Mar 24, 2022 · In the United States, about 1 to 2 percent of lung cancer cases result from air pollution. Read on to learn about particle pollution and how it can increase your risk of developing...

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of lung cancer deaths annually worldwide are attributable to PM air pollution. Epidemiological evidence on outdoor air pollution and risk of other types of cancer, such as bladder cancer or breast cancer is more limited.

May 17, 2023 · The burden of disease and the underlying epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution to lung cancer in individuals who never and ever smoked were summarized to quantify the problem, assess risk prediction models, and develop recommended actions.

Feb 9, 2024 · Exposure to air pollution increases the risk of lung cancer. Cancer risk from air pollution is relatively small. Many more lung cancer cases are caused by smoking than air pollution. Air quality in the UK is regulated and pollution levels are mostly within set limits.

Sep 15, 2022 · Data from a breakthrough study in understanding how air pollution can lead to lung cancer, presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology congress on Sept 9–13, 2022, promise to revolutionise the field of oncology and approaches to public health.

Mar 21, 2024 · Regarding studies on the association between air pollution and cancer mortality, 64% assessed PM 2.5 as an exposure pollutant, and lung cancer was the most common cancer to be examined (79%). The sample size ranged from 2021 to 7,218,363.

Jun 20, 2016 · Overwhelming evidence shows that particle pollution in the outdoor air we breathe—like that coming from vehicle exhaust, coal-fired power plants and other industrial sources—can cause lung cancer.

Apr 5, 2023 · Air pollution is associated with the development of lung cancer. Analysis of clinical samples and mouse cancer models suggests that inflammation and a tumour-promotion process induced...

Oct 1, 2021 · The higher exposure category of pollution was associated with a 63% increased risk of lung cancer and the higher GRS with a 50% increased risk. More importantly, the air pollution–lung cancer risk existed across GRS categories, and there was additive interaction between these two parameters.

Apr 5, 2023 · Here we propose that environmental particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm (PM 2.5), known to be associated with lung cancer risk, promotes lung cancer by acting on cells that harbour pre-existing...
