This book investigates the relationship between environmental toxin exposure and the risk of developing cancer. It covers carcinogenic substances such as asbestos, benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and endocrine disruptors, detailing their modes of action and epidemiological associations with various cancers. The book emphasizes the importance of exposure assessment, regulatory measures, and preventive strategies to reduce cancer risk. Ideal for toxicologists and oncologists, it promotes the understanding and management of environmental carcinogens.
Aspen Cochran explores the relationship between environmental toxins and cancer risk, focusing on how exposure to hazardous chemicals can lead to various forms of cancer. Her research investigates carcinogens such as asbestos, benzene, and certain pesticides, examining their modes of action in inducing malignant transformations. Aspen has developed risk assessment models to evaluate the potential cancer hazards posed by environmental exposures. She has published extensively on the epidemiological and molecular links between toxins and cancer development. As an editor, Aspen offers guidelines for toxicologists and oncologists to assess and mitigate cancer risks associated with environmental toxins, promoting cancer prevention through informed toxicological practices.
