DNEL derivation for Worker:

 

Inhalation route:

The DNEL for long-term inhalative exposure was derived from the NOAEL value (300mg/kg bw/d) from a 90 d repeated dose oral study in rats (BASF SE 2017) using route-to-route extrapolation. No adverse effects were observed up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/d for females whereas for males a NOAEL of 300mg/kg bw/d was derived based on slight effects. However, as a NOAEL value of 300 mg/kg bw/d in males is reflecting the highest value in repeated dose studies this value was used as a worst case assumption for risk assessment.

This value which was taken as relevant dose descriptor for long-term toxicity was modified in order to get the correct starting point for DNEL derivation:

According to RIP R.8 (ECHA, May 2008, Example R.8 -1, p. 65), the oral rat NOAEL was converted into the NAEC corrected for human inhalation-exposure conditions [1/standard Respiratory Volume (rat) for 8 h exposure, respiratory volume adapted for a worker with light activity] by multiplying with the corresponding factors (x 1/0.38 x 0.67). A default correction factor of 1 was used for Absorption (oral-rat)/Absorption (inhalation-human). The resulting corrected NAEC-worker (8h) for systemic effects was equal to 529 mg/m3/d.

Then the overall assessment factors were calculated based on recommendations given in ECETOC TR 86 (ECETOC, Feb 2003):

NAEC

529 mg/m3/d

DNEL

---

Thus, the DNEL for long-term exposure was calculated to be NAEC/AF = 88 mg/m3.

The substance has an extremely low vapour pressure (0.000000284 Pa at 20°C). Therefore inhalation exposure to the vapor is not expected as the vapor saturation concentration is below 0.01 µg/m3. This concentration is well below the DNEL calculated by route-to-route extrapolation.

 

 

Dermal route:

The DNEL for long-term dermal exposure was derived from the NOAEL value (300mg/kg bw/d) from a 90 d repeated dose oral study in rats (BASF SE 2017) using route-to-route extrapolation. No adverse effects were observed up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/d for females whereas for males a NOAEL of 300mg/kg bw/d was derived based on slight effects. However, as a NOAEL value of 300 mg/kg bw/d in males is reflecting the highest value in repeated dose studies this value was used as a worst case assumption for risk assessment.

This value which was taken as relevant dose descriptor for long-term toxicity was modified in order to get the correct starting point for DNEL derivation:

According to RIP R.8 (ECHA, May 2008, p. 69), the oral rat NOAEL was converted into the NAEL corrected for human dermal exposure conditions by applying the factor for Absorption (oral-rat)/Absorption (dermal-human). A default correction factor of 2 was used for Absorption (oral-rat)/Absorption (dermal-human) as a very low dermal absorption potential is assumed. The resulting corrected NAEL-worker for systemic effects was equal to 600 mg/kg bw/d.

Then the overall assessment factors were calculated based on recommendations given in ECETOC TR 86 (ECETOC, Feb 2003):

DNEL derivation for General population:

 

Oral route:

The DNEL for long-term oral exposure was derived from the NOAEL value (300mg/kg bw/d) from a 90 d repeated dose oral study in rats (BASF SE 2017) using route-to-route extrapolation. No adverse effects were observed up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/d for females whereas for males a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/d was derived based on slight effects. However, as a NOAEL value of 300 mg/kg bw/d in males is reflecting the highest value in repeated dose studies this value was used as a worst case assumption for risk assessment. 

Then the overall assessment factor was calculated based on the recommendations given in ECETOC TR 86 (ECETOC, Feb 2003):

According to RIP R.8 (ECHA, May 2008, Example R.8 -1, p. 64), the oral rat NOAEL was converted into the NAEC corrected for human inhalation-exposure conditions of consumers (dividing by a factor of 1.15 m3/kg bw). The resulting corrected NAEC-worker (24h) for systemic effects was equal to 261 mg/m3/d.

Then the overall assessment factor was calculated based on the recommendations given in ECETOC TR 86 (ECETOC, Feb 2003):

The resulting corrected NAEL general public for systemic effects was equal to 600 mg/kg bw/d.
