Abstract: Evaluates the carcinogenic risk to humans posed by exposure to silica, wollastonite, attapulgite, sepiolite, talc, and erionite. Each of these minerals is considered in a separate monograph containing sections on chemical and physical properties, the extent of past and present human exposure to the mineral, results of carcinogenicity studies in animals, other relevant biological data in experimental systems and in humans, and case reports and epidemiological studies of carcinogenicity in humans. On the basis of these data, each monograph then concludes with an evaluation of the degrees of evidence for carcinogenicity to experimental animals and to humans. Information, which includes critiques of methodologies used in data collection and analysis, reflects the views and conclusions of a 22-member working group composed of experts in carcinogenicity, toxicology, and occupational health. More than 800 published studies are cited.

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, 10-17 June 1986.

Evaluates the carcinogenic risk to humans posed by exposure to silica, wollastonite, attapulgite, sepiolite, talc, and erionite. Each of these minerals is considered in a separate monograph containing sections on chemical and physical properties, the extent of past and present human exposure to the mineral, results of carcinogenicity studies in animals, other relevant biological data in experimental systems and in humans, and case reports and epidemiological studies of carcinogenicity in humans. On the basis of these data, each monograph then concludes with an evaluation of the degrees of evidence for carcinogenicity to experimental animals and to humans. Information, which includes critiques of methodologies used in data collection and analysis, reflects the views and conclusions of a 22-member working group composed of experts in carcinogenicity, toxicology, and occupational health. More than 800 published studies are cited.
