Carcinogens

Carcinogens are substances, radionuclides, or radiation that promote carcinogenesis, the formation of cancer. These substances can cause changes to the DNA in cells, leading to uncontrolled cell division and ultimately cancer. Carcinogens may be naturally occurring or synthetic, and exposure can occur through various routes such as inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.
