Executive summary:

The toxicokinetic assessment is based on the available physico-chemical properties and toxicological data of the substance.

According to REACH Guidance R.7C, the molecular weights around 500 of the main constituents DPHA and DPPA (578 and 524) are favourable for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Also, the log partition coefficients of these constituents (3.44 – 2.43) suggest that they will dissolve into the gastrointestinal fluid and be absorbed by passive diffusion. Only their water solubility (6 - 80 mg/L) is a limiting factor for absorption. On this basis, oral absorption was set at 100% for risk assessment purposes. In the gastro-intestinal tract, absorbed substance will be metabolized. Excretion of the substance and its metabolites will occur via bile (high molecular weight) or urine (low molecular weight).

Based on its low vapour pressure (4.28 x 10^-8Pa at 25°C),exposure via inhalation will not be significant under ambient conditions but may occur in situations where the substance is aerosolized during use or handling (e.g. spraying).

According to the criteria given in the REACH Guidance, 10% dermal absorption will be considered in the case of a molecular weight > 500 g/mol and a log Kow < -1 or > 4, otherwise 50% dermal absorption should be proposed. Given the physico-chemical characteristics of the main constituents DPHA and DPPA, a dermal absorption of 50% was therefore considered for risk assessment purposes.

Given the presently available data, no additional conclusions can be drawn on the distribution, metabolism and excretion of DPHA after dermal and inhalation absorption.
