How Can We Reduce the Risk from Environmental Exposures?
Reducing the risk involves multiple strategies, such as:
- Implementing and enforcing regulations to limit emissions of carcinogens. - Promoting the use of safer alternatives to known carcinogens in industrial processes. - Encouraging protective measures, like using personal protective equipment (PPE) in high-risk occupations. - Raising public awareness about the risks of indoor radon, secondhand smoke, and excessive sun exposure.
