Did you know air pollution, chemicals, and radiation can increase your cancer risk?

KDAH

Things like air pollution, toxic chemicals, radiation, and even the plastic products you use can all contribute to higher cancer risks. For instance, polluted air can lead to lung cancer, especially in cities with high pollution levels. Certain chemicals found in pesticides, cleaning products, and even in some workplaces, like asbestos and benzene, are also linked to cancer. Additionally, exposure to radiation from the sun, X-rays, or radon gas in homes can increase the likelihood of developing cancer, which is why wearing sunscreen and testing for radon is so important. Chemicals in plastics, like BPA, disrupt hormones and have been associated with an increased risk of cancer, so opting for glass or stainless steel alternatives can make a difference. While you can’t control everything, making small changes in our daily lives—like choosing eco-friendly products, avoiding overexposure to the sun, and testing for harmful gases—can reduce your cancer risk. #CancerAwareness #CancerPrevention #EcoFriendly #ProtectYourself #CancerRisk #RadiationSafety #HealthyChoices #WorldCancerDay
