Administrative data

Endpoint:
basic toxicokinetics
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Studies based on which the toxicokinetic behaviour of the substance can be derived, considered acceptable for assessment. Also peer-reviewed under Regulation 793/93.

Data source

Reference
Reference Type:
other: EU Risk Assessment Report (RAR)
Title:
Trichloroethylene
Author:
Rapporteur: United Kingdom, on behalf of the European Union
Year:

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Toxicokinetic studies

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Trichloroethylene
EC Number:
201-167-4
EC Name:
Trichloroethylene
Cas Number:
79-01-6
Molecular formula:
C2HCl3
IUPAC Name:
1,1,2-trichloroethene
Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
trichloroethene

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
other: Oral and Inhalation

Results and discussion

Main ADME results
Type:
other: see summary of studies in attachment
Results:
Studies in experimental animals have shown that trichloroethylene is rapidly and extensively absorbed by all routes of exposure. Once absorbed it readily distributes to all compartments within the body.
