Abstract

2-Bromopropane, a causative chemical that caused the outbreak of reproductive toxicity 28 years ago, was classified as Group 2A in the recently held IARC monograph 133 meeting. Korean research data were used as supporting data in the carcinogenicity evaluation of 2-bromopropane and other carcinogens. I would like to share my memories with the researchers at the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute who worked hard to identify the cause.
