Researchers identified a mechanism for how air pollution can trigger lung cancer in people who’ve never smoked, according to a study presented at a major oncology conference on Saturday.
Why it matters: Poor air quality was attributed to more than 250,000 lung cancer deaths around the world in 2019. Warming temperatures from climate change are expected to worsen air quality.
What they’re saying: “The same particles in the air that derive from the combustion of fossil fuels, exacerbating climate change, are directly impacting human health via an important and previously overlooked cancer-causing mechanism in lung cells,” said Charles Swanton, lead author from Francis Crick Institute, in a statement.
