Some Industrial Chemicals

A working group of 28 experts from 12 countries met in Lyon to evaluate or re-evaluate the evidence for carcinogenicity of sixteen industrial chemicals, all of them organic compounds. These included some aromatic amines (ortho-toluidine, 4-chloro-ortho-toluidine, and 5-chloro-ortho-toluidine), some ethanolamines (di- and triethanolamine and N-nitrosodiethanolamine), and three esters [di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, and cinnamyl anthranilate]. Most of these chemicals had been assigned high priority for review by a recent Ad-hoc Advisory Group on Priorities. Seven of the sixteen compounds had been previously evaluated by the IARC Monographs Programme.International Agency for Research on Cancer Staff is the author of 'Some Industrial Chemicals ', published 2000 under ISBN 9789283212775 and ISBN 9283212770.
