Workers - Hazard via inhalation route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 6.58 mg/m³
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- effect on fertility
- Route of original study:
- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- other:
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 37.5
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 200 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 247 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Default (DNEL calculator)
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- Default (DNEL calculator)
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 1
- Justification:

- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):

- AF for other interspecies differences:

- Justification:

- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 5
- Justification:
- Default (DNEL calculator)
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 3
- Justification:
- The predicted NOAEL value for Maltol is derived from a read-across study of Ethyl Maltol (RL2). The default assessment factor of 1 is increased to 3 in the DNEL derivation to account for uncertainty in the quality of the whole database, based on the available oral (diet) one generation reproductive toxicity/combined chronic toxicity & carcinogenicity study and supporting toxicokinetic data. This modification should be sufficient to account for any uncertainty. The overall quality of the database is medium.
