WOE Characterization Framework for WOE Characterization
D (Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity) Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1986)
Carcinogenic potential cannot be determined Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1996)
Basis:
  • Under the current guidelines (U.S. EPA, 1986), chlorine dioxide is classified as Group D; not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity because of inadequate data in humans and animals. Under the draft Carcinogen Assessment Guidelines (U.S. EPA, 1996), the human carcinogenicity of chlorine dioxide cannot be determined because no satisfactory human or animal studies assessing the chronic carcinogenic potential of chlorine dioxide have been located.
  • This may be a synopsis of the full weight-of-evidence narrative.
