Abstract
The weight-of-evidence for cacodylic acid is Group D under the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment. Evidence on the potential carcinogenicity for cacodylic acid from animal studies is 'inadequate', and the evidence from human studies is 'No Data'. Organic arsenic compounds such as cacodylic acid are considered to be chemically different from the inorganic arsenic compounds, and are, therefore, assessed for carcinogenicity separately from the inorganic compounds. Since there are no data implicating organic arsenic compounds, the carcinogenicity is indeterminant at this time. The lack of human data and the inadequate data from animal studies prevent the calculation of a potency factor (F), the assignment of a potency group and the assignment of a hazard ranking at this time.
