Indeed, you’re completely right, and I should have known (can’t edit the comment any more). FYI, the IARC publishes a comprehensive list of their classifications: https://monographs.iarc.fr/list-of-classifications-volumes/ https://monographs.iarc.fr/list-of-classifications-volumes/ That said, they still classify lots of things we regularly interact with as carcinogenic, or likely carcinogenic. And I’m not even disputing these classifications but they show that such classifications need to be understood in context.
