INTRODUCTION
This compilation presents those chemicals end processes evaluated as .having carcinogenic potential by the International Ageney for Research on Cancer (LARC), Che National Toxicology Program (NT?), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (aCGIH). The table includes the category under which each agency or organisation includes the eonpound or process. A full description of each category is included in the notes following the table.
It is hoped that this compilation will aid those interested in the development of a policy on occupational cancer by presenting the chemicals classified as carcinogens in tabular format.

I. Compiled from: (a) International Agency for Umr:h on Cancer, LAIC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicala to Humans, Chemicals, Industrial Processes end Industries Associatad vich Cancer in Humans, IARC Monographs, Volumes 1 to 29, Supplement 4, 1982; (b) IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans, Volumes 30-34, 1983 to 1984; end (c) IARC, Handling Chemical Carcinogens in the Laboratory, ?robleu of Safety, IARC Scientific Publications Ho. 33, 1979. Definitions of the entries in this column, which correspond to the IARC classifications in Che above three references, are given below.
Croup 1 [from reference (a)] The chemieal, group of ehemieals, industrial process or occupational axpoeure ia carcinogenic to humans. This category, wea used only when there was sufficient evidence from epidemiological studies to support a causal association between the exposure and eancar.
Croup 2 [from rafartncs Ca)I Tha chemical, group of ehemieals, industrial process or occupational exposure is probably carcinogenic to humans. This category includes exposures for vhieh, at one extreme, the evidence of human careinogeniciey is almost 'sufficient', as well as exposures for vhieh, ae tha ochar extreme, it is inadequate. To reflect this range, the category was dividad into higher (Croup A) and lower (Croup B) degrees of evidence. Usually, category 2A was reserved for exposures for vhieh there waa at laast limitad avidanca of carcinogenicity to humans. The data from studies in experimental animals played an important role in assigning studies to category 2, end particularly those in Croup B; thus, the combination of aufficient evidence in animals and inadequate data in humans usually resulted in a classification of 2B.
v* [from reference (b)] Tha chemieal, group of chemicals, industrial process or occupational exposure appears in IARC Monographs, Volumes 30-34, with at least 'sufficient' evidence of carcinogenicity ir. experimental animals.
