Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
1.47 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
other: ECHA Guidance (ECHA R.8, 2012) and ECETOC Technical Report No. 110
Overall assessment factor (AF):
10.2
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
15 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
26.44 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
There are no relevant experimental data on repeated exposure by inhalation. The recommended approach using oral data and assuming the same absorption for inhalation and oral route is used which is also justified by DNEL comparison with the toxicological relvant metabolite. For details, please refer to the discussion.
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The NOAEL is reliable. No adjustment is required.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
default AF 6 for extrapolation from sub-acute to chronic according to ECHA R.8 ( 2012).
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
No allometric scaling rat to humans as intraspecies adjustment is accounted for in relative breathing volumes (ECHA R.8, 2012)
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
There is no evidence for species differences in the general mode of actions or kinetics.
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
Known mode of action involving ubiquitous and non-specific enzyme systems (carboxylesterases, tricarboxylic acid cycle) and well investigated metabolites makes a lower variability likely, hence the AF of 3 is sufficiently conservative. (ECETOC, 2010)
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The key study is of high quality, being rated K1. No adjustment is required.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No remaining uncertainties.

Given a rapid hydrolysis of AMA to its primary metabolites, a comparison of the DNELs of the (parent) substance and the primary metabolites on molar basis show that

-       Allyl alcohol is the toxicological relevant metabolite (as indicated by lower DNEL levels)

-       The hazard levels of AMA is calculated with a suitable margin of safety (as indicated by lower or equal DNEL levels of AMA vs. those of the metabolites, where available)
