To meet the country's health goals for 2011-2016, a qualitative review of exposure to risk factors for cancer in Qatar was conducted in 2013. The review included exposure to environmental agents carcinogenic to humans (International Agency for Research on Cancer classification), as well as lifestyle factors known to affect cancer risk. Information from all available sources was assembled and reviewed. The levels of particulate matter reported in Qatar were in the upper range of ambient air pollutants reported internationally, and may influence the country's future lung cancer burden. The limited data on occupational exposure suggests that the greatest risks for workers in the construction industry are likely to be from environmental dust and related air pollutants. The greatest cancer risks for Qatari nationals may be lifestyle factors, particularly obesity, physical inactivity and tobacco use. Extended monitoring of the composition of and human exposure to air pollutants is recommended.
为实现该国2011 - 2016年的健康目标，2013年对卡塔尔癌症风险因素暴露情况进行了定性评估。该评估包括人类致癌物的环境暴露（国际癌症研究机构分类）以及已知会影响癌症风险的生活方式因素。收集并审查了所有可用来源的信息。卡塔尔报告的颗粒物水平处于国际报告的环境空气污染物的较高范围内，可能会影响该国未来的肺癌负担。关于职业暴露的有限数据表明，建筑行业工人面临的最大风险可能来自环境灰尘和相关空气污染物。卡塔尔国民面临的最大癌症风险可能是生活方式因素，尤其是肥胖、缺乏身体活动和吸烟。建议对空气污染物的成分和人体暴露情况进行长期监测。
