sufficient evidence from studies in experimental animals.

ACGIH A5: Not suspected as a human carcinogen: Not suspected as a human carcinogen on the

basis of properly conducted epidemiologic studies in humans.

Studies have sufficiently long follow-up, reliable exposure histories, sufficiently high dose, and

adequate statistical power to conclude that exposure to the agent does not convey a significant risk of

cancer to humans. Evidence suggesting a lack of carcinogenicity in experimental animals will be

considered if it is supported byother relevant data.
