IARC Monographs evaluation of the carcinogenicity of isobutyl nitrite, β-picoline, and some acrylates

The results of the recent IARC Monographs evaluation of the carcinogenicity of isobutyl nitrite, β-picoline, and some acrylates (methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and trimethylolpropane triacrylate) have now been published in The Lancet Oncology. This summary article presents the conclusions of the IARC Monographs Meeting 122. The evaluations for methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate and for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate were updated since these agents were considered previously in 1999 and 1994, respectively. Isobutyl nitrite, β-picoline, and trimethylolpropane triacrylate were evaluated by the Working Group for the first time.
The full scientific assessment will be published as Volume 122 of the IARC Monographs.
