COEL has adopted Recommendation SCOEL/SUM/086 (regarding Chromium (VI) compounds) in 2004. This Recommendation by SCOEL, 'SCOEL/SUM 086' is currently undergoing an update and revision. On the basis of this Recommendations and in accordance with Directive 98/24/EC on the protection of the health...

The critical effect of phosphoryl trichloride is irritation of the upper and lower respiratory tract and the eyes. The chemically related substance phosphorus trichloride exerts similar effects. In addition to its hydrolysis products, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid, it is reasonable that...

The critical toxic effects of hexachlorobenzene in humans are hepatic porphyria and liver toxicity. The lowest reported oral dose causing liver toxicity in humans was estimated from an epidemic in Turkey with reported hexachlorobenzene levels of 0.8-3.3 mg/kg bw/day (HCN 2011). No NOAEL was...

Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is a colourless oily liquid with a slight ester-like odour. The water solubility of DBP is 10-11 mg/l at 20 °C and the log POW is 4.6-5.38. The substance has a flash point of 157 °C (closed cup) and a density of 1.05 g/cm3 (ACGIH 2001, ATSDR 2001, ECB 2000, 2003).

n-Butyl acetate, sec-butyl acetate and isobutyl acetate have structural similarities and a common metabolic pathway. The main critical effect is local irritation, which is common to all three acetates. These common toxicological properties justify a recommendation of an OEL for all three butyl...
