Abstract
This volume of the IARC Monographs provides an assessment of the carcinogenicity of fluoro-edenite fibrous amphibole, silicon carbide fibres ans whiskers, and carbon nanotubes, including single-walled and multiwalled types. None of the these agents had been assessed previously by the IARC Monographs Working Group.
The Working Group relied mainly on epidemiological studies to evaluate the carcinogenic hazard to humans exposed to fluoro-edenite fibrous amphibole, an environmental contaminant that was reported to cause mesothelioma in the regional population of BIancavilla, Sicily, Italy.
