[발암물질] 20가지 발암물질-원인 목록… 교대근무도 포함돼

미국암학회(ACS)와 국립직업안전보건연구소(NIOSH), 국립환경보건과학연구소(NEHS), 국립암연구소(NCI)가 20가지 발암물질-원인 목록을 발표했다는 소식입니다. 교대근무(Shift work)가 20번째 목록에 들어있네요. 주야 맞교대 노동자, 경비노동자, 택시노동자, 24시간 편의점 비정규직 노동자 등 24시간 시대를 살아가는 많은 현대인들이 암에 노출되어 있다고 해석할 수 있겠습니다.

Cancer-causing agents


The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or NIOSH, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute also helped sponsor the report, which names the following agents:


- Lead and lead compounds


- Indium phosphide


- Cobalt with tungsten carbide


- Titanium dioxide


- Welding fumes


- Refractory ceramic fibers


- Diesel exhaust


- Carbon black


- Styrene-7,8-oxide and styrene


- Propylene oxide


- Formaldehyde


- Acetaldehyde


- Dichloromethane, methylene chloride (DCM)


- Trichloroethylene (TCE)


- Tetrachloroethylene (perc, tetra, PCE)


- Chloroform


- Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)


- Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)


- Atrazine


-Shift work

WASHINGTON – THE American Cancer Society and three federal agencies named 19 chemicals and shift work on Thursday as potential causes of cancer that deserve more investigation.


The group published a report with the backing of international experts who said the 20 potential causes they identified had fairly good evidence that they may be a danger and deserved more follow-up.


Most are familiar names, such as chloroform, formaldehyde and polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs, but the list includes indium phosphide, a relatively new compound used in making flat-screen televisions.


All have been classified as possible carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer or IARC, the United Nations cancer agency.


‘These particular ones were picked for two reasons. One is there is more of a hint in most cases that they might be involved with cancer,’ Elizabeth Ward of the American Cancer Society, who helped lead the work, said in a telephone interview. But at the same time, she said, the studies that could make a definitive link are missing.


The second reason is that some of the potential agents or causes are very common. —
