I may quote:

Nevertheless, because of the concerns Dr. Clark has raised about the
safety of externally applied isopropyl alcohol, we have tried to do our
own independent research. What we have found is that, according to the
best scientific data available at this time, isopropyl alcohol is not a
carcinogen when used externally. Nasal cancers found in workers in
factories where this type of alcohol is produced are due not to the
isopropyl alcohol itself but to the strong acid used in its manufacture.
The "Material Safety Data Sheet" on Hibiclens® (which contains isopropyl
alcohol as a main ingredient) published by ICI Americas, Inc. states:
The manufacture of isopropyl alcohol by the strong acid process is
associated with paranasal sinus and laryngeal cancer in man. No other
information or data have linked isopropyl alcohol with cancer.1

PLEASE. provide one working document (from a reliable source) that says
it is carcinogenic and i will apologize for not believing you.

I have checked several MSDS and NONE stated IPA is carcinogen.

please research more carefully.
