SODIUM DIETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE
VOL.: 12 (1976) (p. 217)
CAS No.: 148-18-5
Chem. Abstr. Name: Diethylcarbamodithioic acid, sodium salt
5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data
Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate has been tested by oral administration
and by single subcutaneous injection in two strains of mice. Although
it produced an increase in the incidence of liver-cell tumours in
males of one strain and a slight increase of lung tumours in males of
the other strain following its oral administration, the available data
are insufficient to make an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of this
compound.
5.2 Human carcinogenicity data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 71: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
