Carcinogenicity: |
| In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible | |||||||
|
|
| human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is | ||||||
|
|
| inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an | ||||||
|
|
| opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung | ||||||
|
|
| tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels | ||||||
|
|
| that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other | ||||||
|
|
| than rats did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors. | ||||||
