There is no available data concerning effects of the test substance on humans.


An approximate lethal concentration (ALC) of 10000 ppm at which a pulmonary oedema was observed is significantly greater than that of the repeated dose toxiciy test (i.e. NOAEC: 1000 ppm) used to apply the DNEL of long-term exposure by inhalation derivation. Furthermore, as the long-term DNEL is normally sufficient to ensure that these effects do not occur, and under normal operating conditions no peak exposure is expected, the DNEL for acute effects by inhalation is not necessary. As the existing data shows the test substance is not an eye irritant, the DNEL of eye effects does not need to be derived.


As the test substance is a gas at room temperature, the test is not technically feasible through oral and dermal routes, so the DNEL for dermal and oral effects does not need to be derived. However, detailed data through inhalation route is available. A GLP test (Report No. DUPONT-20813, 2007) following OECD guideline 422 combined repeat dose toxicity study with the reproduction/development toxicity shows that exposure to the test substance did not result in adverse clinical signs or mortality. Test substance-related reductions in weight gain, food consumption, and/or food efficiency occurred in 1500 ppm males and females, however, they were transient and did not adversely affect the health of the animals. Meanwhile, test substance-related, minimal regeneration of renal tubular epithelium was observed in 1500 ppm males and females, and was accompanied by increased absolute and relative kidney weights in 1500 ppm females. However, there were no adverse or test substance-related effects on reproductive function, clinical pathology parameters, and no effects on offspring body weight, clinical observations, or survival.


In the follow-up study, a GLP 90-day inhalation study in rats conducted at 0, 80, 280 and 1000 ppm, only few clinical signs were observed, and were limited to non-adverse test substance-related effects consisting of yellow material around the urogenital area in the 280 and 1000 ppm group females and slightly lower mean body weights in the 1000 ppm group females. There were no remarkable histopathological findings in males and females at the highest dose. Therefore, the no observed adverse effect concentration (NOAEC) was 1000 ppm.


Based on the results, the NOAEC for reproduction toxicity in the screening assay was 1500 ppm (10185,40 mg/m3), above that of systemic toxicity at 1000 ppm ( 6790.26 mg/m3). Therefore, the NOAEC of 6790.26 mg/m3 was selected as starting point for the derivation of the Long-term DNEL inhalation toxicity

Additional information - General Population

The test substance is a gas at room temperature, so the test is not technically feasible through the oral and dermal routes, no exposure is normally expected and a DNEL for dermal/oral effects does not need to be derived. However, detailed data through the inhalation route is available. A GLP test (Report No. DUPONT-20813, 2007) following OECD guideline 422 showed that no test treatment-related reproductive toxicity was observed at 1500 ppm. Furthermore, no substance related adverse effects (systemic toxicity) occurred at moderate doses (60ppm, 300 ppm).

In the follow-up study, a GLP 90-day inhalation study in rats conducted at 0, 80, 280 and 1000 ppm, only few clinical signs were observed, and were limited to non-adverse test substance-related effects consisting of yellow material around the urogenital area in the 280 and 1000 ppm group females and slightly lower mean body weights in the 1000 ppm group females. There were no remarkable histopathological findings in males and females at the highest dose. Therefore, the no observed adverse effect concentration (NOAEC) was 1000 ppm.

Based on the available animal data, the NOAEC for reproduction toxicity in the screening assay was 1500 ppm (10185.40 mg/m3), above that of systemic toxicity at 1000 ppm (6790.26 mg/m3) observed in the 90-day study. Therefore, the NOAEC of 6790.26 mg/m3 was selected as starting point for the derivation of the Long-term DNEL inhalation toxicity.
