Abstract

We notified the Office of Toxic Substances that we had observed a weak teratogenic effect (small or absent eyes) in rats exposed to fluorocarbon 22 (chlorodifluoromethane, FC-22). Although we were not certain of the significance of this finding for humans, we took the prudent action of notifying certain government agencies, our employees, customers and other manufacturers about it. Additionally, we took measures to protect our female employees of child-bearing potential from exposure to FC-22 in the workplace.
