9th Report on Carcinogens

The 9th Report on Carcinogens is a document published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that identifies substances and agents known or reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans. It evaluates scientific research to classify risks associated with chemicals, physical agents, and biological agents. This report helps inform regulations and public awareness to reduce cancer risks. While it doesn't mean exposure always causes cancer, it highlights substances that pose enough risk to warrant caution and further investigation. The report aims to protect public health by guiding safe practices and policies regarding potentially carcinogenic substances.
