TECHNICAL APPROACH FOR DEVELOPING HEALTH EFFECTS PROFILES FOR HAPS
Scope of this document: The information contained in this document is not intended to be an exhaustive review of the scientific health effects literature on these chemicals, but to provide a summary of the relevant literature needed to make a decision as to whether additional testing is needed to understand the toxicity of these compounds following inhalation exposure. To fulfill this goal, the following criteria were used for the inclusion of studies, and the final summaries were reviewed by EPA
Acute, Subchronic, and Chronic Systemic Noncancer Toxicity - Since the main concern of this review is inhalation nsk, only inhalation studies were reviewed. Although oral studies can provide important information on target organ toxicity and should be considered in the design of any testing protocol, these studies usually provide no information on the effects of a compound on the respiratory tract. In addition, the systemic dose of many compounds are affected by "first pass" effects at the portal of entry into the body making extrapolation between oral and inhalation exposure problematic unless extensive pharmacokinetic data are available. An exception to this is dibutyl phthalate, which, because of its low vapor pressure, is being considered for oral testing. For this chemical, oral acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity studies were reviewed and summarized.
Reproductive Toxicity, Developmental Toxicity, Neurotoxicity and Carcinogenicity - These endpoints were considered to be very important in evaluating the potential health effects of the chemicals and for these endpoints, studies were reviewed regardless of the route of administration. In the evaluation of these endpoints, studies that were considered to provide no useful information because of inadequate study design or poor reporting of experimental procedures were not included in the tables.
> Pharmacokinetics - For pharmacokinetics, only a summary statement was provided on the availability of pharmacokinetics data. The source of information on pharmacokinetics data was obtained from secondary sources initially consulted for evaluation of the HAPs. The purpose of this pharmacokinetics summary statement was to indicate whether there was potentially sufficient information on the pharmacokinetics from the oral and inhalation routes to allow route-to-route extrapolation of toxicological studies.
Genotoxiclty - This toxicological endpoint was not included in this document, but summarized separately in Waters, 1990 which is available in the docket for the Test Rule.
Adequacy of Data - in the tables, adequacy is used to indicate if the conduct and design of the study are sufficient to meet the requirements of OPPTs Test Guidelines. It should be noted that a study does not have to specifically meet the TSCA testing guideline, but it must have such qualities as sufficient numbers of test animals so that adequate statistics can be performed and sufficient doses tested to define a dose-response relationship. When a study is indicated as inadequate, it is not implied that the study was necessarily poorly conducted or does not provide useful and accurate test data, but only that the study does not meet OPPT's test guidelines and that it would not provide the best basis for a risk assessment using current EPA methodology.
Identification of relevant scientific literature: Under EPA's direction, SRC performed searches of the literature in a step-wise manner to save both time and expense. The first step was to identify and review secondary source health effect documents. EPA realizes that using secondary sources of information is not idea), since the secondary source can miss important information or incorrectly interpret a study. If information appeared to be missing or the interpretation was unclear, SRC obtained the original article for clarification. The second step was to conduct up-date searches of the scientific literature, identify studies, obtain the original articles, and review these studies for inclusion in this document. The following details the strategy that was utilized'
For this group of HAPs, EPA, IARC, or ATSDR health effects documents were identified and relevant data were extracted from these secondary sources and placed in the tables. If essential information was missing from the review documents, then foe original article was consulted

To obtain unpublished studies submitted to EPA under TSCA, the TSCATS data base was searched by CAS Registry number, the documents were retrieved, and the study information was entered into the table.
A current (1993) printout of the NTP Results Report (generated from NTP's CHEMTRACK data base) was reviewed to determine if there were completed studies conducted by NTT* and obtain the status of studies tn progress or planned.
The National Toxicology Program Review of Current DHHS, DOE, and EPA Research Re/afed to Toxicology Fiscal year 1993 was reviewed to determine the status of on-going toxicity studies on these HAPs
If few studies were identified, then searches were conducted on CAS ONLINE
The EPA IRIS data sheets were reviewed to ascertain if additional data had been identified by the working group, and if studies were found, they were retrieved and added to the table.
An up-date search of the open literature was conducted on TOXLINE from 3 years prior to the date of the review document used to initially obtain toxicity information. These searches were reviewed, hard copies of relevant articles were retrieved, and the data from these articles were entered into the tables.
The literature searches were conducted in the latter part of 1992 and earfy in 1993, however, additional studies have been added through the middle of 1994 as these studies were identified during the review process by EPA and SRC.
In general, translations of foreign articles were not available and few such articles are included in this document. Exceptions occurred when the translation was readily available in SRC's achives or through EPA.
The tables were reviewed by a committee in EPA
Representatives from NIOSH, OSHA, FDA, and Nl EHS were consulted to determine if these organizations had any information on completed or on-going studies that might not be included on any readily available database.
Representative trade organizations of the chemical industry were contacted to determine if they were aware of any on-going testing.
Other related documents: Two additional documents were prepared for the evaluation of die testing needs for these HAPs. One was a support document on physical chemical properties, environmental transport and persistence, and exposure (occupational, consumer, environmental, and general population) entitled Exposure Profile for HAPs - Group 1 prepared by SRC (May 25, 1994) The second was an evaluation of the genotoxic potential of these HAPs entitled Genefrc Activity Profiles of 110 Hazardous Air Pollutants Listed Under Title III of the Clean Air Act prepared by Waters at EPA. Both of these documents are included in the docket for this Test Rule.

