Any other information on results incl. tables

Particle size distribution of measured total dustiness (119.32 mg/g) was determined in study DMT 2013 (see Technical Dossier Section 4.5, endpoint study record: key_Particle size distribution (Granulometry) DMT GS 3 – 00 005 13rev1) and the calculated MMAD and GSD values were used as input parameters for the prediction of the inhalable amount (94.8% of total dustiness) and its fractional deposition behaviour in the respiratory tract applying the Multiple Path Particle model (MPPD)(ver.2.11).

Only very few amounts of the total dustiness fraction (4.3 %) will reach the pulmonary (alveolar) region. The vast majority of inhaled dust will be withheld in the naso-pharyngeal (head) region (89.1 %) and minor amounts in the tracheobronchial region (1.4 %). Deposits in the alveolar region would not get directly absorbed as the substance is an poorly soluble dust. The alveolar dust deposits would mainly be engulfed by alveolar macrophages. The macrophages will then either translocate particles to the ciliated airways or carry particles into the pulmonary interstitium and lymphoid tissues. Poorly water-soluble dusts depositing in the nasopharyngeal region could be coughed or sneezed out of the body or swallowed. Dusts depositing in the tracheo-bronchial region would mainly be cleared from the lungs by the mucocilliary mechanism and swallowed (c.f. ECHA TGD R7a, R.7.12.2.1).

Thus, direct inhalative systemic bioavailability is highly unlikeley due to the deposition behaviour, crystalline structure and limited solubility.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Direct inhalative systemic bioavailability is unlikely due to the deposition behaviour, crystalline structure and limited solubility

Executive summary:

Prediction of respiratory deposition patterns using the MPPD model

MMAD (9.9 µm) and GDS (3.6) were used as distribution parameter for the MPPD model enabling an estimation of deposited dust fractions in the human respiratory tract: Using the derived particle size distribution parameters, it is possible to quantify the deposited fractions of the airborne dust in the human respiratory tract. The Multiple-Path Particle Dosimetry Model (MPPD, v2.11; CIIT, 2013) was used to predict this fractional deposition behaviour for workers.

Particle size distribution of measured total dustiness (119.32 mg/g) was determined in study DMT 2013 (see Technical Dossier Section 4.5, endpoint study record: key_Particle size distribution (Granulometry) DMT GS 3 – 00 005 13rev1) and the calculated MMAD and GSD values were used as input parameters for the prediction of the inhalable amount (94.8% of total dustiness) and its fractional deposition behaviour in the respiratory tract.

Only very few amounts of the total dustiness fraction (4.3%) will reach the pulmonary (alveolar) region. The vast majority of inhaled dust will be withheld in the naso-pharyngeal (head) region (89.1%) and minor amounts in the tracheobronchial region (1.4%). Deposits in the alveolar region would not get directly absorbed as the substance is an poorly soluble dust. The alveolar dust deposits would mainly be engulfed by alveolar macrophages. The macrophages will then either translocate particles to the ciliated airways or carry particles into the pulmonary interstitium and lymphoid tissues. Poorly water-soluble dusts depositing in the nasopharyngeal region could be coughed or sneezed out of the body or swallowed. Dusts depositing in the tracheo-bronchial region would mainly be cleared from the lungs by the mucocilliary mechanism and swallowed (c.f. ECHA TGD R7a, R.7.12.2.1).

Thus, direct inhalative systemic bioavailability is unlikely due to the deposition behaviour, crystalline structure and limited solubility.
