lowest concentration to cause a symptom; TDo, LDLo, LDo, TC, TCo, LCLo,
and LCo, the lowest dose (or concentration) to cause lethal or toxic effects. BEI
- Biological Exposure Indices, represent the levels of determinants which are
most likely to be observed in specimens collected from a healthy worker who
has been exposed to chemicals to the same extent as a worker with inhalation
exposure to the TLV. Ecological Information: EC is the effect concentration in
water.
Data from several sources are used to evaluate the cancer-causing potential of
the material. The sources and ratings are: IARC - the International Agency for
Research on Cancer; 1 = Carcinogenic to humans, 2A, 2B = Probably
carcinogenic to humans, 3 = Unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans, and
4 = Probably not carcinogenic to humans. NTP - the National Toxicology
Program; K =Known to be a human carcinogen, and R = Reasonably anticipated
to be a human carcinogen. RTECS - the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical
Substances. OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration and
CAL/OSHA - California's subunit of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration; Ca = Carcinogen defined with no further categorization.
ACGIH ?American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists; A1 =
Confirmed human carcinogen, A2 = Suspected human carcinogen, A3 =
Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans, A4 = Not
classifiable as a human carcinogen, and A5 = Not suspected as a human
carcinogen. NIOSH ?U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health; Ca = Potential occupational carcinogen, with no further categorization.
EPA ?U.S. Environmental Protection; A = Human carcinogen, B = Probable
human carcinogen, C = Possible human carcinogen, D = Not classifiable as to
human carcinogenicity, E = Evidence of Non-carcinogenicity for humans, K =
Known human carcinogen, L = Likely to produce cancer in humans, CBD =
Cannot be determined, NL = Not likely to be carcinogenic in humans, and I =
Data are inadequate for an assessment of human carcinogenic potential.
