Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
4.7 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):
75
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
200 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
353 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for repeated dose effects via the inhalation route is determined on the basis of route-to-route extrapolation from the oral OECD 422 study. In this study a NOAEL of 200 mg/kg bw was derived based on effects relevant for humans. The following corrections were made to the NOAEL (oral): Correction for respiratory volume rat (8 hour): 1/0.38 m³/kg bw/d (default).

Correction for respiratory rate and volume (human worker): 6.7 m ³/d/10 m ³/d (default). Therefore, the corrected NOAEC for toxicity via the inhalation route is: 200*(1/0.38)*(6.7 m ³/d /10 m ³/d) = 353 mg/m ³.

Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
200 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
20 000 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for developmental effects via the dermal route is determined on the basis of route-to-route extrapolation from the oral OECD Test Guideline 422 study. In this study a NOAEL of 200 mg/kg bw/day was derived based on effects relevant for humans. In practice, dermal absorption of this substance is very limited.  A further correction for the known dermal absorption of 1% has been made, with the additional factor of 100: 200 mg/kg bw/day x 100 = 20000 mg/kg bw/day.

Value:
173.91 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The DNEL for repeated dose effects via the inhalation route is determined on the basis of route-to-route extrapolation from the oral OECD Test Guideline 422 study. In this study a NOAEL of 200 mg/kg bw was derived based on effects relevant for humans. The following correction was made to the NOAEL (oral): Correction respiratory volume rat (24 hour) = 1/1.15 m³/kg bw.  Therefore, the corrected NOAEC for repeated-dose systemic effects via the inhalation route is: 200*(1/1.15) = 173.91 mg/m³.

Additional information - General Population

There are no consumer uses of HL3 therefore DNELs for the dermal route is not required for the general population. A DNEL for the oral and inhalation route is calculated for the purposes of assessing exposure of man via the environment.
