Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
hazard unknown (no further information necessary)
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
hazard unknown (no further information necessary)
DNEL related information

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.04 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor:
LOAEC
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Identical local effects assumed in monkeys and humans.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
1
Justification:
Chronic study available.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Not applicable to local effects that are not dependent on metabolic rate or systemic absorption.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
For effects on the respiratory tract, even when the mechanism indicates simple destruction of membranes due to a physico-chemical effect such as pH, it is prudent to assume humans will be more sensitive than animals.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
Defaut value (worker) assigned because information on intraspecies variation for local (concentration-dependent) effects is scarce and ECHA guidance makes no attempt to refine dafault intraspecies factors considered appropriate for systemic effects.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
2
Justification:
An increased assessment factor is considered sensible despite the multi-constituent substance comprising > 80 % sulphuric acid because underlying data is taken from published literature to prevent unnecessary exposure of vertebrate animals to a substance that is designed to be highly corrosive.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
An increased assessment factor is considered unnecessary because the multi-constituent substance consists of > 80 % sulphuric acid and route specific data are available.

Additional information - General Population

The multi-constituent test material is designed to be highly corrosive and is used under industrial conditions where strict risk managment measures and a high standard of training may be assumed. No exposure is predicted via the dermal route under normal operating conditions but a long-term local DNEL has been derived to address the small possibility of local effects following prolonged exposure via the inhalation route.
