% of labelled tetradecane in undiluted and diluted test material was absorbed.

These studies demonstrate that dilution of the test material in mineral
 oil did not influence absorption of the radiolabelled "spikes" present.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): low bioaccumulation potential based on study results
radio labelled tetradecane and naphthalene (as surrogates for aliphaltic and aromatic constituents) were absorbed through the skin following dermal application of kerosine. Excretion was via urine and expired air and there was little evidnec of tissue accumulation.
Executive summary:

Topical application of radiolabelled kerosine (C14 tetradecane and naphthalene) in mice resulted in low levels of dermal uptake. Absorbed material was excreted in urine and expired air and there was little evidence of tissue accumulation.
