International Agency for Research on Cancer has thus stipulated more than 10 HAAs as possible (class 2B) human carcinogens and 2amino-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-F]quinoline (IQ) even as a probable (class 2A) human carcinogen (Jinap et al, 2013;Lu, Kuhnle, & Cheng, 2017b;Murkovic, 2004;Alaejos, Ayala, González, & Afonso, 2008;Szterk, 2015;Zhang et al, 2012).…”
