my workplace), I just smell an unusual odor that release from the facotry. It smell bad, and I
just wonder how they tackle public complaint which raise from the resident. (Because my
branch work is to handle this kind of problem, and it is difficult instead).
I heard from some sources that the GAB supporting the environment NGO in PJ.
At the same time, I also thinking effects of air release from the factory to people and
environment.
A lot of thing which determine by expert may cause cancer problem such as below:
1. Growing older
2. Tobacco
3. Sunlight
4. Ionizing radiation
5. Certain chemicals and other substances
6. Some viruses and bacteria
7. Certain hormones
8. Family history of cancer
9. Alcohol
10. Poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight
And air pollution is actually more related to lung cancer. People who lives in industrial area is
actaully having more potential to it. A study which made around England and Wales concluded
that getting lung cancer is about one and a half times greater for people living in industrial
areas compared to those living in the country.
And when compared to those who breath around beer factory and those who taking it as a
drink, smell it is only categorised as RISK. While taking alcohol as a drink, there is big
potential to lung cancer instead. Although, alcohols is a part of vaporise substances, expert say
it is very minimal and surely not as a major causes when it is came into breath.
Of course I feel better to know about it (because that is only route that I have to pass by
everyday), but how the company tackled public complaint is a big question mark. The factory
just situated less than 30 meter from residential area.
