Cancer Concerns: in relation to the environment

For an environmental contaminant to cause cancer or other diseases, there must be a completed pathway through which the contaminant travels to the human body. This could occur through air, water, food, or direct contact with the skin. Most environmental health scientists believe that only a small proportion of all cancers are related to toxic substances.
