CAS No.: 14484-64-1
Chem. Abstr. Name: Tris(dimethylcarbamodithioato-S,S')iron
5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal carcinogenicity data
Ferbam has been tested by oral administration in mice and rats and by
single subcutaneous injection in mice. Although no carcinogenic effect
was observed in these tests, the available data are insufficient for
an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of this compound to be made.
Ferbam can react with nitrite under mildly acid conditions, simulating
those in the human stomach, to form N-nitrosodimethylamine, which has
been shown to be carcinogenic in seven animal species (IARC, 1972).
5.2 Human carcinogenicity data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 63: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
