No statistically significant excess of all-cause or cause-specific mortality was found among acrylamide workers. Analysis by acrylamide exposure levels showed no trend of increased risk of mortality from several cancer sites. 14 Although an increase in pancreatic cancer was noted, there was no consistent exposure-response relationship. The IARC has determined that there is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of acrylamide and inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity to humans.
