Cancer-causing agents.
There are many stages in the normal control of a cell that carcinogens can attack, but the basic story is this:
Some carcinogens cause mutations that make abnormal cells and some carcinogens deactivate the p53 gene which causes abnormal cells to commit suicide, so now there is an abnormal cell that will live longer and hence produce more daughter cells which will do the same. These cells usually do not "stick" very well to other cells around them and so detach and invade blood vessels and spread to other parts of the body where they disrupt the normal function of those organs also.
Something that causes cancer is called a carcinogen. If there is a carcinogen in food, it could cause cancer.
Ultimate carcinogen: It is activated and chemically reactive form of a carcinogen or procarcinogen that is capable of direct covalent binding to nucleic acid or protein macromolecules. For example: Benzo(a)pyrene is an ultimate carcinogen.
No, calcium chloride is not considered a carcinogen. It is commonly used as a food additive, deicer, and in various industrial applications. Studies have not shown it to have carcinogenic properties.
Ammonia is not classified as a carcinogen by major regulatory agencies or organizations such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, high levels of exposure to ammonia can be irritating to the respiratory system and may cause lung damage in extreme cases.
The following cleaning materials and agents are harmful for human health: Chlorinated phenols which are found in toilet bowl cleaners are toxic to respiratory and circulatory systems. Di ethylene glycol which are found in window cleaners depresses the nervous system. Phenols found in disinfectants are toxic to respiratory and circulatory systems. Nonylphenol ethoxylate, a common surfactant (detergent) and it is found in laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners Formaldehyde found in spray and wick deodorizers is a respiratory irritant and suspected carcinogen. Petroleum solvents in floor cleaners damage mucous membranes. Perchloroethylene, a spot remover, causes liver and kidney damage. Methylene chloride is listed as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and is commonly found in paint strippers.
Iron is not a carcinogen. Iron is a mineral which can be found in a human body. Even iron oxide is not a carcinogen.
Cancer can be a carcinogen. Carcinogen are usually in breast cancer.
yes it is a carcinogen
Coumadin is not a carcinogen.
Pollen is not considered a carcinogen. It is a natural substance produced by plants for reproductive purposes, and while it can sometimes trigger allergies in sensitive individuals, it is not known to cause cancer.
"UVA is a known carcinogen".
No, honey is not a considered carcinogen.
A carcinogen.
A Carcinogen.
According to mastering biology, yes, fat is a carcinogen.
Carcinogen are cancer causing agents, not tissues.
Poison, toxin, or chemicals. Those mean carcinogen.
