We often say \u2018you can\u2019t do anything anymore, everything gives you cancer\u2019. To a degree that is true, but it is not that everything will give you cancer, it is just that there are things that increase the risk of cancer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today, society revels in ease and convenience and not in health, which explains how there are so many things that can be of risk to our health.<\/p>\n
However, forget the food and screen time for a minute, and consider instead, if perhaps your job could be causing you future health problems.<\/p>\n
If you are concerned your profession is not giving you the right safety precautions for a potential cancer causing job, look into TruLaw<\/a>.<\/p>\n Remember that when we say a job has a high cancer risk, this does not mean that it will give you cancer, it just gives you a higher risk than normal of getting it.<\/p>\n It is not a guarantee, but it elevates the risk.<\/p>\n Each of these jobs poses a different risk of cancer for different reasons. Here are the 10 most high risk professions for cancer risk.<\/p>\n Pilots are exposed to UV radiation on the regular, this increases the risk of skin cancer. When you are sitting in a plane\u2019s cockpit for a full hour it can expose the skin to an equal amount of UV radiation as if you were to use a tanning bed for only 20 minutes!<\/p>\n The sun has its strongest rays between 10am and 4pm, it is best to wear SPF 15 when out at these times. Lifeguards will often be out in the sun for these hours, and in 1990 the Los Angeles County Lifeguard Association started screening for skin cancer.<\/p>\n This came about after the death of a lifeguard due to melanoma. It is not surprising when you think about it.<\/p>\n 86% of Americans will sit at a desk all day to work<\/a>. It is strange that the most common job can actually have a severe effect on your health, but it is true.<\/p>\n However, it does not only increase your cancer risk, it also raises your overall mortality rate too, even if you do get exercise.<\/p>\n A lack of movement is generally, in itself, bad, and it does cause health problems, however, if you are sitting for more than 6 hours a day, then you could be looking at a higher likelihood of cancer.<\/p>\n You might not think so, but working in a nail salon can actually be bad for your health. Studies show that nail salons can host chemicals that are cancer causing, maybe even more so than car garages and oil plants.<\/p>\n There may be a carcinogenic chemical known as benzene in many salons, and workers in these salons would have a higher risk of exposure.<\/p>\n Farming is a hard job, and it has many risks. Obviously you have to consider sun exposure, however, prostate cancer is high among farmers, more than other workers. But, this is not a weird coincidence, there is a link between prostate cancer and insecticides.<\/p>\nWhat Jobs Have A High Cancer Risk? <\/strong><\/h2>\n
