Profiles & Estimates
CAREX Canada has developed profiles and estimates of occupational and environmental exposure for a number of known, probable, and possible carcinogenic agents. The profiles detail carcinogenic evidence, main uses, regulatory information, and the potential for exposure to the Canadian population. The environmental exposure estimates have detailed information on where people in Canada are exposed, at the national and provincial levels. The occupational exposure estimates calculate the numbers of workers exposed by industry and occupation, and where data exist, levels of exposure are estimated. Detailed information about data sources and methods are available for all estimates and profiles.
These profiles and estimates can help scientists, policymakers and other experts in the area of cancer prevention to identify priorities and target communities or workplaces for further research or intervention work.
