Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
2.94 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
75
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
250 mg/m³
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
220.4 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Due to lack of repeated dose toxicity data by the inhalation route, a route to route extrapolation was performed. The NOAEL (oral) is converted into a NOAEC (corrected) in accordance to guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, ECHA, May 2008. The NOAEL (oral) has to be divided by a factor of 0.38 m³/kg body weight and corrected for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers compared to workers in rest (6.7 m³/10 m³). In addition, a default factor of 2 is applied to account for differences in oral and inhalative absorption properties. The corrected starting point is therefore:

NOAEC (corrected) = 250 mg/kg / 0.38 m³/kg x 0.5 x (6.7 m³/10m³) = 220.4 mg/m³

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:

6
Justification:

Justification:
Allometric scaling is part of the route to route extrapolation

Justification:
standard factor for worker
AF for the quality of the whole database:

NOAEL
Value:
250 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The dermal route is typically covered by oral route information in the absence of data for this administration route. Since no data on skin penetration is available a worst case approach was chosen and an absorption of 100% is assumed.

Identification of relevant dose descriptor

For the derivation of the DNELs, the 28-day repeated dose toxicity study in rats was qualified as the most relevant study. The dose descriptor chosen was the NOAEL of 250 mg/kg/day.

Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
108.5 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Because no inhalation study is available, a route to route extrapolation was performed. The NOAEL (oral) has to be modified into a NOAEC (corrected) in accordance to guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, ECHA, May 2008. Here, the NOAEL has to be divided by a factor of 1.15 m³/kg body weight. In addition, a default factor of 2 is applied to account for differences in oral and inhalative absorption properties. The corrected starting point is therefore:

NOAEC (corrected) = 250 mg/kg / 1.15 m³/kg x 0.5 = 108.5 mg/m³

Identification of relevant dose descriptor

The dose descriptor chosen is the same as for workers (see above). The NOAEL of 250 mg/kg observed in the 28-day repeated dose toxicity study in rats was used as starting point to derive the DNELs.
