In a carcinogenesis bioassay of the brominated hydrocarbon 1,2-dibromoethane (also called ethylene dibromide or EDB), a gasoline and antiknock additive and soil and grain fumigant, oral administration by stomach tube caused cancers in rats and mice. In both sexes of both species, EDB induced squamous cell carcinomas of the forestomach. Blood vessel cancers in male rats, liver cancers in female rats, and lung cancers in male and female mice also were attributed to EDB dosage.
在对溴代烃1,2 - 二溴乙烷（也称为二溴乙烯或EDB，一种汽油抗爆添加剂以及土壤和谷物熏蒸剂）进行的致癌生物测定中，通过胃管经口给药导致大鼠和小鼠患癌。在这两个物种的雌雄两性中，EDB均诱发了前胃鳞状细胞癌。雄性大鼠的血管癌、雌性大鼠的肝癌以及雄性和雌性小鼠的肺癌也都归因于EDB剂量。
