IARC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer headquartered in Lyon, France, operates under the auspices of the World Health Organization. IARC convenes groups of scientists from around the globe three times a year, and these Working Groups evaluate the weight of the evidence that an agent, chemical compound, complex mixtures (including ind...
IARC classifies compounds into four groups based on the available scientific evidence for increasing cancer risk in animals and humans. In 2019, IARC revised its classifications. The four classifications are Groups 1, 2A, 2B and 3. For definitions of these groups, please see the Preamble. For more information on IARC methods and classifications, pl...
Of the more than 900 substances classified by IARC to date, only one chemical compound has been classified as Group 4 (probably not carcinogenic to humans). Over 500 substances have been classified as Group 3 (not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity), and over 400 have received a classification of Group 2B or higher. For a complete list of IARC ...
IARC defines a Group 2B classification as “the agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans.” This category is used by IARC when there is only limited scientific evidence in human studies that a compound increases cancer risk in humans and when there is sufficient evidence of an increased cancer risk in experimental animals. IARC also uses information ...
The IARC Monographs identify environmental factors that are carcinogenic hazards to humans. These include chemicals, complex mixtures, occupational exposures, physical agents, biological agents, and lifestyle factors.
