FILE NAME: Talc (TALC) DATE: 2006 Apr DOC#: TALC057 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Journal Article - Carcinogenicity of Carbon Black, Titanium Dioxide, and Talc Policy Watch Carcinogenicity of carbon black, titanium dioxide, and talc In February, 2006, 19 scientists from eight countries met atthe International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France, to reassess the carcino genicity of carbon black, titanium dioxide, and non-asbestiform talc These assessments will be published as volume 93 of the IARC Monographs,1 and are the first assessments since the IARC Monograph preamble was amended.2 All three of the above agents are poorly soluble particles that are weakly toxic, and were chosen for assessment because evidence suggests that they cause cancer in the respiratory tract of rats through similar mechanismsafter exposure to high concentrations of these agents, deposition of particles onto the respiratory epithelium can lead to enhanced particle retention, impaired lung clearance, inflammatory response, production of reactive oxygen species, cell injury, cell proli feration, fibrosis, induction of mutations, and, ultimately, cancer Because many of these steps arise in people who work In dusty environ ments (eg, coal miners),34 data on cancer in animals obtained in conditions of impaired lung clearance could be relevant to human beings.
