Health Effects Assessment for Toxaphene (1987)

Abstract

The report summarizes and evaluates information relevant to a preliminary interim assessment of adverse health effects associated with Toxaphene. All estimates of acceptable intakes and carcinogenic potency presented in this document should be considered as preliminary and reflect limited resources allocated to this project. The intent in these assessments is to suggest acceptable exposure levels whenever sufficient data are available. The interim values presented reflect the relative degree of hazard associated with exposure or risk to the chemical(s) addressed. Whenever possible, two categories of values have been estimated for systemic toxicants.
