It should be noted that a chemical being on the IARC list of “possible” carcinogens is not terribly indicting; the threshold to get on that list is very very low. Caffeine is on it, for instance, as are aloe Vera, ginkgo biloba, “carpentry and joinery”, diesel fuel, dry cleaning, pickled vegetables, magnetic fields,…
