Does classification mean RCF is a health risk?
The evidence which led to classification was drawn from animal experiments only and has since been contested. RCF has been in production for over 40 years, and there has been no human disease attributed to RCF fibre exposure. RCF products are not banned (except for direct sale to the general public), but users in the EU are required to consider and select alternatives with a lower hazard classification where technically possible.
