Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
24.25 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):
12.5
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
122.8 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
303.1 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The calculation of the DNEL is based on an oral NOAEL observed in male and female animals in a sub-chronic oral repeated dose toxicity study in rats (OECD 408) with the structural analogue substance melamine. The NOAEL (72 mg/kg bw/day) found for melamine was corrected for the test substance by molecular weight (corrected NOAEL = 122.8 mg/kg bw/day) as melamine is the toxic species in the test substance. To correct the interspecies difference between rat and human the NOAEL has to be corrected as follows:

Corrected inhal NOAEC = NOAEL(oral) × (1 ÷ sRVrat) × (ABSoral-rat ÷ ABSinh-human) × (sRVhuman ÷ wRV) × (days of exposure in the study ÷ days of exposure worker)

= 122.8 mg/kg bw/day × (1 ÷ 0.38 m³/kg bw) × (1 ÷ 1) × (6.7 m³ ÷ 10 m³) × (7 days ÷ 5 days) = 303.1 mg/m³

sRV = standard respiratory volume; wRV = respiratory volume light activity for worker (8 h); ABS = absorption

No adjustment is made for oral /inhalation absorption. The oral route is considered the most favourable one for uptake because melaminephosphate disintegrates to melamine and phosphate in stomach acid.

Thus, the corrected starting point for workers is 303.1 mg/m³ for inhalation.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The dose descriptor starting point is based on a NOAEL.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
1
Justification:
The DNEL is based on the NOAEL of a sub-chronic study. Since the chronic study did not reveal a lower NOAEL but was even higher no AF is considered.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
AF not used for inhalation route.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Default value according to ECHA REACH Guidance.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
Default value for workers according to ECHA REACH Guidance.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The DNEL is based on a high-quality study.

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The calculation of the DNEL is based on an oral NOAEL observed in male and female animals in a sub-chronic oral repeated dose toxicity study in rats (OECD 408) with the structural analogue substance melamine. The NOAEL (72 mg/kg bw/day) found for melamine was corrected for the test substance by molecular weight (corrected NOAEL = 122.8 mg/kg bw/day) as melamine is the toxic species in the test substance. To correct the interspecies difference between rat and human the NOAEL has to be corrected as follows:

 Corrected inhal NOAEC = NOAEL(oral) × (1 ÷ sRVrat) × (ABSoral-rat ÷ ABSinh-human)

= 122.8 mg/kg bw/day × (1 ÷ 1.15 m³/kg bw) × (1 ÷ 1) = 106.8 mg/m³

sRV = standard respiratory volume; ABS = absorption

No adjustment is made for oral /inhalation absorption. The oral route is considered the most favourable one for uptake because melaminephosphate disintegrates to melamine and phosphate in stomach acid.

Thus, the corrected starting point for workers is 106.8 mg/m³ for inhalation.
