Toxicological profile for cresols: O-cresol; p-cresol; m-cresol. Final report

Technical Report · Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6899616

The ATSDR Toxicological Profile is intended to characterize succinctly the toxicological and health effects information for cresols. It identifies and reviews the key literature that describes cresols' toxicological properties. Other literature is presented but described in less detail. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The profile begins with a public health statement, which describes in nontechnical language cresols' relevant toxicological properties. Following the statement is material that presents levels of significant human exposure and, where known, significant health effects. The adequacy of information to determine cresols' health effects is described. Research gaps in nontoxic and health effects information are described. Research gaps that are of significance to the protection of public health will be identified in a separate effort. The focus of the document is on health and toxicological information.
