Construction sites, dust, smoking, body shops, fumes, fertilizer, cell phones, elements.
Anyone else freaked out?

Can't do much except trying to fight back.
Cut meat, cut alcohol, eat a lot of greens, antioxidants etc... and get checked regularly, hopefully you'll live a couple of years longer.

All you need to do to alleviate fears like this is examine your close family history, particularly who died of what disease (there's no such thing as old age...).
If your great/grand/parents mostly died from cancer, then I'm afraid the books show that you'll probably succumb to it too. Genetics are the single biggest factor in determining if you'll get something like this, way ahead of smoking or lifestyle.
So, that's bad and good - you had just as well go ahead and live the fun lifestyle that trying to prevent cancer stops you from enjoying - smoking, smoked processed meats, more smoking, boozing, etc etc. You're unlikely to be able to change your death cause from cancer to something else just by trying to cheat the system.
Similarly if your family history is that of heart disease/cholesetrol/hypertension... you'd just as well go ahead and eat what you like and not exercise - you're probably going to have that cascade of illnesses and get it all anyway.
All in all, in the words of that crap song - enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, whatever you want to do, do it, you're not going to get another chance. Be advised of course that if you eat yourself up to 500lbs, then it makes your life miserable, and you can't do the things you want, and smoking reduces your enjoyment of other things too, like exercise and eating, and sleeping and being addicted to a stupid flaky dried plant substance, which is expensive and not particularly pleasurable.- yes it's pleasurable,......wa... are we talking about?ApeRobot

well personally I'm not "freaked out" because for one most of them are man made and controllable, you can choose to eliminate a lot of them from your life style, they only cause cancer in large sustained doses anyway. so inform yourself and take charge of your choices in life.
And second there are ways of preventing cancer like eating lots of anti-oxidents... I mean vitamin C is a proven cancer killer.
so fucking eat properly, change your life style and stop worrying.
- mmm....no, it's not, actually. Linus Pauling, who started the whole Vit C thing, was a bit of a quack.mikotondria3
- vit c is an antioxidant, it kills cancer causing cells. there is no quackery here only facts of science.uuuuuu
- same with vit e, fruits, green veggies, green tea, fish oils, numerous other natural substancesuuuuuu
- you want to prevent cancer you fight it withuuuuuu
- ... antioxidentsuuuuuu
- antioxidents protect cells from free radicals which cause cancer. this isn't in question.uuuuuu

"Construction sites" cause cancer? like what construction sites? probably only if you work on a certain type with certain technology for sustained periods.
- Asbestos.mikotondria3
- if you spend dull time in its presence it will. there is a reason asbestos is banned in most the civilised worlduuuuuu

I have an app on my phone that constantly tells me that the air i'm breathing is killing me. I'm addicted to looking at it.
I live in China. (Shanghai)
today the pollution is "159 - hazardous to sensitive people"

do not fear, embrace death as a new beginning in life.

Don't forget the sun and its radiation.
- It's not the sun that causes skin cancer but the chemicals people put on their skin to 'protect' from itset
- God I hope you don't believe that.monospaced
