Carbon disulfide Quickview (CASRN 75-15-0)

Health assessment information on a chemical substance is included in IRIS only after a comprehensive review of toxicity data by U.S. EPA health scientists from several Program Offices, Regional Offices, and the Office of Research and Development.

Disclaimer: This QuickView represents a snapshot of key information. We suggest that you read the IRIS Summary to put this information into complete context.

For definitions of terms in the IRIS Web site, refer to the IRIS Glossary.

Chronic Health Hazard Assessments for Noncarcinogenic Effects

Reference Dose for Chronic Oral Exposure (RfD)

Critical Effect
Point of Departure*
UF MF RfD
Fetal toxicity/ malformations NOEL : 11 mg/kg-day 100 1 1 x10-1 mg/kg-day

* The Point of Departure listed serves as a basis from which the Oral RfD was derived. See Discussion of Conversion Factors and Assumptions for more details.

Reference Concentration for Chronic Inhalation Exposure (RfC)

Critical Effect
Point of Departure*
UF MF RfC
Peripheral nervous system dysfunction BMC10 (HEC): 19.7 mg/m3 30 1 7x10-1 mg/m3

* The Point of Departure listed serves as a basis from which the Inhalation RfC was derived. See Discussion of Conversion Factors and Assumptions for more details.
