- Dose descriptor starting point:
- LOAEC
- Value:
- 136 mg/m³
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- LOAEC
- Value:
- 68.34 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The exposure in the animal study was for 6h per day an 5 days/week, whereas for workers 8h per day is assumed. Furthermore, it is expected that workers have an increased respiratory volume at light activity (10 m3 per person instead of 6.7 m3 for the general population). Thus, the dose descriptor starting point was corrected for these two points.
corrected LOAEC = inhalatory LOAEC x exp.condition(rat) / exp.condition(human)
corrected LOAEC = inhalatory LOAEC x (6h/d / 8h/d) x (6.7 m3 (8h) / 10 m3 (8h))
corrected LOAEC = 136 mg/m3 x 0.75 x 0.67
corrected LOAEC = 68.34 mg/m3

- 3
- Justification:
- LOAEC to NOAEC

- Justification:
- subacute to chronic

Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 3 mg/kg bw/day
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity
- Route of original study:
- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 100
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
For the derivation of the dermal worker DNEL a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day obtained in an oral 90 -day study in rats (0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg bw) was chosen as dose descriptor starting point.
Calculation of modified dose descriptor starting point:
Corrected dermal NOAEL = oral NOAEL x (ABS oral-rat / ABS dermal-rat) x (ABS dermal-rat / ABS dermal-human)
In absence of detailed information on absorption parameters, a similar dermal and oral absorption is assumend.
This results in the following equation:
Corrected dermal NOAEL = 300 mg/kg x 1 / 1 = 300 mg/kg
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- The descriptor starting point is a NOAEL. The dose response relationship is considered unremarkable.
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 2
- Justification:
- The DNEL is derived from a subchronic repeated dose toxicity study.
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 4
- Justification:
- Default allometric scaling factor for differences between rats and humans.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 2.5
- Justification:
- There is no evidence for species differences in the general mode of action or kinetics. However, standard AF is applied.
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 5
- Justification:
- Default AF for the worker.
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 1
- Justification:
- The quality of the whole database is considered to be sufficient and uncritical.
- AF for remaining uncertainties:
- 1
- Justification:
- No further remaining uncertainties.
