Uh, most, I dare say most of our listeners have had someone that they know, either a close friend or someone in their family or a colleague at work, uh, that they know in their lifetime that has encountered b- and experienced breast cancer.
And so, you know, we're, we wanna support everything that, that, that we can from a research standpoint, uh, to get to a cure.
But this past month, um, Safety and Health Magazine, which is a publication of the National Safety Council, uh, they, they put an article out about a study that was done out in Los Angeles, California.
And the researchers there analyzed data from more than 53,000 women living in a, in the Los Angeles County area that were enrolled in the California Multiethnic Cohort for a Long-Term Study of Health Risk, and these women were from various racial, ethnic groups, socioeconomic statuses.
Uh, and what they, they did was they took, took data from the toxic release inventory, uh, and, and tried to estimate the participants' exposure to 15 common industrial pollutants based on their home address and distance to the industrial release sites.
And what they found is that high levels of exposure to several polutant- uh, pollutants in that area that were released from these industrial sites are possibly linked to a higher risk of cancer.
These are a bunch of names that I can't pronounce, uh, but being an industrial hygienist, you might.
But if you are, if you are interested in that study, I would say just go check out Safety and Health Magazine for October.
Um, you know, some of the implicated pollutants that they put out there had previously been identified for occupational risk factors for breast cancer.
And according to this press release, these were, again, were not employees, they were not contractors of these facilities, they were residents that, uh, lived within certain proximity of the plant.
So, um, basically the researcher said they underscore, the findings underscore the need to incorporate environmental exposure assessments into cancer prevention and risk reduction strategies, and I support that.
