Trichlorethylene has been nominated for listing in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) 9th Report on Carcinogens. Evaluation of this substance by the NTP review committees is ongoing (NTP 1997)... 

VX is not listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or National Toxicology Program (NTP) as a carcinogen. 

Benzene is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant characteristic odor, bp 80.1°C, flash point -11.1°C, and ignition temperature 538°C. Benzene has been found to be very toxic and is on the list of Known to Be Human Carcinogens published every two years by the Department of Health and Human Services under the National Toxicology Program (NTP). There are four top 50 chemicals on this worst carcinogen list benzene 1,3-butadiene ethylene oxide and vinyl chloride. There are also four chemicals in the top 50 on the Reasonably Anticipated to Be Human Carcinogens list acrylonitrile, ethylene dichloride, formaldehyde, and propylene oxide. 

High doses of DEHP have been found to cause liver cancer in rats and mice and it is on the Reasonably Anticipated to Be Human Carcinogens list. In 2000 a report by the National Toxicology Program found serious concern that DEHP in vinyl medical devices may harm the reproductive organs of critically ill and premature male infants exposed during medical treatment. They also expressed concern that development of male unborn babies would be harmed by the pregnant mothers exposure to DEHP or that...

The chemical should not contain any chemicals that are a carcinogen or that are known to cause reproductive toxicity. Carcinogens are defined as those chemicals listed in the current edition of the Annual Report on Carcinogens, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Toxicology Program. Chemicals known to cause reproductive toxicity, for example, are defined as those hsted by the state of California under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Cah-fomia Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 2, Subdivision 1, Chapter 3, Sections 1200, et seq.)...

DoU and Peto (1981, 1203) provide a definitive list of human carcinogens. See National Toxicology Program (1994) for the U.S. government s most recent list of carcinogens. 

The FDA removed saccharin from its list of approved food additives in 1972, after it caused bladder tumors in rats. The rats were fed a daily amount of saccharin equivalent to the amount in 875 bottles of diet soda (Schmeck 1972). In late 1997, the scientific advisory panel to the National Toxicology Program (NTP) considered removing saccharin from the NTP s list of suspected carcinogens at the request of NTP scientists but voted 4 to 3 to leave saccharin on the list (Stolberg 1997).
