Cancer causes

A large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are known Many have been synthesized m the laboratory and several of the others are products of com bustion Benzo[a]pyrene for example is present m tobacco smoke contaminates food cooked on barbecue grills and collects m the soot of chimneys Benzo[a]pyrene is a carcinogen (a cancer causing substance) It is converted m the liver to an epoxy diol that can induce mutations leading to the uncontrolled growth of certain cells...

Special Precautions. Use of sodium nitrite or other nitrosating agents in formulations containing nikanolamines could lead to formation of suspected cancer-causing nitrosamines. [Pg.9]

There are many definitions of the word risk. It is a combination of uncertainty and damage a ratio of Itazards to safeguards a triplet combination of event, probability, and consequences or even a measure of economic loss or human injury in terms of both the incident likelihood and tlie magnitude of the loss or injuiy (AICliE, 1989). People face all kinds of risks eveiyday, some voluntarily and otliers involuntarily. Tlierefore, risk plays a very important role in today s world. Studies on cancer caused a turning point in tlie world of risk because it opened tlie eyes of risk scientists and healtli professionals to tlie world of risk assessments. [Pg.287]

If OSHA, the National Toxicology Program (NTP), or tire International Agency for Research on Cancer (lARC) listed the compound as a carcinogen (cancer causing agent), it must be indicated as such on Uie MSDS. [Pg.305]

Tlierc are two major categories or risk nonfixable and fi.vable. Nonfi.vable risks can never substantially be reduced, such as cancer-causing sunlight. Fi.vable risks can be reduced, and include those risks tliat are both large and small. The outcome or end result of risk reduction should be to obtain tlie most reduction possible. This essentially and often means tliat tlie tecluiical community should concentrate on the big fi.vable targets, and leave tlie smaller ones to later. [Pg.536]

If the concepts and facts presented in this paper are correct, a major kind of human cancer in many regions of the world, cancer of the stomach, is due to a type of nitroso compound, a nitrosoureido derivative, even though not a nitrosamine It is quite certain that the formation of such compounds can be blocked by vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as by some other substances such as gallates Thus, the primary prevention of cancer caused by nitroso compounds is readily accomplished through an adequate Intake of such harmless inhibitors with every meal from infancy onwards ...
