They considered 28 agents as definite human occupational carcinogens (IARC group 1), 27 agents as probable occupational carcinogens (group 2A...

Their efforts to select in vitro concentrations based on reported occupational exposure levels of inhaled nano materials are, indeed, laudable. Their under lying conceptual approach is logical, involv...
