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

OSTI ID:6524060

Benzotrichloride is a probable human carcinogen, classified as weight-of-evidence Group B1 under the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment. Evidence on potential carcinogenicity from animal studies is Sufficient, and the evidence from human studies is Limited. The potency factor (F) for benzotrichloride is estimated to be 58.0 (mg/kg/day)(-1), placing it in potency group 2 according to the CAG's methodology for evaluating potential carcinogens. Combining the weight-of-evidence group and the potency group, benzotrichloride is assigned a MEDIUM hazard ranking.
