Different Mortality Risks of Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Matter across Different Cancer Sites.

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution has challenged the global community and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified airborne particulate matter as carcinogenic to humans. However, while most studies of cancer examined a single cancer type using different cohorts, few studies compared the associations of PM between different cancer types. We aimed to compare the association of long-term exposure to PM (PM and PM) and cancer mortality across 17 different types of cancer using a population-based cohort in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), South Korea; Our study population includes 87,608 subjects (mean age: 46.

- The study examined the relationship between long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) with lung cancer incidence in a large population from the Seoul Metropolitan Area in South Korea, involving over 83,000 participants followed from 2007 to 2015.
- While initial findings showed increased hazard ratios for PM exposure compared to lower exposures in North America and Europe, the overall data indicated that there was no statistically significant association between PM, NO, and lung cancer in the total population.
- However, subgroup analyses revealed potential links between PM exposure and increased lung cancer risks in individuals with a family history of cancer and among heavy smokers, suggesting that certain high-risk groups might be more affected by air pollution
