1,1,1 - Trichloroethane - Environmental Health Criteria 136
(1992)
1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon which is manufactured from vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride by chlorination. The world production was approximately 680 000 tonnes in 1988. It is a colourless, ...
2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) - Environmental Health Criteria 29
(1984)
All exposure determinations and risk assessments ultimately depend on accurate chemical analyses, and therefore some critical aspects of analysis for 2,4-D residues have been included in the present document. The available ...
Guide to Short-Term Tests for Detecting Mutagenic and Carcinogenic Chemicals - Environmental Health Criteria 51
(1985)
This document represents the views of ICPFMC and is published by IPCS in an attempt to stimulate scientific discussion, as well as to provide guidance on the use of genotoxicity tests in chemical safety programmes. Although ...
Summary Report on the Evaluation of Short-term Tests for Carcinogens (Collaborative Study on In Vivo Tests) - Environmental Health Criteria 109
(1990)
The first part of this project, dealing with in vitro studies, was published in 1985 (Ashby et al., 1985) and was summarized in Environmental Health Criteria 47 (WHO, 1985). The second part, which is the subject of this ...
Principles for Evaluating Health Risks to Progeny Associated with Exposure to Chemicals during Pregnancy - Environmental Health Criteria 30
(1984)
This document is intended to aid in the design and assessment of studies concerned with exploring the association between exposure to chemicals during pregnancy and defective development. This document includes a description ...
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polychlorinated Terphenyls (PCTs) Health and Safety Guide 68
(1992)
The PCBs are chlorinated hydrocarbons that are manufactured commercially by the progressive chlorination of biphenyl in the presence of a suitable catalyst (e.g., iron chloride). Depending on the reaction conditions, the ...
Evaluation of Short-Term Tests for Carcinogens: Report of the International Programme on Chemical Safety's Collaborative Study on in Vitro Assays - Progress in Mutation Research Volume 5
(1985)
The collaborative study on in vitro assays forms part of a large collaborative study on short-term tests for genotoxicity and carcinogenicity which is one of the most extensive international cooperative attempts to clarify ...
