The Open Dermatology Journal 07 Aug 2023 REVIEW ARTICLE DOI: 10.2174/18743722-v17-230727-2023-3

Abstract

UV radiation is a well-researched cause of malignant melanoma, however more than the sun may be to blame for today’s increased rates of the deadliest form of skin cancer. Pesticides and industrial pollutants are an overlooked yet major causative factor that is still being exposed to ecosystems. This article identifies documented cases of the chemical causes of melanoma stemming from a study that articulates these dangers in the year 2000. It concludes with a message that a clear risk between chemicals and melanoma exists and calls to action the need for mediation.

Keywords: Melanoma, Pesticides, Pollution, Carcinogens, Industry, Screening.
