- Criteria for respiratory tract irritation

- For example, epidemiological studies show that both soluble and insoluble nickel compounds (at opposite ends of the range of solubility) have local carcinogenic effects in the respiratory tract.
- However, the Committee considered that it should not be used in lip products, oral products and spray due to mucosal and respiratory tract irritation potential.
- subjective human observations could be supported by objective measurements of clear respiratory tract irritation (RTI) (such as electrophysiological responses, biomarkers of inflammation in nasal or bronchoalveolar lavage fluids);
- In addition to classification for inhalation toxicity, if data are available that indicates that the mechanism of toxicity is corrosivity, the substance or mixture shall also be labelled as EUH071: ‘corrosive to the respiratory tract’ — see advice at 3.1.2.3.3.
- concerns for eye and respiratory tract irritation as a consequence of repeated exposure to vapours and general systemic toxicity as a consequence of repeated inhalation and dermal exposure arising from spray painting and car polishing.
- concerns for respiratory tract irritation and corrosivity as a consequence of inhalation exposure arising from cast sheet production, production of reactive resins, production and use of adhesives, production of paints, skilled trade area: floor coating, use of casting resins in medical applications and in orthopaedic workshops, dental laboratories and surgeries as well as in ornamental decoration,
