Are Risks Of Breast Cancer Higher On Exposure To Harmful Chemical Odors?

I am a pharmaceutical chemist for 30 years and I worked with many chemicals and known carcinogens, as safely as the labs I worked in provided. I have worked with chloroform, formaldehyde, mercaptans, pyridines and many other chemicals, inhaling their odors by working next to other chemists, as well. Are my risk factors higher than most women for getting breast cancer?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that all you named is known carcinogen, working with such a carcinogen puts one on the risk of acquiring cancer. Not only breast cancer but there are possibility of other cancers also. Take preventive measures like not inhaling, contacting such a carcinogen.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
