Benzene is IARC Group 1, but bitumen (the mined asphalt used in TFA, as opposed to synthetic asphalt) appears to only be Group 2B. I doubt IARC has classified electric stoves. (coal stoves are Group 1; wood stoves Group 2A)
- ggm 3y agoWell as the Beatles sang "why don't we do it in the road" I love the smell of hot asphalt, amazing aromatics. From my reading the 2b classification relates to routine casual exposure in roadworks. Putting your lunch in the hot tar tub to cook it is probably not in their test schedule. https://publications.iarc.fr/53 https://publications.iarc.fr/53 (b) Rodents The animal pharmacokinetic profile of individual components of bitumen and bitumen emissions after inhalation, ingestion or dermal uptake was studied in considerable detail by Syracuse Research Corporation (1985). Data indicated that, after inhalation, hydrocarbons with 9–16 carbons were distributed into the blood, brain, liver, kidneys and fat of rats (ATSDR, 1999).

My OChem prof had the same fascinated quasi-obsession with potential DNA methylation that IT folk have with Stuxnet.
