Workers' cancers 'underestimated': "But the authors of the new study say that is a gross underestimate, which fails to take account of new chemicals, new under-regulated industries and the number of women in work."
I don't think we should underestimate the air we breath and I think we should study it. I now know more people with breast cancer and lymphoma than I have ever known. The cases just keep popping up and young people seem to be particularly allergy prone. I think we should all study the air we breathe and get to the bottom of it. You cannot dismiss 6,000 work related cancer deaths. That's a lot of parents and relatives. It is 6,000 people. They just cannot be discounted statistically like that. It's 6,000 too many if the causes are preventable and that's why we research and why we have technology...so we can learn, spread information and look after ourselves and our communities.
