Toxicological Summary
Administrative data
Workers - Hazard via inhalation route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 3.2 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):
- 1
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 1 mg/m³
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 3.2 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The DNEL derived from zinc compounds is the most conservative. OELs for soluble zinc compounds represented by zinc chloride are available. While a detailed scientific justification for the OELs is not available, these values have ensured workers safety for decades which correlates with the DNELs derived from the human volunteer studies. Taking a conservative approach it is proposed that for inhalation exposure, the existing OEL values are used as the respective DNEL (1 mg/m3/day). Then, a correction factor needs to be applied to take into account the difference in molecular weights between zinc and zinc methacrylate: zinc has a molecular weight of 65.38 g/mol. Zinc diacrylate has a molecular weight of 207.52 g/mol. A proportional rule is applied: DNEL inh = 1 mg Zn/m3/day x 3.2 = 3.2 mg Zinc diacrylate/m3/day.
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- Starting point is a NOAEL
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 1
- Justification:
- No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human experience through food supplementation.
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human experience through food supplementation.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 1
- Justification:
- No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human experience through food supplementation.
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 1
- Justification:
- No AF required; NOAEL has been derived from human volunteer studies therefore intraspecies differences are already taken into account
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
