The rules of prevention

Carcinogenic substances

Carcinogenic substances are natural or artificial substances that cause some types of cancer.

Avoid exposure to carcinogenic substances [in Italian].

Protect your and other people's health by being aware of the potential exposure to polluting or carcinogenic substances. Comply with the instructions on exposure to such substances.
The instructions may define a threshold above which exposure to a given substance is considered as dangerous, or suggest specific ways to handle some products (for instance using protective devices like gloves or a mask...).

If you follow the indications on exposure you can avoid all risks of carcinogenic substance-induced cancer.
