Workers
Chapter 8 of the reach TGD (Appendix R.8 -8) indicates that acute exposure DNEL values are not normally required. Additionally, the lack of acute oral or dermal toxicity for a principal metabolite (1,4 -cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid; CHDA) would indicate that DMCD is non-hazardous under acute exposure scenarios. It is assumed also that there will be no acute or ling-term oral exposures to DMCD in worker populations. Eye and respiratory irritation thresholds are assumed to exceed thresholds for chronic systemic effects.
Long-term inhalation, systemic
A 14 -week repeat dose oral toxicity study using CHDA gave a NOEL of 100 mg/kg. Using CHDA data to read-across to DMCD, and extrapolating from subchronic oral toxicity to chronic inhalation, the NOEL first must be converted to mg/m3 by dividing by a factor of 0.38, and then corrected for oral bioavailability (50%) by multiplying by a factor of 2. Further corrections are then necessary to convert from the 6 hour daily exposure to an 8 hour per day exposure (0.75), correction for 7-day experimental exposure to 5-day work week (1.4) and to adjusted for respiration for light work (0.67). ECETOC Assessment factors were applied, which consisted of subchronic to chronic studies (2), for intraspecies (3), for interspecies (4), for a total of 24.
- Converting mg/kg to mg/m3 = 100/0.38 = 263.16 mg/m3
- Correcting for oral bioavailability = 263.16*2 = 526.32 mg/m3
- Correcting for 7-day experimental exposure to 5-day work week, and light work= 526.32 mg/m3* (1.4) *(0.67) = 493.69 mg/m3
- Application of adjustment factors: 493.69 mg/m3/24 =20.57 mg/m3
Long-term dermal, systemic
A 14 -week repeat dose oral toxicity study using CHDA gave a NOEL of 100 mg/kg. Using CHDA data to read-across to DMCD, and extrapolating from subchronic oral toxicity to chronic dermal, theNOEL first must be corrected to convert from the 6 hour daily exposure to an 8 hour per day exposure (0.75), and correction for 7-day experimental exposure to 5-day work week (1.4) and to adjusted for respiration for light work (0.67). ECETOC Assessment factors were applied, which consisted of subchronic to chronic studies (2), for intraspecies (3), for interspecies (4), for a total of 24.
- Correcting for 7-day experimental exposure to 5-day work week, and light work = 100 mg/kg*(1.4)*(0.67) = 92.96 mg/kg
- Application of adjustment factors: 92.96 mg/kg/24 = 3.87 mg/kg

General Population
Chapter 8 of the reach TGD (Appendix R.8 -8) indicates that acute exposure DNEL values are not normally required. Additionally, the lack of acute oral or dermal toxicity for a principal metabolite (1,4 -cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid; CHDA) would indicate that DMCD is non-hazardous under acute exposure scenarios. It is assumed also that there will be no acute oral exposures to DMCD in general populations. Eye and respiratory irritation thresholds are assumed to exceed thresholds for chronic systemic effects.
Long-term inhalation, systemic
A 14 -week repeat dose oral toxicity study using CHDA gave a NOEL of 100 mg/kg. Using these data to read-across to DMCD, and extrapolating from subchronic oral toxicity to chronic inhalation, theNOEL first must be converted to mg/m3by dividing by a factor of 1.15, and then corrected for oral bioavailability (50%) by multiplying by a factor of 2. ECETOC Assessment factors were applied, which consisted of subchronic to chronic studies (2), for intraspecies (5), for interspecies (4), for a total of 40.
- Converting mg/kg to mg/m3= 100/1.15 = 86.96 mg/m3
- Correcting for oral bioavailability = 86.96*2 = 173.91 mg/m3
- Application of adjustment factors – 173.91 mg/m3/40 = 4.35 mg/m3
Long-term dermal, systemic
A 14 -week repeat dose oral toxicity study using CHDA gave a NOEL of 100 mg/kg. These data were used to read-across to DMCD. ECETOC Assessment factors were applied, which consisted of subchronic to chronic studies (2), for intraspecies (5), for interspecies (4), for a total of 40.
