Carcinogenicity
In 2012 USEPA Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) reviewed a two species inhalation
lifetime study on THF conducted by NTP (1998). Male rats developed renal tumors and female
mice developed liver tumors while neither the female rats nor the male mice showed similar
results. Because the carcinogenic mechanisms could not be identified clearly in either species for
either tumor, the EPA determined that the male rat and female mouse findings are relevant to the
assessment of carcinogenic potential in humans. Therefore, the IRIS review concludes that these
data in aggregate indicate that there is "suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential" following
exposure to THF by all routes of exposure.
