MOTE TO THE READER Listing of a substance in the Annual Report on Carcinogens is mandated by Public Law 95*622 and is for informational purposes. The evaluation of substances listed in the Annual Report is performed by scientists from the National Toxicology Program and other Federal health research and regulatory agencies. This listing is the first step in hazard identification, is qualitative in nature, and represents only one step in the total risk assessment process. The evaluation of the degree of potential human risk from the substances included in the Annual Report requires a wider analysis than has been made in preparing this document. That is properly the purview of the Federal, State, and local health regulatory and research agencies authorized to implement the laws relating to carcinogens. For the purpose of this Report, "known carcinogens" are defined as those substances for which there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans to indicate a causal relationship between the agent and human cancer. "Reasonably anticipated to be carcinogens" are those substances for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and/or sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. Sufficient evidence in animals is demonstrated by positive carcinogenicity findings in multiple strains and species of animals, in multiple experiments, or to an unusual degree with regard to incidence, site or type of tumor, or age of onset. Only substances for which the evidence of carcinogenicity has been peer-reviewed are evaluated for possible inclusion in the Annual Reports. Anyone who is aware of published data that may alter the listing of a substance in the Annual Report is encouraged to make this information available to the National Toxicology Program. Although every effort is made to prepare the Annual Report as accurately as possible, mistakes may occur. Readers are requested to communicate any errors to Annual Reports on Carcinogens, c/o National Toxicology Program, P.0. Box 12233, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709, in order that corrections can be reported in future Annual Reports. ,

EXECUTIVE SUmARY
The Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens, prepared by the National Toxicology Prc-^am (NTP), U.S. Public Health Service, is issued by the Secretary of the Department of Health |nd Human Services (DHHS), pursuant to Public Law 95-622 of November 9, 1978. This law requires the Secretary to publish an annual report that contains "a list of all substances (i) which either are known to be carcinogens or which may reasonably be anticipated to be carcinogens and (ii) to which a significant number of persons residing in the United States are exposed;..." Annual Reports should also provide available information on the nature of exposures, the estimated number of persons potentially exposed, and the extent to which the implementation of Federal regulations decreases the risk to public health from exposure to these substances.
For the purpose of this Report, "known carcinogens" are defined as those substances for which the evidence from human studies indicates that there is a causal relationship between exposure to the substance and human cancer. Substances "which may reasonably be anticipated to be carcinogens* are defined as those for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans or sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
Substances in the above categories, for which potential exposure of persons residing in the United States has been demonstrated, are Included in the Report. In the Fifth Annual Report, attempts are made to list substances that are currently being used, or for which there is some evidence for continuing exposures In the workplace or in the general environments of persons residing in the United States. In Section IX, there is a list of chemicals now banned or no longer produced in the United States, and/or for which there is no evidence for continuing exposure of persons residing in the United States. These chemicals have formerly appeared in Annual Reports, and information about them is provided in these earlier editions for all who are interested. The Fifth Annual Report does not contain all known or reasonably anticipated carcinogens. Additional substances with identified carcinogenic properties as defined above will be included in subsequent Annual Reports.
Several problems are -encountered in developing the Information required for the Annual Report on Carcinogens. Estimating the number of people potentially exposed to a substance and Identifying the nature, route, and intensity of this potential exposure are difficult tasks. It is often impossible to obtain accurate production volumes and use patterns for most chemicals. The Information that is being collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act, at least that part which Is public record, may assist In obtaining more recent and accurate data on domestic production and importation of substances In the Reports. In addition, data compiled from the National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) from 1980 to 1983 provides new Information on the numbers of workers

