Environmental Pollution and the Risk of Breast Cancer

Environmental pollution impacts the health of millions globally. Diesel vehicle emissions, which produce black smoke, are a major source of harmful air pollutants, including fine particles and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can infiltrate the human body and cause long-term health issues.

A particularly troubling concern is the potential connection between long-term exposure to these pollutants and an increased risk of breast cancer. Recent research from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences indicates that suspended particles can act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with the body's hormone systems and potentially fostering cancer development, including breast cancer.

Elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a pollutant associated with traffic, have been linked to a higher risk of breast cancer. Women residing in areas with pollution from substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium face an increased likelihood of developing postmenopausal breast cancer.

Raising awareness about the risks of air pollution and black smoke is crucial. Solutions such as using Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in diesel engines can significantly cut emissions, reducing exposure to these harmful pollutants and potentially lowering the risk of serious illnesses like breast cancer.

At Transliquid, we are dedicated to advancing cleaner, more sustainable practices to enhance air quality and safeguard public health. By adopting technologies that cut emissions, we strive to create a healthier and safer future for everyone.

Combating environmental pollution is vital, not only for protecting the environment, but also for safeguarding human health. Reducing black smoke emissions is a key step toward lowering the risk of serious diseases, including breast cancer.
