Description:

"NIOSH considers the evidence of carcinogenicity of ethylene dichloride reported by the National Cancer Institute to be conclusive in two mammalian species (the rat and the mouse). Since ethylene dichloride causes progressive, malignant disease of various organs in two species of animals, NIOSH recommends that ethylene dichloride be considered carcinogenic in man. Therefore, because it is not presently possible to establish an exposure level at which ethylene dichloride may be regarded to be without risk, NIOSH recommends that exposure to ethylene dichloride be kept as low as feasible. The use of ethylene dichloride as a solvent, diluent, or fumigant in open operations should be prohibited. Product substitution should be a paramount consideration, and wherever ethylene dichloride is identified or its presence suspected, it should be replaced by a less harmful substitute." - NIOSHTIC-2
