Shifting Jobs a major cause of Cancer
The World Health Organization made a studied and IARC found out that shifting and Fireman jobs have the highest risk factor for getting cancer. It is still widely unaccepted and officially released although research is still being made and there’s already a huge impact on employers and employees across the globe. The study finds that Firemen who are, of course, subjected to more carcinogenic substances than normal people do get a higher risk factor when cancer is considered. This might be because of exposure to cancer-causing agents such as smoke. The other side has people who work on shifting schedules also getting higher risks of the disease due to the imbalance caused by repetitive disruptions in their regular sleep patterns. An estimated 20% of the world’s workforce who undergo these types of high cancer risk-jobs but research is still being done to find out why.
