Everything may not cause cancer u but 228 things do
Article Abstract:
The objective of the CongressE mandated eReport on CarcinogensE in the 1978 Public Health Act, is to ensure that the American public is made aware of potential cancer hazards by listing substances that expert panels have determined as carcinogens. The report makes a distinction between known carcinogens and reasonably anticipated human carcinogens, which is considered a good way for patients to obtain information needed to weigh their risks and to take proper precautions if work or a hobby exposes them to hazards.
