Increased industrialization and urbanization have led to marked increases in air pollutants in China over the last decade. Pollutant levels in the north and eastern regions are often four times higher than current daily levels in the United States. Recent reports indicate a higher incidence of lung cancer and mortality in men and urban dwellers, but the contribution of air pollution to these findings remains unknown. Future studies that define individual exposures, combined with biomarkers linked to disease, will be essential to the understanding of risk posed by air pollution in China.
在过去十年中，工业化和城市化的加速导致中国空气中污染物显著增加。中国北部和东部地区的污染物水平往往是美国目前日平均水平的四倍。最近的报告显示，男性和城市居民的肺癌发病率和死亡率较高，但空气污染对这些结果的影响尚不清楚。确定个体暴露情况并结合与疾病相关的生物标志物的未来研究，对于理解中国空气污染带来的风险至关重要。
