Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
2.82 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):
75
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
120 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
211.6 mg/m³
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The NOAEC is reliable. No adjustment is required.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
The NOAEC is based on an 28 day study (OECD422). AF for extrapolation from subacute to chronic (ECHA).
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Respiratory interspecies differences are fully coverd by the factors used for route to route extrapolation.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
The ECHA default value for interspecies differences is used.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
The ECHA default value for the relatively homogenous group "worker" is used.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The quality of the whole data base is considered to be sufficient and uncritical.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
The approach used for DNEL derivation is conservative. No futher assessment factors are required.
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

As the substance is not classified for acute toxicity, no DNEL derivation is necessary.

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
medium hazard (no threshold derived)
DNEL related information

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
5.6 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
300
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
120 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
other:
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 120 mg/kg bw/day

In ECHA guidance R.8 it is stated that “substance specific data on absorption via the different routes are to be preferred.” Therefore, in the present situation experimental data from a dermal toxicokinetic study was used showing up to 10 % absorption by rat skin. This is a worst case situation as rat skin is much more permeable than human skin.

Correction for difference between human and experimental exposure conditions: 7 d rat/5 d worker

Corrected NOAEL (dermal) for workers:

= 120 mg/kg bw/day/ 10 ×1.4

= 1680 mg/kg bw/day

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The NOAEC is reliable. No adjustment is required.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
The NOAEC is based on an 28 day study (OECD422). AF for extrapolation from subacute to chronic (ECHA).
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
Allometric scaling rat to human AF 4 (ECHA).
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
The default value for interspecies differences is used.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
The default value for the relatively homogenous group "worker" is used.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The quality of the whole data base is considered to be sufficient and uncritical.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
The approach used for DNEL derivation is conservative. No futher assessment factors are required.
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:

General Population - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Since no exposure is intended for the general population no DNEL (long-term, systemic) was derived.

Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

As the substance is not classified for acute toxicity, no DNEL derivation is necessary.

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
medium hazard (no threshold derived)

General Population - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - General Population

The test item was no classified and labelled regarding oral, dermal and inhalative toxicity.

Further no consumer use is intended.

Therefore no DNEL`s were derived for the general population risk assessment of Reaction mass of nonyl methacrylate and decyl methacrylate and undecyl methacrylate.
