Here we can see that cancer patients are more in the village areas.
From 50 responses, 22 are from the village areas. In these 22, 15 are
from Puthur and Panamcherry Panchayaths.

This shows the over

usage of the chemical pesticides for the agriculture purpose. Due to

this reason the rate of the cancer patients are much more in these areas.

Plastic usage is another indicator of the cancer. Here we can see there
are no houses without using plastic materials. Plastic may cause a
bundle of types of cancers. It may be lung cancer, throat cancer or
anything else like that. Even the people who use plastic very rare got
this. Then we can imagine what about others. The thing is not with
the usage but with how they dispose it.

Second questions findings were ended by mentioning the disposal of

the plastic waste. The poisonous smoke of plastic waste when it is
burned cause cancer.

This graph shows the clear picture of our

peoples unawareness regarding the disposal of plastic waste. Among

the 44 people who burn the plastic, some of them where from Laloore
area, where there is a trenching ground. And one of the respondent
told that more than 12 among their area within 2 to 5 kms are affected

by this disease. Only some people are aware of recycling the plastic.
Some are throwing it outside and it will result in great environmental
pollutions

and

further

health

problems.

Most of the people buy the vegetables from the shop. These are not
pure. They may be sprinkled by the pesticides and are causing cancer.
Only a little amount of patients are having good healthy kitchen
garden. This means the use of vegetables from shops are one of the
major cause of cancer. More than 90% of patients were using these.

Almost all kind of factories give out chemical gases that can cause
cancer. Here among the 14 respondents 10 are very close to chemical
factories. Which means this is an indicator of cancer. When they were
responding they told that many of their neighbours are having this
disease. Other respondents didnt said anything about the factories.

This graph is also a warning alarm. Among th14 patients 11 are

coming from just 2-3kms away from the companies. This means the
working of these companies are very much hazardous to the health of
people.

When the food materials are kept in the fridge for a long period and
when we take it there will be a kind of bacteria that cause cancer is
forming inside that. When we cook it constantly by taking it from
fridge it will results in multiplying the bacteria. Here most of the
patients are not having this practice. So the chance of getting disease
due to this is rare.

cancer up to an extent. Unaware ness of people is the main thing
behind this. Salt water and vinegar can kill germs op to an extent.

The graph shows a balanced picture. People are using the fast food.
This contain aginomoto, artificial flavors and preservatives that can

cause cancer. Half a portion of the patients were not using the fast
food. But 50% were using these kind of foods (always ,often ,yes).
So here there is an almost sure chance for getting this disease.

The people who eat meat food more are having a chance to get with

64%are vegetarians. Hence we cannot conclude that this is causing
cancer. Because the vegetables available in the market is also causing
cancer.

This graph is also giving more or less steady information. In our

society bakery items are not a common food. The usage of artificial
color and sardine is causing cancer to people who have it. Only32%
of people of people are using this type of food. Rests are taking it
often and some are not at all using it. So we can conclude that in our
society this is not a huge reason for cancer.

This graph is very much correct and is scientifically proved. The

mobile phones and the towers radiation can cause cancer. The graph
indicates the true view of it. 60% of patients are staying very close

which means with in0-4kms of the towers. 26% of patients are in

between4-8kms.14%are

above 8kms.

Total86% of patients are

staying nearby or within 8kms of towers. This says mobile phone

This graph is also a clear indicator of the cancer. Here also we can see
17(72.27%) of the patients were using drugs or pan masala that is a
cause for cancer. Usage of drugs can cause cancers as in the case of
smoking. In our society drugs and pan masala is also a cause for
cancer.
