The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the cancer research agency of the World Health Organization, revised its website "Monographs on the Identification of Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans" on 18 February 2020.

This revision is to notify the publication of full paper (online version) of "IARC Monographs Vol.123: some nitrobenzenes and other industrial chemicals".
https://monographs.iarc.fr/news-events/volume-123-some-nitrobenzenes-and-other-industrial-chemicals-2/
The agents included are ortho-phenylenediamine and its dihydrochloride salt, 2-chloronitrobenzene, 4-chloronitrobenzene, 1,4-dichloro-2-nitrobenzene, 2,4-dichloro-1-nitrobenzene, 2-amino-4-chlorophenol, para-nitroanisole, and N,N-dimethylacetamide.
All of the agents were classified as "possibly carcinogenic to humans"(Group 2B).

* The most recent version of the Monographs is still "Vol.125: Some Industrial Chemical Intermediates and Solvents".
And there is no change in the carcinogenic hazard categories for EMFs.
