| Abstract |
|
Following accidental release of valproate into ambient air during manufacture at a French production site in 2018, concerns were raised for inhabitants of the surrounding area. As no toxicological reference value (TRV) was available, the risks could not be properly assessed. The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (ANSES) was mandated to determine a TRV by inhalation to be used for risk assessment. Major congenital malformations (MCMs) in offsprings of mothers exposed to valproate during pregnancy have been reported in international scientific literature. As these adverse effects were the most sensitive effect identified, they were retained as the critical effect to be used for the TRV. The data from a robust registry on MCMs established by the International Registry of Antiepileptic Drugs and Pregnancy (EURAP) were modellized and support a strong DRR between the prevalence of MCMs in the fetus and in utero exposure. A benchmark dose (BMD) was then calculated as the dose that may trigger a 5% increase in this risk. A lower 95% confidence limit (BMD5%L95%) of 2.26 mg/kg/day, leading to an oral TRV of 0.08 mg/kg/day and a respiratory TRV of 0.26 mg.m-3 after applying an uncertainty factor of 30, was determined. |