There was exposure to other chemicals including vinyl chloride.
Ott ctal 1976
No adequate epidemiological studies were located; however, some information regarding occupational exposure is available (ATSDR, 1992).
Males
Tissue damage and increased DNA replication were noted in kidneys of exposed mice
Inadequate because of loo few concentration levels tested and the use of only one sex.
The authors suggested that tumors in mice arose primarily through effects of the chemical on oongenelic components of the cells

Significant increases in the incidence of renal adenocarcinomas (doserelated) and mammary carcinomas (not doserelated) were observed in males (25 ppm) and females (10 and 25 ppm), respectively. Pulmonary adenomas (not dose-related) were increased in males and females of both treated groups
Increased incidence of hepatic hemangiosarcomas and lung, skin, and liver cell turnon was noted, but the increases were not significantly different from that of controls.
No significant increase in incidence of turnon was noted
This is an inadequate carcinogenicity study on the basis of exposure duration, however, it is adequate to qualitatively determine carcinogenicity since the results were positive
This study indicates a potential for carcinogenicity after prolonged inhalation exposure
Inadequate because of the use of only one exposure level, and a low number of test animals for a short exposure period
Additional groups of 4 mice/sex were sacrificed after 1,2,3, 6, and 9 months of treatment with similar results.
Inadequate, because only one exposure level was used in a low number of test animals for a short period of time
Negative results were obtained.

Response
No significant increase in incidence of tumors was observed.
Incidence of brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, or ependymomas) were not significantly increased over controls
Exposure in utero followed by weekly treatment from weaning did not lead to a significant increase in incidence of tumors An increased prevalence of hyperplastic nodules was seen in the liver.
No local paptl tarnas or carcinomas, nor significant increase in incidence of distant tumors
Study Adequacy
Comments
The study was inadequate since only one exposure group was used and the exposure duration was loo short
Inadequate because of short exposure duration
Data from other oral studies indicate that this dose was well below the MTD.
Negative findings agree with other oral findings

Maternal mortality was 100% at 144 and 300 ppm, and decreased food consumption with decreased weight gain occurred tn groups exposed to a 30 ppm. There were no viable fetuses at 30 ppm or higher. Also, a significant increase in incomplete stemebrae ossification was observed in (he 15 ppm group.
This is an inadequate developmental toxicity study because of severe maternal toxicity
A NOAEC was nol identified for fetal effects
Short et al, 1977a
Maternal toxicity (decreased weight gain) was evidence at these shorter exposure periods, but incidences of resorption were decreased Developmental toxicity (increased incidences of cleft palate) was seen at 54 ppm levels, after treatment cm gestation days 10-15 and 12-15 Delayed ossification, immature skin, and hematomas were also noted in various groups (not specified).
Inadequate study. Maternal toxicity occurred at nearly all concentrations
The authors were attempting to eliminate the severe maternal toxicity observed in other studies by treatment for shorter times during gestation, along with identifying the sensitive times during gestation

