My neighbour has a bonfire every day outside and i smell it with my windows open. am i at an increased risk of cancer from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Exposure the smell from the bonfire is not going to raise you risk for cancer above your background risk. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
