Notes

^ - Group 2B human carcinogen (IARC), *4-COT is the metabolite of chlordimeform. Pesticide exposure in applicators, manufacturers, farmers and other occupations with diverse exposures to mixtures of pesticides has been associated with testicular ca. In these studies, it was not possible to correlate an individual pesticide exposure with disease. Parental exposure to pesticides has also been associated with testicular ca. in male offspring.