3-generalion study Parental animals were exposed for 100 days before mating (after raising one litter, they were mated again for a second litter) and Flk rats were exposed after weaning. Exposure continued with the F} and FT
animals
Drinking water concentrations were 0.50, MX), or 200 ppm
12 males mated with 1 or 2 females
Parental: ID males, 20 females in treated groups, 15 males, 30 females in the control group. Number of animals thal were bred in subsequent generations ranged from 20 to 24 tn the treated group
Male fertility and the incidence of pie- aid post-implantation losses in females were not affected by treatment; however, there was a significant decrease in number of pregnancies.
No clear dose-related reproductive effects were observed in any generation.
This is an adequate dominant lethal lest, but does not fully evaluate the reproductive effects.
These concentrations caused mild dose related lesions in the liver
There were 20 maied females in the treated and 24 in the control group
A free-standing NOEL of 200 ppm for reproductive effects after oral exposure is indicated by these data.
Short el al., 1977b Nitschke et al. 1983
Available information sugj tests low reproductive toxfcJty potential, although adequate inhalation studies were not located (HEEP, 986; ATSDR, 1992)
Data are available regarding the pharmacokinetics of inhaled or mgesled vinylidenc chloride. Absorption appears to be rapid and complete, pulmonary absorption appears to be brphasic with a rapid first-order phase. Distribution is primarily to the liver and kidneys, and significant accumulation does not seem to occur, up to 70-80% of absorbed oral and inhalation doses are excreted within 24 hours (KEEP, 1986)

The mortality Tate among exposed rats was 62% (18/29), although severe lung infection among some treated rats confounded the interpretation. "Major" damage occurred in liver, kidney, and lung m 55%, 52%, and 59% of exposed rats, compared to respective incidences of 46%, 25%, and 29% in controls. No notable differences with the control group were observed with respect to body length, liver and kidney weights, icterus index, liver fat and blood cvtoloev
No adequate acute inhalation toxicity studies were located [ATSDR, 1989; CHEMTRACK, 7/93; U.S EPA, 1984a (HEA, Final Draft); U.S EPA, 1984b (EPA 541V1-86-045); LARC, 1991, TSCATS. 9/93], however, available data indicate that acute renal and hepatic toxicity and death result from single exposures of a250 ppm for *4 hours.
This is an inadequate study due to the lung infection problem and the deficiency in number of exposure levels

No notable changes from pre-exposure values were observed with resped to bromsulfalcm retention, scrum phosphatase level, blood urea nitrogen, and blood cytology A'light cloudy swelling" of the liver and "light" congestion ofthe lungs were noted at necropsy, while liver and kidney weights were not remarkable
Mean liver and kidney weights as a percent of the controls were 93.0% and 94.1%, respectively. No other endpoints were reported.
Brain, thymic, and testicular weights were significantly increased in males at 38 mg/kg.
No alterations were noted in humoral or cellmediated immune status.
This is an inadequate study due to deficiency in number of exposure levels and number of dogs exposed per level
Methods and results were inadequately reported, only one concentration and too few animals were tesied This appears to be an adequate study.

Workers were exposed to a mixture, but methyl methacrylate was estimated to be the major constituent (88 to 100%) In the early 1940s, the mix was approximately 88% MMA and 12% EA.
Only 2% of the study cohort was lost to follow-up
Co-exposure to other possible carcinogens (workers were also exposed to ethyl acrylate) provides a confounder for this study.

The two highest exposure groups showed exposure related minimal to slight changes (including inflammation, degeneration, atrophy, and hyperplasia) in the olfactory epithelium of the anterior nasal cavity There was also concentration dependant slightlo moderate inflammation and hyperplasia in the respiratory epithelium of the anterior nasal cavity.
Mild rhinitis was observed Hi treated rats; otherwise no toxicity was observed
Decreased body weight occurred m both sexes in the high-dose group. Treatment-related inflammation of the nasal cavity and degeneration of the olfactory sensory epithelium was seen m both sexes
This appears to be an adequate study
This is an adequate chronic toxicity study. Inadequate because NOAEC was not identified.
Histopathologic observations were limited only to the nasal cavity. The NOEL was 25 ppm
Prnity >99.6%, clinical signs and important endpoints were evaluated. Purity >99%; adequate endpoints were examined.

Depression in the multiple-unit electrical activity in the lateral hypothalamus and ventral hippocampus
No maternal toxicity we observed Delayed ossification occurred in both treatment groups, and at 4.48 mg/L increased incidence of resorption occurred
Maternal loxkity was observed at all exposure levels, no developmental loxkity was observed
The study is limtled by the use of only one exposure level.
Authors suggest that the changes in regional brain biogenic amine levels may be partly responsible for altered behavior.

