EPA: Group A – human carcinogen, group B1 – probable human carcinogen,
limited human data are available, group B2 – probable human carcinogen,
sufficient evidence in animals and inadequate or no evidence in humans,
group C – possible human carcinogen
IARC: Group 1 – human carcinogen, group 2A – probable carcinogen to humans,
group 2B – possible carcinogen to humans, group 3 – unclassifiable as to
carcinogenity in humans
a – sum of heptachlorine a heptachlor epoxide
b – sum of chloroform, bromdichloromethane, dibromchloromethane and bromoform
c – for CrVI
x – for subsystem I – phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene,
for subsystem II –
