(a) Year in brackets: year in which the evaluation was published
subsequent to the Supplement 7 Working Group for agents,
mixtures and exposure circumstances considered in Volumes 43-58
of the Monographs.
(b) This evaluation applies to the group of chemicals as a whole and not
necessarily to all individual chemicals within the group.
(c) There is also conclusive evidence that these agents have a protective
effect against cancers of the ovary and endometrium.
(d) Overall evaluation upgraded from 2B to 2A with supporting evidence from
other relevant data.
(e) Overall evaluation upgraded from 3 to 2B with supporting evidence from
other relevant data.
