Toxicological Summary
Administrative data
Workers - Hazard via inhalation route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 19.591 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):
- 18
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 400 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 352.632 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The DNEL for inhalation exposure for workers is given by the formula: corrected inhalation NOAEC= NOAEL(oral-rat)* 1/sRVrat * (Absorption (oral-rat)/Absorption(inhal-human))* (sRVhuman/wRV) Where SRV is the standard Respiratory Volume and wRV is the worker Respiratory Volume. The default values assumed for these factors are as follows: Absorption(oral-rat)=50%; Absorption(inhal-human) =100%; sRVrat=0.38 m3/kg/d; sRVhuman= 6.7m3 (8hr); wRV=10m3(8hr). NOAEC(corrected)= 400 mg/kg bw/day* (1/0.38 m3/kg/d)*(50%/100%)* 6.7m3 (8hr)/ 10m3(8hr) NOAEC(corrected)= 352.632 mg/m3
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- A NOAEL of 400mg/kg derived from the 28 day repeat dose study is being selected as the point of departure so factor of 1 used
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 6
- Justification:
- ECHA guidance document Chapter R8, in Appendix R.8-12, indicates that DNELS derived using a NOAEL from a 28-day study are derived using an assessment factor of 6 for extrapolation of the study duration to chronic exposure.)
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- In the absence of dermal absorption data, equivalence is assumed. A default allometric scaling factor of 4 between rats and humans is applied based on ECHA guidance for allometric scaling of data from rats to humans. This is already accounted for in the modification of the dose descriptor starting point.)
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 1
- Justification:
- (ECETOC reported in 2010 after an extensive review (see discussion) that there is no justification for the suggested additional factor of 2.5 for this, therefore a factor of 1 has been applied)
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 3
- Justification:
- (ECETOC reported in 2010 after an extensive scientific review that the appropriate fact for intraspecies differences for workers is 3 and not 5 as ECHA proposed. See discussion for detailed justification.)
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 1
- Justification:
- A full Annex VIII dataset is available for this substance, including a combined 28 day/reproductive screening study.
- AF for remaining uncertainties:
- 1
- Justification:
- uncertainties are already included so a factor of 1 is applied

- Route of original study:

DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 72
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 400 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 400 mg/kg bw/day
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The value selected is the lowest NOAEL, derived from the OECD 422 Combined Repeat Dose and Reproduction/Development toxicity screening study.
Its relatively low water solubility and molecular weight of 577 indicates that the substance may be not be absorbed readily. The substance is non-irritating to the skin and non-corrosive in animal studies therefore if inhaled effects would be expected to be minimum and limited to local irritation effects, systemic effects are not expected. Based on the conditions of use and qualitative risk assessment it is considered not necessary to establish a DNEL for acute effects from inhalation exposure. As a conservative value 100% absorption is assumed.
