What are Carcinogens? I have included some information from the pages found. However, you will have to go to that site itself to learn more details. Christopher http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/carcinogens/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogens [edit] IARC classification of carcinogens Group 1:

the agent (mixture) is definitely carcinogenic to humans. The exposure circumstance entails exposures that are carcinogenic to humans. Group 2A: the agent (mixture) is probably carcinogenic to humans. The exposure circumstance entails exposures that are probably carcinogenic to humans. Group 2B: the agent (mixture) is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The exposure circumstance entails exposures that are possibly carcinogenic to humans. Group 3: the agent (mixture or exposure circumstance) is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Group 4: the agent (mixture) is probably not carcinogenic to humans. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_1_3x_Known_and_Probable_Carcinogens.asp?sitearea=PED National Toxicology Program (NTP) 11th Report on Carcinogens "Known to Be Human Carcinogens" Aflatoxins Alcoholic Beverage Consumption 4-Aminobiphenyl Analgesic Mixtures Containing Phenacetin Arsenic Compounds, Inorganic Asbestos Azathioprine Benzene Benzidine Beryllium and Beryllium Compounds 1,3-Butadiene 1,4-Butanediol Dimethylsulfonate (busulfan, Myleran ®) Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds Chlorambucil 1-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea (MeCCNU) bis(Chloromethyl) Ether and Technical-Grade Chloromethyl Methyl Ether Chromium Hexavalent Compounds Coal Tar Pitches Coal Tars Coke Oven Emissions Cyclophosphamide Cyclosporin A (Ciclosporin) Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Dyes Metabolized to Benzidine Environmental Tobacco Smoke Erionite Estrogens, Steroidal Ethylene Oxide Hepatitis B Virus Hepatitis C Virus Human Papilloma Viruses: Some Genital-Mucosal Types Melphalan
