Synopsis
Is everyday exposure to detergent chemicals linked to cancer? Cancer Risk Factors examines this concerning possibility, synthesizing epidemiological studies and public health data to explore potential connections between long-term exposure and cancer incidence. The book uniquely focuses on the cumulative impact of low-level chemical exposures from common household products, challenging conventional assumptions about chemical safety and demonstrating the importance of understanding dose-response relationships. For example, while high doses of certain chemicals are known carcinogens, the book asks if sustained, lower-level exposures also pose a significant threat. This book is structured to introduce the main chemical classes found in detergents, review key epidemiological studies, and explore the biological plausibility of the associations through animal and in vitro experiments. A valuable resource for public health professionals and concerned consumers, Cancer Risk Factors offers a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis. It progresses from detailing the rise of synthetic detergents and toxicology principles, through analyses of cohort and case-control studies, to integrating molecular biology and toxicology findings.
