The major use of 1 -nitropropane is as a chemical intermediate for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, pesticides, surfactants and resins. Other uses include propellant fuel, gasoline additives, and solvents. The predominant route of occupational exposure for 1 -nitropropane is inhalation. Products containing 1 -nitropropane are not widely used by consumers.
Dermal DNELs:
Dermal DNELs for acute short-term local effects and long-term exposure local effects were not derived for 1-nitropropane. No dermal studies examining the systemic toxicity of 1-nitropropane were found. Instead a route-to-route extrapolation is used from a repeat dose oral study. No classification or labeling is required for 1-nitropropane since it is not irritating to the skin and the LD50> 2000. Pharmacokinetic studies in monkeys indicate that 1-nitropropane is poorly absorbed from the skin (< 0.5% in 12 hrs). Also, 1 -nitropropane is not readily absorbed through the skin and volatilizes quickly from the skin's surface. Therefore, no acute dermal DNELs for local effects are necessary for this compound.
The following DNELs were derived using ECETOX guidance document entitled, “Guidance on Assessment Factors to Derive DNELs” Final draft. March 17th2010

CONSUMER DNELs
