Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
150 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
264.47 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

As no long-term study on inhalation is available, route-to-route extrapolation has been performed (oral to inhalation).


The NOAEL (oral route) observed in an Extended One-Generation Reproductive Toxicity Study, performed according to OECD 443 guideline (Barraclough, 2021), was used to derive a DNEL long-term, systemic effects via the inhalation route. The NOAEL was established to be 150 mg/kg bw/day.


The oral NOAEL dose in rats is converted to the corresponding air concentrations using a standard breathing volume for the rat (0.38 m³/kg bw for 8 hours, as this is the expected duration of worker exposure). The resulting air concentration needs to be additionally corrected for the difference between basal caloric demand and caloric demand under light activity for workers. This correction factor is derived from the inhaled volumes during an 8-hour period under the respective conditions (6.70 m³ for base level, 10 m³ for light activity). No correction factor for bioavailability is required as bioavailability after oral and inhalatory administration is assumed to be 100%. The corrected inhalation NOAEC is calculated as follows: 150 mg/kg bw/day x (1/(0.38 m³/kg bw/day)) x (6.70 m³/10 m³) = 264.47 mg/m³.

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

As no long-term study via dermal application is available, route-to-route extrapolation has been performed (oral to dermal).


The NOAEL (oral route) observed in an Extended One-Generation Reproductive Toxicity Study, performed according to OECD 443 guideline (Barraclough, 2021), was used to derive a DNEL long-term, systemic effects via the dermal route. The NOAEL was established to be 150 mg/kg bw/day. After route-to-route extrapolation from oral to dermal, the dose descriptor starting point is 150 mg/kg bw/day x 100%/10% = 1500 mg/kg bw/day. A correction factor of 10 is considered as bioavailability after oral administration is established to be 100%, and after dermal administration 10%.

NOAEL
Value:

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
130.43 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

This route is considered of minor concern due to the low vapour pressure of the substance. In addition, the substance is marketed as a water solution.


As no long-term study on inhalation is available, route-to-route extrapolation has been performed (oral to inhalation). 


The NOAEL (oral route) observed in an Extended One-Generation Reproductive Toxicity Study, performed according to OECD 443 guideline (Barraclough, 2021), was used to derive a DNEL long-term, systemic effects via the inhalation route. The NOAEL was established to be 150 mg/kg bw/day.


The oral NOAEL dose in rats is converted to the corresponding air concentrations using a standard breathing volume for the rat (1.15 m³/kg for 24 hours as this is the expected duration exposure for consumers). No correction factor for bioavailability is required as bioavailability after oral and inhalatory administration is assumed to be 100%. The corrected inhalation NOAEC is calculated as follows: 150 mg/kg bw/day x 1/(1.15 m³/kg bw/day) = 130.43 mg/m³.
