Carcinogenicity Protocols

  • Conference paper
Book cover Inhalation Toxicology

Part of the book series: ILSI Monographs ((ILSI MONOGRAPHS))

Abstract

Inhalation is the most important route of exposure to carcinogens. Some of the substances found to be carcinogenic for humans by this route are listed in Table 8.1. Everyone will recognize tobacco smoke, asbestos, and radon as important public health concerns.
