1,3-Butadiene|106-99-0|NA, Not applicable. This substance was not assessed using the 1986 cancer guidelines (U.S. EPA, 1986).|Under EPA's 1999 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1999), 1,3-butadiene is characterized as carcinogenic to humans by inhalation. This characterization is supported by the total weight of evidence provided by the following: (1) sufficient evidence from epidemiologic studies of the majority of U.S. workers occupationally exposed to 1,3-butadiene, either to the monomer or to the polymer by inhalation, showing increased lymphohematopoietic cancers and a dose-response relationship for leukemias in polymer workers (see Section II.A.2), (2) sufficient evidence in laboratory animal studies showing that 1,3-butadiene causes tumors at multiple sites in mice and rats by inhalation (see Section II.A.3), and (3) numerous studies consistently demonstrating that 1,3-butadiene is metabolized into genotoxic metabolites by experimental animals and humans (see Section II.A.4). The specific mechanisms of 1,3-butadiene-induced carcinogenesis are unknown; however, the scientific evidence strongly suggests that the carcinogenic effects are mediated by genotoxic metabolites of 1,3-butadiene, i.e., the monoepoxide, the diepoxide, and the epoxydiol.|0139 | |||

Chlorodifluoromethane|75-45-6|Not Assessed under the IRIS program.||0657 | |||
Chloroform|67-66-3|B2, Probable human carcinogen - based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals|Under the Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1996; U.S. EPA, 1999), chloroform is likely to be carcinogenic to humans by all routes of exposure under high-exposure conditions that lead to cytotoxicity and regenerative hyperplasia in susceptible tissues (U.S. EPA, 1998a,b). Chloroform is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans by any route of exposure under exposure conditions that do not cause cytotoxicity and cell regeneration. This weight-of-evidence conclusion is based on: 1) observations in animals exposed by both oral and inhalation pathways which indicate that sustained or repeated cytotoxicity with secondary regenerative hyperplasia precedes, and is probably required for, hepatic and renal neoplasia; 2) there are no epidemiological data specific to chloroform and, at most, equivocal epidemiological data related to drinking water exposures that cannot necessarily be negative, although there are some scattered positive results that generally have limitations such as excessively high dose or with confounding factors. Thus, the weigh-of-evidence of the genotoxicity data on chloroform supports a conclusion that chloroform is not strongly mutagenic, and the genotoxicity is not likely to be the predominant mode of action underlying the carcinogenic potential of chloroform. Although no cancer data exist for exposures via the dermal pathway, the weight-of-evidence conclusion is considered to be applicable to this pathway as well, because chloroform absorbed through the skin and into the blood is expected to be metabolized and to cause toxicity in much the same way as chloroform absorbed by other exposure routes.|0025 | |||
Chloromethyl methyl ether (CMME)|107-30-2|A, Human Carcinogen|The observation of an increased incidence of respiratory cancer in exposed workers and the observation of respiratory tumors in mice, rats, and hamsters exposed by inhalation forms the basis for this classification.|0245 | |||