INTRODUCTION
Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States. One in every four Americans will suffer from cancer sometime during their lifetime; one in every five will die from cancer. In 1984, more than 450,000 Americans died of cancer (NCHS, 1986). In addition to the physical and emotional suffering caused by cancer, this disease may cost the Nation as much as S39 billion each year in lost production and income, medical expenses, and research resources. For these reasons, the American public is concerned about cancer and cancer hazards, especially about ways to prevent the occurrence or decrease the incidence of cancers.
Contrary to popular belief, cancer is not one but many diseases which may have different causes. Many scientists believe that from one-third to twothirds of all cancers may be associated with the environment in which we live and work. In this context, the environment is understood as "anything that interacts with humans, including substances eaten, drunk, and smoked; natural and medical radiation; workplace exposures; drugs; aspects of sexual behavior; and substances in air, water, and soil (0TAv 1981)." Some cultural and behavioral patterns, apart from defined habits of smoking and alcohol consumption, may significantly influence the development of tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, breast, uterus, and prostate. These aspects of social environment, personal behavior, and habits are sometimes called "lifestyle." Although we rarely know the environmental factors and conditions which are responsible for the development of specific cancers, in some cases we are beginning to have some understanding. For example, we now know that the way foods are prepared and cooked, or how they are stored and preserved, can greatly affect the incidence of cancers in any population. It is the hope of many scientists in these fields that much of the cancer associated with the environment may be avoidable -- perhaps by some changes in "lifestyle."
Development of cancer also depends on "host factors." Host factors are attributes of human organisms associated with individual differences in the risk of developing a specified cancer. A host factor may be associated with reduced risk of a cancer, not only with increased risk (Cole, 1982). Examples of host factors are immunological and endocrine functions, nutritional status, genetic constitution, ageand sex, all of which can interact with one another and with the way the host handles the carcinogen -- i.e., how the host absorbs, distributes or stores-, metabolizes, and excretes the carcinogen (Bartsch & Armstrong, 1982).
Americans, concerned with the relationships between their environment and cancer, have asked for information about substances that cause or might cause cancer.
Section 262 of Public Law 95-622 of November 9, 1978* reflects the requests for this information. Paragraph (4) of this section stipulates that

Participants
Within the Department of Health and Human Services, the responsibility for preparing these Annual Reports has been given to the National Toxicology Program. Agencies participating in this effort through the NTP Working Group for the Annual Reports on Carcinogens are:
Centers for Disease Control/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (COC/NIOSH)
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI)
National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIH/NIEHS)
National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM)
U.S. Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (DOL/OSHA)
Four of these agencies -- CPSC, EPA, FDA, and OSHA -- are responsible for regulating hazardous substances and limiting the exposure to and use of such substances.
Most of the information in each entry of the Annual Report on Carcinogens on "Use", "Production", and "Exposure" is provided by participants from the regulatory agencies given above.
Identifying Carcinogens
For many years, government research agencies, industries, universities, and other research organizations have studied various substances to ascertain those that might cause cancer. Other Federal agencies have been developing information on possible exposure and potential hazards and making rules and regulations to control substances which have been identified as carcinogens.*
* DHHS member agencies participating in NTP are NIH/NCI; NIH/NIEHS; FDA/National Center for Toxicological Research (FDA/NCTR); CDC/NIOSH; and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).

2) Reasonably anticipated to be carcinogens:
A. There is "limited evidence of carcinogenicity" from studies in humans, "which indicates that causal inter pretation is credible, but that alternative explanations, such as chance, bias or confounding, could not adequately
be excluded," or
B. There is "sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity" from studies in experimental animals "which indicates that there is an increased incidence of malignant tumors: (a) in multiple species or strains, or (b) in multiple experiments (preferably with different routes of admini stration or using different dose levels), or (c) to an unusual degree with regard to incidence, site or type of tumor, or age at onset. Additional evidence may be provided by data concerning dose response effects, as well as information on mutagenicity or chemical
structure."
The reader is reminded that the Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens (and
all previous editions) is a condensation of large amounts of data and conclusions made by bodies which peer review the data submitted as evidence about cancer and its relation to specific exposures. As such, the Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens must be less detailed about the actual tests and their drawbacks. The original monographs on each listing are given in the references, and the reader is advised to turn to these for the specific arguments, both pro and con, which went into the listing decision.
Human and Animal Studies
Both human and animal studies, where available, are used in identifying
chemicals as possible carcinogens for humans. The strongest evidence for
relationships between exposure to any given chemical and cancer in humans comes
from carefully conducted epidemiological studies. Good epidemiology studies of
cancer must consider the latent period of most cancer development since the
exposure to the*carcinogen often occurs many years (sometimes 20 to 30 years or
more) before the first sign of cancer appears. As an alternative to what is
usually missing in epidemiological studies of suspected carcinogens for humans
(accurate information about dose and duration of exposure, and interactions of
the suspected carcinogen with other chemicals or modifiers), scientists can use
well-designed animal studies.
In these, the suspected carcinogen is
administered to large numbers of animals in (usually at least) two species over
a range of doses and times with all parameters chosen to maximize the
possibility of producing cancer (e.g., the doses of suspected carcinogen are
usually large).

The Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens contains entries on the carcinogenicity of seven metals (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, and thorium). Many different salts or compounds of these metals exist and, with any particular metal, only a few of these have been evaluated in animals for carcinogenicity. However, some general principles may apply. The toxicologic (and carcinogenic) hazard from a metal may often be a property less of the form of the metal administered than of the metal per se, although the toxicity and carcinogenicity (e.g., potency) of any compound can also be a function of its bioavailability. The anion or ligand of the metal often seems to determine the physico-chemical properties which then*affect bioavailability characteristics such as solubility, absorption, and distribution to sites believed to be involved in carcinogenesis, etc. In the absence of data (e.g., about bioavailability), all compounds or salts of any metal shown to be carcin ogenic in one of its forms may be reasonably anticipated to be carcinogens. This caveat may also apply to the elemental metal (OHEA, 1986).
Ionizing radiation, ultra-violet radiation (including sunlight), tobacco, alcoholic beverages, and some viruses are known or suspected to be carcinogens. They have not been included in this Report (unless acting in conjunction with a chemical) because ionizing radiation is discussed thoroughly in a General Accounting Office Report, and a Surgeon General's Report reviews the overwhelming relationship between tobacco and cancer (GAO, 1981; OSH, 1982). Several publications issued by the National Cancer Institute explain the relationship of alcoholic beverages, ultra-violet radiation, and viruses to cancer (e.g., Shimkin, 1980).
Certain manufacturing processes and mixtures of chemicals have been considered by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and have been classified by IARC as sources which are associated with increased incidences of cancer in workers in these settings. Among these are;
1. Boot and Shoe Manufacture and Repair (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.25, 1981)
2. Certain Combined Chemotherapy for Lymphomas (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.25, 1981)
3. Furniture Manufacture (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.l, 1972)
4. Hematite Underground Mining (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.l, 1972)
5. Isopropyl Alcohol Manufacturing (Strong-Acid Process) (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.15, 1977)
6. Manufacture of Auramlne (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.l, 1972)
7. Nickel Refining (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.2, 1973; IARC V.ll, 1976)
8. Rubber Industry (IARC S.4, 1982; IARC V.28, 1982).

