Carcinogenicity: IARC – There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of naphthalene but sufficient evidence in experimental animals for carcinogenicity: Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) – Available data are inadequate to establish a causal association between exposure to naphthalene and cancer in humans. Reproductive Effects: None known. Target Organs: Ocular, respiratory, dermal, central nervous system, hemopoietic, and gastrointestinal.
