Difference between Cancer and Pollution

Cancer vs. Pollution

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.

Similarities between Cancer and Pollution

Cancer and Pollution have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Air pollution, Benzene, Birth defect, Carcinogen, Developing country, Electric power transmission, Environment (biophysical), Mutagen, Neurology, World Health Organization.

Air pollution

Air pollution occurs when harmful or excessive quantities of substances including gases, particulates, and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere.

Mutagen

In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level.
