We conducted a population-based case-control study among men 40–75 years of age
encompassing all cases of lung cancer 1985–1990 among stable residents of Stockholm …

Background: The well documented urban/rural difference in lung cancer incidence and the
detection of known carcinogens in the atmosphere have produced the hypothesis that long …

Background: Most studies on the association between lung cancer and air pollution have
investigated mortality. There have been few studies of lung cancer incidence. Methods: We …

Background Previous studies have shown associations between air pollution and risk for
lung cancer. Objective We investigated whether traffic and the concentration of nitrogen …

Background: Air pollution is suspected to cause lung cancer. The purpose was to investigate
whether the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NO x) at the residence, used as an indicator of …

A specific aim of a population-based case-control study of lung cancer in Stockholm,
Sweden, was to use emission data, dispersion models, and geographic information systems …

Epidemiological studies on the effect of urban air pollution on lung cancer were surveyed.
Overall, the studies from many countries point to a smoking-adjusted risk in urban areas …

Background: There is accumulating evidence that air pollution causes lung cancer. Still,
questions remain about exposure misclassification, the components of air pollution …

To estimate the relationship between air pollution and lung cancer, a nested case‐control
study was set up within EPIC (European Prospective Investigation on Cancer and Nutrition) …

7 found essentially no relation to exposure to NO2, black smoke, PM2. 5, SO2, or several
traffic indicators. Associations of overall air pollution concentrations and traffic indicator …
