Scientist did a study to see if pollution affected how many people get breast cancer. They found out that twenty-five % with increase of NO2. Basically people who live in higher poulluted areas are twice as likely to get breast cancer. This does not mean that NO2 causes breast cancer though. This can not be 100% accurt because it cannot tell how much pollution they have while they are out and about. With all this said, I wonder what kind of research could be done to see how we could prevent breast cancer and the realtionship between the two. If pollution did cause breast cancer, we as a society should work together to help save the planet and women who die for this every year.
This makes sense seeing as how harmful chemicals can cause issues within the body. I wonder if the Breast Cancer rate is higher in densely populated areas such as New York and L.A., and if so, that's a serious issue.
ReplyDeleteYes levi, it is a very serious issue. If we can find little ways to help reduce all sorts of cancers, just imagine how people would be inpacted and the enviroment.
ReplyDeleteI women who live in highly polluted areas are more likely to get breast cancer but NO2 isn't linked, what is the cause?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Levi and I think that if there are harmful substances in the air, most likely it will do something harmful to the human body.
