The NOAEL of 7000 ppm from the reproductive/developmental inhalation study was used as the point of departure (POD) for workplace environmental exposure level (WEEL) value development. After the POD was adjusted to account for interindividual variability, duration of exposure, and database limitations, the resulting 8-hour time-weighted average WEEL value of 500 ppm is expected to provide a significant margin of safety against any potential adverse health effects in workers exposed to CF3I. A 15-minute short-term exposure limit of 1500 ppm was also established to protect workers from potential cardiac effects produced by acute, high-dose inhalation of CF3I.

CF3I has low acute inhalation toxicity. The no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of CF3I for cardiac sensitization in dogs was 2000 ppm. In four-week inhalation exposures, the NOAEL for rats was 10,000 ppm, and the NOAEL for mice was 10,000 ppm. In a rat subchronic inhalation study, the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) was 20,000 ppm for thyroid-related effects; the NOAEL (for non-thyroid-related effects) was 20,000 ppm. In a rat reproductive/developmental inhalation toxicity study, 20,000 ppm CF3I produced minimal general toxicity and no indication of reproductive or developmental toxicity. The LOAEL for parental toxicity (based on thyroid hormone effects) was 2000 ppm, and ,excluding thyroid effects, the parental NOAEL was 7000 ppm CF3I. The thyroid effects in rats were considered of less relevance to human risk assessment than the other systemic effects because of known species-specific differences in sensitivity to thyroid hormone perturbations. CF3I had mixed results in various in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays. No chronic toxicity or carcinogenicity studies available.
