Original | Radiation – e.g. UV radiation from the sun, gamma radiation from radioisotopes, X-rays from medical equipment Chemical – e.g. reactive oxygen species (found in pollutants), alkylating agents (found in cigarettes) Biological Agents – e.g. bacteria (such as Helicobacter pylori), viruses (such as human papilloma virus) Agents which increase the rate of genetic mutations are called mutagens, and can lead to the formation of genetic diseases Mutagens which lead to the formation of cancer are more specifically referred to as carcinogens |
