carcinogenic

Examples of carcinogenic in the following topics:

• Toxins

  • The most potent toxin is AFB1 and it is associated with carcinogenic effects.
  • Ochratoxins have demonstrated carcinogenic properties and are often found in beverages such as beer and wine, as the fungal species which produce ochratoxins are often found on the plants used to produce these products.

• Fungi

  • Aspergillus flavus specifically produces aflatoxin which is both a toxin and carcinogen whereas Aspergillus fumigatus causes allergic disease.

• Aflatoxin Poisoning

  • There have been various studies stating that metabolic activation of aflatoxins is required for the aflatoxin to exert its carcinogenic effects.

• Factors that Affect Germicidal Activity of Chemicals

  • Octenidine is currently increasingly used in continental Europe as a QAC's and chlorhexidine (with respect to its slow action and concerns about the carcinogenic impurity 4-chloroaniline) substitute in water- or alcohol-based skin, mucosa, and wound antiseptic.

• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

  • As a pollutant, they are of concern because some compounds have been identified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic.
