However, not all carcinogens are artificial. Alfatoxin, which is a component of types of fungus, hepatitis B and the human papilloma virus are also linked to certain types of cancer. Radioactive materials are also potent carcinogens and can result in many different types of cancer depending on the cells that are damaged. This is a known risk of radiology that uses high-energy ionizing radiation.
