carcinogens
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- A carcinogen is a substance, organism or agent capable of causing cancer. Carcinogens may occur naturally in the environment (such as ultraviolet rays in sunlight and certain viruses) or may be generated by humans (such as automobile exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke). Most carcinogens work by interacting with a cell’s DNA to produce mutations.
- Un carcinógeno es un agente con la capacidad de causar cáncer. Los carcinógenos pueden ser naturales, como la aflatoxina que es producida por un hongo y a veces se encuentran en el grano almacenados, o artificiales, como el asbesto o el humo del tabaco. Los carcinógenos actúan interactuando con el ADN de una célula e induciendo mutaciones genéticas.
