Hi

The name of the chemical is required since different chemicals can cause different morbidities. The duration of exposure and whether it is occupational exposure should also be known.

Skin cancer can be caused due genetic reasons,chemicals,long sun exposure.It is known that exposure to heavy metals contributes to the development of skin cancers.

The main threats to human health are associated with toxic heavy metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
