Beware – newly discovered compounds 100x more CANCER-CAUSING mutagenic
These compounds were not previously known to exist, and raise new concerns about the health effects of air pollution or dietary exposure.
 |
According to a news release from Oregon State University, Oregon State researchers have found novel compounds generated by certain kinds of chemical reactions that are hundreds of times more mutagenic than their parent compounds which are known carcinogens. The compounds are produced by chemical reactions found in vehicle exhaust or grilling meat.
These compounds were not previously known to exist, and raise new concerns about the health effects of air pollution or dietary exposure.
The compounds were discovered in laboratory experiments that imitate the kinds of environment which might be produced by combustion and exhaust in cars, or the cooking of meat over a flame.
“Some of the compounds that we’ve discovered are far more mutagenic than we previously understood, and may exist in the environment as a result of heavy air pollution from vehicles or some types of food preparation,” posited Staci Simonich, a professor of chemistry and toxicology at Oregon State, in a statement. ”We don’t know at this point what levels may be present, and will explore that in continued research.”
The parent compounds are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) developed naturally as the result of nearly any kind of combustion. Many PAHs, are known to be carcinogenic, and are the subject of in-depth research at Oregon State. According to scientists, PAHs are even more problematic when they chemically interact with nitrogen to become “nitrated” (NPAHs). The novel compounds are NPAHs.
This study discovered that the direct mutagenicity of the NPAHs with one nitrogen group can increase 6 to 432 times more than the parent compound. Mutagens are chemicals that can lead to DNA damage in cells that can eventually cause cancer. Researchers note that these numbers may actually underestimate the increase in toxicity.
These findings are a continuation of research on PAHs that was conducted by Simonich at the Beijing Summer Olympic Games in 2008. Beijing has major issues with air quality, and may be 10-50 times more polluted than some major urban areas in the U.S. with air pollution issues.
The study’s results are described in greater detail in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

New and Deadly Cancer Causing Compounds Discovered: PAHs and NPAHs
Whenever you grill meat, mow a lawn with a gas lawnmower, or drive a gas-powered vehicle, you’re producing newly discovered, highly mutagenic cancer causing compounds called PAHs and NPAHs, according to a recent study by scientists from four universities: Oregon State, Peking University, Texas A&M University, and the University of California-Riverside.
These newly identified cancer causing compounds are in the air pollution of major cities, and also are created whenever we grill food, like hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, and steak. No health standards or regulations exist yet for them, as they haven’t been known about long enough for such standards and regulations to have been developed yet.
These extremely mutagenic cancer causing chemical compounds were discovered as a result of experiments designed to mimic the grilling of meat over a fire, or combustion and exhaust fumes emitted by gas-powered vehicles.
Chemicals that alter, or mutate, genetic material are mutagens. Many mutagens are carcinogenic agents, chemicals or chemical compounds known to result in cancer.
The research that the scientists from the four universities did involved parent compounds known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These PAHs are formed by almost any sort of combustion, like from cars, trucks, wood stoves, coal-fired power plants, and cigarettes.
Several of these PAHs are carcinogenic, like benzopyrene. They are a major health concern in and of themselves, and are being researched around the world.
According to scientists, when PAHs interact with nitrogen and become “nitrated (NPAHs),” they become even more of a health problem. Until now, NPAHs were unknown.
Staci Simonich, a professor of chemistry and toxicology in the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences, states that these NHPAH compounds “may exist in the environment as a result of heavy air pollution from vehicles or some types of food preparation.”
According to the findings of the study published in December 2013 in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, all it takes is one nitrogen group combined with the NPAHs to increase the direct mutagenicity of the NPAHs anywhere from six to 432 times greater than the PAHs, or parent compounds, that they’re derived from.
Increase the number of nitrogen groups to two, and the resultant NPAHs can be 272-467 times more mutagenic. The researchers state that they’re being modest in their assessments and that the toxicity might be much higher than the estimates they give in the recent study.
Simonich’s previous research into PAHs during the Beijing Summer Olympic Games laid the groundwork for the joint work the researchers did involving NPAHs.The government of China and other governments and athletes worldwide wondered what the affects might be of Beijing’s bad air pollution, and what the impact of it might be on the individual performances.
A World Health Organization agency declared last fall that air pollution — especially particulate air pollution — is carcinogenic and can also pose other serious health problems. PAHs are found on particulate matter that makes up a lot of air pollution.
Simonich had the idea of conducting air quality monitoring on Mount Bachelor in Oregon, to find out the levels of air pollution that there were in air that journeyed to the United States from countries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The work of the researchers at the four universities involving the impact of the newly discovered cancer causing compounds, PAHs and NPAHs, was funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and OSU’s Superfund Research Program.

500,000 People killed in China from the Air!!! Ugh!

Why Air Pollution Is So Much Worse Than You Thought, Causing 1 In 8 Global Deaths
The World Health Organization has said that seven million people died from air pollution in 2012, a terrible death toll linked to what they call “the world’s single largest environmental health risk.” A slew of recent studies have found links between air pollution and forms of cancer, as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases; WHO linked about one-eighth of all global deaths in 2012 to air pollution. The worst of it was felt in South East Asia, and the WHO’s Western Pacific region, which includes China, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines.
It’s been a pretty harrowing 2014 so far for those concerned with the health implications of air pollution. A number of recent studies have presented compelling potential understandings of the toll that dirty air can have on the human body. One such study found that traffic pollution could cause electrical and physical changes to your heart’s structure. Another suggested a potential link between pollution and autism, by way of measuring heightened autism rates among young children with genital malformations, which themselves have been linked to environmental pollutants and toxins.
And another, conducted on young children born in coal pollution-suffused Tongliang county in China, found that the exposure had caused genetic changes which hurt their learning and memory skills.
Just this month, France saw air pollution throughout Paris spike so badly that the government advised young children and the elderly to stay indoors.
Staying indoors in a metropolitan destination like Paris may be a option, but the WHO’s findings in regard to indoor air pollution are chilling. In mostly low-to-middle income areas in those South East Asian and Western Pacific regions, most people died as a result of indoor air pollution — about 3.3 million deaths, compared to 2.6 million outdoors.
The ways in which air pollution wreaks a toll on the human body are becoming better-understood, including how dangerous air pollution can be for people with heart problems or risk of strokes. Most of 2012’s pollution-related deaths occurred by way of heart disease, at 40 percent.
Said Dr. Maria Neira, director of the WHO’s public health, environmental and social determinants of health department:
The risks from air pollution are now far greater than previously thought or understood, particularly for heart disease and strokes. Few risks have a greater impact on global health today than air pollution. The evidence signals the need for concerted action to clean up the air we all breathe.
