Description (incidence and severity):
fibrosarcoma of the salivary gland in both sexes at 50,000 ppm
Details on results:
The only reported finding of significance was an increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms, due mainly to fibrosarcoma of the
salivary gland in both sexes at 50,000 ppm. The incidence of these tumors was significant only after 25 months.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The only reported finding of significance was an increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms, due mainly to fibrosarcoma of the
salivary gland in both sexes at 50,000 ppm.
Executive summary:
Oncogenicity was evaluated in male and female Alderley Park rats               
(80/sex/group) exposed to chlorodifluoromethane via inhalation at 0 (2         
groups), 1000, 10,000 and 50,000 ppm for 5 hrs/day, 5 days/week for 27-30      
months.  The only reported finding of significance was an increase in the incidence of malignant neoplasms, due mainly to fibrosarcoma of the salivary gland in both sexes at 50,000 ppm. The incidence of these tumors was significant only after 25 m
