Onthebasisofcarcinogenicandtumorigenicresponsesinratsandmice,NIOSHrecommendsthatmethylenechlorideberegardedasapotentialoccupationalcarcinogen.(Ref.5.3.)
1.1.3.Workplaceexposure
Methylenechlorideisusedmainlyasasolventinpaintremovers,aerosolmixtures,chemicalreactionprocessesandasablowingagentforflexiblefoams.Photography,metal-work,refrigeration,chemicalprocessing,pharmaceutical,flexiblefoam,andfoodindustriesusemethylenechloride.(Ref.5.8.)Methylenechloridehasbeenusedtoextractheat-sensitivenaturallyoccurringsubstances,suchascocoa,ediblefats,spices,andbeerhops.Ithasalsobeenusedinthedecaffeinationofcoffee.(Ref.5.7.)
Approximately230millionkilogramsofmethylenechloridewereproducedintheUnitedStatesin1988.(Ref.5.9.)In1986,NIOSHestimatedthat1millionworkerswerepotentiallyexposedtomethylenechloride.(Ref.5.5.)
