Additional information - workers

Workers

Humans differ in sensitivity due to a number of biological factors (such as age, gender, genetic composition and nutritional status). The intraspecies variation in humans is greater than in the more homogeneous experimental animal population

The data from animal studies are the starting point for risk characterisation.The default assumption in general is that humans are more sensitive than experimental animals.The traditional default AF(Assessment factor) suggested for interspecies extrapolation is 5 for workers and 10 for general population should be applied to the concentration/dose descriptor.

A lower default factor is generally suggested for the worker population, because the very young and very old are not part of this population.

To cover theintra-speciesvariation, the default AF(Assessment factor)of5for workers was applied to the concentration/dose descriptor(NOAEL or NOAEC).

 

The dose descriptor for dermal irritation/corrosion come from dermal acute study. In this study, the dose is reported in the unit mg/kg of body weight/day. This needs to be modified to enable comparison with the human exposure, generally expressed in mg/cm2/day.

We have taken that:

• the average weight of rats is 250g (200-300g), and the average weight of New Zealand White rabbit is 2.4kg used by Lansdown,1973.

• the dose is applied over an area which is approximately 10% of the total body surface, and

• the total body surface of rats is on the average 445 cm2  (363 to 527 cm2) and 1270 cm2of New Zealand White rabbit

used by Lansdown,1973.

 

 

The generic modification from the NOAELtest(in mg/kg of body weight) to NOAELmodified(in mg/cm2/day) will be

NOAELtest* 2.4/127= NOAELmodified

The highest dose not causing irritation/corrosion was 233.5 mg/kg bw in the acute study of Lansdown,1973, the modified dose descriptor would be

233.5 mg/kg*2.4kg/127cm2=4.41mg/cm2

 

Dermal exposure:

No studies were located regarding local effects in animals after dermal exposure to various forms of aluminium.

For dermal exposure we taken that:

-the average weight of rats is 250g (200-300g),

-the dose is applied over an area which is approximately 10% of the total body surface=0.025 kg

corrected dermal NOAEL= oral NOAEL

342 mg/kg bw/day 0.025 kg = NOAELrat 8.55mg/kg bw/day

 

No studies were located regarding long term exposure systemic effects in animals after dermal exposure to various forms of Aluminium.

For dermal exposure we taken that:

-the average weight of rats is 250g (200-300g),

-the dose is applied over an area which is approximately 10% of the total body surface=0.025 kg

corrected dermal NOAEL= oral NOAEL
