The multitude and diversity of environmental carcinogens [PDF]
Environmental Research, 2007 We have recently proposed that lifestyle-related factors, screening and aging cannot fully account for the present overall growing incidence of cancer. In order to propose the concept that in addition to lifestyle related factors, exogenous environmental factors may play a more important role in carcinogenesis than it is expected, and may therefore ...

Biologic Markers in Risk Assessment for Environmental Carcinogens [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1991 The potential of biologic markers to provide more timely and precise risk assessments for environmental carcinogens is viewed against the current state-of-the-art in biological monitoring/molecular epidemiology. Biologic markers such as carcinogen-DNA adducts and oncogene activation are currently considered valid qualitative indicators of potential ...

The carcinogenicity of environmental tobacco smoke [PDF]
Carcinogenesis, 1997 Male strain A/J mice were exposed for 6 h a day, 5 days a week to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) generated from Kentucky 1R4F reference cigarettes. Chamber concentrations were 87 mg/m3 of total suspended particulate matter (TSP), 246 p.p.m. of CO and 16 mg/m3 of nicotine.

Epidemiological Research on Occupational and Environmental Carcinogens [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The cancer risk associated with exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens such as asbestos, benzene, radiation, or lifestyle carcinogens such as cigarette smoking depends on the entire history of exposure to the carcinogen, including the age of exposure and the time-varying intensity of exposure [...]

Environmental exposure to carcinogens in northwestern Cameroon
African Health Sciences, 2013 In developing countries, 6% of deaths are due to cancer but cancer prevention is not practiced. Humans can prevent themselves from a number of workplace and environmental carcinogens.To assess exposure to carcinogens, risky behaviours and associated preventive methods.A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on carcinogen exposure in ...

Hepatic immune response to environmental carcinogens
Pharmacognosy Magazine, 2018 Aim: Environmental carcinogenic substances contribute to increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We employed a sensitive method for the detection of DNA damage combined with analysis of the immune response to gain better knowledge how environmental carcinogens mediate pathology.
