COMMENTS Applauds EPA’s move to classify CHCl3 as THRESHOLD CARCINOGEN
EPA’s decision on CHCl3 will likely affect the agency’s risk characterization for other chemicals for which there are data indicating they are threshold carcinogens. These include CH2O & some chlorinated solvents
EPA’s new risk characterization indicates that liver toxicity is the health risk of greatest concern. So the new CHCl3 MCLG likely will be based on protec
ting public health from liver effects not cancer
