CAS No.: 8001-50-1
5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data
Terpene polychlorinates (StrobaneR) were tested in a preliminary
study by the oral route in two strains of mice and produced an
increased incidence of hepatomas in males of one strain. The
suggestion that the product also increased the incidence of malignant
lymphomas in this species awaits confirmation.
No adequate data were available for other species or other routes of
administration.
5.2 Human carcinogenicity data
No epidemiological studies were available to the Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 71: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
