RADIATION IS ONE SURE FACTOR TO CAUSE CANCER:
WHY INCIDENCE OF CANCER IS ON INCREASE DESPITE LEAPS OF SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS?
There is no doubt that the incidence of cancer is on increase. Where ever you read, listen to radio or TV, you have more and more cases of cancer coming to light. It is also known that some of these cancer incidences are specifically related to some causative reasons. These have been accepted in scientific literature and are also known to lay public to a major extent. However, for some reason the public has not taken a special notice of some of these causative agents. A general feeling is that the cancer can happen but to someone else, not me.
ETIOLOGY OF DIFFERENT CANCERS: There are many factors blamed to cause higher incidence of cancers. Some of them have been accepted to be true. Proper guidelines are being formulated and given to the public by relevant authorities in different countries. We shall discuss first those agents which have been accepted without many arguments. General lay public MUST try and avoid exposure to any of these agents. Some of these agents may need further research, but have a lot of weight of proof on its side that these needs to be seriously explored.
We shall start with some of the most known causative agents which are least argued about. At every level, some active work needs to be done to ensure that the public awareness is increases, not only to the facts but also to avoid exposure to such known agents.
Atomic Power plants: (APPs): Higher incidence of Blood Cancers in the vicinity of APPs is a matter that is almost settled fact that we find much higher incidence of blood cancers near the APPs. At the end of November 2008, the Hippocratic Society Switzerland, www.hippokrates.ch, had an extraordinarily well attended meeting at the University Hospital of Zurich. The German childhood cancer study and risks of the nanotechnology were its controversial topics. In December 2007 the result of the Mainz Childhood Cancer Registry was publicly announced by its new head, Mrs. Professor Blettner: “Our study confirms that in Germany a relationship is observable between the proximity of the home to the nearest nuclear power plant at the time of diagnosis and the risk of contracting cancer (respectively leukaemia) before the child’s fifth birthday.
