Benzene has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen ("carcinogenic to humans") by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC 2012, 2018) and as carcinogenic to humans by the Government of Canada (Canada 1993). Benzene was added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of CEPA 1999 (Canada 1999a). The adverse health effects of benzene have been reviewed and assessed in previous Canadian and international guideline documents (Canada 1993; ATSDR 2007; Health Canada 2009; Health Canada 2013).
