Exposure <strong>of</strong> consumers to cryolite occurs via inhalation through use <strong>of</strong> glazes in pottery. <strong>For</strong><br />

the use <strong>of</strong> powdery cryolite the modelled data by EASE estimation without local exhaust<br />

ventilation was selected with considering a duration <strong>of</strong> 1 hour an inhalation exposure <strong>of</strong> 6.25<br />

mg/m 3 .<br />

The bioavailibility is estimated as 100 % after inhalation.<br />

Acute toxicity<br />

<strong>Human</strong> data on the acute toxicity <strong>of</strong> cryolite are not available.<br />

Inhalation<br />

In a well conducted and guideline-compliant rat inhalation study, a LC50 <strong>of</strong> 4470 mg/m3 was<br />

derived. Therefore, a classification as harmful and labelling with R20 is appropriate. Taken<br />

into account the exposure value <strong>of</strong> 6.25 mg/m3 derived from a worst case scenario the margin<br />

<strong>of</strong> safety is judged to be sufficient.<br />
