In February–March, 2023, a Working Group of 20 scientists from 10 coun tries met at the invitation of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France, to finalise their evaluation of the carcinogenicity of four agents: anthracene, 2-bromopropane, butyl methacrylate (BMA), and dimethyl hydrogen phosphite (DMHP). 2-Bromopropane was classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans”(Group 2A) based on “sufficient” evidence for cancer in experimental animals (noting an unusually high degree of carcinogenic activity) and “strong” mechanistic evidence in experimental systems, supported by suggestive evidence of immunosuppression and of modulation of receptor-mediated effects in exposed workers. The other three agents were classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”(Group 2B) based on “sufficient” evidence for cancer in experimental animals. The evidence for cancer in experimental animals was “sufficient” because an increased incidence of malignant neoplasms or an appropriate combination of benign and malignant neoplasms was observed (i) in two species, for anthracene and BMA; and (ii) in both sexes of a single species in a Good Laboratory Practice study, for 2-bromopropane and DMHP. For all four agents, the evidence regarding cancer in humans was “inadequate”, as no studies were available. These assessments will be published in Volume 133 of the IARC Monographs. 1 Anthracene is a high-productionvolume polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). It is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes and pigments, pyrotechnics, coatings, wood preservatives, pesticides, and other organic chemicals. It is formed together with other PAHs during the incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic matter and is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant via both anthropogenic and natural processes. Occupational exposure occurs mainly by inhalation and dermal contact in a variety of industries and activities, including manufacture of carbon black, creosote or creosotecontaining products, carbon anodes for aluminium electrolysis, and fireproof material, as well as coking, coaltar roof removal, asphalt paving, and firefighting. Exposure of the general population occurs from multiple routes, including tobacco smoking, ingestion of food and beverages, inhalation of polluted air (from indoor or outdoor burning of biomass, traffic, and industry emissions), and contact with contaminated soils or consumer products. Contaminated food is the major source of anthracene intake by the non-smoking and nonoccupationally exposed population. Indirect evidence of absorption is mainly provided by measurement of PAH levels in urine after occupational exposure, but anthracene is also detected in the blood and several other tissues in the general population. In Crj: BDF1 mice and F344/DuCrj rats exposed via the diet, anthracene caused hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular adenoma or carcinoma (combined), and histiocytic sarcoma in multiple tissue sites in female mice; hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular adenoma or carcinoma (combined), and transitional cell papilloma or carcinoma (combined) of the urinary bladder in male rats; and renal cell adenoma or carcinoma (combined), and endometrial stromal sarcoma in female rats. 2 Anthracene requires photoactivation or modification by interaction with NO2 to exert genotoxic effects. The mechanistic evidence was “limited” for key characteristics of carcinogens (genotoxicity, oxidative stress, and modulation of receptormediated effects). 2-Bromopropane is a solvent used as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, adhesives, and other …
