摘要：

Chloroform produces cancer by a nongenotoxic-cytotoxic mode of action, with no increased cancer risk expected at noncytotoxic doses. The default risk assessment for inhaled chloroform relies on liver tumor incidence from a gavage study with female B6C3F(1) mice and estimates a virtually safe dose (VSD) at an airborne concentration of 0.000008 ppm of chloroform. In contrast, a 1000-fold safety factor applied to the NOAEL for liver cytotoxicity from inhalation studies yields a VSD of 0.01 ppm. This estimate relies on inhalation data and is more consistent with the mode of action of chloroform.
