Difluoromethane (HFC32) is under development as a replacement for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in some refrigeration applications. It has been evaluated by standard studies of toxicity, developmental toxicity, and genotoxicity. In addition, the metabolism and disposition of HFC32 was investigated and a
