The long-term inhalation DNEL for systemic effects is derived from the subchronic (90-day) oral: gavage toxicity study conducted with the substance LE097 resulting in a NOAEL 200 mg/kg bw/day. Route-to-route (oral-inhalation) extrapolation was performed. The calculated DNEL is 7.05 mg/m³, applying the assessment factor of 25.

The acute/short term inhalation DNEL for systemic effects was not assessed based on 1.2 Weight of evidence chapter of Annex XI, Regulation (EC) 1907/2006. First of all, the substance exerts no systemic oral or dermal acute toxicity. In addition, LE097 has a low vapour pressure of 0.25 Pa at 25°C, which corresponds to 0.25 Pa / 101325 Pa x 10e6 ppm = 2.47 ppm saturated vapour pressure corresponding to 47 mg/m³ or 0.047 mg/L (with a molecular weight of ca. 461 g/mol). Thus an acute 4-hour inhalation study would either be carried out at 0.047 mg/L vapour or at the limit dose of 5 mg/L aerosol. Assuming a very conservative value of 100% bioavailability, a rat would receive a systemic dose of 0.8 L/min/kg x 240 min x 5 mg/L aerosol = 960 mg/kg. Since the acute oral and dermal LD50 were 2 times higher than calculated dose value for aerosol inhalation, it is considered unlikely that mortality would be observed in an acute inhalation study. Therefore the hazard was qualified to be not present.

The long-term and acute/short term inhalation DNEL for local effects was not assessed, since no quantitative NOAEL could be identified. Low hazard for this endpoint was suggested based on ECHA Practical Guide 15 and skin irritation study, where LE097 is classified as irritating substance of category 2.

 

The long-term dermal DNEL for systemic effects is derived also on the basis of the subchronic (90-day) oral: gavage toxicity study. For the route-to-route extrapolation it was assumed that oral and dermal absorption in the rat are equal to human oral and dermal absorption. The calculated DNEL is 2 mg/kg bw/day, applying the assessment factor of 100.

The acute/short term dermal DNEL for systemic effects was not assessed, since no quantitative NOAEL could be identified. The substance showed relatively low acute dermal toxicity (LD > 2000 mg/kg bw), therefore the hazard was qualified to be not present based on ECHA Practical Guide 15.

 

The long term and acute/short term dermal DNEL for local effects was not assessed, since no quantitative NOAEL could be identified. Low hazard for this endpoint was suggested based on ECHA Practical Guide 15 and skin irritation study, where LE097 is classified as irritating substance of category 2.

No hazard for the eyes was identified, since in a reliable eye irritation study (OECD TG 405) the substance LE097 is not irritating in rabbit eye.
