Exposure to ambient air pollution and the incidence of lung cancer and breast cancer in the Ontario Population Health and Environment Cohort (ONPHEC)

International Journal of Cancer Jul 19, 2019

Bai L, et al. - In order to determine if chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and redox-weighted average of NO2 and O3 (Ox) is related to incident lung and breast cancer, researchers performed this population-based cohort study. The Ontario Population Health and Environment Cohort (ONPHEC), which includes all long-term residents aged 35–85 years who lived in Ontario, Canada, 2001–2015, was used for this study. They ascertained incident lung and breast cancers using the Ontario Cancer Registry. The analysis suggested no associations of O3 or Ox with lung cancer and indicated sublinear shape relationships of PM2.5 and NO2 with lung cancer. No compelling evidence was identified linking air pollution to breast cancer.
