abstract:
Technological change is a human activity that generates a huge economic impact, also
causing social change and specific environmental disorders. In particular, technological
innovations support the industrial change and human development, which by social
mechanisms of population growth, mass production and consumption can also engender
diffusion of some genotoxic carcinogens. This study seems to show a main interrelationship
between higher technological performance in OECD countries and incidence of some
cancers, controlling screening technology that is a main indicator of better healthcare
across countries. A vital relationship between observed facts endeavours to explain the
interaction between diffusion of technology across countries and incidence of some diseases
in society.
