Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
12 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):
5
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
34 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
60 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No data were available for HEDP acid. Therefore, DNELs were based on data for HEDP sodium salts.

A corrected inhalatory NOAEC rat was calculated on the basis of the oral NOAEL rat (34 mg/kg bw/day) by using a default respiratory volume for the rat corresponding to the daily duration of human exposure (sRVrat; see ECHA Guidance R.8. 2012).

The NOAEL for HEDP-2Na (41 mg/kg bw/d) is equivalent to 34 mg active acid/kg bw/day.

The following correction was made to the NOAEL (oral): Correction respiratory volume rat (8 hour) 1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day, Correction for respiratory volume (worker): 6.7 m³/10 m³. Correction for oral to inhaled (1/2) is not required as there are toxicokinetic data for absorption following oral and inhalation exposure, which support a conservative absortion of 5%. Therefore the corrected NOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 34*(1/0.38) *(6.7 m³/10 m³) = 60.0 mg/m³.

AF for differences in duration of exposure:

Justification:

AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Default assessment factor for interspecies local/systemic effects by inhalation
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
Based on anaemia observed in repeated dose toxicity studies. The DNELs derived are precautionary and the AF used may be overcautious. Based on that the AF for other interspecies differences is reduced to 1.

DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:

Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
10
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
340 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No data were available for HEDP acid. Therefore, DNELs were based on data for HEDP sodium salts.

The NOAEL (oral) for HEDP-2Na (41 mg/kg bw/d) is equivalent to 34 mg active acid/kg bw/day. For dermal exposure, an absorption of 0.5% was assumed (see chapter toxicokinetics). The starting point is therefore increased by a factor of 10 for the dermal route.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
1
Justification:
Chronic oral study
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
2
Justification:
The mode of action is physicochemical (complexation of metals) and should be irrespective of species. Therefore the proposed assessment factor for interspecies differences is only 2.
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
Based on anaemia observed in repeated dose toxicity studies. The DNELs derived are precautionary and the AF used may be overcautious. Based on that the AF for other interspecies differences is reduced to 1.

Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:

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

No data were available for HEDP acid. Therefore, DNELs were based on data for HEDP sodium salts.

A corrected inhalatory NOAEC rat was calculated on the basis of the oral NOAEL rat (34 mg/kg bw/day) by using a default respiratory volume for the rat corresponding to the daily duration of human exposure (sRVrat; see ECHA Guidance R.8. 2012).

The NOAEL for HEDP-2Na (41 mg/kg bw/d) is equivalent to 34 mg active acid/kg bw/day.

The following correction was made to the NOAEL (oral): Correction respiratory volume rat (24 hour) 1/1.15 m³/kg bw. Correction for oral to inhaled (1/2) is not required as there are toxicokinetic data for absorption following oral and inhalation exposure, which support a conservative absorption of 5%.

Therefore the corrected NOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 34*(1/1.15) = 29.56 mg/m³.
