1 The following lists of designated substances and carcinogens have been extracted from the Occupational Health and Safety Act, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). For a complete and current listing, refer to their original sources, as noted in each category heading. When purchasing products that fall within these lists, consider the amount, concentration, route of exposure, form or state of the substance, and other factors (e.g. use of the product) that may impact its carcinogenic properties.
