WOE Characterization Framework for WOE Characterization
C (Possible human carcinogen) Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1986)
Basis:
  • Based on inadequate human data and limited evidence of carcinogenicity in animals; namely, positive carcinogenic evidence in B6C3Fl mice (males and females), together with positive mutagenicity data, and structural similarity to other trihalomethanes, which are known animal carcinogens.
  • This may be a synopsis of the full weight-of-evidence narrative.
