Yes, fossil fuels can contribute to cancer risk. The combustion of fossil fuels releases various carcinogenic substances, including benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be inhaled or absorbed by the body. Additionally, air pollution from fossil fuel use is linked to respiratory diseases and has been associated with increased cancer risk, particularly lung cancer. Long-term exposure to these pollutants can elevate the likelihood of developing cancer and other health issues.
