Toxicokinetics

Cresols can penetrate deeply into tissues that are exposed. After Cresols are absorbed, most of the chemical is metabolized by the liver and either the metabolites or the unchanged chemical are excreted by the kidney with trace amounts excreted via the lungs. In vivo, the Cresol isomers are conjugated and excreted as glucuronides and sulfates. Significant amounts of Cresols are secreted in the bile and undergo enterohepatic recirculation. The kidney is the main route for removing cresols. There are no reports that suggest bio-accumulation of cresol within the living system.

 

Acute toxicity

As per the end point results the substance, chlorocresol is considered to be non toxic via Oral, inhalation and dermal route.

Irritation / corrosion

Based on the end point studies it can be concluded that the substance Chlorocresol is irritant to skin and irritating to eye.Since the substance has harmonized classification and as per classification, chlorocresol is not a skin irritant but cause eye damage . Hence it can be concluded that the substance is not a skin irritant but cause eye irritation and hence classified as eye damage 1 category for the pupose of chemical safety assessment.

 

Sensitisation

The test reports of patch test skin sites were studied which indicate that chlorocresol is found to be the sensitizers and so chlorocresol classified as skin sensitiser in category 1.

DNEL derivation

 

Chlorocresol is non acute toxic to dermal oral and inhalation route, shows irritation effect to skin and eye, is not genotoxic and is not a developmental or reproductive toxin.

 

In the absence of local effects following short-term or long-term exposure, no dose-response data are available and a quantitative dose descriptor is not derived. DNEL values for local exposure are therefore not calculated.

 

In the absence of acute systemic toxicity, no dose-response data are available and a quantitative dose descriptor is not derived. DNEL values for acute systemic effects are therefore not calculated.

 

A standard approach to deriving DNEL values would be to use the reproductive toxicity dataset and apply assessment factors as described in ECHA guidance documents. The critical endpoint is considered to be the NOAEL of 428 mg/kg bw/d in oral category.
