Air pollution causes lung cancer
UV radiation causes melanomas and basal and squamous skin carcinomas
What else can I help you with?
How do you know that the environment influences the formation of cancer?
Because the environmental influences of cancer are clear when it is noted that people in different countries get different types of cancers at different rates.
What evidence shows that the environmental influences that occurrence of cancer?
cigarette smoke, air and water pollution, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun increase the risk of cancer.
What is the environmental and health effect of radiation?
being exposed to radiation could cause cancer.
What kinds of problems does asbestos cause?
Asbestos can be the cause of:lung cancer (can be confounded with other environmental exposures),asbestosis ( today considered to be rare), andmesothelioma (cancer of lining of the lung).
Why do people develop breast cancer?
People develop breast cancer when cells in the breast grow abnormally and form a tumor. This can happen due to genetic factors, lifestyle choices, hormonal influences, or environmental exposures.
What are the causes of cancer heredity or environment?
Both. Oncogenes, which are heritable, can lead to a statistically increased chance of cancer in people who inherit these variant genes that are prone to cancerous rebellion. There are many environmental agents, such as the tars in cigarettes, that can be an environmental cause of cancer. sometimes these two causes are linked together in the formation of cancer in a person.
Did Australian indigenous people have cancer before the Europeans settled?
Yes, Australian indigenous people did experience cancer before European settlement. However, the rates of cancer were likely lower compared to contemporary rates due to factors such as diet, lifestyle, and environmental influences.
Are there environmental factors or influences for down syndrome?
No.
Is lung cancer environmental?
Depends. Lung cancer can be caused by environmental features, like bad air conditioning in one's working area, asbestos and/or smoke. Still the most common carsinogen that causes lung cancer is smoking. Passive smoking could be counted as an environmental factor in the cause of lung cancer, but when was the last time you heard of someone getting lung cancer from passive smoking?
Why is it so difficult to find a cause for cancer?
Cancer is complex and can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Additionally, different types of cancer may have different causes, making it challenging to pinpoint one definitive cause for all cancers. The process of cancer development is also influenced by a wide range of factors that interact in complex ways, further complicating efforts to identify a single cause.
What are two possible environmental factors that can cause cancer?
Exposure to carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke or ultraviolet radiation, can increase the risk of developing cancer by damaging DNA. Additionally, environmental pollutants like asbestos or radon can also contribute to the development of cancer by causing genetic mutations in cells.
What is the relationship between environmental factors and cancer?
The risk of cancer increases if people are exposed to carcinogens (factors causing cancer,ex radiation) certain environmental fators such as cigarette smoke pollution and uv rays can damage the genes that control the production of enzymes involved in the cycle. uncontrolled cell division that leads to cancer may result
