Known and Suspected Carcinogens

Therefore, the absence of a chemical from this list does not mean that it cannot have carcinogenic properties. Neither does the presence of a chemical in the list indicate that it is a proven carcinogen.

However, users should treat the materials listed with the caution due to suspected carcinogens, and gather as much safety data as possible before starting work. Restrictions apply to the use of some of these chemicals in the U.K.

Links exist to MSDS data for some of these chemicals, but if there is no link for a chemical in which you are interested, try the main page on this web site, through which you can access MSDS data for a larger number of chemicals.
