various toxins found in electronic cigarettes, the toxins found in cigarettes have higher amounts. It was even discovered that in electronic cigarettes "the levels of the toxicants were 9-450 times lower than in cigarette smoke" (Levels Of Selected Carcinogens and Toxicants In Vapour From Electronic…

A little knowledge about hair: Hair grows from hair follicles, which are embedded below the skin on your scalp. The root of the hair is the part that comes through the scalp. Anything that comes after the root of the hair are the hair strands. The bottom of the root in the hair follicle is known as the hair bulb. The bulb is where nutrients get absorbed and form new hair. As hair is pushed up through the hair follicle and towards the surface of your scalp, it is known as keratinization. Keratin…

cancer”. Those who propose absolute freedom will propose that it’s “my body, my right”, but according to this free country we live in it’s illegal to kill yourself. So why should we force help onto those that use a knife, but not to those who use a carcinogen? Banning these cancer sticks will never happen in America as a whole, but helping students live a smoke free life should be promoted on college campuses, as much as good academics and being a “well-rounded individual” is.

bacteria initially lead to its own suit of problems of which are less discussed. The chlorine reacted with organic matter in the water forming a common class of disinfection byproducts, trihalomethanes (THMs), which are tasteless and odorless known carcinogens (1999). THMs can be taken into the body via drinking and adsorption through the skin (Hood, 2005). Therefore, not only is drinking the water a concern, but now, the water is damaging just to be in contact with all before Pb introduction.…

mutations include spontaneous happenings due to error and mutagens, which are chemical or physical agents that affect DNA in a way that causes mutation (Simon, 2017). While the spontaneous errors are not preventable, mutagens are. Many mutagens are carcinogens, which are cancer-causing…

to environmental pollution is significant in air and water. Worcester County’s pollution compared to Massachusetts is a major site for chemical release. According to Goodguide, 2011 data, risk for carcinogen in the air and water is 70-80%. Worcester County’s population is at higher risk for carcinogen-associated disease due to this toxic level. Toxins released from the air are 80-90%(Good Guide, 2011b). Massachusetts is considered an environmentally unpolluted state (Good Guide, 2011a).…

broadened the EPA authorization to examine a carcinogenic effect of asbestos and its tendency to cause other diseases (Wecker, 1994). By the time the EPA set out to regulate asbestos, it had accumulated evidence to indicate that it was a “highly potent carcinogen” and could cause other diseases as well, including “mesothelioma” (sometimes referred to as “black lung disease”) (Masur & Posner, 2016). Therefore, in 1989, EPA three stages asbestos ban rule, which prohibited approximately 94 percent…

On the contrary, I argue that a vegan diet is not a healthy necessity for humans and the planet. The vegan diet does not provide the necessary micronutrients that a non-vegan person receives. In addition, by not providing the nutrients from animal…
