UC San Diego study of global lung cancer shows mutations that lead to cancer are common in people who live in cities with bad air pollution. But cancer mutations are quite close to normal among ...

An international study found that air pollution leads to more cancer-related genetic changes than secondhand smoke.

A new study published in Nature says air pollution may be driving lung cancer development in people who have little to no ...

New global research links air pollution to DNA mutations found in lung cancer among non-smokers, suggesting polluted air may ...

Exposure to air pollution, other contaminants and traditional herbal medicines may be contributing to the development of lung ...

Lung cancer among never-smokers is rising worldwide. In one U.S. study of 12,000 lung cancer patients, the share of people who didn’t smoke rose from 8 to 15 percent over twenty years. A British ...

Scientists have long known that air pollution can be linked with an increased risk of lung cancer in people who never smoked, but new research describes one mechanism that might help explain how.

Less commonly, lung cancer can also be a result of air pollution — the addition of harmful substances into the air. In 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World ...

A new study reveals that air pollution, traditional herbal medicines and other environmental exposures are linked to genetic ...
