International Agency for Research on Cancer Monographs

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs are scientific evaluations that assess the potential cancer risks of various substances, including chemicals, types of radiation, and work environments. Experts review the latest research to determine whether these agents can cause cancer in humans. The findings are published in detailed reports, helping regulators, healthcare professionals, and the public understand which substances may pose health hazards. These evaluations are essential for guiding safety standards and prevention measures worldwide, enabling informed decisions to reduce cancer risk.
