Can breathing in vapors of bleach contribute to bladder canc

Post a new topicby samdimartino on Mon Aug 27, 2007 11:45 pm

For the last 3 years, I worked in an enviroment where I had to breathe in vapors of bleach. The bleach came from my workspace being located in the balcony of a swimming pool, and the vapors of the bleach rose to the top. For 3 years, I have been breathing in hot air saturated with fumes of bleach. Now, I have just received a diagnosis of bladder cancer I am think that my work evironment has contributed to my disease. Any opinions on the topic would be appreciated. I am thinking of asing my doctor to write me a note saying that I need a healthier work environmet. Should I?
