Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information - workers

DNEL derivation for each of the relevant endpoints was based on the most conservative value obtained. Thus, DNELs represent the worst – case secenario.

In a repeated dose toxicity oral study combined with a reproduction/ developmental toxicity study, MTHPA caused primary local toxicity effects. All observed systemic effects were of secondary nature. Since local effects are independent of metabolic rate, an assessment factor of 1 (default factor 4) was applied for allometric scaling from rat to human. For the remaining interspecies differences an assessment factor of 1 was applied (default factor 2.5), as there is no evidence for differences in the general mode of action or kinetics. Due to the local nature of primary toxicity effects an assessment factor of 1 was used for extrapolation from subacute to chronic exposure (default factor 6). Finally, an assessment factor of 5 was applied for intraspecies differences (worker). As worker DNEL long term for dermal route and inhalation route was derived from the NOAEL long term oral, same assessment factors (as detailed above) were applied in the calculations of the DNEL long term dermal/ inhalation.
