What Types of Cancer are Linked to Physical Genotoxins?
Various cancers are linked to exposure to physical genotoxins. For example:
Skin Cancer: Primarily caused by UV radiation from the sun, leading to mutations in skin cells. Lung Cancer: Often associated with radon gas exposure and inhalation of radioactive particles. Leukemia: Can be linked to exposure to ionizing radiation, particularly in individuals exposed to high levels of radiation, such as atomic bomb survivors.
