Incidence Rate of Leukemia :
There are currently about 345 thousand people in the U.S, who are living with or have remission from leukemia.
Mortality Rate of Leukemia :
In 2016 the where an estimated 24 thousand people who died from leukemia in the U.S.
Mortality Rate in the World for Leukemia :
Iraq by far has the highest rate of leukemia with a 6.85% out of 100 thousand people.
Develop a Plan :
Plan #1 : The first way to reduce the likelihood of getting leukemia would be, less exposure to ionizing radiation. The reason for wanting to avoid ionizing radiation is because this type of radiation has enough energy to break certain chemical bonds, remove electrons from atoms, and damage DNA in our cells that can lead to cancer.
Plan #2 : The second way to reduce the likelihood of getting leukemia would be to avoid smoking cigarettes. This is because cigarette smoke contains a chemical known as benzene that has been closely linked to cuasing leukemia. Benzene is a naturally born chemical formed from volcanoes and forest fires. Although, most of the benzene that is exposed to us is caused by human activity. This is because benzene is a natural part of crude oil and gasoline which is obviously exhausted by cars.
