IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer)

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is a part of the World Health Organization that evaluates the scientific evidence on cancer risks. It systematically reviews studies on various substances, behaviors, and exposures to determine whether they can cause cancer in humans. Based on this evidence, IARC classifies agents into categories (such as carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic, or not classifiable). Its work helps guide public health policies and safety regulations worldwide, aiming to reduce cancer risk by identifying harmful factors and promoting safer practices.
