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.
Found in plastics and paper, some of the potential mammary carcinogens include polysterene and polyamide, which are used in styrofoam to-go containers from restaurants and black plastic spatulas.
Kidney toxicity [5] associated with kidney failure; associated with development of cancer, particularly of the urinary tract, known carcinogen [8] [9] Atractylate Atractylis gummifera: Liver damage, [3] nausea, vomiting, epigastric and abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anxiety, headache and convulsions, often followed by coma [10]
No animal species is known to be immune. Aflatoxins are among the most carcinogenic substances known. [14] After entering the body, aflatoxins may be metabolized by the liver to a reactive epoxide intermediate or hydroxylated to become the less harmful aflatoxin M 1.
In an email to CBS News, General Mills said food safety is a top priority, and although "most crops grown in fields use some form of pesticides and trace amounts are found in the majority of food ...
Plants need to defend themselves from attack by micro-organisms, in particular fungi, and they do this by producing anti-fungal chemicals that are toxic to fungi. Because fungal and human cells are similar at a biochemical level it is often the case that chemical compounds intended for plant defence have an inhibitory effect on human cells ...
The study found such chemicals as benzene, a known carcinogen connected to breast cancers in animals and people; 4,4’-Methylenebis-(2-Chloroaniline), a probable carcinogen linked to bladder ...
2-Acetylaminofluorene, originally used as a pesticide but may also be found in cooked meat, may cause cancer of the bladder, liver, ear, intestine, thyroid and breast. Alkaloid from plants, such as those from Vinca species, [39] may be converted by metabolic processes into the active mutagen or carcinogen.
