[Air pollution and lung cancer].
This review on air pollution and lung cancer recapitulates the main issues in this field (urban-rural-gradients; experimental data and occupational epidemiology of exposure to PAH; smoking and occupation as confounders). Definite risk increases have been observed in the vicinity of point emission sources. Within Switzerland lung cancer shows an urban/rural gradient in both sexes. The geographical distribution of the male cases can hardly be explained only by the patterns of smoking alone.
