Abstract: 

In 2018, the German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has re-evaluated the correlation between inhalation exposure to pentachlorophenol [87-86‑5] and urinary pentachlorophenol  excretion (exposure equivalents for carcinogenic substances (EKA)). The re-evaluation of the available literature led to the conclusion that the present data are limited and all available studies show limitations regarding to air exposure assessment and characterisation of possible dermal exposure of the workers. Thus, the EKA were withdrawn.
