Risk assessments for vinyl chloride (VC) and trichloroethylene (TCE) are presented as examples of approaches for incorporating chemical-specific pharmacokinetic and mechanistic information into a more scientifically plausible cancer risk assessment. For VC, the evidence regarding mode of action includes direct
