From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Um, does oxazepam really belong in this list? Don't think that the benzos caused cancer!

I knew that nickel can harm allergic people, but a carcinogen? Its alloys? Are we all at risk for eating from stainless steel spoons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.189.220.188 (talk) 20:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] broken link

The link to the IARC monographs is broken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.145.137.215 (talk) 16:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] magenta as a carcinogen

Magenta is currently linked to a Wiki page about the color magenta. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.145.137.215 (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] is this really necessary?

I question the utility of keeping a distinct list of IARC-classified human carcinogens in Wikipedia when the definitively list already exists on the IARC website: http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Classification/crthgr02b.php. At best, the Wiki page will be a duplicate of that list. At worse, it will be outdated, improperly transcribed, and/or inaccurate.

Might it be more appropriate to describe how compounds come to be classified as IARC group 2B and then simply link to the IARC website for details? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.145.137.215 (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
