IARC group 1 Carcinogens are substances, chemical mixtures, and exposure circumstances which have been classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). [1] This category is used when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans.
Radionuclides, beta-particle-emitting, internally deposited (Note: Specific radionuclides for which there is sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity to humans are also listed individually as Group 1 agents)
Processed meat was classified as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans. What does this mean? This category is used when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans.
To date, 120 agents have been classified in Group 1, the vast majority on the basis of sufficient evidence from epidemiological studies that the agent can cause cancer at one or several sites in humans.
Note: In September 2022, four additional individual Group 1 agents were created by splitting up some existing agent groupings because not all agents in the groups had the same cancer sites with sufficient and limited evidence for cancer in humans. Three strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) were split from a larger grouping of HPV strains.
Only a little over 100 are classified in Group 1, as “carcinogenic to humans.” The IARC publishes its findings, including the detailed evidence to support them, in volumes known as monographs. While the exposures considered by the IARC to be carcinogens or probable carcinogens are listed here, the full lists of IARC classifications can be ...
Last week the World Health Organization (WHO)’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) announced that consumption of processed meat is “carcinogenic to humans (Group I ),” and that consumption of red meat is “probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).”
The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer) which means that there’s strong evidence that processed meats cause cancer. Eating processed meat increases your risk of bowel and stomach cancer.
hazard classification. This infographic presents the categories used by the IARC Monographs on the Identification of Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans to classify a substance according to the level of certainty that the substance can cause cancer.
Volume 100 of the IARC Monographs, A Review of Human Carcinogens, covers all agents previously classified by IARC as "carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)" and was developed by six separate Working Groups: Pharmaceuticals; Biological agents; Arsenic, Metals, Fibres, and Dusts; Radiation; Personal Habits and Indoor Combustions; Chemical Agents and ...
