Cancer Risk Information
1986 USEPA Cancer Risk Category: Group A-Human Carcinogen
Interpreting Cancer Risk HTML PDF
Species and Tumor Types: Evidence from human data. An increased lung cancer mortality was observed in multiple human populations exposed primarily through inhalation. Also, increased mortality from multiple internal organ cancers (liver, kidney, lung, and bladder) and an increased incidence of skin cancer were observed in populations consuming water high in inorganic arsenic.
NOTE: Cancer risk classifications are specific to active ingredients, not products. To arrive at an overall health or cancer risk evaluation for a pesticide product, active ingredient cancer risk information should be used together with other risk and exposure information, such as USEPA Risk Management Decision Documents (REDs, IREDs, TREDs, and others).
USEPA Risk Management Documents
USEPA risk management decision documents provide chemical-specific risk assessment information for active ingredients evaluated by the USEPA for use in pesticide products. For more information, see Pesticide Registration HTML.
