摘要

Background: Human health risk assessment includes in general a high-to-low dose extrapolation. Experimental animals are usually exposed in toxicity studies using dose levels which vary over one order of magnitude. Moreover, the experimental animal dose levels are in most cases significantly higher than the human exposure levels. Although high-to-low dose extrapolation is a common step in human risk assessment, it introduces various uncertainties. One of these uncertainties is related to the toxicokinetics of the specific chemical. Many kinetic processes such as absorption, metabolism or excretion can be subject to saturation at high dose levels, resulting in disproportionate increases in internal blood or tissue concentration relative to the external dose administered. Objectives: The aim is to emphasize the importance of kinetic information for the determination of a safe exposure in human risk assessment of inhalation exposures assessed by conversion from a high animal exposure to a low exposure in man. Methods: For two selected compounds, i.e. methyl tert-butyl ether and 1,2-dichloroethane, Physiologically Based Toxicokinetic (PBTK) modeling was used to follow the extrapolation and conversion steps as performed in existing risk assessments for these compounds. The modeled human exposure scenarios include both continuous long-term exposure for the general population and occupational exposure for 8h/d for 5 days per week. Both blood Cmax and AUC are considered as internal dose metrics. It is presented how internal exposure might change due to high-to-low dose extrapolation applied on the external exposure. Also, the impact of conversion of an intermittent exposure to continuous exposure on these internal dose metrics is included. Results: In order to reduce the uncertainties related to high-to-low dose extrapolation, information on toxicokinetics is considered essential in order to create an adequate margin of safety at the appropriate dose metric. Human health-based limit values based on an external dose metric without sufficient knowledge on kinetics might be too high to be sufficiently protective. Without insight in the actual internal exposure, the toxic agent, the appropriate dose metric, and whether an effect is related to internal concentration or dose, application of assessment factors on an external dose metric and the conversion to continuous exposure results in an uncertain human health risk assessment of inhalation exposures.
