carbon tetrachloride and Diseases, Occupational

carbon tetrachloride has been researched along with Diseases, Occupational in 31 studies

Carbon Tetrachloride: A solvent for oils, fats, lacquers, varnishes, rubber waxes, and resins, and a starting material in the manufacturing of organic compounds. Poisoning by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption is possible and may be fatal. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
tetrachloromethane : A chlorocarbon that is methane in which all the hydrogens have been replaced by chloro groups.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" A causal association between exposure to benzene and an increased risk of leukemia is well-established, as well as a suggested risk of lung and nasopharynx cancer in a Chinese cohort."4.79Organic solvents and cancer. ( Anttila, A; Hemminki, K; Lynge, E, 1997)
" Diabetics and persons who drink alcohol may have an increased risk of adverse effects following exposure to carbon tetrachloride."1.28Carbon tetrachloride toxicity. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. ( , 1992)
"Of these cancers, only lymphosarcoma and lymphatic leukemia showed significant positive associations with any of the potential solvent exposures."1.27Cancer mortality and solvent exposures in the rubber industry. ( Checkoway, H; Marshall, EG; Tyroler, HA; Wilcosky, TC, 1984)
" We applaud the EPA's decision to ban the use of 80/20 fumigants and also methyl bromide, and trust that similar toxic substances be carefully studied before their selection for replacing these previous toxic agents."1.27Synergistic neurotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride/carbon disulfide (80/20 fumigants) and other pesticides in grain storage workers. ( Chapman, L; Levine, RL; Matthews, CG; Peters, HA; Sauter, S, 1986)
"The increased risk for malignant neoplasms resulted primarily from an excess of lung and cervical cancer and slight excesses of leukemia and liver cancer."1.26Causes of death among laundry and dry cleaning workers. ( Blair, A; Decoufle, P; Grauman, D, 1979)
