Some halogenated hydrocarbons and pesticide exposures / this publication represents the views and expert opinions of an IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans which met in Lyon, 4-11 February 1986.

TextSeries: IARC monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans ; v. 41Publication details: Lyon : International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1986. Description: 434 pISBN: 928321241XSubject(s): Carcinogens, Environmental | Hydrocarbons, Halogenated | Pesticides | Environmental exposureNLM classification: QZ 202Abstract: Presents separate monographs assessing the carcinogenic risk associated with 11 halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, bis (2-chloro-1-ethylethyl) ether, polybrominated biphenyls, and amitrole. Though three of these compounds (methyl chloride, methyl bromide, and methyl iodide) are formed by algae and other marine organisms, the others are commercial compounds or by-products of compounds widely used in products to which humans are exposed, including solvents, paints, glues, degreasing agents, dry-cleaning fluids, aerosol propellants, blowing agents, refrigerants, textiles, and gasoline additives. Assessments of evidence for carcinogenic activity are supported by numerous tables summarizing information on production quantities in different countries, occupational exposure limits, methods for analysis, and the results of overall evaluation of data from short-term tests. The book also presents two extensive monographs which attempt to resolve the considerable controversy surrounding the possible carcinogenic hazards of chlorophenoxy herbicides and chlorophenols.
