Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Systemic effects

Value:
1.68 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
developmental toxicity / teratogenicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
50
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
20 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
14.28 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

It is assumed, that the dermal absorption will not be higher than the oral absorption (ECHA's Guidance R.8, v2.1, Nov 2012). Therefore, the NOAEL obtained via the oral route is regarded as a worst-case staring point to determine the dermal DNEL. This NOAEL is corrected by a factor of 1.4 to account for differences in exposure conditions (5 days/week for workers and 7 days for week for animals in the test), and by a factor of 3 for differences in exposure conditions during the working day (8 hours/day vs 24 duration exposure).
DNEL = NOAEL(corrected)/overall AF = (20 mg/kg bw/d *1.4 * 3) / 50 = 1.68 mg/kg bw/d

AF for dose response relationship:

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.35 mg/L
Most sensitive endpoint:
developmental toxicity / teratogenicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
20 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
8.7 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The lowest DNEL for the general population for inhalation exposure was derived based on the developmental toxicity NOAEL from the OECD 443 performed on the substance DHDPS and was used as a starting point for the DNEL derivation.


No experimental data on absorption via inhalation route was available. Worst case assumption for absorption was: 50 % orally and 100 % by inhalation = 0.5 correction for inhalation)


1.15 m³/kg bw: default respiratory volume for the rat corresponding to the daily duration (24h) of human exposure.


NAEC (human-24h) = NOAEL * (1/1.15 m³/kg bw) * 0.5 = 20*(1/1.15) *0.5 = 8.7 mg/m3


Thus, the corrected starting point for workers is 8.7 mg/m³ for inhalation.


The DNEL is calculated considering the Assessmment factor (AF): DNEL = NOAEC(corrected)/overall AF = 8.7 mg/m3 / 25 = 0.35 mg/m3
