At least 200,000 people die every year from cancers related to their workplaces, mainly from inhaling asbestos fibers and second-hand tobacco smoke. The U.N. agency said every 10th lung cancer death is related to occupational hazards, and about 125 million people worldwide are exposed to asbestos at work, leading to at least 90,000 deaths each year. Thousands more die of leukemia from workplace exposure to benzene -- an organic compound used in rubbers, dyes, drugs, and pesticides, widely used in chemical and diamond industries -- and those exposed to second-hand smoke at work have twice the risk of lung cancer than those in a smoke-free environment.
