The highest NOAEL values for developmental effects in each species are recorded in Table 2-2 and plotted in Figure 2-2. The weight of evidence in experimental animal studies suggests that 1,1,1-trichloroethane is not a developmental toxicant when administered orally however, this conclusion is limited by the use of low doses in some of the studies. Epidemiology studies found no evidence that exposure to 1,1,1-trichloroethane was responsible for the cluster of adverse pregnancy outcomes in Santa Clara County, California.

The natural mercury mineralization at New Almaden is apparently responsible for most of the mercury contamination in Santa Clara County. The mercury vapor above these ore deposits has been known for a number of years (4). However, the route by which the mercury entered the local water reservoirs is not known. Certainly the air movement can act as a transporter of the gaseous mercury.

While a number of sophisticated, artificial UV sources are utilized in semiconductor cleanrooms, the highest exposures to UV light in the actinic region typically occurs outside the buildings. On a surmy day in Santa Clara County, California, the effective UV irradiance approximately equals the 15-minute TLV for UV.
