Indonesian to English: The Risk for Passive Smoker General field: Other Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - Indonesian Perokok pasif biasanya menghirup asap yang berasal dari pembakaran rokok dan juga asap yang dikeluarkan oleh seorang perokok aktif. Menjadi perokok pasif sebenarnya tanpa disadari telah membuat seseoran menjadi perokok. Biasanya perokok pasif ini berada di rumah, mobil, tempat kerja dan tempat-tempat umum lainnya seperti bar.
Untuk melihat seberapa besar perokok pasif terpapar asap rokok dapat diuji dengan mengukur kadar nikotin, cotinine dan karbon monoksida dalam darah, air liur atau urinnya. Cotinine ini adalah suatu hasil produk metabolisme nikotin dalam tubuh.
Didapatkan lebih dari 4.000 zat kimia yang terdapat dalam asap rokok. Sedikitnya 250 zat berbahaya dan 50 diantaranya menyebabkan kanker terkandung dalam sebatang rokok.
Zat kimia tersebut seperti arsenik (logam berat beracun), benzene (bahan kimia dalam bensin), beryllium (logam beracun), kadmium (logam yang digunakan untuk baterai), etilen oksida (bahan kimia untuk mensterilkan alat medis), vinil klorida (zat toksik untuk membuat plastik) dan zat lainnya.
Dilansir dari National Cancer Institute, badan internasional untuk penelitian kanker (IARC) telah mengklasifikasikan asap rokok pada manusia sebagai karsinogen (zat penyebab kanker). Karenanya orang yang tidak merokok tapi sering menghirup asap rokok juga memiliki kemungkinan terkena kanker paru.
Diperkirakan orang yang menjadi perokok pasif berpeluang terkena kanker paru-paru 20 sampai 30 persen. Tapi jika perokok pasif tersebut tinggal bersama dengan seorang perokok aktif maka peluangnya menjadi lebih besar. Karena ada kemungkinan orang tersebut terpapar asap rokok setiap harinya, sehingga akumulasi dari zat-zat kimia tersebut semakin besar.
Beberapa penelitian lain menunjukkan asap rokok tak hanya menimbulkan kanker paru-paru saja, tapi juga kanker payudara, kanker rongga sinus hidung, leukimia, limfoma dan tumor otak pada anak-anak. Tapi masih diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk hubungannya dengan kanker-kanker ini.
Translation - English Passive smoker usually inhales smoke which comes from cigarette and also smoke from active smoker. Becoming passive smoker actually has made someone become a smoker without being realized. Usually passive smoker is someone who is at home, work place and other public places such as a bar.
To see how big is a passive smoker is exposed to cigarette smoke, can be tested by measuring nicotine, cotinine and carbon monoxide level in blood, saliva or urine. Cotinine is a product of nicotine metabolism in the body.
More than 4.000 chemical substances are found in cigarette smoke. At least 250 are hazardous substances and 50 substances among them which causes cancer are found in a cigarette.
The chemical substance such as arsenic (toxic heavy metal), benzene (chemical substance in kerosene), beryllium (toxic metal), cadmium (metal which is used for battery), ethylene oxide (chemical substance to sterilize medical equipment), vinyl chloride (toxic substance to make plastic)and other substances.
As reported by National Cancer Institute, international agency for cancer research (IARC) has clarified cigarette smoke on human as carcinogen (substance which causes cancer). Therefore a person who does not smoke but often inhales cigarette smoke also has the possibility to get lung cancer.
It is assumed that someone who becomes passive smoker has the possibility to get lung cancer between 20 to 30 percent. But if a passive smoker lives with an active smoker thus the possibility gets bigger. Because there is possibility that the person is exposed to cigarette smoke everyday, so that the accumulation of the chemical substances gets bigger.
Other researches show that cigarette smoke is not only cause lung cancer, but also breast cancer, nasal sinus cavity cancer, leukemia, lymphoma and brain tumor on children. But further research still need to be done to know the correlation with these cancers.

Experience
Years of experience: 16. Registered at ProZ.com: Jul 2011.
I am a secretary who have been working from 2008 in a subsidiary company of Sumitomo Corporation Japan, called PT. Central Java Power, which business line is in the funding of Power Plant (leasing company).
There are many expatriates who are working with me, thus English is a must here. Translation has become my day to day work, for incoming - outgoing letters, specific document, etc.
For every translation work, I always make sure that my translation is not only translating word to word, but it has to deliver the same meaning with the source language, thus my translation will not be like the translation delivered by Google translation.
