1 day ago · Ambient air pollution is an established risk factor for multiple diseases and has been recognised as a Group 1 human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) since 2013 ...
5 days ago · The AirToxScreen Mapping Tool currently includes the 2020 AirToxScreen assessment, with cancer risk data at the census block level. The 2019, 2018, and 2017 AirToxScreen assessments are available in an archived tool, linked here, with cancer risk data and noncancer hazard indices at the census tract level available in tabs.
5 days ago · In evaluating the results from such studies, consideration is given to many other factors, including chemical characterization of the compound(s) under study, the type of test species, similarities and differences between the test species and humans (e.g., chemical absorption and metabolism), the number of individuals in the study groups, the ...
4 days ago · Results Types of recreational exposures. The possible routes of exposure to cyanobacteria and their toxins in bloom-affected recreational waters can vary by the type and concentration of toxin present and the nature of the activity. 41 The activity type will determine the intensity and duration of exposure, but also the potential for concurrent routes of exposures by accidental ingestion ...
5 days ago · A weight-of-evidence approach is used by the U.S. EPA to classify the likelihood the agent in question is a human carcinogen. A three-stage procedure is followed. In the first stage, the evidence is characterized separately for human studies and for animal studies. Secondly, the human and animal evidence are combined into a presumptive overall ...
5 days ago · Definition. 00:00. …. A carcinogen is a substance, organism or agent capable of causing cancer. Carcinogens may occur naturally in the environment (such as ultraviolet rays in sunlight and certain viruses) or may be generated by humans (such as automobile exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke). Most carcinogens work by interacting with a cell’s ...
5 days ago · Somatic clonal expansion refers to the proliferation and expansion of a cell clone within a multicellular organism. Since cancer also results from the uncontrolled proliferation of few cell clones, it is generally believed that aging-associated somatic clonal expansion observed in normal tissues represents a precancerous condition. For instance, hematological malignancy is often preceded by ...
