You are what you eat, but what about what you breath. Evidence continues to mount on the relationship between our health and the air we breath. A recent study has found evidence for increased rates of cancer amongst workers in rubber producing factories. Vapors coming from the production of rubber have been known to induce tumors in mice. Now evidence suggests these vapors be related to an increase in cancer rates amongst people working in rubber factories.
Another study indicates an increased risk of developing asthma amongst nurses exposed to hospital cleaning supplies and disinfectants. Glues, solvents, powder from latex gloves and general cleaning products have all been implicated.