No maternal toxicity; increased number of early resorptions and incidence of relarded skeletal ossification at 1000 ppm
Tlits ts a marginally adequate developmental toxicity study with developmental effects observed at levels not producing maternal toxicity. Dams were exposed 5 hours/day, instead of 6 hours/day.
This study identified a NOAEL of 1000 ppm for maternal lox icily, and a NOAEL of 100 ppm and LOAELof 1000 ppm for developmental toxicity.
Imperial Chemistry Industries, 1977
No maternal toxicity; decreased fetal body weights at M6 and 400 ppm
This is an inadequate study because exposure did not include the later stages of organogenesis, only two doses were tested, and no NOAEL was identified for developmental toxicity.

Although only one exposure level was used, this was likely the highest vapor concentration obtainable
Amoco Corporation, 1988
Additional testing could be required on the subchrontc inhalation toxicity of phthalic anhydride.
No data on the chronic inhalation toxicity of phthalic anhydride were located (Clement, )990d; TSCATS, 1992).
Under the conditions of the assay, phthalic anhydride was not carcinogenic There was, however, a significant trend in alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas in female rats
Thts is an adequate oral study.
Survival was not affected by treatment.

No mortalities were observed. Lacrimatiort, mouth breathing, and closed eyes were the only clinical signs. No gross pathologic lesions were observed
No treatment-related effects were noted on survival, body weight or clinical signs Small but not significant alterations were noted in hematologic parameters among high-exposure females (increased leukocytes, decreased hemoglobin and mean cell volume) but not in males.
An inadequate range of endpoints were studied No hislopathology was performed
Punty was 100%; the concentration used was the highest concentration obtainable under the experimental conditions of this laboratory. This study reported signs of irritation at saturated levels of the compound.

Bardodej and Cirek, 1988
There were no adverse health effects. Only traces of ethylbenzene were found in expired air and only negligible amounts were excreted in the urine; at unspecified higher concentrations, irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract occurred and subjects developed headaches and fatigue
73k study is inadequate because it was designed only as a biotransformation study of ethylbenzene and thus, only a limited number of endpoints were measured
This study identifies aNOAEL of 100 ppm for subjective symptoms in humans.
Bardodej and Bardodejova, 1979
Mortalities were 0/6,3/6, 6/6, and 6/6 for 2000 ppm, 4000 ppm, 8000 ppm, and saturated vapors, respectively
Adverse effects have been reported m workers exposed to ethylbenzene vapor; however, concomitant exposure to other compounds limits interpretation of these studies (Clement, I990g>,

Reference
i Nielsen and Alarie, L982
Additional testing could be required on the acme inhalation toxicity 1 of ethylbenzene because of the limited range of endpoints reported. |
No e fleet was noted on weighl gain. Increased relative kidney weight was noted at 2 and 9 weeks in high-dose animals, but not at 16 weeks. Other effects noted at 600 ppm included changes in hepatocyte ultrastructure, but no necrosis; altered liver and kidney metabolizing enzymes, slightly increased excretion of kidney GSH, but no change in hepatic glutathione
This is not an adequate study because ofthe small group size, use of only males, and the limited endpoints examined.
This study provides evidence that ethylbenzene can induce drug metabolizing enzymes

No histopathology was performed This study identifies a FEL of 1200 ppm for mice and of 2400 ppm for rats, andaNOAELof 2400 ppm for rabbits. This study demonstrates possible portal-ofentry effects, however, since effects on the lungs were observed only in animats that died, the congestion may be merely related to not being Med.

Reference
CHEMTRACK, 1994
No data on the carcinogenicity ofethylbenzene were located (Clement, I990g, TSCATS, 1992). Hislopathology is being evaluated in an NTP inhalation carcinogenicity study tn rats and mice (CHEMTRACK, 1994).
This is an inadequate since the concentration was reduced during the study lo mitigate overt toxicity.
This study was part of a study of a large group of solvents that indicated that many solvents produce ototoxic effects.
Pryor and Rebert, 1993
Marked depletion of striatal and hiberoinfiindibular dopamine was noted in treaied animals
Not a standard neurotoxicity test
Results suggest that dopamine meiabolism is a toxicity target for ethylbenzene.

All dams survived, no other maternal effects were reported In the 6 hour/day exposure group, no embryonic or fetal effects were noted. In the continuous exposure group, significantly (jkOOS) increased percent dead or resorted fetuses and skeletal retardation was seen at 600 mg/m1 and higher, and at 2400 mg/m1, decreased fetal weight and increased incidence of extra ribs and skeletal malformations were seen.
Marginally adequate study The TSCA guidelines require 20 animals/group
No effects were noted on maternal survival. Increased incidence of anomalies of the uropoietic apparatus occurred in treated mice. No other effects were reported.
Inadequate because only one exposure level was used.
No effects were noted on maternal survival, weight gain, or relative liver weight. Decreased fetal body weight occurred at 500 mg/m', and all dams aborted at 1,000 mg/m1.
Inadequate, the number of animals exposed was too small.
It is unclear whether effects were seen in the dams. The tabular presentation included survival of dsns, but no other maternal endpoint

lleppel et at, 19
Adequate acute inhalation toxicity data were not located, but available animal data support findings in humans; acute toxicity signs include squinting and lamination of the eyes, rubbing of tl nose, vertigo, static and motor ataxia, unconsciousness, incoordination of extremities, and congestion of the liver, spleen lungs, adrenal glands, and kidneys. Death was usually ascribed respiratory and circulatory failure (HAD, 1984).
(0 (sex not reported)
Anemia, gramifobtastic, and erythroblastic hyperplasia of bone marrow, altered lives and kidney function, and vascular degeneration and focal necrosis of the liver and kidney were observed.
This study is limited by use of only one test exposure and no reported use of controls

Study Adequacy
There were no significant changes in body weight or tumor incidence.
This study is inadequate because only one exposure level was used and this was nol the highest concentration that could be tested
Increased mortality occurred at 47 mg/kg/day and higher, Dose-related increased incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the foiestomach, hemangiosarcomas of the circulatory system, and subcutaneous fibromas occurred in treated male rats. Incidence of combined mammary fibromas and adenocarcinomas was also dose-related in females
Adequate.
Comments
Addition of disulfiram to the diet, which produced higher ethylene dichlonde levels, resulted in increases in liver, mammary glid (females) and testicular tumors
Evidence of carcinogenicity was seen in both sexes.

Inadequate data are available for evaluating the subchronic inhalation toxicity of ethylene glycol The available data indicate a potential for portal-of-entry effects (HEA, 1987; SRC, 1987).
No data on the chronic inhalation toxicity of ethylene glycol were located (HEA, 1987. S RC, 1987; TSCATS, 1992, NTP, 1993) Chronic oral toxicity data indicate that ethylene glycol is toxic to mice and that target organs are liver, lungs, and kidneys (NTP, 1993).
This is an adequate dietary study; appropriate endpoints were examined following an acceptable protocol.
No effect was noted on survival ofeither sex at any dose

No data on the carcinogenicity of ethylene glycol following inhalation exposme were located (HEA, 1987; SRC, 1987; TSCATS, 1992). Adequate onl dietary carcinogenicity studies conducted in mice provided no evidence of carcinogenic activity of ethyleneglycol. This compound was withdrawn from NTP feeding bioassay (CHEMTRACK, 7/93).

Maternal kidney weights were increased at 1000 and 2500 mg/mJ (no accompanying histologic changes were seen). Developmental toxicity (decreased fetal body weights and increased incidence of skeletal variations) was observed at 2500 mg/m1,
These satellile females were sacrificed immediately after one exposure and washed in hot water to determine the amount of ethylene glycol on the fur. The quantity available for potential ingestion following whole-body exposure to 2100 mg/m1 was 1390 mg/kg, and after nose-only exposure to 2500 mg/m1 was 330 mg/kg.
No maternal toxicity was seen at any treatment level Slightly increased pre implantation toss and significantly increased incidence ofpoorly ossified and unossified vertebra! centra were noted at 1000 mg/kg/dav
This appears to be an adequate study Appendices containing individual animal data were not submitted with the report, but averages for all data points were presented in 12 accompanying tables. This appears to be an adequate study
Adequate.
This study identifies aNOAEL of 2500 mg/m1 for maternal toxicity, and a NOAEL of 1000 mg/mJ and a LOAEL of 2500 mg/m1 for developmental toxicity.

Decreased maternal body weight gain, fetal weight, and litter viability were seen in treated mice
Maternal toxicity was noted at mid- and highdose (decreased body weight gain and gravid uterine weight) Developmental toxicity (decreased average fetal body weight/littef) was noted in all treatment groups, and number of live fetuses/lhter was decreased at high-dose, Malformation incidence (gross, visceral, and skeletal) was increased at all treatment levels
Inadequate because only one exposure group was used and a NOAEL was not identified.

