[Decree 626/94, section VII "Protection from carcinogenic agents": comparison of agents tested for evidence of carcinogenicity by the EEC and IARC].
This paper reviews the assessments reported by the European Commission and the International Agency for Research on Cancer of evidence of carcinogenicity of agents. The aim was to identify the discrepancies in the classification of substances, jobs and occupational exposure situations considered by these two international bodies. This information can be of use in the risk evaluation of workers exposed to carcinogenic agents, as foreseen by Italian Decree No. 626/94.
