IARC Monographs are publications by which organization?

• A. International Agency for Research on Cancer
• B. International Association for Research on Chemicals
• C. Indian Agency for Research on Carcinogens
• D. International Bureau of Radiation and Cancer

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is knowing who publishes the IARC Monographs. The International Agency for Research on Cancer is a specialized agency of the World Health Organization, and it publishes the IARC Monographs—the authoritative series that evaluates the carcinogenic risks of various substances and exposures to humans. These volumes synthesize scientific evidence to help regulators and researchers understand which agents are linked to cancer and how strong that link is. The other names listed aren’t the organization responsible for these publications, so they don’t fit as the publisher of the IARC Monographs.
