TextSeries: IARC monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans ; v. 36Publication details: Lyon : International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1985. Description: 369 pISBN: 9283212363Subject(s): Allyl compounds | Aldehydes | Epoxy compounds | Peroxides | Neoplasms | Environmental exposure | Noncommunicable DiseasesNLM classification: QZ 202Abstract: An expert evaluation of all published data useful in determining the carcinogenic risk posed by 14 allyl compounds, aldehydes, epoxides and peroxides. Substances were selected on the basis of their broad spectrum of utility, potential for widespread exposure, and likelihood that exposure may be associated with carcinogenicity in man. Each substance is assessed in terms of chemical and physical data, information on production, use, and natural or industrial occurrence, and currently available methods of analysis. In the most extensive section of each monograph, readers will find a review and evaluation of all recorded biological data derived from carcinogenicity studies in animals, from experimental test systems, including short-term tests, and from case reports and epidemiological studies. The book also features an appendix of activity profiles for short-term tests classified according to the end-point detected.
