Carcinogenicity
A: General Product Information
No association has been established between occupational exposure to petroleum asphalt and cancer in humans. For more
information, see section below on Chronic Toxicity.
B: Component Carcinogenicity
Asphalt (8052-42-4)
ACGIH: A4 - Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen (as benzene soluble aerosol)
IARC: Group 3 - Not Classifiable (IARC Supplement 7 [1987], Monograph 35 [1985])
Chronic Toxicity
Asphalt fumes arise from hot asphalt. Asphalt (CAS # 8052-42-4): In 1985/87, IARC (International Agency for Research on
Cancer) concluded the following: (a) Bitumens are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). (b) Extracts
of steam- and air-refined bitumens are possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). IARC found that evidence for
carcinogenicity from animal studies was: inadequate for undiluted air-refined bitumens; limited for steam-refined and cracking-
residue bitumens; sufficient for extracts of steam-refined and air-refined bitumen. IARC found that human evidence for
carcinogenicity of asphalt fumes was inadequate. Studies of roofers indicated an excess of cancers; however, IARC concluded
that, since roofers may be exposed also to coal-tar pitches and other materials, "the excess cancer risk cannot be attributed
specifically to bitumens." In 1994, a published review of 20 epidemiology studies of asphalt workers and roofers agreed with
IARC, that current human evidence is inadequate for the carcinogenicity of asphalt fumes in humans. Trace amounts of
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be present in some asphalts and can be released upon excessive heating,
which results in thermal cracking of the asphalt compounds. Some of these PAHs have been identified as having the potential
to induce carcinogenic and reproductive health effects.
Other Toxicological Information
