The International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated 107 substances, mixtures and exposure environments as human carcinogens
In 2004, 3%-14% of lung cancer deaths were caused by exposure to radon

In 2004, 165,000 people worldwide died of cancer caused by air pollution
.
The cancer deaths caused by air pollution can be further classified:l 108,000 people died from outdoor air pollution;236,000 people died from using solid fuels for cooking and heating;3 about 21,000 people died from second-hand smoke
In 2004, occupational environmental carcinogens caused 111,000 deaths from lung cancer
.
In 2004, some carcinogens in the occupational environment (beryllium and silica, etc.
) were estimated to cause 111,000 deaths from lung cancer, compared with only 59,000 mesothelioma deaths caused by asbestos

Taking preventive measures is the key to reducing cancer
.
Between 1982 and 1992, China implemented a coal stove renovation project, and rural households installed 129 million new stoves
.
Subsequent evaluation results showed that the number of lung cancer patients was reduced by about 40% after replacing the old open coal stove with a clean coal stove with a chimney
.
This example shows that taking primary preventive measures to eliminate or reduce exposure to environmental carcinogens, including workplaces, is the key to reducing the incidence of cancer
.
Exercise can reduce the risk of some cancers.
Implementing favorable environment and transportation policies, encouraging cycling and walking, can reduce some deaths from breast cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer
.
