研究发现,接触空气污染微粒的非吸烟妇女的肺癌风险较高。 Study finds elevated lung cancer risk for non-smoking women exposed to air pollution particles.

向国际肺癌研究协会提交的研究表明,接触微小的空气污染微粒,特别是汽车排气和烧柴产生的PM2.5,可能会增加从未吸烟的妇女的肺癌风险。 Research presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer indicates that exposure to tiny air pollution particles, particularly PM2.5 from car exhaust and wood burning, may elevate lung cancer risk in women who have never smoked. 虽然吸烟是主要风险因素,但每年有近6 000名非吸烟者死于肺癌。 While smoking is the primary risk factor, nearly 6,000 non-smokers die from lung cancer annually. 这项研究强调需要进一步研究污染在肺癌中的作用,特别是在妇女当中。 The study highlights the need for further research on pollution's role in lung cancer, especially among women.
