Test substance: 99.93% pure.<br />

Flag: Risk Assessment<br />

01–JUL–2005 (731)<br />

Species: other: mouse and rat Sex: male/female<br />

Strain: other: RF/J, Swiss, Sprague–Dawley, Wistar<br />

Route of administration: other: gavage and inhalation<br />

Exposure period: 52–104 weeks<br />

Frequency of treatment: 4 to 7 hr/day, 5 days/week (inhalation) or 4 to 5<br />

days/week (gavage)<br />

Post exposure period: 0 to 52 weeks<br />

Doses: inhalation, 0, 200, 300 ppm; gavage, 0, 50, 250, 500<br />

mg/kg<br />

Control Group: yes, concurrent vehicle<br />

Method: other: nonguideline<br />

Year: 1989<br />

GLP: no data<br />

Test substance: as prescribed by 1.1 – 1.4<br />

Result: Benzene is carcinogenic when administered by ingestion and<br />

by inhalation and that it cause tumors in the various<br />

testedanimal models (Sprague–Dawley rats, Wistar rats, Swiss<br />

mice,and RF/J mice). Benzene is a multipotential<br />

carcinogen, as it produces a variety of neoplasias in one or<br />

more of the tested animal models, including Zymbal gland<br />

carcinomas, carcinomas of the oral cavity, nasal cavities,<br />

skin, forestomach, and mammary glands, as well as<br />

angiosarcomas ofthe liver, hemolymphoreticular neplasias and<br />

tumors of the lung. The experiments also indicated a<br />

clear–cut dose–response relationship in benzene<br />

carcinogenesis.<br />
