Ethyl benzene is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans
Chronic (Long Term) Toxicity:
(2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans and sufficient evidence
in laboratory animals. Lifetime inhalation exposure of rats and mice to
high ethylbenzene concentrations resulted in increases in certain types
of cancer, including kidney tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in
mice. There is no evidence that ethylbenzene causes cancer in
humans.
Methanol has produced fetotoxicity in rats and teratogenicity in mice
exposed by inhalation to high concentrations that did not produce
significant maternal toxicity.
Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to
solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducted a two year
inhalation study of ethylbenzene vapor on laboratory animals. The study
revealed that ethylbenzene vapor at 750 ppm produced kidney and
testicular tumors in rats and lung and liver tumors in mice. Human data
is not available at this time.
Xylenes consist of a mixture of ortho, meta, and para xylene isomers
and 5-15% ethylbenzene. Laboratory animal studies show that rats
exposed to xylene vapor during pregnancy showed embryo/fetotoxic
effects. Mice exposed orally to doses producing maternal toxicity also
showed embryo/fetotoxic effects. Ethylbenzene has been shown to
cause tumors in laboratory animals at HIGH inhalation exposures (750
ppm). Tumors were not observed in laboratoy animals at LOWER (<250
ppm). Human data is not available.
