Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 0.63 mg/m³
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- developmental toxicity / teratogenicity
- 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:
- 100 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 176.32 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Dose descriptor starting point and modified dose descriptor starting point derived on the basis of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2Et), i.e. expressed as mg 2Et/kg bw/day and mg 2Et /m³ respectively. The DNEL is given on a substance specific basis, i.e. expressed as "mg magnesium 2-ethylhexanoate/m³". Route to route extrapolation performed in accordance with ECHA Guidance R.8, Appendix R.8 -2 (page 57ff.).
- AF for dose response relationship:

Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- insufficient hazard data available (further information necessary)
Acute/short term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- insufficient hazard data available (further information necessary)
DNEL related information
Workers - Hazard via dermal route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 0.36 mg/kg bw/day
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- developmental toxicity / teratogenicity

- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 300
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 100 mg/kg bw/day

In order to evaluate toxicological properties of the substance magnesium 2‑ethylhexanoate, information on the assessment entities magnesium cation and 2‑ethylhexanoate anion were considered. For a documentation and justification of that approach, please refer to the separate document attached to section 13, namely Read Across Assessment Report for magnesium 2‑ethylhexanoate.
