정부, 가습기살균제 폐암 유발 첫 인정 향후 피해자 구제는 개별심사로

For the first time, the South Korean government has acknowledged that some humidifier disinfectants can cause lung cancer.
The Environment Ministry on Tuesday granted damages to the family of a non-smoking man in his 30s who died from lung cancer after using these disinfectants.
The ministry says the decision was based on research done by the Korea University Ansan Hospital last year which provided scientific evidence that exposure to PHMG, an element used in some humidifier disinfectants, can trigger lung cancer.
The ministry will assess the 2-hundred-six remaining lung cancer patients seeking damage relief on a case-by-case basis, considering other risk factors, like smoking.
This comes 12 years after lung damage among children and pregnant women who had used humidifier disinfectants was first reported in the country.
