Abstract INTRODUCTION 1-Bromopropane (n-propyl bromide, CASRN 106-94-5) is a brominated hydrocarbon that is currently used as a solvent in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Exposure to workers has been increasing in the past few years due to several new applications in which 1-bromopropane has been substituted for substances identified as suspect carcinogens or ozone-depleting chemicals. The available occupational exposure data indicate that workers can be exposed to high levels of 1-bromopropane. 1-Bromopropane was selected as a candidate substance for the Report on Carcinogens (RoC) due to the potential for substantial human exposure to 1-bromopropane in the United States, and an adequate database to evaluate its potential carcinogenicity. 1-Bromopropane has been tested for carcinogenicity in rodents in a 2-year inhalation study (NTP 2011a). In addition, 1-bromopropane causes toxicity in people and experimental animals. Structurally related haloalkanes are carcinogenic in experimental animals.
