Cancer Risk Information
2005 USEPA Cancer Risk Category: Multiple Descriptors

Interpreting Cancer Risk HTML PDF
Species and Tumor Types: Intestinal adenomas and adenocarcinomas in CD-1 mice (M & F). Cytotoxicity and Regenerative Proliferation MOA established.
NOTE: Cancer risk classifications are specific to active ingredients, not products. To arrive at an overall health or cancer risk evaluation for a pesticide product, active ingredient cancer risk information should be used together with other risk and exposure information, such as USEPA Risk Management Decision Documents (REDs, IREDs, TREDs, and others).
USEPA Risk Management Documents
USEPA risk management decision documents provide chemical-specific risk assessment information for active ingredients evaluated by the USEPA for use in pesticide products. For more information, see Pesticide Registration HTML.
