Evaluation of the potential carcinogenicity of benz(c)acridine. Final report

Technical Report · Wed Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:6521476

Benz(c)acridine is a possible human carcinogen, classified as weight-of-evidence Group C under the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment. Evidence on potential carcinogenicity from animal studies is Limited, and the evidence from human studies is No Data. Data available are inadequate for calculating a potency factor and no quantitative inferences can be made. Hence, benz(c)acridine is assigned to potency group 2, the mid-range potency group. Combining the weight-of-evidence group and the potency group, benz(c)acridine is assigned a LOW hazard ranking for the purposes of RQ adjustment.
