WHO agency: Air pollution causes cancer

This is a May 7, 2013 file photo of a foreign tourist wearing a mask walks in front of Tiananmen Gate on a polluted day in Beijing, China. What many commuters choking on smog have long suspected has finally been scientifically validated: air pollution causes lung cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer declared on Thursday that air pollution is a carcinogen, alongside known dangers such as asbestos, tobacco and ultraviolet radiation. AP

LONDON — What many commuters choking on smog have long suspected has finally been scientifically validated: air pollution causes lung cancer.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer declared on Thursday that air pollution is a carcinogen, alongside known dangers such as asbestos, tobacco and ultraviolet radiation. The decision came after a consultation by an expert panel organized by IARC, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, which is based in Lyon, France.

“We consider this to be the most important environmental carcinogen, more so than passive smoking,” said Kurt Straif, head of the IARC department that evaluates cancer-causing substances.

IARC has previously deemed some of the components in air pollution such as diesel fumes to be carcinogens, but this is the first time it has classified air pollution in its entirety as cancer causing.

The risk to the individual is low, but Straif said the main sources of pollution are widespread, including transportation, power plants, and industrial and agricultural emissions.

“These are difficult things for the individual to avoid,” he said, observing the worrying dark clouds from nearby factories that he could see from his office window in Lyon. “When I walk on a street where there’s heavy pollution from diesel exhaust, I try to go a bit further away,” he said. “So that’s something you can do.”

The fact that nearly everyone on the planet is exposed to outdoor pollution could prompt governments and other agencies to adopt stricter controls on spewing fumes. Straif noted that WHO and the European Commission are reviewing their recommended limits on air pollution.

Previously, pollution had been found to boost the chances of heart and respiratory diseases.

The expert panel’s classification was made after scientists analyzed more than 1,000 studies worldwide and concluded there was enough evidence that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer.

In 2010, IARC said there were more than 220,000 lung cancer deaths worldwide connected to air pollution. The agency also noted a link with a slightly higher risk of bladder cancer.

Straif said there were dramatic differences in air quality between cities around the world and that the most polluted metropolises were in China and India, where people frequently don masks on streets to protect themselves.

“This is something governments and environmental agencies need to take care of,” Straif said. “People can certainly contribute by doing things like not driving a big diesel car, but this needs much wider policies by national and international authorities.”

Other experts emphasized the cancer risk from pollution for the average person was very low — but virtually unavoidable.

“You can choose not to drink or not to smoke, but you can’t control whether or not you’re exposed to air pollution,” said Francesca Dominici, a professor of biostatics at Harvard University’s School of Public Health. “You can’t just decide not to breathe,” she said. Dominici was not connected to the IARC expert panel.

A person’s risk for cancer depends on numerous variables, including genetics, exposure to dangerous substances and lifestyle choices regarding issues such as drinking alcohol, smoking and exercising.

Dominici said scientists are still trying to figure out which bits of pollution are the most lethal and called for a more targeted approach.

“The level of ambient pollution in the U.S. is much, much lower than it used to be, but we still find evidence of cancer and birth defects,” she said. “The question is: How are we going to clean the air even further?”

The 3 Most Effective Forms of Respiratory Protection - John Gower
 

When it comes to choosing the best, most effective types of respiratory protection, there’s a lot to consider. You have to think about the types of protection, what situations they work in and the advantages and disadvantages. It’s also important to consider the latest and greatest respiratory technology as well as the individuals using the respiratory protection. Of course, there’s a lot of information about respiratory protection available, from consumer advertisements to government regulations, so start with the basic information contained below.

Why and When are Respirators Used?

A respirator is a device that is made to protect the user from inhaling any harmful materials. They are used by many industries to protect employees, including the military, private and public industries. The respirators are used anytime a harmful material is present in the air, whether it’s dust, vapors, fumes, gases or any other dangerous material. There are two major types of respirators, the air purifying and the air-supplied types, described in more detail below. The situation you need protection in determines the type of respirator, which is appropriate to use.

Disposable Respirators

Disposable respirators are the simplest form of respiratory protection, offering a cheap way to protect workers from air particles like dust or mold. These respirators belong to the air-purifying category of respirators, meaning that the air you’re breathing is taken through a particulate respirator as you breath in. Most disposable respirators filter out at least 95% of harmful airborne particles. When using a disposable respirator, make sure it fits properly and do a user seal check to make sure no air is escaping. Disposable respirators must be thrown out when they become clogged as they cannot be cleaned or disinfected.

Reusable Respirators

Many reusable respirators are available which also fall into the air-purifying category. These respirators allow you to clean and disinfect them, using them again and again to filter airborne particles. Different types of reusable respirators are available which filter the air in different ways. Mechanical filters retain the particulate matter as it passes through the filter material. Chemical cartridge filters use a cartridge to remove gases, vapors and other volatile compounds. When the filter is full and used up, you can simply replace the cartridge with a new one. Powered air-purifying respirators take contaminated air and then remove the contaminants. The air is then supplied to the user using a fan or other mechanical solution.

Air-Supplied Respirators

An air-supplied solution or a  “Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus” (SCBA) consists of three components. A tank contains the air, a pressure regulator is included to regulate airflow and an inhalation connection carries air from the tank to your lungs via a facemask or mouthpiece. The many types of SCBA devices work in different ways, some supplying a constant airflow and others providing it on demand. Theses devices work in high altitudes, closed environments and other dangerous environments where the oxygen supply is insufficient.

Respiratory Protection for Children

While children aren’t typically placed into dangerous work conditions, situations can still happen where a child needs additional respiratory protection. Children are more susceptible to mold and other air contaminants. Sometimes a child might have a disease where their immune system is weakened and they’re especially susceptible to contracting a disease. Many existing respiratory solutions don’t work for children as they’re simply too large for small faces or don’t provide a sufficient seal. A few solutions exist. The TOTOBOBO mask fits small children and adults, is cleanable and blocks viruses and other airborne contaminants. It’s important to find a small mask which provides a good seal all around the face. Remember that surgical masks aren’t typically an acceptable solution, as they don’t provide a true seal around the face.

Respiratory protection is a must in dangerous environments. If you’re around mold or dust, a simple disposable respirator might work but as the contaminants accumulate you need more sufficient protection. Find the right mask to take care of the situation you find yourself in, making sure it fits, seals and provides a sufficient airflow no matter where you are.
