Comments on: Brock researcher launches prediction model and calculator for estimating lung cancer risk http://www.brocku.ca/brock-news/?p=21045 A news source for Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:51:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Jim Upper http://www.brocku.ca/brock-news/?p=21045&cpage=1#comment-116203 Jim Upper Thu, 28 Feb 2013 17:04:32 +0000 http://www.brocku.ca/brock-news/?p=21045#comment-116203 This is the kind of information that should be taught in primary school. Exposure to smoke/chemicals happens from a young age. Not only is there chemicals in buildings but there are also particles in homes such as bird feathers, fur and cat litter. Outside exposure to fuel burning particles such as daily traffic jams or tieing up boats on the canal locks. The problem is that this information eventually be used to rate life insurance policy rates which will discriminate against high risk inhalation jobs. Despite that this is a good step to publish hazards to avoid. Besides lung cancer there are other debilitating diseases that can materialize due to inhalation of gases, droplets and particles. Can't wait to see your results, I have a history of being a test subject without documentation. This is the kind of information that should be taught in primary school.
