Minimizing exposure to chemical carcinogens involves both personal and regulatory actions. On a personal level, individuals can reduce their risk by avoiding known hazardous substances, using protective equipment, and making informed lifestyle choices. On a larger scale, government regulations and workplace safety standards play crucial roles in reducing exposure to harmful chemicals. Agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set guidelines and enforce regulations to protect public health.
