General
No repeated dose toxicity study on ditin trisulfide is available. Therefore, DNEL derivation is based on the NOAEL from an oral 90-day study with the structural analogous read-across substance tin sulfide.
Long term exposure- systemic effect
Inhalation exposure
A subchronic or a subacute repeated dose toxicity test via inhalation exposure with ditin trisulfide, tin sulfide or tin disulfide is not available. Consequently, a subchronic oral toxicity study with tin sulfide was used to derive the worker DNEL (long-term inhalation exposure). The study revealed a NOAEL 1000 mg tin sulfide/kg bw/day. Calculated for ditin trisulfide the NOAEL is 1106 mg/kg bw/day.
Correction of the dose descriptor:
Oral NOAEL: 1106 mg/kg bw/day
sRV(rat): 0.38 m3/ kg bw (8 hours) [standard respiratory volume of the rat]
ABS oral (rat)/ ABS inhalation (human): 0.5 [ratio of oral absorption in the rat to inhalative absorption in the human]
sRV (human)/ wRV (human): 6.7 m3/ 10 m3= 0.67 m3 [ratio of human standard respiratory volume to worker respiratory volume]
The oral NOAEL 1106 mg/kg bw/ day is converted in an inhalation NOAEC 975 mg/ m3.
Calculation of the worker DNEL:
Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for worker: 975 mg/ m3
Assessment factor for exposure duration (subchronic to chronic): 2
Assessment factor for intraspecies differences (worker): 3
Assessment factor for other interspecies differences: 2.5
Worker DNEL (inhalation exposure) = 975 mg/m3/ (1 x 2 x 1 x 3 x 2.5 x 1 x 1) = 975/ 15 = 65 mg/ m3
Dermal exposure
A subchronic or a subacute dermal repeated dose toxicity test with ditin trisulfide, tin sulfide or tin disulfide is not available. Consequently, a subchronic oral toxicity study with tin sulfide was used to derive the worker DNEL (long-term dermal exposure). The study revealed a NOAEL 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Calculated for ditin trisulfide the NOAEL is 1106 mg/kg bw/day.
Considering the appropriate assessment factors, the worker DNEL (long-term dermal exposure) is calculated as follows:
Correction of the dose descriptor:
Dose descriptor of relevant study: 11060 mg/kg bw/day (NOAEL x 10; assuming 10 % dermal absorption)
Assessment factor for exposure duration (subchronic to chronic): 2
Allometric scaling factor (rat to human): 4
Assessment factor for other interspecies differences: 2.5
Assessment factor for intraspecies differences (worker): 3
Taking the above mentioned assessment factors into account, the following worker DNEL is:
Worker DNEL (dermal exposure) = 11060 mg/kg bw/day / (1 x 2 x 4 x 2.5 x 3 x 1 x 1) = 11060 / 60 = 184 mg/kg bw/day
Acute/ short term exposure- systemic effect
Inhalation
There is no indication for acute systemic toxicity of ditin trisulfide. The substance is not classified for inhalation toxicity. Moreover, due to its strong adhesive properties ditin trisulfide particles agglomerate and deposit. The vapour pressure is negligible. Taken together, its physicochemical properties excludes inhalative exposure. Also no peak exposure is expected. Therefore no DNEL is required.
Dermal
In an acute dermal toxicity study with tin sulfide according EU method B.3 and OECD 402, a LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw was obtained. Thus, the test material is not classified and labelled for acute dermal toxicity, according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore no DNEL was derived.
Acute/ short term exposure- systemic effect
Inhalation
There is no indication for acute systemic toxicity of tin sulfide. The substance is not classified for inhalation toxicity. Moreover, due to its strong adhesive properties tin sulfide particles agglomerate and deposit. The vapour pressure is negligible. Taken together, its physicochemical properties exclude inhalative exposure. Also no peak exposure is expected. Therefore no DNEL is required.
Dermal
In an acute dermal toxicity study with two structural analogous read-across substances tin sulfide and tin disulfide according EU method B.3 and OECD 402, a LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw was obtained, respectively. Therefore ditin trisulfide is not considered to be acute dermal toxic. According to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) ditin trisulfide is not classified and labelled. Therefore no DNEL was derived.
Acute and long term exposure- local effect
Respiratory irritation
Due to its strong adhesive properties ditin trisulfide particles agglomerate and deposit. The vapour pressure is negligible. Taken together, its physicochemical properties excludes inhalative exposure. Moreover, there is no indication for any adverse local effects as the substance is neither classified for inhalation toxicity nor for irritation/corrosion according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore no DNEL is required.
Skin irritation
The substance is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion and skin sensitization according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore no DNEL was derived.
Eye irritation
The substance is not classified for eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD).

No repeated dose toxicity study on ditin trisulfide is available. Therefore, DNEL derivation is based on the NOAEL from an oral 90-day study with the structural analogous read-across substance tin sulfide.

