Water Pollution: Drinking Polluted Water Also Likely To Cause Cervical Cancer


It is no longer news that one of the leading causes of premature death, to this day, is cancer. And sadly enough, there is still no cure this threat to human health. Furthermore, while there are many environmental factors that are suspected to cause cancer, there are no absolute answer as to what actually causes cancer. However, what is certain is how  cancer develops in the body. The human body is made up of numerous amounts of cells that work every second to ensure optimum efficiency and health. When a change (external or internal) in the activities of these cells, it could damage one of the cell's DNA. This is how cancerous cells are formed and they begin to spread through the body.


Scientific research has stated that one of the best ways to avoid cancer is to limit the amount of environmental toxins that enter into the body. One important area where these pollutants enter the body that we often neglect is the water pollution. Some of the sources of environmental pollution that can pollute the water we drink are industrial wastes, metals, and chlorine by-products. For women, it is possible that a long term exposure to environmental pollutants in  drinking water can potentially lead to more gender specific problemssuch as breast or cervical cancer.


Although it is not entirely known what causes cervical cancer, the pollutants found in drinking water have been shown to have an effect on the DNA of reproducing cells. What is also know is that purified drinking water has been seen to have a cleansing effect on cancer patients due to it ability to flush many toxins out of the body. While there is still no cure for cancer, drinking lots of purified water is a good practice to protect the body against any illness including cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer starts at the lower part of the womb that opens at the top of the vagina. This cancer is very slow to progress and may take years for the cancer to be fully evident. If it is detected in the precancerous state by a pap smear, it is highly treatable. However, it can be extremely hard to detect if routine check-ups are put off, as there will be no obvious symptoms of the precancerous condition until it has fully spread.

Plastic Pollution: Environmental Health Of Workers Affected By Pollutant

Image
A new study in environmental science has revealed that workers in the industrial sector who use Bisphenol A or BPA in their manufacturing process may likely have up to 70 times the amount of this environmental pollutant in their bodies when compared to the average individual.  This environmental pollution from BPA has impacted negatively on reproduction and fertility. Studies even show that industrial BPA pollution in some worker were as much as a 1000 times higher than general household BPA exposure. The study which is the first to look into the exposure to BPA in the manufacturing industry discovered that most workers had high levels of the plastic pollutant which has been shown to affect environmental health by disrupting hormonal activities in the body just after a few days of exposure.   It has been suggested by environmental health and safety experts that this industrial level exposure to BPA may have a potentially fatal effect on reproductive health and fertility.

Environmental Research Shows That Omega-3 Oils May Reduce The Effects Of Air Pollution| The Guardian

Omega-3 oils could tackle damage caused by air pollution, research shows | Environment | The Guardian : "Supplements of healthy fats could be an immediate way of cutting the harm caused to billions around the world by air pollution, according to emerging research. However, the research also shows air pollution particles can penetrate through the lungs of lab animals into many major organs, including the brain and testicles. This raises the possibility that the health damage caused by toxic air is even greater than currently known. The new research on mice showed that omega-3 fatty acids (OFAs), found in flax, hemp and fish oils, can both prevent and treat the inflammation and oxidative stress caused by air pollution, with the OFAs delivering a 30-50% reduction in harm." Air pollution around the world is rising at an alarming rate,  according to the World Health Organization , with virtually all cities in poorer nations blighted by unhealthy air andmore tha

A recent study in the Ontario environment has raised general health worries about the effect of air pollution and traffic . T he study also found out that individuals who lived within 50 meters of a heavy traffic environment had a 7% higher risk of dementia when co mpared with individuals who lived more than 300 meters far from  such environment .
