Air pollution may be raising risk of lung cancer in ‘never-smokers’: Study

Air pollution and herbal medicines tied to lung cancer in non-smokers, scientists say

Researchers say never-smokers living in more polluted cities have significantly more mutations linked to malignancy

Study links particulate air pollution to increased mutations in lung cancers among nonsmokers

LOS ANGELES, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Exposure to fine particulate air pollution is strongly associated with increased genetic mutations in lung cancer tumors among individuals who have never smoked, a new study led by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found. Read full story

NIH Scientists Link Air Pollution and Lung Cancer Mutations in Non-Smokers - Inside Climate News

Research from the NIH’s National Cancer Institute, an agency beleaguered by funding cuts and censorship, finds that particulate matter pollution impacts lung cancer at the DNA level.

Air pollution may be raising risk of lung cancer in 'never-smokers': Study

(The Hill) - Exposure to air pollution, other contaminants and traditional herbal medicines may be contributing to the development of lung cancer in people who have little or no history of smoking, a new study has found. Contact with these substances can be linked to the same genetic mutations that are associated with smoking and that promote lung cancer development, according to the study, published on Wednesday in Nature. “We’re seeing this pr…

Never-smokers' lung cancer may worsen in areas with air pollution

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