A subchronic or a subacute repeated dose toxicity test via inhalation exposure with ditin sulfide, tin sulfide or tin disulfide is not available. Consequently, a subchronic oral toxicity study with tin sulfide was used to derive the worker DNEL (long-term inhalation exposure). The study revealed a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Calculated for ditin trisulfide the NOAEL is 1106 mg/kg bw/day.
Correction of the dose descriptor:
Oral NOAEL: 1106 mg/kg bw/day
sRV(rat): 1.15 m3/ kg bw (24 hours) [standard respiratory volume of the rat]
ABS oral (rat)/ ABS inhalation (human): 0.5 [ratio of oral absorption in the rat to inhalative absorption in the human]
The oral NOAEL 1106 mg/kg bw/ day is converted in an inhalation NOAEC 481 mg/ m3.
Calculation of the consumer DNEL:
Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for consumer: 481 mg/ m3
Assessment factor for exposure duration (subchronic to chronic): 2
Assessment factor for intraspecies differences (consumer): 10
Assessment factor for other interspecies differences: 2.5
Consumer DNEL (inhalation exposure) = 481 mg/m3/ (1 x 2 x 1 x 10 x 2.5 x 1 x 1) = 481 / 50 = 9.6 mg/ m3
Dermal exposure
A subchronic or a subacute dermal repeated dose toxicity test with ditin trisulfide, tin sulfide or tin disulfide is not available. Consequently, a subchronic oral toxicity study with tin sulfide was used to derive the worker DNEL (long-term dermal exposure). The study revealed a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Calculated for ditin trisulfide the NOAEL is 1106 mg/kg bw/day.
Correction of the dose descriptor:
Dose descriptor of relevant study: 11060 mg/kg bw/day (NOAEL x 10; assuming 10 % dermal absorption)
Assessment factor for exposure duration (subchronic to chronic): 2
Allometric scaling factor (rat to human): 4
Assessment factor for other interspecies differences: 2.5
Assessment factor for intraspecies differences (consumer): 10
Taking the above mentioned assessment factors into account, the following consumer DNEL is:
Consumer DNEL (dermal exposure) = 11060 mg/kg bw/day / (1 x 2 x 4 x 2.5 x 10 x 1 x 1) = 11060 / 200 = 55 mg/kg bw/day
Oral exposure
A subchronic or a subacute dermal repeated dose toxicity test with ditin trisulfide or tin disulfide is not available.
Consequently, a subchronic oral repeated dose toxicity test with tin sulfide was used for DNEL derivation and revealed a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Calculated for ditin trisulfide the NOAEL is 1106 mg/kg bw/day.
Considering the appropriate assessment factors, the consumer DNEL (long-term oral exposure) is calculated as follows:
Correction of the dose descriptor:
Oral NOAEL: 1106 mg/kg bw/day
Assessment factor for exposure duration (subchronic to chronic): 2
Allometric scaling factor (rat to human): 4
Assessment factor for other interspecies differences: 2.5
Assessment factor for intraspecies differences (consumer): 10
Taking the above mentioned assessment factors into account, the following consumer DNEL is:
Consumer DNEL (oral exposure) = 1106 mg/kg bw/day / (1 x 2 x 4 x 2.5 x 10 x 1 x 1) = 1106 / 200 = 5.5 mg/kg bw/day
Acute/ short term exposure- systemic effect
Inhalation
There is no indication for acute systemic toxicity of ditin trisulfide. The substance is not classified for inhalation toxicity. Moreover, due to its strong adhesive properties ditin trisulfide particles agglomerate and deposit. The vapour pressure is negligible. Taken together, its physicochemical properties exclude inhalative exposure. Also no peak exposure is expected. Therefore no DNEL is required.
Dermal
In an acute dermal toxicity study with two structural analogous read-across substances tin sulfide and tin disulfide according EU method B.3 and OECD 402, a LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw was obtained, respectively. Therefore ditin trisulfide is not considered to be acute dermal toxic. According to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) ditin trisulfide is not classified and labelled. Therefore no DNEL was derived.
Oral
There is no indication for acute systemic toxicity of ditin trisulfide. Based on the physical form and low water solubility, but mainly on the absence of toxicity in acute and repeated dose oral toxicity studies, oral absorption of ditin trisulfide is assumed to be very low. Therefore no DNEL is derived.
Acute and long term exposure- local effect
Respiratory irritation
Due to its strong adhesive properties ditin trisulfide particles agglomerate and deposit. The vapour pressure is negligible. Taken together, its physicochemical properties exclude inhalative exposure. Moreover, there is no indication for any adverse local effects as the substance is neither classified for inhalation toxicity nor for irritation/corrosion according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore no DNEL is required.
Skin irritation
The substance is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion and skin sensitization according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore no DNEL was derived.
Eye irritation
The substance is not classified for eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD).
