Abstract

Ecological studies showed the association of exposure to carcinogens present surroundings an indoor and outdoor environment. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified arsenic, asbestos, benzene, radon gas etc. into group 1 carcinogens. In many countries, pollution is rising due to trend of increasing industrialization and urbanization, occupational exposure to asbestos and chemical carcinogens. Mostly in developing countries, women are traditionally leader in cooking but due to frequent use of biomasses and wood fuel in poor ventilated houses, they are exposed to indoor air pollutants. However, not only in developing countries, but also in developed countries like United States facing serious smoking problem where after smoking, radon is the second common cause of bronchogenic cancer. Smoking and radon exposure has synergistic effect on carcinogenesis. Adequate legislation like banning, elimination or substitutions of carcinogens in industries along with the public education can help in reduction of burden of the environmental and occupational cancer. This chapter is in process to explore the exiting occupational and environmental hazards present in the environment and causing several health diseases.
