(7 years ago)The exposure to contaminated air during pregnancy and the first year of life has been linked to higher risk from cancer to childhood, scientists from the University of California have announced. Their study uses data on cancer exposure to 3,600 children and data on the scale [...]
Their study uses data on the presentation of cancer to 3,600 children and data on the degree of air pollution in areas where they lived.
Those results have been compared to the data of 3,600 healthy children.
And how greater air pollution is related to additional risk increases from cancer to children of that age has been proved.
The increase in risk from disease has been 5 percent of the leu, and as much as 15 percent for test and ovarian cancer.
Scientists add that additional tests must be made before the resulting trigger link between air pollution and the greatest risk of cancer in children is confirmed. /Telegraphy/