Chlorsulfuron|64902-72-3|Not Assessed under the IRIS program.||0027 | |||
Chromium(III), insoluble salts|16065-83-1|D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity|Using the Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (EPA, 1996), there are inadequate data to determine the potential carcinogenicity of trivalent chromium, as discussed below. However, the classification of hexavalent chromium as a known human carcinogen raises a concern for the carcinogenic potential of trivalent chromium.|0028 | |||
Chromium(VI)|18540-29-9|A, Human Carcinogen (Inhalation route)D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity (Oral route)|Under the proposed guidelines (EPA, 1996), Cr(VI) would be characterized as a known human carcinogen by the inhalation route of exposure. The oral carcinogenicity of Cr(VI) cannot be determined. No data were located in the available literature that suggested that Cr(VI) is carcinogenic by the oral route of exposure.|0144 | |||
Chrysene|218-01-9|B2, Probable human carcinogen - based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals|No human data and sufficient data from animal bioassays. Chrysene produced carcinomas and malignant lymphoma in mice after intraperitoneal injection and skin carcinomas in mice following dermal exposure. Chrysene produced chromosomal abnormalities in hamsters and mouse germ cells after gavage exposure, positive responses in bacterial gene mutation assays and transformed mammalian cells exposed in culture.|0455 | |||
Coke oven emissions|8007-45-2|A, Human Carcinogen|Studies of coke oven workers have shown increased risk of mortality from cancer of the lung, trachea and bronchus; cancer of the kidney; cancer of the prostate; and cancer at all sites combined. In animals, extracts and condensates of coke oven emissions were found to be carcinogenic in both inhalation studies and skin-painting bioassays. The mutagenicity of whole extracts and condensates, as well as their individual components, provides supportive evidence for carcinogenicity.|0395 | |||
Copper|7440-50-8|D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity|There are no human data, inadequate animal data from assays of copper compounds, and equivocal mutagenicity data.|0368 | |||
Copper cyanide|544-92-3|Not Assessed under the IRIS program.||0029 | |||
Creosote|8001-58-9|B1, Probable human carcinogen - based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans|Limited evidence of the association between occupational creosote contact and subsequent tumor formation, sufficient evidence of local and distant tumor formation after dermal application to mice, and some evidence of mutagenic activity, as well as the well-documented carcinogenicity of other coal tar products to humans.|0360 | |||
Crotonaldehyde|123-73-9|C, Possible human carcinogen|Based on no human data and an increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas and hepatic neoplastic nodules (combined) in male F344 rats. The possible carcinogenicity of crotonaldehyde is supported by genotoxic activity and the expected reactivity of croton oil and aldehyde. Crotonaldehyde is also a suspected metabolite of N-nitrosopyrrolidine, a probable human carcinogen. | |||

| 3 | Acephate | 30560-19-1 | C, Possible human carcinogen | The classification is based on increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas and adenomas in female mice. | 0354 |
| 4 | Acetaldehyde | 75-07-0 | B2, Probable human carcinogen - based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals | Based on increased incidence of nasal tumors in male and female rats and laryngeal tumors in male and female hamsters after inhalation exposure. | 0290 |
| 5 | Acetochlor | 34256-82-1 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0521 | |
| 6 | Acetone | 67-64-1 | NA, Not applicable. This substance was not assessed using the 1986 cancer guidelines (U.S. EPA, 1986). | In accordance with the Draft Revised Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1999) data are inadequate for an assessment of the human carcinogenic potential of acetone. | 0128 |
| 7 | Acetonitrile | 75-05-8 | D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity | Under the Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1996), the carcinogenic potential of ACN following inhalation, oral, or dermal exposure is best characterized as "cannot be determined because the existing evidence is composed of conflicting data (e.g., some evidence is suggestive of carcinogenic effects, but other equally pertinent evidence does not confirm any concern)." | 0205 |
| 8 | Acetophenone | 98-86-2 | D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity | Based on no human data and no animal data. | 0321 |
| 9 | Acetyl chloride | 75-36-5 | D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity | No human data or animal data. | 0518 |
| 10 | Acifluorfen, sodium | 62476-59-9 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0192 | |
| 11 | Acrolein | 107-02-8 | NA, Not applicable. This substance was not assessed using the 1986 cancer guidelines (U.S. EPA, 1986). | Under the Draft Revised Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1999), the potential carcinogenicity of acrolein cannot be determined because the existing data are inadequate for an assessment of human carcinogenic potential for either the oral or inhalation route of exposure. There are no adequate human studies of the carcinogenic potential of acrolein. Collectively, experimental studies provide inadequate evidence that acrolein causes cancer in laboratory animals. | 0364 |
| 12 | Acrylamide | 79-06-1 | B2, Probable human carcinogen - based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals | Based on inadequate human data and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals; significantly increased incidences of benign and/or malignant tumors at multiple sites in both sexes of rats, and carcinogenic effects in a series of one-year limited bioassays in mice by several routes of exposures. The classification is supported by positive genotoxicity data, adduct formation activity, and structure-activity relationships to vinyl carbamate and acrylonitrile. | 0286 |
| 13 | Acrylic acid | 79-10-7 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0002 | |
| 14 | Acrylonitrile | 107-13-1 | B1, Probable human carcinogen - based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans | The observation of a statistically significant increase in incidence of lung cancer in exposed workers and observation of tumors, generally astrocytomas in the brain, in studies in two rat strains exposed by various routes (drinking water, gavage, and inhalation) forms the basis for this classification. | 0206 |
| 15 | Adiponitrile | 111-69-3 | D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity | No human and no animal cancer data were available. Adiponitrile was negative for mutagenicity in Salmonella with and without activation. | 0515 |
| 16 | Alachlor | 15972-60-8 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0129 | |
| 17 | Alar | 1596-84-5 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0287 | |
| 18 | Aldicarb | 116-06-3 | D, Not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity | Aldicarb was not found to induce statistically significant increases in tumor incidence in mice or rats in feeding studies or mice in a skin painting study. In the feeding studies there were, however, significant trends in pituitary tumors in female rats and fibrosarcomas in the male mouse. This evidence, together with the fact that less than maximum tolerated doses were used, indicates that the available assays are inadequate to assess the carcinogenic potential of aldicarb. | 0003 |
| 19 | Aldicarb sulfone | 1646-88-4 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0312 | |
| 20 | Aldrin | 309-00-2 | B2, Probable human carcinogen - based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals | Orally administered aldrin produced significant increases in tumor responses in three different strains of mice in both males and females. Tumor induction has been observed for structurally related chemicals, including dieldrin, a metabolite. | 0130 |

