Carcinogenicity
A. General Product Information
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Monograph, Volume 47, antimony trioxide is
classified as a Group 2B chemical agent; possibly carcinogenic to humans. The Monograph states that benign and malignant
lung tumors have been seen in rats exposed to concentrations of antimony trioxide of 4.2 and 45 mg/m3. No lung tumors were
reported in rats exposed to 1.6 mg/m3. However, there is inadequate evidence of the carcinogenicity of the antimony trioxide in
humans.
