The 10 key characteristics (KCs) of carcinogens form the basis a framework to identify, organize, and evaluate mechanistic evidence relevant carcinogenic hazard identification. KCs are related mechanisms by which cause cancer. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs programme has successfully applied evaluation different types exposures, including chemicals, metals, complex such as environmental, occupational, or dietary exposures. use this significantly enhanced...
Abstract The key characteristics (KCs) of carcinogens are the properties common to known human that can be used search for, organize, and evaluate mechanistic data in support hazard identification. A limiting factor this approach is relevant vitro vivo assays, as well corresponding biomarkers endpoints, have been only partially documented for each 10 KCs (Smith MT, Guyton KZ, Kleinstreuer N et al. carcinogens: relationship hallmarks cancer, biomarkers, assays measure them.

Half of U.S. drinking water comes from aquifers, and very shallow ones (<20 feet to table) are especially vulnerable anthropogenic contamination. We present the case Holliston, a Boston, Massachusetts suburb that draws its where metals solvents have been reported in groundwater. Community concerns focus on discolored by naturally occurring manganese (Mn), despite reports stating regulatory aesthetic compliance. Epidemiologic studies suggest Mn is potentially toxic element (PTE) for...
