| Abstract |
. Additional lifetime cancer risks for vinyl bromide amounts to 4 x 10-5 for 40 years of occupational exposure to 0.012mg/m3, and 4 x 10-3 for 40 years of occupational exposure to 1.2mg/m3. Main topics covered: carcinogenicity studies and selection of the study suitable for risk estimation in occupational situations; carcinogenic activity in experimental animals, life-time low-dose exposure; health risk to humans; health risk to workers; calculation of the health-based calculated occupational cancer risk values; existing occupational exposure limits; toxicity profile existing occupational exposure limits; toxicity profile (acute toxicity, repeated-dose toxicity).
