Background/Aim: Ambient air pollution has been associated with lung cancer but the shape
of the exposure-response function-especially at lower exposure levels-is not well described.
The aim of this study was to address the relationship between long-term low-level air
pollution exposure and lung cancer incidence. Methods: The “Effects of low level air
pollution: A study in Europe”(ELAPSE) collaboration pools 7 cohorts from across Europe.
We developed hybrid models combining monitoring and land use data, satellite …
