The term 'carcinogenic risk' in the lARC Monographs series is ta ken to me an the proba- bility that exposure to an agent willlead to cancer in humans. Inclusion of an agent in the Monographs does not imply that it is a , only that the published data have been examined. Equally, the fact that an agent has not yet been evaluated in a monograph does not mean that it is not carcinogenic. The evaluations of carcinogenic risk are made by international working groups of in- dependent scientists and are qualitative in nature. No recommendation is given for regu- lation or legislation. Anyone who is aware of published data that may alter the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of an agent to humans is encouraged to make this information available to the Unit of Carcinogen Identification and Evaluation, International Agency for Research on Cancer, 150 cours Albert Thomas, 69372 Lyon Cedex 08, France, in order that the agent may be considered for re-evaluation by a future Working Group. A1though every effort is made to prepare the monographs as accurately as possible, mistakes may occur. Readers are requested to communicate any errors to the Uni t of Carcinogen Identification and Evaluation, so that corrections can be reported in future volumes.
