Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THE AVAILABLE DATA INDICATES THAT
1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE AND THIS MIXTURE ARE NOT CARCINOGENIC IN LAB
ANIMALS. 1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE IS NOT LISTED ON THE OSHA, IARC OR
NTP CARCINOGEN LISTS.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:1,4-DIETHYLENE DIOXIDE AS PURE
SUBSTANCE IS READILY ABSORBED THRU SKIN. INGEST:SINGLE DOSE TOX IS
LOW TO MOD. IF VOMIT OCCURS, 1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE CAN BE ASPIRATED
INTO LUNGS, WHICH CAN CAU SE CHEM PNEUM & SYSTEMIC EFTS.

EPINEPHRINE IN LAB ANIMALS & COULD HAVE SIMILAR EFT IN HUMANS.
ADRENOMIMETICS (E.G.,EPINEPHRINE) MAY BE CON TRAINDICATED EXCEPT
FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING USES IN HUMANS ACUTELY/CHRONICALLY EXPOSTO
CHLOROCARBONS . FINDING OF CHRONIC TOX EFTS IN LAB ANIMALS MAY
INDICATE TOX TO HUMANS. OVEREXP SHOULD BE AVOIDE D, FAILURE TO DO
