Toxicological Profile for 1,1-Dichloroethane
CAS#: 75-34-3
Toxicological Profile Information
The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described here. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The complete list of topics covered (chapter titles) is shown at the left and in more detail further down this page.
The focus of the profile is on health and toxicologic information.
Therefore, each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in nontechnical
language, a substance's relevant properties.
A useful two page information sheet, the ToxFAQâ„¢, is also available.
