European epidemiological studies on ambient air pollution and cancer published before
December 2006 are reviewed, with focus on five analytic studies providing data on the …

Background: Chronic exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) has been suggested to be
associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, but the results were inconsistent. We …

Background: Particulate matter (PM) in outdoor air pollution was recently designated a

Background Several aspects of the association between exposure to air pollution and risk of
lung cancer remain unclear. Objective We aimed at performing a meta-analysis of high …

Smoking, sex, air pollution, lifestyle, and diet may act independently or in concert with each
other to contribute to the different outcomes of lung cancer (LC). This study aims to explore …

Aims: Several meta-analyses of observational studies report a long-term correlation
between air pollution and the risk of cancer, particularly lung carcinoma. The aim of this …

Although outdoor air pollution including particulate matter (PM) was classified as
carcinogenic to humans based on accumulating epidemiological evidence, these findings …

Epidemiologic evidence on the relation between ambient air pollution exposure and cancer
is reviewed. The well-documented urban/rural difference in lung cancer incidence and the …

Robust evidence is needed for the hazardous effects of outdoor particulate matter (PM) on
