Abstract

Abstract Among 50 environmental tobacco smoke constituents listed as potentially harmful to human health, 17 are designated as suspect carcinogens by either the U.S. National Toxicology Program, or the International Agency for Research on Cancer, or both. The 17 constituents have not been adequately shown to cause pulmonary cancer via inhalation in animals. On the other hand, pulmonary carcinogens not present in environmental tobacco smoke, such as bis‐choromethyl ether, are supported by adequate human and animal inhalation studies.
