IARC Monographs Volume 119: Evaluation of some chemicals that cause tumours of the urinary tract in rodents

A Working Group of 21 scientists from 9 countries met at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) on 6–13 June 2017 to evaluate the carcinogenicity of 1‐tert‐butoxypropan‐2‐ol, β‐myrcene, furfuryl alcohol, melamine, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, and vinylidene chloride. A summary of the evaluations has now been published in The Lancet Oncology. The detailed assessments will be published as Volume 119 of the IARC Monographs.
