Exhibit 154 · Classification summary

Carcinogenicity of tetrachlorvinphos, parathion, malathion, diazinon, and glyphosate

For the herbicide glyphosate, there was limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

A working group of 17 experts from 11 countries, meeting at IARC on 3–10 March 2015, classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A), on limited evidence in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and sufficient evidence in experimental animals. The full evaluation appeared as IARC Monographs Volume 112.
