Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested n-hexane based on analogue read across.

This profile includes studies describing the effects of exposure to n-hexane. No inhalation exposure studies (including occupational exposures) were found that described death in humans following inhalation exposure to n-hexane. The substance is not classifiable as to its human carcinogenicity. Applicable regulations and guidelines are also outlined.
