Abstract

It is increasingly recognised that long-term exposure to air pollutants may have an effect on lung cancer mortality rates. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the incidence of lung cancer and long-term air pollution exposure in two large Scottish cohorts with at least 22 years of mortality follow-up.
