A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element. It is most commonly found in building materials. Benzene is used as a solvent in chemical and pharmaceutical industry, and is released by oil refineries. Asbestos is a group of naturally produced chemicals composed of silicon compounds. It is used in insulation materials due to heat resistance.
