Monograph on Human Exposure to Chemicals in the Workplace: Methylene Chloride

摘要

The report presents a summary and evaluation of information relevant to an occupational hazard assessment of the chemical. Pertinent toxicologic data were located through on-line and manual literature searches for the period extending back approximately ten years from 1984. No attempt was made to exhaustively review the toxicologic literature; where appropriate the reader is referred to comprehensive reviews on the topic. Special attention in the report was focused on summarizing the available information regarding the carcinogenic potential of the chemical.
