List of IARC Group 2A carcinogens

List of IARC Group 2A carcinogens

Substances, mixtures and exposure circumstances in this list have been classified by the IARC as "Group 2A: The agent (mixture) is probably carcinogenic to humans. The exposure circumstance entails exposures that are probably carcinogenic to humans." This category is used when there is "limited evidence" of carcinogenicity in humans and "sufficient evidence" of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. In some cases, an agent (mixture) may be classified in this category when there is "inadequate evidence" of carcinogenicity in humans and "sufficient evidence" of carcinogenicity in experimental animals and strong evidence that the carcinogenesis is mediated by a mechanism that also operates in humans. Exceptionally, an agent, mixture or exposure circumstance may be classified in this category solely on the basis of "limited evidence" of carcinogenicity in humans. Further details can be found in the [http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Classification/crthgr02a.php IARC Monographs] .
