Additional information - workers

MAHP is a corrosive substance. Accordingly the risk management measures implemented due to this property of the substance are regarded to be sufficient to protect workers against the hazards of acute exposures via all routes and dermal long term exposures. For long-term inhalation exposure a read across approach is followed using hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) as reference substances. HEA is freed from MAHP when the ester moiety is hydrolised while HPA differs from HEA only by one methyl group, so both are structurally closely related to MAHP. HEA and HPA feature as the only relevant moiety the Michael System, and they are very stable against hydrolysis below a pH of 10, so the acid moiety will not be freed from the ester. Therefore it is very likely that the Michael System is relevant for the local effects (irritation/corrosion) that trigger the inhalation toxicity of these substances (nasal tissues, focal ulcerative rhinitis). As this moiety is most probably responsible for the inhalation toxicity of HEA and HPA it is not unlikely that MAHP will show a comparable local corrosive/irritating behaviour at the portal of entry. This is also in line with the effects seen with MAES in an oral 28 d study in rats where irritation/corrosion effects were seen at the portal of entry (forestomach). Accordingly the LOAEC of 5 ppm that was identical for HEA and HPA was used as a starting point for the derivation of an inhalation DNEL. As this value was identical for different species when tested with HPA the interspecies factor was reduced to 1. Due to the low vapour pressures of MAHP fumes can be ruled out. So only aerosol formation can lead to inhalation exposure to MAHP.

Additional information - General Population

For the general public only indirect oral exposure after release to the environment is possible. Therefore only a long-term oral DNEL was derived based on the results from an oral 28 d study conducted with rats that were exposed to monoacryloxyethyl succinate (MAES). Both substances are structurally closely related and both feature the Michael system that is regarded to be responsible for the local effects seen in this study. Therefore a read across between the two substances is deemed valid for this endpoint.
