Example sentences for: carcinogens
How can you use “carcinogens” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Our analysis identified compounds thought to be carcinogens for each of the 5 site-specific cancers we considered, and then calculated a site-specific URE based on the values in Table 7. Ideally, one should use site-specific UREs, but these are not yet available from EPA.
For the purposes of this study, the compounds in this list were deemed the most plausible carcinogens and exposure to these compounds was combined into a single risk measure, the overall predicted risk (OPR), defined below (Equation 2).
Such an effect would be of special concern for individuals concurrently exposed to other carcinogens.
We do, however, consider one possible factor in the second paper in this set, airborne carcinogens [ 1 ] . But, as this is a study of encountered data, and data that are aggregated to a coarse spatial scale, it would be impossible to establish causation from these data on their own.
The evidence that adolescent diet may affect the risk of breast cancer derives from several lines of evidence [ 1 ] . Rates of breast cancer among Asian immigrants to the United States do not approach those of US white women until the second or third generation, suggesting that exposures during childhood and adolescence are important in establishing a higher risk of breast cancer [ 2 3 ] . Norwegian women who were adolescents during World War II, when average caloric intake decreased by 22%, have a reduced incidence of breast cancer, suggesting that energy restriction might affect risk [ 4 ] . Similarly, in animal models, energy restriction in the peripubertal period inhibits mammary tissue proliferation and reduces the subsequent risk of mammary tumors [ 5 6 ] . Exposure of rats to carcinogens before first pregnancy increases the incidence of mammary tumors compared with exposure after first pregnancy [ 7 ] . After differentiation of the mammary gland at the time of first full-term pregnancy of the rat, the rate of cell division decreases and length of the cell cycle increases, allowing more time for DNA repair [ 8 ] . This biologic phenomenon might explain the apparent vulnerability of the adolescent breast tissue to carcinogenic exposures.
