Not likely to be carcinogenic to humans | Revised Draft Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1999) |
- Under U.S. EPAs 1999 Draft Revised Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment, perchlorate is not likely to pose a risk of thyroid cancer in humans, at least at doses below those necessary to alter thyroid hormone homeostasis, based on the hormonally-mediated mode of action in rodent studies and species differences in thyroid function.
