Environmental pollution and carcinogenic risk.

Authors: F, Karaer;

Environmental pollution and carcinogenic risk.

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between environmental pollution and environmental carcinogens has been investigated. There is an alarming increase of diverse natural and man-made carcinogens in consumer goods and industrial wastes. Research carried out in Ankara and Istanbul has found detergents and arsenic in the drinking water to be 140 times higher than the World Health Organization (WHO standards. In addition, air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, particles, and fumes have been determined to be 4 times higher than the WHO standards. A similar situation has been noted in the soil pollution of the country. Pesticides and insecticides used in agriculture are seriously harming human health. It is necessary that the government and institutions establish effective controls and protective measures and educate the people.
