Does car pollution linked to child cancer?

The researcher found that Children who lived 0.3 away from pollotion hot spot has more chance of getting cancer higher than child who lived far awaw from pollution. Prof Knox claimed that chemical from car

such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, 1,3-butadiene and benzene dioxins cause cancer.

Therefore,there are causation for this.

The development of cancer in childhood is strongly linked to pollution from engine exhausts, a researcher from the University of Birmingham has claimed.

Professor George Knox said youngsters were at higher risk of cancer if they lived near emissions hotspots, such as transport depots.

But experts said the public should not be alarmed by the claims and stressed much more research was needed to show what level of exposure posed a threat.

Prof Knox looked at data on 22,500 children who died from cancer in Britain between 1955 and 1980, taking into account where they lived and nearby emissions hotspots for specific chemicals.

These hotspots were identified from published maps of atmospheric pollution levels and included chemicals such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, 1,3-butadiene and benzene dioxins.

The researcher also located emissions sources including bus and train stations, transport hubs, oil installations and hospitals.
Chemical emissions
He then compared the number of deaths from childhood cancer that would be expected in a particular area with the actual number of deaths that occurred.

Prof Knox said that children had a higher risk of cancer if they lived within 0.3 kilometres of a chemical emissions hotspot.

Youngsters also faced an increased risk if they lived within 1km of an emissions source, such as a transport hub.

The researcher suggested that 1,3-butadiene and carbon monoxide - both produced by vehicle exhausts and particularly diesel engines - were among the biggest culprits.

He said that when combined with living close to an emissions source, such as a bus or coach station, a child had a 12 times higher risk of dying from cancer than other youngsters.

Professor Knox concluded: "Childhood cancers are strongly determined by prenatal or early postnatal exposures to oil based combustion gases, especially from engine exhausts."

Chemicals found in lipstick and nail varnish could trigger breast cancer, scientists warned yesterday.

A study has shown that butyl benzyl phthalate, or BBP, can interfere with the healthy development of breast tissue.

Environmental campaigners yesterday called for it to be banned in the cosmetic industry, where it is used to make products glossy.

The man-made substance is part of the phthalate family of chemicals, which mimic the female sex hormone oestrogen.

Phthalates are widely used to soften plastics and are found in food packaging, toys, carpets and solvents.

Past studies have linked them to birth defects, kidney problems and infertility.

They have been banned in teething rings and babies' dummies across Europe.

Now, scientists at the Fox Chase Cancer Centre in Philadelphia say that BBP - which accumulates in our fat cells - could increase the risks of breast cancer.

The team fed lactating rats with BBP, which was then absorbed by their offspring via breast milk.

The baby rats were exposed to levels of the chemical estimated to be nearly equivalent to the American Environmental Protection Agency's safe dose for humans, the researchers reported in the online journal BMC Genomics.

The chemical altered the genetic make-up of cells in the young female rat's mammary glands.

Although the effects wore off once BBP was removed from the diet, the subtle changes could have an effect later in life, the scientists say.

"We are the first to report that neonatal/prepubertal exposure to BBP induced modifications in the gene expression of the mammary tissue," said team leader Dr Jose Russo.

"BBP is in the environment, so a constant exposure via inhalation and digestive tract can reach many different organs including the breast.

"In this study, we found how the action of this compound present in everyday life affects the development of the rats.

"This is an indication that the same could happen in humans. Even if an individual is exposed to it in the beginning of life, BBP can cause alterations later in life.

"In this direction, we are evaluating if the exposure of this compound in young girls is associated with early puberty and breast development."

The researchers say more studies are needed to determine if the chemical actually does increase the risk of breast cancer in rats.

Two years ago a study found one of the first links between phthalates and genital defects.

Researchers at the University of Rochester, New York, discovered that women with higher levels of phthalate break-down chemicals, or metabolites, in their urine were more likely to give birth to boys with under-developed sexual organs.

The Women's Environmental Network said phthalates were present in four out of five cosmetic products on sale in Britain.

"There are safer alternatives," said a spokesman. "We want to see them removed from all cosmetics. People are putting numerous cosmetics on their skin each day - from shower gel, to hair spray and moisturiser.

"Trace elements are being absorbed by the skin and they can build up in the body and have a long-term effect."

