Exposure related observations in humans: other data
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- exposure-related observations in humans: other data
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- These experiments were not performed under Good Laboratory Practice standards. The data were, however, generated using the U.S. National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's analytical method NIOSH 6011. Standard operating procedures were followed throughout the study from preparation, sampling, shipping samples, sample analysis, and data retention. Therefore, the data are well documented and scientifically acceptable.

- Exposure assessment:
- measured
- Details on exposure:
- A Utility Team Member and a Technical OPerator II wore personal air samplers for 431 minutes or 442 minutes, respectively, while performing routine duties at the West Plant Bromine process area.
Results and discussion
- Results:
- Two employees were monitored at the West Plant Bromine process area for 431 or 442 minutes. The measured concentrations of bromine during these respective time periods were 0.01 ppm and 0.00 ppm.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A Utility Team Member and a Technical Operator II wore personal air samplers while performing their duties at the West Plant Bromine process area. The Utility Team Member was monitored for 431 minutes; the measured bromine concentration during this time period was 0.01 ppm. The Technical Operator II was monitored for 442 minutes; the measured bromine concentration during this time period was 0.00 ppm.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
