Abstract

Objective: To identify and describe pollutants with carcinogenic potential that contaminate indoor and outdoor air, food and soil.

Data source: The descriptors environmental pollutants, occupational cancer, prevention and soil pollutants were used to conduct the research for literature review. Articles published from 2003 to 2024 in the electronic databases Pubmed Medline, Lilacs and Scielo, in Portuguese and English, were included.

Summary of findings: There are multiple sources of pollution in the external and internal environments, including motor vehicles, industrial facilities, smoke from tobacco products, agricultural activities, fires and domestic combustion devices. The most important pollutants related to chemical substances include all forms of asbestos, benzene, exhaust gases from gasoline engines, food and water contaminants, such as arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds, in addition to persistent organic pollutants, such as dioxins. The use of fossil fuels and biomass for domestic heating are also important sources of pollution. The carcinogenic potential of pollutants varies according to the sources of pollution, climate conditions and the region's topography.

Conclusions: Global environmental pollution is an international public health problem with multiple health effects. Many environmental pollutants are proven to be carcinogenic to adults, while few causes have been scientifically established for children. Pollution is mainly caused by uncontrolled urbanization and industrialization. Preventing environmental exposure to carcinogenic pollutants requires both government regulation and community action and commitment.

环境污染与癌症
目标:确定并描述污染室内外空气、食物和土壤的具有致癌潜力的污染物:文献综述研究使用了环境污染物、职业癌症、预防和土壤污染物等描述词。研究结果摘要:外部和内部环境中存在多种污染源,包括机动车、工业设施、烟草产品烟雾、农业活动、火灾和家用燃烧装置。与化学物质有关的最重要污染物包括各种形式的石棉、苯、汽油发动机排出的废气、食物和水污染物(如砷和无机砷化合物)以及持久性有机污染物(如二恶英)。家庭取暖使用化石燃料和生物质也是重要的污染源。污染物的致癌潜力因污染源、气候条件和地区地形而异:全球环境污染是一个国际公共卫生问题,对健康有多重影响。许多环境污染物已被证实对成人具有致癌性,而对儿童的致癌原因却很少有科学依据。污染的主要原因是无节制的城市化和工业化。防止在环境中接触致癌污染物既需要政府的监管,也需要社区的行动和承诺。
