comprehensive review of animal data was beyond the scope of this project.
However, in some instances animal data were included and influenced the
listing. This is particularly likely when an authoritative body, such asthe
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the NationalToxicology
Program, or California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
(OEHHA), which administers the Proposition 65 program, used animal data
as the primary source for their evaluations.
Other main sources of data are three major textbooks on the topic ofenvironmental medicine and toxicology:
1. Klaassen CD, Ed. *Casarett and Doull's Toxicology: TheBasic Scienceof Poisons, 6th edition*. (2001) McGraw-Hill publishing, New York.
2. LaDou J. Ed. *Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 3rd edition*(2004), Lange Medical/McGraw-Hill, New York.
3. Rom WM, Ed. *Environmental and Occupational Medicine, 3rd edition*(1998). Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia, PA.
