Figure 3. — Classification of carcinogenicity used by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). IARC’s programme relies on international working groups of scientists expert in the particular area under investigation. The working groups analyze the information from case reports and epidemiological studies on humans, animal studies and other relevant biological data to evaluate the carcinogenicity of different agents to humans. Agents are classified into one of the four carcinogenicity groups. (Data extracted from IARC Monographs vol. 100B and 104.)
