Introduction
Occupational cancer deaths in Great Britain are still at an unacceptable level. Rushton et al. [1] estimate that there are .7000 deaths attributable to work-related carcinogens for the six cancers that they assessed, 4.9% of the total cancer deaths. In comparison, there are just .3000 people who lose their lives in road traffic accidents in Britain and
240 died as a consequence of accidents at work.
There are .170 chemicals or exposure circumstances that have been classified by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) as known or probable human carcinogens (Groups 1 and 2a, respectively). In addition, there are 250 substances or circumstances that are classified as possibly carcinogenic in humans (Group
2b). Details are available on the IARC website (http:// monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Classification/index.php). A large proportion of these substances may be found in workplaces, either because they are used in processes or because they are emitted during the operation of
processes.

These areas of research are of international concern; both in Western and developing countries. However, population – or even laboratory - studies are rare that focus on the early exposures or developmental changes that likely lead to the risks associated with endocrine disruptors. Among the studies in the area are those carried out in the Breast Cancer & the Environment Research Program on which Dr Reinlib is a team member and in his overall portfolio of mammary…

    Cance Cancer Essay

    Many cancers have a genetic component; around 5% of all cancers are “strongly hereditary, in that an inherited genetic alteration confers a very high risk of developing one or more specific types of cancer.” (American Cancer Society, 2013, p. 1) Carcinogenic substances can cause cancer if a person comes into contact with them. Some examples of these substances are the chemical benzene, the mineral asbestos, and physical objects like x-rays and ultraviolet light. (American Cancer Society, 2013, p. 47) The chemicals in cancer are well known to cause cancer; “smoking accounts for at least 30% of all cancer deaths and 87% of lung cancer deaths.” (American Cancer Society, 2013, p. 35) However, most cancers are caused by “interactions between a person’s genes and the environment.” (Rolfes, 2011, p. 626) In fact, around 25% to 33% of cancers that occur in the US are due to “poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and excess weight, and thus could be prevented.” (American Cancer Society, 2013, p.…

    The Procedure for Ames Test

    • 6 Pages

    The Procedure for Ames Test

    The Ames test is a biological assay to assess the mutagenic potential of chemical compounds.[1] A positive test indicates that the chemical is mutagenic and therefore may act as a carcinogen, since cancer is often linked to mutation. However, a number of false-positives and false-negatives are known.[2] The test serves as a quick and convenient assay to estimate the carcinogenic potential of a compound since standard carcinogen assays on rodents are time-consuming (taking two to three years to complete) and expensive. The procedure is described in a series of papers from the early 1970s by Bruce Ames and his group at the University of California, Berkeley.…
