Abstract
Toluene is included on the List of Priority Substances to be assessed under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Based on available data, it was concluded that toluene is “unlikely to be carcinogenic to humans”. The estimated average daily intakes of toluene for various age groups in the general population are 68 to 131 times less than the tolerable daily intake derived on the basis of data from bioassays in animal species and that calculated from clinical studies in human volunteers.
