Pulmonary toxicity and carcinogenicity of trichloroethylene: species differences and modes of action.
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is both acutely toxic and carcinogenic to the mouse lung following exposure by inhalation. In contrast, it is not carcinogenic in the rat lung and is markedly less toxic following acute exposure. Toxicity to the mouse lung is confined almost exclusively to the nonciliated Clara cell and is characterized by vacuolation and increases in cell replication. Chloral, a metabol...
متن کاملMetabolism of trichloroethylene.
A major focus in the study of metabolism and disposition of trichloroethylene (TCE) is to identify metabolites that can be used reliably to assess flux through the various pathways of TCE metabolism and to identify those metabolites that are causally associated with toxic responses. Another important issue involves delineation of sex- and species-dependent differences in biotransformation pathw...
متن کاملTrichloroethylene (TCE)
Current evaluation Conclusion from the previous Monograph: Trichloroethylene (TCE) is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A) based on limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of TCE and sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of TCE. In making the overall evaluation, the Working Group considered the following evidence: (i) although the hypothesis linkin...
متن کامل[Trichloroethylene poisoning].
Trichloroethylene and trichloroethanol were given intraperitoneally to guinea-pigs. Their effects were tested by measuring the threshold current intensity of electrical skin stimulation, the electrical excitability of the motor cerebral cortex, by recording and analysis of the electroencephalogram, and by electrocardiographic examination. The two compounds had similar effects on the nervous sys...
متن کاملExposure assessment of trichloroethylene.
This article reviews exposure information available for trichloroethylene (TCE) and assesses the magnitude of human exposure. The primary sources releasing TCE into the environment are metal cleaning and degreasing operations. Releases occur into all media but mostly into the air due to its volatility. It is also moderately soluble in water and can leach from soils into groundwater. TCE has com...
