| Carcinogen | The definition of carcinogen refers to any substance, radionuclide or radiation that is an agent directly involved in the promotion of cancer or in the facilitation of its propagation. This may be due to ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes. Several radioactive substances are considered carcinogens, but their carcinogenic activity is attributed to the radiation, for example gamma rays and alpha particles, which they emit. Common examples of carcinogens are, inhaled asbestos, certain dioxins, and tobacco smoke. Carcinogens are also hazardous materials found inside e-waste which is electronic equipment. |
