Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified outdoor air pollution and the particulate matter component of outdoor air pollution as class I carcinogen. Air pollution is consistently associated with lung cancer in epidemiologic and experimental studies. The IARC assessment is specifically designed as hazard identification, and it does not quantify the magnitude of the cancer risk. This article addresses the magnitude of the lung cancer risk in the population due to ambient air pollution exposure.
最近,国际癌症研究机构(IARC)已将室外空气污染及室外空气污染中的颗粒物成分列为一类致癌物。在流行病学和实验研究中,空气污染一直与肺癌相关。IARC的评估专门用于识别危害,并未对癌症风险的大小进行量化。本文探讨了因暴露于环境空气污染而导致人群患肺癌的风险大小。
