March 2025: Breaking news from the IARC:
"Automotive gasoline causes cancer of the urinary bladder and acute myeloid leukaemia in adults." The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have reassessed the carcinogenic affects on humans of automotive gasoline/petroleum - a complex mixture of volatile hydrocarbons. The first IARC assessment of the carcinogenicity of automotive gasoline in humans was in 1988, pre-dating modern research. The IARC recommended, as a high priority, their reassessment of automotive gasoline to take account of more recent peer-reviewed studies and research, and account for the modern formulas of automotive gasolines. The IARC Working Group of 20 international experts published the results of their analysis (IARC monograph 138 - published 21st March 2025) which upgrades the carcinogenicity of the complex mixture 'automotive gasoline' from Group 2b to Group-1 (the highest group) concluding exposure to automotive gasoline itself causes cancers in humans... "The Working Group evaluated automotive gasoline as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) on the basis of sufficient evidence for cancer in humans and the combination of sufficient evidence for cancer in experimental animals and strong mechanistic evidence in exposed humans. Automotive gasoline causes cancer of the urinary bladder and acute myeloid leukaemia in adults."
