| Use Information |
1,1,2-Trichloroethane is used as a chemical intermediate and a solvent. No information is available on the acute (short-term), chronic (long-term), developmental, reproductive, or carcinogenic effects of 1,1,2-trichloroethane in humans. The only effect that has been noted in humans is stinging and burning sensations of the skin upon dermal exposure to the chemical. Acute animal studies have reported effects on the liver, kidney, and central nervous system (CNS) from inhalation and oral exposure to 1,1,2-trichloroethane, while chronic animal studies have reported effects on the liver and immune system from oral exposure. An animal study reported liver tumors and adrenal tumors in mice, but no tumors in rats, exposed to 1,1,2-trichloroethane by gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach). EPA has classified 1,1,2-trichloroethane as a Group C, possible human carcinogen. |
