A closer look
What the research shows
Safety assessment
The assessment distinguished polymers made without benzene from those polymerized in benzene, for which data were insufficient.
What this does not tell us
The report relies partly on read-across and monomer information; its conditional conclusion is not an efficacy result or a guarantee for an unknown manufacturing process.
