Furans are best avoided, but for some processes, unavoidable. It has been classified as a nongenotoxic carcinogen. Furan is thought to be activated to a reactive intermediate, cis-2-butene-1,4-dial that alkylates proteins leading to a toxic response. The resulting chronic toxicity stimulates cell replication, which increases the likelihood of tumor production..perhaps.
