Chlorinated hydrocarbons and cancer: epidemiologic aspects. 1980

O Axelson

Available epidemiologic information related to halogenated hydrocarbons and cancer is reviewed. Many chlorinated hydrocarbons, both pesticides and solvents, have been shown to possess mutagenic or carcinogenic properties in bacterial test systems and animal experiments. Rather few substances have been associated with human cancer, but relatively few studies have been conducted.
