Exposure to epoxides (common in industrial chemicals and metabolism byproducts) is linked to nearly 40 types of cancer. A recent scientific review highlights that these chemicals can cause gene mutations, damaging DNA and disrupting normal cell division. This genetic damage is a direct pathway to tumor development. The findings underscore the critical need for better regulation and exposure limits for epoxides to mitigate cancer risks in both occupational and environmental settings. (100 words)
