Hydroquinone: An Evaluation of the Human Risks from its Carcinogenic and Mutagenic Properties

1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

The toxicology of hydroquinone has been reviewed on a number of previous occasions. This review targets its potential for carcinogenicity and possible modes of carcinogenic action. The evaluation made by IARC (1999) of its carcinogenic risk to humans was that hydroquinone is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). This evaluation was based on inadequate evidence in humans and limited...
