Any substance that produces cancer; as, to test for carcinogens in the drinking water.
Chemicals, ionizing radiation, and viruses that cause or promote the development of cancer. See cancer. Compare mutagen, teratogen.
This is an agent that may cause cancer. Ionizing radiations are physical carcinogens; there are also chemical and biologic carcinogens. Biologic carcinogens may be external (such as a virus) or internal (such as genetic defects).
an agent that incites carcinoma (cancer) or other malignancy.
Regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen, listed under the category “known to be carcinogens” in the Annual Report on Carcinogens by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), listed under Group 1 (“carcinogenic to humans”) in the latest editions by the International Agency for Research on Cancer Monographs (IARC), or listed in either Group 2A or Group 2B by the IARC or under the category “reasonably anticipated to be carcinogens” by the NTP.
A substance that is believed to cause cancer. See terms in MSDS
A substance that can cause cancer.
Any environmental influence that can contribute to the onset of cancer.
refers to any substance that has the potential of causing cancer when cells or organisms are exposed to it.
Any chemical substance demonstrated by scientific investigation to trigger a genetic defect that results in some form of cancer.
"Carcinogen" means a chemical classified pursuant to the EPA 1986 Risk Assessment Guidelines, as (i) a known human carcinogen (Group A); or (ii) a probable human carcinogen (Group B); or (iii) a possible human carcinogen (Group C) if a cancer slope factor has been published by the EPA and that slope factor is supported by the weight of the evidence. OR classified pursuant to the EPA 2003 Draft Final Guidelines for Carcinogenic Risk Assessment as (i) carcinogenic to humans; or (ii) likely to be carcinogenic to humans. For more, see the Draft Final Guidelines.
An agent suspected or known to cause cancer.
An agent which causes a normal cell to transform into a cancer cell.
A substance or agent that has been demonstrated to cause or produce cancer in mammals, including humans. "Select Carcinogens" are a subset of Particularly Hazardous Substances as defined by the OSHA Laboratory Standard. A chemical is included in this category if:(a) It has been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and found to be a carcinogen or potential carcinogen; or(b) It is listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen in the Annual Report on Carcinogens published by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) (latest edition); or(c) It is regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
A substance or agent known to produce or incite cancer.
Any chemical or physical agent that can cause cancer when cells or organisms are exposed to it.
A substance that has the ability to cause cells to become cancerous if the exposure is above a certain dose and duration. There are very few established chemical leukemogens or lymphomagens. Chronic exposure to benzene has been established to cause acute myelogenous leukemia. Certain chemotherapeutic agents administered to patients with other types of cancer can increase the risk of developing acute myelogenous leukemia. Agents such as organic herbicides or pesticides are under investigation as possible lymphomagens.
A substance or physical agent that may cause cancer in animals or humans.
A compound which can cause cancer
A molecule that can transform normal cells into cancer cells.
Chemical or substance which can cause cancer.
a substance or agent that may produce or increase the risk of cancer
A chemical substance known to induce neoplastic change (malignancies) in experimental animals and/or man. Four types of response are generally accepted as evidence of induction of neoplasms: a. An increase in incidence of the tumor types that occur in controls. b. The development of tumors earlier than controls. c. The occurrence of tumor types not observed in controls. d. An increased multiplicity of tumors.
(kar-SIN-o-jin) ( listen) Any substance that can produce or incite cancer
A substance that may promote the development of cancer. Well known carcinogens include UV light, chemicals in cigarette smoke and asbestos.
A material that can initiate or promote the development of cancer. Well-known carcinogens include saccharine, nitrosamines found in cured meat, certain pesticides, and ionizing radiation.
A material that can cause cancer.
A chemical, biological, or physical agent capable of producing tumor growth.
A compound or material capable of producing cancer.
A chemical that can increase the incidence of cancer in exposed populations. Chemicals are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as known; probable, and possible human carcinogens based on available epidemiologic and toxicological evidence.
a chemical known or believed to cause cancer in humans
a chemical or other environmental agent that produces cancers
a chemical or physical agent (e
a chemical or physical agent that can produce malignant neoplasia
a chemical substance which is believed to cause cancer
a chemical that increases the frequency with which cells are converted to a cancerous condition
a chemical which may give rise to tumor production, which is an unrestrained malignant proliferation of a somatic cell, resulting in a progressively growing mass of abnormal tissue
a compound which causes cancer
an agent potentially capable of causing cancer
an agent that can cause cancer
an agent that can initiate or increase the proliferation of malignant neoplastic cells or the development of malignant or potentially malignant tumors
an environmental agent that can trigger cancer
a substance that causes a cellular malfunction, causing the cell to become cancerous and thus potentially lethal to the surrounding tissue and ultimately the body as these rapidly growing mutated cells take over
a substance that causes a normal cell to change into a cancerous cell, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth
a substance which triggers cancer formation
a substance with the ability to cause cancer
A substance or agent that produces cancer.
anything that is known to cause cancer.
Anything that can cause cancer.
A substance which tends to produce cancer in a living organism.
Any dissolved pollutant that can induce cancer.
A substance that increases the risk of developing cancer. Chemical carcinogens such as tobacco smoke typically cause simple local changes in the DNA sequence. Physical carcinogens such as ionizing radiation typically cause chromosome breaks and translocations.
A material that has either been found to cause cancer in humans or to cause cancer in animals and therefore is considered capable of causing cancer in humans.
A carcinogen is anything that causes cancer. Carcinogens can be physical, chemical, or viral, but many are not known.
A chemcial capable of causing cancer in humans or animals.
Any substances that initiates or promotes the development of cancer.
A product or chemical that can either cause or promote cancer.
Any substance which has been found to induce the formation of cancerous tissue in experimental animals.
A chemical that has been shown to cause cancer, either in people or animals.
Substance that is known or suspected of causing cancer
A substance or agent capable of producing cancer in living animal tissue.
means an agent which is responsible for the formation of a cancer.
Known to be cancer causing.
a substance which causes cancer. Numerous chemical compounds common in polluted air and water are carcinogens.
A substance that is either proven or suspected to cause cancer in humans or laboratory animals.
Any substance capable of producing cancer or a chemical which causes or induces cancer.
any substance that is known to cause cancer
Compare? Capable of causing cancer. A suspected carcinogen is a substance that may cause cancer in humans or animals but for which the evidence is not conclusive.
