5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data

Two feeding studies in rats were reported. One was negative, although the time when the tumours occurred in both treated and control groups was not given; the other provided no details of pathological studies and therefore cannot be evaluated.

5.2 Human carcinogenicity data

Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 63: Group 3)

For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
