Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is a reasonably common form of cancer and generally develops in people aged between 50 and 70, but it can be encountered at any age. Research has linked exposure to industrial chemicals with the development of bladder cancer. Moreover, exposure to carcinogenic chemicals can happen more frequently than one might think. As with many industrial diseases, the symptoms of bladder cancer can take place as many as twenty-five years after the initial exposure.

Bladder cancer is most frequently caused by chemicals coming into contact with the bloodstream through inhalation or ingestion. It can also happen as a result of chemicals coming into contact with the skin.

This is a non-exhaustive list of substances and chemicals which are known to increase the risk of bladder cancer:

• Dyes
• Coal Tar
• Paint
• Magenta
• X-rays
• Rubber
• Diesel fumes
• Arsenic

There are various industries in which individuals are more susceptible to being exposed to these hazardous chemicals, including:

• Mechanics
• Leather industry
• Rubber workers
• Printing industry
• Hairdressers
• Jobs that involve dyeing textiles
• Chemical industry
• Gas industry
• Mining
• Road workers
• Painting/decorating

Common Symptoms

• Painful burning sensation when urinating
• Finding blood in urine
