Summary
This article was about the increasing percentage of breast cancer spread out on the whole world cause by chemicals and pollutions. The risk is 1 in 8 for all women. The women's blood is being tested for traces of dozens of pollutants - used by industry and found in many consumer products - that can impersonate estrogen and other hormones. " As researchers looking at adult outcomes of disease processes such as breast cancer, one of the biggest challenges we face is trying to get a handle on prenatal exposures and what is going on in the prenatal environment." said Shanna Swan, an environmental health scientist at Mount Sinai School of medicine in New York |
Reflection
Air pollution has already been linked to a range of health problems. Now, a ground-breaking new study suggests pollution from traffic may put women at risk for another deadly disease, links the risk of breast cancer -- the second leading cause of death from cancer in women -- to traffic-related air pollution. Chemical in products also impact on women cancers. In 2011, an institute of the National Academies of Sciences reported " a possible link " between breast cancer and some common ingredients of vihcle exhaust, benzene and 1,3-butadiene. But the report said the jury is still out for most other widespread chemicals, such as pesticides, ingredients of cosmetics and bisphenol A (BPA) Only 5 to 10 % can be accounted for by genetics; other known risk factors include age, obesity and low physical activity.
Breast cancer spreads faster everyday, rapidly increases in women. Chemicals in products, gas pollutions, toxicity, etc. are the causes of breast cancer. Reduce chemicals in products, walk or ride bikes can assist prevent the cancer spread out.
