Ecological:OTHER INFO (CONT): "INADEQUATE" EVIDENCE OF
    CARCINOGENICITTY. BECAUSE ONLY A LIMITED RESPONSE OCCURRED, NTP
    INTERPRETED THESE STUDIES AS SHOWING "SOME" EVIDENCE OF
    CARCINOGENICITY. THE NATURE OF THE T UMOR RESPONSES (I.E.: NO
    EFFECT IN MICE;SOME EFFECT IN RATS) AND OTHER CONCERNS ABOUT THE
    CONDUCT OF THE STUDIES (E.G. FORCE FEEDING AN AMOUNT OF MBT WHICH
    MAY HAVE EXCEEDED THE MAXIMUM TOLERABLE DOSE ) MAKES IT DIFFICULT
    TO CLEARLY ASSES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESULTS TO THOSE WHO WORK
    WITH MBT. WE RECOMMEND THAT WORKER EXPOSURE TO MBT SHOULD BE

    INFO (CONT): NEGATIVE RESULTS. AN INCREASE IN BIRTH DEFECTS WAS
    OBSERVED IN GROUPS OF RATS AND MICE GIVEN MBTD BY STOMACH TUBE, BUT
    ONLY AT DOSES THAT PR ODUCE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON MOTHERS. NO EFFECTS
    WERE OBSERVED IN THE OTHER DOSE GROUPS. HOWEVER, AN INCREASE IN
    EMBRYO DEATH AND POST IMPLANTATION LOSSES WAS REPORTED IN ANOTHER
    STUDY USING RATS. SIMILAR  RESULTS WERE REPORTED IN A FERTILITY
    STUDY ALSO USING RATS.
