Cancer Agents
Unfortunately in today’s world, cancer-causing agents are almost everywhere. They are in polluted air, smoke from cigarettes, exhaust from factories, the materials in our houses, and even in food and water.
While eating a diet rich in antioxidants can help, some of us are exposed to cancer agents that are beyond our control and can’t be fixed by a simple diet.
Asbestos, manganese poisoning and second-hand smoke are some of the most recent cancer agents being covered by the media today. Miners and construction workers are most at risk of mesothelioma, which is caused by asbestos exposure, and welders and steel workers are at risk of manganese poisoning, which is caused by metal fumes and causes symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease. Everyone who inhales second-hand cigarette smoke is at risk of lung cancer and heart disease.
Fortunately, many illnesses can be prevented if workplaces adhere to safety standards and if smokers keep a distance from everyone else while smoking. However, not everyone follows safety guidelines and they put other people at risk.
