- Route of original study:
- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 12.5
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 100 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 246.8 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The long-term DNEL for systemic effects via the inhalation route is determined on the basis of the OECD 421 DRF oral NOAEL on the registration substance itself.
To correct the interspecies difference between rat and human the no observed effect level has to be corrected as follows:
Corrected starting point for the inhalative route for workers:
= NOAEL(oral) * (1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day) * (ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human) * 6.7 m³ (8h) /10 m³ (8h)* (7 days exposure rat/5 days exposure worker)
= 100 mg/kg bw/day * (1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day) * (1/1) * 0.67 m³ * 1.4 = 246.8 mg/m³
In contrast to the recommendations of the ECHA Guidance, a factor of 1 (equal absorption of 100% assumed for the oral and the inhalative route for animals and humans) was included for the extrapolation from oral to inhalation absorption, as there is no valid data suggesting that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion (recommendation of the VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008). Molecules with a molecular weight <500 and a log Kow between 0 and 4 can be assumed to be well absorbed equivalently by the oral and inhalation route. Oral absorption may be reduced for acids and bases depending on their pKa value and their electric charge in the GI tract. More lipophilic substances may be better absorbed in the GI tract due to solubilisation with bile acids, and thus oral absorption may be higher than inhalation absorption (VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008). Unless valid data suggest that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion, equal absorption will be assumed when extrapolating from oral to inhalation route.
(ABSoral-rat = oral absorption in rats, ABSinh-human = inhalation absorption rate in humans)

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The long-term DNEL for systemic effects via the dermal route is determined on the basis of the OECD 421 DRF oral NOAEL on the registration substance itself.
Corrected starting point for the dermal route for workers:
Dermal NOAEL = oral NOAEL*ABS(oral)/ABS(dermal) * (7 days exposure rat / 5 days exposure worker) = 100 mg/kg bw/day *(1/1) * (7/5) = 140 mg/kg bw/day. It is assumed that oral and dermal absorption rates are equal.

- Value:
- 87 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The long-term DNEL for systemic effects via the inhalation route is determined on the basis of the OECD 421 DRF NOAEL on the registration substance itself.
Corrected starting point for the inhalative route for general population:
= NOAELoral * (1/1.15 m³/kg bw/day (24h)) * (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human)
= 100 mg/kg bw/day * (1/1.15 m³/kg bw/day) * (1/1) = 87 mg/m³
In contrast to the recommendations of the ECHA Guidance, a factor of 1 (equal absorption of 100% assumed for the oral and the inhalative route for animals and humans) was included for the extrapolation from oral to inhalation absorption, as there is no valid data suggesting that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion (recommendation of the VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008). Molecules with a molecular weight <500 and a log Kow between 0 and 4 can be assumed to be well absorbed equivalently by the oral and inhalation route. Oral absorption may be reduced for acids and bases depending on their pKa value and their electric charge in the GI tract. More lipophilic substances may be better absorbed in the GI tract due to solubilisation with bile acids, and thus oral absorption may be higher than inhalation absorption (VCI Working group "Toxicology", 2008). Unless valid data suggest that inhalation leads to higher absorption than oral ingestion, equal absorption will be assumed when extrapolating from oral to inhalation route.
(ABSoral-rat = oral absorption in rats, ABSinh-human = inhalation absorption rate in humans)
Thus, the corrected starting point for general population was 87 mg/m³ for inhalation.
