WOE Characterization Framework for WOE Characterization
Data are inadequate for an assessment of human carcinogenic potential Revised Draft Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (US EPA, 1999)
Basis:
  • Under the Draft Revised Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1999), data are inadequate for an assessment of the carcinogenic potential of hydrogen sulfide.
  • This may be a synopsis of the full weight-of-evidence narrative.