No general toxicity effects were observed, nor were there effects on fertility index, gestation in I7*, F,,or Fj rats, histopathology of testes, epididymis, accessory sex glands, uterus, or ovaries in any generation through F> rats.
No effects were observed in the 0.25% groups At the 1% level, there was a decrease in the number of htters/fetal pairs, live pups/Iitter, and live pup weight (this also occurred in the 0.5% group) En the 1% level, there was an increase in facial and skeletal abnormalities.
At the 1 5% level, there was decreased fertility index, female pups/1 itter, pup weight, and increased pup death during weaning At L 0% and higher, there was facial abnormalities, and ablepharon. In the high dose males, sperm mobility was decreased, the number of abnormal sperm increased, and there was degeneration of the testes
This study is of limited use since there was no evidence of general toxicity in any treatment group, and thus, the dose levels may not have been adequate

Sufficient evidence is available to indicate that ethylene glycol is a reproductive toxicant in male mice exposed continuously to 11% lest material by the otbI route m drinking water. Reproductive toxicity in female mice has not been ruled out.
Information on pharmacokinetics of oral and inhaled ethylene glycol is available in humans and animals (HEA, 1987; TSCATS, 1992; NTP, 9993). It is rapidly absorbed, metabolized, and eliminated m all species tested, and rales vary with dose and route ofexposure.

There were no treatment related deaths. There were intermittent reduced body weights in the mid dose rats and reduced body weights from day 40 to the end of the study in male rats. There was no effect on body weight in the other species. Nasal and ocular irritations were observed m alt groups; this was considered reversible. There were no treatmentrelated hematological or clinical chemistry, urinalysis, or pulmonary function effects
Reduced body weights at 0 032, aid 0.0860 mg/L, numerous upper respiratory lesions were observed at 0.012,0 032, and 0.0860 mg/L, and numerous lung lesions were observed at 0.032 and 0.0860 mg/L
The study appears to be adequate in rats and hamsters.
This is an inadequate study since aNOAEL was not identified.

No maternal toxicity, despite exposure to the predicted LD,,,. Developmental toxicity occurred {decreased neonatal survival, p=0 001, increased gestation length, p<0 01) and neonatal weight gain. p 4 0.001)
Available evidence for diethanolamine suggests a potential for neurotoxicity (TSCATS, 1992) However, the available study was not designed specifically to determine neurotoxicity; thus, more neurotoxicity studies could be required Tor diethanolamine
This is an adequate screening test, but is not adequate to evaluate developmental toxicity since malformations were not studied
The ChemoffT Kavlock preliminary screen score was 19, which represents high priority for testing in a conventional developmental toxicity lest. This is an acceptable screening lest; compound identity was confirmed by gats chromatography using a flame ionization detector

Available evidence for diethanolamine suggests a potential for reproductive toxicity m males (TSCATS. 1992). However, the available study was no! designed specifically lo determine reproductive toxicity, thus, more reproductive toxicity studies could be retpiired for diethanolamine
The only pharmacokinetics study located for diethanolamine used intravenous administration in dogs (TSCATS. 1992).

Comments
Reference
No epidemiological studies were located (HAD, 1915, HEA, 1987, TSCATS, 1992).
This ts an inadequate acute toxicity study because only males were used arid only one concentration was tested.
No LCW could be calculated.
E.I. DuPont de Nemours, 1982
DaU on the acute intostation toxicity of 1,2,4-ttricMorobcnzeee were inadequate (HAD, 19 85; HEA, I9S7;TSCATS, 1992).
This study is limited since only male lest animals were used.
This study identified a LOAEL of 30 ppna; however, the authors indicated that the observed effect might not be toxic.
Rodba, 1981
A limited number ofparameters were examined.
This study identified a LOAEL of JO ppm; however, the authors indicated that the observed effect might not be toxic.
Watanabc et al, 1978
Subchronic inhalation toxicity studies were kx,ated; however, an unequivocal LOAEL was identified (HAD, 1985; HEA, 19*7, TSCATS, 1992).

No effects were noted on survival, body weight* ophthalmic condition, hematological or serum biochemistry, pulmonary function or operant behavior. HistopathologicaJ examination revealed transient mild hepatomegaly and vacuolation in liver parenchymal cells, and hyaline degeneration in the renal cortex in alt test groups at 4 and 13 weeks ofexposure. These changes were not apparent at 26 weeks of exposure.

Inadequate. Only male test animals were used.
Inadequate. Only male test animals were used.
The increase in size and vacuolation of the cytoplasm of hepatocytes may reflect an increase in the amount of endoplasmic reticulum needed to increase detoxifying enzymes.
Coate e( al., 1977
It is not known whether transient changes such as those found in rats occurred here, since interim sacrifices
