Can Lifestyle Choices Influence Exposure to Complex Mixtures?
Lifestyle choices play a crucial role in determining exposure levels to complex mixtures. For example, smoking tobacco or using certain cosmetic products can lead to direct exposure to harmful mixtures. Dietary choices also matter; consumption of certain processed meats exposes individuals to nitrosamines, a class of carcinogens formed during processing. Awareness and modification of such lifestyle factors can reduce exposure and potentially lower cancer risk.
