ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC CARCINOGENS: THEIR IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH

Аннотация

Environmental and anthropogenic carcinogens pose significant risks to human health, contributing to the development of various types of cancer. This study provides a comprehensive review of the sources, exposure pathways, and mechanisms of action of these carcinogens. The investigation focuses on the potential carcinogenic effects of these agents on human populations, exploring epidemiological evidence and mechanistic studies. Key carcinogens discussed include air pollutants, industrial chemicals, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and radiation. The impact of long-term exposure and synergistic effects on cancer risk is also examined. Understanding the role of environmental and anthropogenic carcinogens in cancer development is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies and regulatory measures to safeguard public health. KEYWORDS Environmental carcinogens, anthropogenic carcinogens, cancer, human health, air pollutants, industrial chemicals, pesticides, tobacco smoke, radiation, cancer risk, exposure pathways, mechanistic studies, prevention strategies, public health.
