Des chercheurs ont développé une approche de test améliorée pour les hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques, ou HAP, qui peuvent se former dans les aliments cuits à haute température.

Une étude de 2025 du département des sciences alimentaires et de la biotechnologie de l'université nationale des sciences et technologies de Séoul a testé la méthode QuEChERS sur plusieurs types d'aliments. Dirigée par le professeur Joon-Goo Lee, l'équipe a mesuré huit HAP spécifiques et a constaté que les niveaux les plus élevés se trouvaient dans l'huile de soja, suivie par la viande de canard et l'huile de colza.

Preliminary research from USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, found that non-smokers diagnosed with lung cancer before age 50 reported eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains—and had higher overall Healthy Eating Index scores—than the U.S. population average. The researchers emphasized that the results do not prove diet causes lung cancer and said a possible explanation could involve environmental exposures such as pesticides, a hypothesis that requires direct testing.

Study maps pesticide mixtures in Peru and finds higher cancer risk in high-exposure areas

A study published in *Nature Health* reports a statistical link between environmental exposure to mixtures of agricultural pesticides and higher cancer risk in Peru. Using modeled pesticide dispersion from 2014 to 2019 and cancer registry data from 2007 to 2020 covering more than 150,000 cases, researchers found that people living in high-exposure areas faced, on average, about a 150% higher likelihood of cancer, with Indigenous and rural farming communities among those most exposed.

Benzene leaks from gas cookers exceed safety limits in European homes

Nearly one in 10 homes tested in the UK, Italy and the Netherlands showed benzene levels from gas cooker leaks that surpass safety limits, according to researchers. The cancer-causing chemical in natural gas poses risks akin to secondhand smoke indoors. The findings highlight potential indoor air pollution from slow leaks.
