Is nPB considered to be a carcinogen?
nPB is not a carcinogen. There have been many studies over the years and there has never been an indication that it has a carcinogenic effect. In the United States of America it is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC or the NTP. Enviro Tech recently commissioned an Invitro Human Cell Bioassay of Commonly Used Vapour Degreasing Solvents. The work was peer reviewed and published in Toxicology and Industrial Health 2006; 22: 301_315. Copies are available on request.
