Carcinogens,
Synthetic or natural chemicals,
That are capable of causing cancer in living tissue,
Previously there were a total of 239 known to exist,
Recently, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
Has added four new substances to their list,
Ortho-toluidine,
A substance used to make rubber chemicals, pesticides and dyes.
1-bromopropane,
A substance found in many of the household products that we use to clean,
Pentachlorophenol
A wood preservative mixture that you can probably find in your walls,
And last but not least,
Cumene,
which can be found in fuel products and even tobacco smoke,
Which means,
It is found in almost every place that we go,
So, even though,
The HHS officials say that they don't,
Have enough evidence to give a definitive answer,
To whether or not exposure to these chemicals can cause human cancer,
These substances do cause rats and mice to develop tumors,
Therefore, we must not dismiss this list as simply rumors,
We must use it,
As a valuable resource for health regulatory and research agencies to educate, empower and protect all humans,
Don't Waste Our Planet
