TOXICOLOGY
A number of studies on the health effects of inhalation exposure of rats and hamsters are available. Rats were exposed to RCF in a series of
Animals exposed to 30 and 16 mg/m3 were observed to have developed a pleural and parenchymal fibroses; animals ex- posed to 9 mg/m3 had developed a mild parenchymal fibrosis; animals exposed to the lowest dose were found to have the response typically observed any time a material is inhaled into the deep lung. While a statistically significant in- crease in lung tumors was observed following exposure to the highest dose, there was no excess lung cancers at the other doses. Two rats exposed to 30 mg/m3 and one rat exposed to 9 mg/m3 developed masotheliomas.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviewed the carcinogenicity data on
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT
