High-Risk Jobs and Hidden Breast Cancer
Many immigrant women in the United States may be at risk of developing breast cancer due to chemical exposure at work, according to a new study.
The research, led by Silent Spring Institute and published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, examines the link between job-related chemical exposure and breast cancer risk for women born outside the U.S.
- Health and safety rules are often inadequate or poorly enforced in workplaces where immigrant women are employed.
- Researchers analyzed U.S. Census data to identify common jobs among immigrant women.
The study aims to understand if certain types of work contribute to higher breast cancer rates among immigrant women after moving to the U.S.
Authors from Silent Spring, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco collaborated on the study.
Author's summary: Immigrant women's jobs may increase breast cancer risk.