| 22 | Allyl alcohol | 107-18-6 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0004 | |
| 23 | Allyl chloride | 107-05-1 | C, Possible human carcinogen | Classification is based on a low (but biologically important) incidence of forestomach tumors in female mice and positive results in a variety of genetic toxicity tests. Allyl chloride is an alkylating agent and structurally related to probable human carcinogens. | 0387 |
| 24 | Aluminum phosphide | 20859-73-8 | Not Assessed under the IRIS program. | 0005 | |

This characterization is supported by the total weight of evidence provided by the following: (1) sufficient evidence from epidemiologic studies of the majority of U.S. workers occupationally exposed to 1,3-butadiene, either to the monomer or to the polymer by inhalation, showing increased lymphohematopoietic cancers and a dose-response relationship for leukemias in polymer workers (see Section II.A.2), (2) sufficient evidence in laboratory animal studies showing that 1,3-butadiene causes tumors at multiple sites in mice and rats by inhalation (see Section II.A.3), and (3) numerous studies consistently demonstrating that 1,3-butadiene is metabolized into genotoxic metabolites by experimental animals and humans (see Section II.A.4). The specific mechanisms of 1,3-butadiene-induced carcinogenesis are unknown; however, the scientific evidence strongly suggests that the carcinogenic effects are mediated by genotoxic metabolites of 1,3-butadiene, i.e., the monoepoxide, the diepoxide, and the epoxydiol. | 0139 |

Chloroform is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans by any route of exposure under exposure conditions that do not cause cytotoxicity and cell regeneration. This weight-of-evidence conclusion is based on: 1) observations in animals exposed by both oral and inhalation pathways which indicate that sustained or repeated cytotoxicity with secondary regenerative hyperplasia precedes, and is probably required for, hepatic and renal neoplasia; 2) there are no epidemiological data specific to chloroform and, at most, equivocal epidemiological data related to drinking water exposures that cannot necessarily be negative, although there are some scattered positive results that generally have limitations such as excessively high dose or with confounding factors. Thus, the weigh-of-evidence of the genotoxicity data on chloroform supports a conclusion that chloroform is not strongly mutagenic, and the genotoxicity is not likely to be the predominant mode of action underlying the carcinogenic potential of chloroform. Although no cancer data exist for exposures via the dermal pathway, the weight-of-evidence conclusion is considered to be applicable to this pathway as well, because chloroform absorbed through the skin and into the blood is expected to be metabolized and to cause toxicity in much the same way as chloroform absorbed by other exposure routes. | 0025 |
