| Abstract |
This monograph presents the views and expert opinions of an IARC working group which met in Lyon, France, 13-20 October 1998. 21 chemicals or classes of chemicals were reviewed: eight were rated 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) and 13 were classified 3 (not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans). For each chemical, the following aspects are covered: exposure data; studies of cancer in humans; studies of cancer in experimental animals; other data relevant to an evaluation of carcinogenicity and its mechanisms; summary of reported data and evaluation. The chemicals are: allyl isothiocyanate; ortho-anisidine; atrazine; butyl benzyl phthalate; chloroform; chlorothalonil (= 2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalonitrile); cyclamates; dichlorobenzenes; hexachlorobutadiene; hexachloroethane; d-limonene; melamine; methyl tert-butyl ether; nitrilotriacetic acid and its salts; paracetamol (= acetaminophen); ortho-phenylphenol and its sodium salt; potassium bromate; quercetin; saccharin and its salts; simazine. |
