Insectacides/cleaner: There are several insectacides, like weed killer from a family of chemical products called organophosphates that can be directly poisonous, and can also cause cancer. Heavy duty cleaners, like cleansers can also cause cancer. Even talcum powder, make-up, hair conditioner, and foods can do it.
