&6 Castlegar News February 19, 1989 Melanoma cases increase WASHINGTON (AP) Melan oma, a sometimes fatal skin cancer, is striking more people in the United States at a younger age, and an expert said thé trend could get worse as a result of a thinning of atmos: phereic ozone. Dr. Darrell. Rigel, an assistant clinical professor of dermatglogy at New York University Medical School, said melanoma now is diag nosed in one of every 128 Americans, e of about 1,500 per cent compared with 1935. Rigel told the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual’ meeting Tuesday an even ‘more disturbing trend is that the ages of patients with melanoma are dropping dramatically ri ars ago it was unusual to one under the age of 40 with an increa: skin cancer,” said Rigel. “Now we're commonly seeing people in their 20s with skin cancer,” About 25 per cent of the estimated 27,300 Americans diagnosed as hay ing melanoma this year will be age 39 or under, he said. Only a few years ago, it was considered a disease of the aged. “Not only has the overall rate grown, but the age group where it has grown the most rapidly is in the youngest group,” Rigel said. “The rate of increase is highest among the youngest people, not only here but in other countries.” The disease is found largely among light-skinned people and in the United States in the Sun Belt states of the South and West It is generally believed that mel ‘Smoke a risk to kids, study says By SHERYL UBELACKER TORONTO (CP) tobacoo smoke appears to be a much Exposure to. greater factor in childhood respiratory illness than exposure to air pollution, a 10-year study by Hamilton researches suggest In fact, air pollutants tested showed little or no-effect on most respiratory conditions and only sligh effects on lung function, says David Pengelly, associate professor of medicine and engineering physics who headed the McMaster University study About 3,500 children aged 7 to 10 participated in the project told a meeting of the Lung Association of Ontario recently. The children were from schools across Hamilton Pengelly a heavy-industry city about 20 kilometres wide where pollution levels range from “‘relatively high"\o relativelow The study; based’ on-questionnaires looked at a including air and lung-function tests number of pollutants parents smoked and family respiratory history Non-asthmatic respiratory illnesses whether such as phlegmy coughs that lasted more than three| weeks, **were primarily associated with second-hand smoke, particularly with maternal smoking.”’ Pengelly said mothers’ smoking seems to have more effect because young children generally spend more time with their mothers fathers **And the likelihood that a child will later begin smoking is twice as high if his mother smokes,’ Pengelly said CUTS AIRFLOW Lung function tests of the children they were tested five limes over eight than their Industrial Dividend Fund Industrial Equity Fund Industrial Future Fund.

Air pollution played a small role, he said.

The Hamilton children who smoked reported starting at an average age of 11, hesaid By the time they’re over 15, 30 per cent of males and females are smokers The study -showed symptoms of respiratory disease ‘were increasingly worse the more a child smoked, even if he’d only been smoking for two or three years Smoking impairs lung function in girls, said Pengelly, noting |that lung function in girls who smoked was 15 per cent different from girls who didn't smoke. Researchers don’t know why boys who smoke don’t show significant dif ferences in lung function, he said “It may be because physiologically, girls start out with better ait flow and have more to lose.” Since inception anoma, a skin cancer that will spread throughout the body if not excised early by surgery, develops after 10 to 20 years of heavy exposure to ul. traviolet rays of the suh. But Rigel said the increasing rate of the disease among the young suggests the time it takes to develop the disease may be decreasing.” A loss of ozone in the atmosphere “might be the explanation: For every decrease of one per cent in the ozone layer, there is a two-per-cent. in. crease in the incidence of skin can: cer.” Ozone is a natural atmosphereic gas that partially blocks ultraviolet solar rays from reaching the Earth's surface, Studies in recent years have shown that some types of chemical pollutants, principally the fluorocar. bons used for refrigerants and sol- vents, destroy atmospheric ozone, thus allowing more ultraviolet radi- ation to reach Earth. Counterbalaneing the ozone-loss effect is a growing consciousness about dangers from excessive expo- sufe to the sun, Rigel said. He said more people are using sun screen, a skin lotion that filters ultraviolet rays. Melanorpa first appears asa black, brown or mixed colored spot or irregular shape on the skin's surface. Left untreated, the cancer pene- trates to the interior of the skin and releases cells that can move through the bloodstream and establish col- onies in the bone, brain, lung or even heart. Once this happens, the disease cannot be cured, Rigel said. "til Saturday at LE MOEL CHIROPRACTOR ° SHED ry you spend at this week's Double Buck Merchants oTA .
