| Abstract | Vinyl Chloride is a human carcinogen, classified as weight-of-evidence Group A under the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment. Evidence on potential carcinogenicity from animal studies is 'Sufficient', and the evidence from human studies is 'Sufficient'. The potency factor (F) for vinyl chloride is estimated to be 18.1 (mg/kg/day)-1, placing it in potency group 2, according to the CAG's methodology for evaluating potential carcinogens. Combining the weight-of-evidence group and the potency group, vinyl chloride is assigned a 'HIGH' hazard ranking. |
