Second-level matrix for hierarchical regression analysis, showing values of “prior covariates” for each pesticide of interest*†
| Pesticides | Insecticides | Organo-chlorines | Organo-phospates | Carbamates | Phenoxy-acetic acids | Triazines | Amides | Benzoic acids | Carcinogenic probability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *Carcinogenic probability value is created by combining the classifications from the IARC Monographs Programme on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans and the US EPA Integrated Risk Information System. Assignment of carcinogenic probability by order of priority: 1.0 = classified as a human carcinogen on either assessment; 0.9 = probable human carcinogen in both assessments; 0.8 = probable human carcinogen in one assessment and possible human carcinogen in other assessment; 0.6 = probable human carcinogen in one assessment and unclassifiable in the other; 0.5 = possible human carcinogen in both assessments, or possible human carcinogen in one assessment and not assessed by the other group; 0.3 = not assessed by IARC or US EPA IRIS, or deemed unclassifiable in one or both assessments; 0.1 = evidence for non-carcinogenicity in either assessment. | |||||||||
