Is xylene a carcinogen?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

Xylene is strongly suspected of being a carcinogen, though no definite conclusion appears to have been made on this issue. Err on the side of caution and assume that, in time, xylene will be found to produce cancer. If your business depends on marketing products using this chemical , why not find an alternative in order to protect the consumer from possible harm ?
