VOL.: 12 (1976) (p. 245)
CAS No.: 12122-67-7
Chem. Abstr. Name: {[l,2-Ethanediylbis(carbamodithioato)] (2-)}zinc
5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data
Zineb produced an increased incidence of lung tumours after its oral
administration to mice of one strain. Systemic reticular-cell sarcomas
were observed in mice and a variety of sarcomas in rats after its
subcutaneous administration. No increases in tumour incidences were
observed in two other strains of mice and in two limited studies in
rats following oral administration. The available data do not allow an
evaluation of the carcinogenicity of zineb to be made.
5.2 Human carcinogenicity data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 74: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
