Ultraviolet radiation is in group 1 - since 2012! 78.52.149.42 (talk) 23:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List inaccuracies

At a glance, it appears as though this list is no longer reflective of the list on the IARC website. It is my opinion that all categories related to IARC grouping should be revisited and verified. 76.10.153.162 (talk) 01:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UV radiation (A, B, C) is currently listed as Class 1 and currently appears on the List of IARC Group 1 carcinogens, so I've removed it. tronvillain (talk) 06:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to move the article/category to an alternative name

It is my opinion that the current names of the articles and categories

are misleading, since all agents (materials, compounds, environments) could and should be classified by IARC. The classification does not make them "carcinogens". The IARC itself mentions[1]:

In the following lists, the agents are classified as to their carcinogenic hazard to humans in accordance with the Preamble to the IARC Monographs.

According to this text, we should have articles named:

List of agents classified from IARC to Group xxx as to their carcinogenic hazard to humans. Instead, I propose the simpler title:

List of IARC Group xx agents.

Similarly for categories, my proposal is:

Category:IARC Group 4 agents

Any alternative proposals are welcome. The present proposal is duplicated is all articles and categories, but if you have any comment, please use the page:

Talk:International Agency for Research on Cancer#Proposal to move several articles/categories to alternative names

Do not leave a comment in any other page. --FocalPoint (talk) 13:28, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --FocalPoint (talk) 19:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


A small problem

As far as what I got from the webpage of IARC([2]), there's no evidence shows that propyl gallate is a 2A carcinogen. It shall be removed from this list. --Jsjsjs1111 (talk) 09:57, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of IARC Group 1 Agents - Carcinogenic to humans which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:01, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
