Abstract

A carcinogen is any substance which can arise in both natural and synthetic substances, radionuclide or radiation that promotes carcinogenesis and formation of cancer. This is due to the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic processes. Radioactive substances are considered as carcinogens, but their carcinogenic activity is related to the radiation, example gamma rays and alpha particles. Some examples of nonradioactive carcinogens are inhaled asbestos, certain dioxins and tobacco smoke. Carcinogens are not immediately toxic thus their effect can be in a gradual way.
接触致癌物及其对癌症形成的影响
致癌物是任何可能在天然和合成物质、放射性核素或辐射中产生的促进致癌和癌症形成的物质。这是由于能够破坏基因组或破坏细胞代谢过程。放射性物质被认为是致癌物,但它们的致癌活性与辐射有关,例如伽马射线和α粒子。非放射性致癌物的一些例子是吸入石棉,某些二恶英和烟草烟雾。致癌物不会立即产生毒性,因此它们的作用可能是渐进的。
