Abstract

For more than twenty years, the IARC has been evaluating the carcinogenic risk to humans of chemicals, groups of chemicals, complex mixtures, occupational exposures, behavioral and life-style exposures, biological agents, such as bacteria and viruses, and physical agents, such as radiation, on the basis of published studies of carcinogenicity in humans and laboratory animals. This paper includes the list established by IARC of substances carcinogenic to humans.
