US EditionLinks Found Between Exposure to Carcinogens and Aromatics from Fossil Fuels and Breast Cancer Risk
- Leena Hilakivi-Clarke, a professor at The Hormel Institute, published a paper on May 20, 2025, linking fossil fuel aromatics to breast cancer risk.
- The study explores how exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and BTEX compounds from fossil fuels contributes to increasing breast cancer rates, especially among young women.
- The paper proposes that two factors drive sporadic breast cancer development, emphasizing environmental carcinogens like PAHs that cause DNA mutations and create vulnerability.
- Leena Hilakivi-Clarke explained that incorporating ethanol into gasoline can help lower the levels of BTEX chemicals, thereby decreasing harmful exposure.
- The findings underscore the need to reduce fossil fuel exposures to prevent breast cancer and suggest that adding ethanol to gasoline offers a practical mitigation strategy.
