Potential hazards of benzopyrene: the source and protection of carcinogens
Benzopyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is a well-known carcinogen. It is commonly found in tobacco smoke, exhaust fumes, and charred food. As a potent environmental pollutant, benzopyrene has significant implications for cancer development, as it can bind to DNA and cause mutations, leading to cancer. This article explores how benzopyrene contributes to cancer, its mechanism of action, and how it affects human health.
