ICMR states that people living near drains have a high risk of cancer development; here’s why
A study conducted in 2024 has shown that people living near the river drains were highly threatened by cancer, with many hazards, with many hazards, which was above the threshold border, a study conducted by ICMR. To know how chemicals lead to oxidative stress that damages human DNA, causing various types of cancers.

Super high levels of lead, iron and aluminum were detected in water
According to a new study, the Indian Top Medical Panel of the Indian Top Medical Panel has stated that those who live near drains face high risk of developing cancer. Research published in the Indian Academy of Sciences has found that the danger level in these areas was several times higher than the safe limit, which led to dangerous health concerns.
The super high levels of lead, iron and aluminum were detected in the water, which crossed the permissible boundaries set by the Union Pollution Control Bounce state’s Health and Family Welfare Minister, Prataprao Jadhav said this in the Rajya Sabha.
How do chemicals lead to cancer?
According to experts, heavy metals such as lead, iron and aluminum can contribute to the risk of cancer through mechanisms such as inducting oxidative stress, damaging DNA and disrupting cell processes, eventually increasing the risk of cancer.
How does lead affect the human body?
Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, leads a potential human carcinogen, and inorganic lead compounds are probably classified as carcinogenic for humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Classified as a potential human carcinogen, inorganic lead compounds can cause cancer of the stomach, lungs, kidneys, brain and menins.
The lead is a toxic metal that was once used in the manufacture of normal domestic products and gasoline. There is no safe level of risk to lead. The lead is a naturally occurring element, and, unlike many pollutants, it does not go away over time.
In the past, the lead was added to gasoline, paint, water pipes, ceramic glazes and fertilizers and used in many industrial processes. Since the late 1970s, the abolition of lead in gasoline and paints has reduced the lead pollution dramatically in the United States. However, the lead lives in our environment, especially in the major roadways and in the old houses.
Doctors say that the lead is stored in bones, liver and kidney and can also go into the blood. The effect of lead toxicity may continue after eliminating the exposure source.
Aluminum exposure is dangerous for humans
Many studies in the past have aluminum found in breast tumors, but these studies have small sample sizes and do not compare aluminum levels in the tumor to other parts of the body.
Other methods coming in contact with aluminum are through food, water and vaccines. Doctors say that if you are generally healthy, your body does a good job of eliminating excess aluminum.