This list of substances with key references is then published in the Federal Register for comment. Final decisions on the substances to be included in the Annual Report and on other issues raised are made after the two review groups have evaluated the submitted comments on each of the issues.
Once decisions have been made on the chemicals to be included in the Annual Report, the support contractor prepares the initial draft of the Report, which contains an entry on each of the substances judged to be known carcinogens or reasonably anticipated to be carcinogens. As mandated by Congress, these entries include data on the nature of exposure to the substances and the estimated numbers of persons exposed, and information on the Federal regulations promulgated on the substances; in addition, they contain summaries of the relevant carcinogenicity data. The information on Federal regulations and other Federal activities is supplied by the agencies that serve on the Working Group for the Annual Report on Carcinogens. These agencies also contribute data on levels of exposure to the substances under the use situations for which they have jurisdiction.
Following extensive review by NIEHS scientific staff, the draft Report is revised and submitted first to the Working Group for the Annual Reports on Carcinogens and then to the NTP Executive Committee for evaluation. Modifications suggested by member Agencies are incorporated into the document which is then transmitted to the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services, for final review, approval, and publication.
Because of increased levels of interest in the Annual Reports on Carcinogens, a further opportunity for public comment was added to the process for preparation of the Fifth Annual Report on Carcinogens. An open meeting was held on April 21, 1987, in Washington, DC, to discuss the process by which the Annual Reports on Carcinogens are prepared, and to receive oral and written comments. Seventeen oral presentations were given, all but one of which were supported by written submissions. Fourteen other written comments were submitted by individuals and groups unable to attend the meeting. In response to requests for more information on the process for preparation of the Annual Reports, the above description has been added to this Report and will appear in subsequent Reports.
Estimating Exposure
According to clause (11) of subparagraph (4)(A), this Report is required to Include those substances "to which a significant number of people residing in the United States are exposed." Substances to which only a few people are exposed are not included for the most part. Yet some substances that have been banned or restricted in use are contained in the Report (e.g., safrole, arsenical pesticides, mirex), either because people who were previously exposed remain potentially at risk, or because these substances are still present in the environment.

BOR 000442
OSHA has recently taken regulatory action which affects the permissible exposure limits for the following substances: amitrole, beryllium and certain beryllium compounds, chromic acid and chromates including zinc chromate, carbon tetrachloride, DOT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2dichi oroethane, 1,3-dichloropropene, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, dimethyl sulfate, 1,4-dioxane, epichlorohydrin, ethyl acrylate, hydrazine and hydrazine sulfate, 4,4'-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline), certain nickel compounds, 2-
nitropropane, propylene oxide, tetrachloroethylene, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, o-toluidine and toluidine hydrochloride, and toxaphene. For information on current OSHA regulations for these substances, the reader should obtain 54 FR 2329 (January 19, 1988) or OSHA Publication 3112, Air Contaminants --
Permissible Exposure Limits (29 CFR 1910.1000).
Estimating Risk Reduction
Clause (ii) in subparagraph (4)(C) requires a statement identifying "for each effluent, ambient, or exposure standard established by a Federal agency with respect to a substance contained in the list under subparagraph (A), the extent to which, on the basis of available medical, scientific, or other data, such standard, and the implementation of such standard by the agency, decreases the risk to public health from exposure to the substance;..." This requires quantified information on the amount of protection from cancer that the public receives from established Federal standards.
Estimating the amount of health protection is perhaps the most difficult task in preparing the Annual Reports. One reason is that most Federal laws concerned with reducing cancer risk have been enacted within the last 15 years. Given the long period between the initial exposure to a carcinogen and the onset of disease, it is still too early to evaluate to what extent Federal standards and other regulations have decreased the human cancer risk. Another reason is that information on past exposure levels, which could serve as a baseline for estimating future risk reduction, often is not available or accurate.
The risk -- the probability of developing cancer -- depends on many
things, including the intensity, route, and duration of exposure to a
carcinogen.
Individuals may respond differently to similar exposures,
depending on host factors such as age, sex, nutritional status, overall health,
and inherited characteristics. Only in a few instances, where studies of long
term human exposures and cancer incidence in restricted environments are
available, can risk be estimated with any confidence.
The regulation of asbestos in the workplace provides a good example. In 1969, under the Walsh-Healey Act, which then regulated only firms with government contracts, the standard for permissible exposure was 12 fibers of asbestos per cubic centimeter (cm^) of air. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, this standard was reduced to 5 fibers/cnr in 1972 and to 2 fibers/ cnr in 1976. On April 17, 1980, a joint NIOSH/OSHA Working Group recommended the elimination of all nonessential uses of asbestos and the implementation of a public health program to reduce human exposures. On April 10, 1984, OSHA proposed a rule lowering the permissible exposure to 0.2 or 0.5 fibers/cm-3 (5 micrometers in length) and requiring other provisions for employee protection.
