| Abstract | Pentachlorophenol cannot be identified as a potential human carcinogen, therefore, it is classified as weight-of-evidence Group D under the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment. Evidence on potential carcinogenicity from animal studies is 'Inadequate', and the evidence from human studies is 'No Data'. The potency factor (F) for pentachlorophenol cannot be estimated according to the CAG's methodology for evaluating potential carcinogens because of lack of positive data. Since pentachlorophenol is in weight-of-evidence Group D and has no potency group (due to insufficient data), pentachlorophenol is not assigned a hazard ranking based on potential carcinogenicity and other criteria must be used for the purposes of RQ adjustment. |