HEALTH risks caused by ill-fitting bras that don't offer the correct support can range from constricted breathing, back pain and restricted circulation to muscle strain and irritable bowel syndrome. Some studies have even suggested a link to breast cancer. We investigate why wearing a bra that doesn't fit could damage your health.
THREE years ago, a U.S. study carried out by scientists Sidney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer surveyed 4,700 women and concluded that the odds of getting breast cancer increased dramatically the longer women wore bras. The survey showed that those who had breast cancer were also the ones who reported wearing bras for more than 12 hours a day.

The study concluded that the constricting effect of bras suppressed the lymphatic system below the armpits, blocking an internal network of vessels supposed to flush toxic wastes from the body.

Over time, these toxins accumulate in the breast tissues and create an environment in which cells can turn cancerous.

However, many breast specialists and breast cancer organisations have disputed this study.

Two years ago, a study was carried out by Japanese researchers which found that increased skin pressure caused by a tight-fitting bra could suppress the nocturnal elevation of the hormone melatonin, which some doctors have claimed could also increase the risk

of breast cancer.

But there is evidence that bras can cause other health problems, too. A study by the University Hospital of Wales asked 100 pre-menopausal women to go without a bra for three months, then return to wearing one for another three months.

On average the number of pain-free days went up by 7 per cent when the women stopped wearing bras.

The study concluded that breast pain and health complications relating to the breasts were increased by wearing a bra.

Although the study did not find a specific link between wearing a bra and an increased risk of breast cancer, it did report lower incidences of breast cancer in cultures who spent more time bra-less.

CAN YOUR BRA CAUSE BREATHING PROBLEMS? THE British School of Osteopathy found that ill-fitting fashion bras put stress on bones and muscles, which can cause breathing problems. The study reported that badly fitting, tight and underwired bras supported the breast by pressing on the rib cage which restricts breathing and puts pressure on the diaphragm.

Breathing is undertaken using a number of muscles, one group of which are the accessory muscles. These run from the upper part of the cervical spine and attach to the upper ribs. When wearing tight fashion bras, the middle ribs are held tight, which means the upper ribs have to work harder.

Sports bras can cause breathing difficulties if worn all the time. They are designed to hold the breasts in place during exercise, but should not be over used because they are much more constrictive than ordinary bras.

CAN YOUR BRA CAUSE IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME? FASHION bras can constrict the rib

cage by several inches more than conventional bras. The pressure can be so great that it could even affect digestion.

The British School of Osteopathy has noted Irritable Bowel Syndrome and constipation as a result of illfitting bras constricting the digestive process by putting pressure on the diaphragm.

CAN YOUR BRA CAUSE SKIN PROBLEMS? SEVERAL studies have found that bras which are too tight can cause lesions or lumps on the skin - also called lympomas. They are caused by hooks on the back of bras digging into the skin. Choose a bra with a thick back strap with at least two sets of hooks and padding on the inside of the hooks.

CAN YOUR BRA CAUSE CIRCULATION PROBLEMS? LARGE breasts require support or the muscles supporting them will have to work too hard. The most problematic areas are the pectoral muscles in the chest. If the problem is severe enough, the neurovascular bundle of nerves to the arm can become compressed and the woman may feel pins and needles.

The constant wearing of a sports or tight-fitting bra can also cause circulatory problems if the elastic around the rib cage is too tight.

These bras rely on support by compression rather than a good fit. Constantly having breasts being pushed inwards can cause circulation restriction, which may damage breast tissue.
CAN YOUR BRA CAUSE BACK PAIN?
THE trapezius muscle connects the neck to the shoulder. It is recognised that a badly fitting bra providing insufficient support causes this muscle to tighten, to take up the weight of the breasts. This can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain because this muscle is being constantly strained.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A BRA
EXTRA-soft, cushioned and wide load-bearing shoulder straps to ease pressure, and which don't dig in.

Moulded non- stretch cups which provide maximum breast control without underwiring. If your breasts bulge either over the top of the bra or out of the sides, it is too small for you.

Buy a bra where you can adjust the strong shoulder straps to fit your shape. Two or three bra fastenings or hooks provide greater support. The back band of the bra should be across your mid-back for support.
