Environmental exposure to carcinogens in northwestern Cameroon [PDF]
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 ...

Paving the Way to Elucidate Hg's Role in Tumorigenesis
Advanced ScienceTumorigenesis can be induced by diverse environmental carcinogens, with mercury (Hg)—a global pollutant that accumulates in humans throughout life, crosses the blood‐brain and placental barriers, and is poorly excreted—classified as a Group 2B carcinogen;

Genetic polymorphisms and metabolism of endocrine disruptors in cancer susceptibility
Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2002 Epidemiological studies have estimated that approximately 80% of all cancers are related to environmental factors. Individual cancer susceptibility can be the result of several host factors, including differences in metabolism, DNA repair, altered ...

Molecular mechanisms of air pollution–induced carcinogenesis and the emerging role of microplastics
Human GenomicsAmbient air pollution is a major environmental carcinogen consisting of a complex mixture of particulate matter, gases, and adsorbed toxicants. Fine (PM2.5) and ultrafine (PM0.1) particles are of particular concern due to their capacity to penetrate deep
