Acrylamide

Inhalation exposure to acrylamide at the workplace may cause cancer. In 2006, the Health Council estimated the concentrations that correspond to 4 additional cancer deaths per 1,000 and 100,000 employees exposed for 40 years. The Health Council has evaluated the data available on the exposure to acrylamide and the risk of cancer, and concludes that there is no reason to revise its previous report.
