IARC Monographs Evaluation of the Carcinogenicity of Tris (Chloropropyl) Phosphate, Butyraldehyde and Cumyl Hydroperoxide

IARC Issues New Hazard Classifications for Three High-Volume Industrial Chemicals

Evaluation

IARC announces the evaluation of tris (chloropropyl) phosphate, butyraldehyde and cumyl hydroperoxide. Tris (chloropropyl) phosphate is classified as probably carcinogenic to humans, while the other two substances are classified as possibly carcinogenic.

Experimental and Mechanistic Data

Evidence in humans is considered inadequate, but experimental and mechanistic data support the classifications. These substances are used in industrial contexts, making the findings relevant for prevention and regulation.
