Background Previous studies have shown associations between air pollution and risk for lung cancer. Objective We investigated whether traffic and the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) at the residence are associated with risk for lung cancer. Methods We identified 592 lung cancer cases in the Danish Cancer Registry among 52,970 members of the Diet, Cancer and Health cohort and traced residential addresses from 1 January 1971 in the Central Population Registry. We calculated the NOx…

Air pollution from traffic and cancer incidence: a Danish cohort study
TLDR
This hypothesis-generating study indicates that traffic-related air pollution might increase the risks for cervical and brain cancer, which should be tested in future studies.
Traffic‐related air pollution and risk for leukaemia of an adult population
TLDR
An association between long‐term exposure to traffic‐related air pollution and acute myeloid leukaemia in the general population is indicated, but not for other subtypes ofLeukaemia.
Long-term Residential Exposure to Air Pollution and Lung Cancer Risk
TLDR
Lung cancer incidence in this Canadian study was increased most strongly with NO2 and PM2.5 exposure, and there was the suggestion of increased risk among those living within 100 m of highways, but not among thoseliving near major roads.
Lung Cancer Risk and Residential Exposure to Air Pollution: A Korean Population-Based Case-Control Study
TLDR
Air pollution was more strongly associated with squamous cell and small cell carcinomas than with adenocarcinoma of the lung, providing evidence that PM10 and NO2 contribute to lung cancer incidence in Korea.
Long-Term Ambient Residential Traffic–Related Exposures and Measurement Error–Adjusted Risk of Incident Lung Cancer in the Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer
TLDR
Findings add support to a growing body of literature on the effects of air pollution on lung cancer and highlight variation in measurement error by pollutant and support the implementation of measurement error corrections when possible.
Residential radon and lung cancer incidence in a Danish cohort.
Long‐term exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution and the risk of lung cancer among participants of the Canadian National Breast Screening Study
TLDR
A prospective analysis of women enrolled in the Canadian National Breast Screening Study between 1980 and 1985 and linked to the Canadian Cancer Registry to identify incident lung cancers through 2004 suggests associations persist at lower concentrations such as those currently found in Canadian cities.
Particulate matter air pollution components and risk for lung cancer.
Particulate Matter Air Pollution Exposure, Distance to Road, and Incident Lung Cancer in the Nurses’ Health Study Cohort
TLDR
The findings support those from other studies indicating increased risk of incident lung cancer associated with ambient PM exposures, especially among never- and long-term former smokers.
Long-term ambient fine particulate matter air pollution and lung cancer in a large cohort of never-smokers.
TLDR
The present findings strengthen the evidence that ambient concentrations of PM(2.5) measured in recent decades are associated with small but measurable increases in lung cancer mortality.

Air Pollution from Traffic and Risk for Lung Cancer in Three Danish Cohorts
TLDR
The study showed a modest association between air pollution from traffic and the risk for lung cancer and stresses the importance of strategies for reduction of population exposure to traffic-related air pollution.
Long-Term Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Lung Cancer Risk
TLDR
Evidence is found for an association of exposure to black smoke and traffic with lung cancer incidence in people who had never smoked.
Air pollution and risk of lung cancer in a prospective study in Europe
TLDR
A nonsignificant association between lung cancer and residence nearby heavy traffic roads is found and the association with NO2 did not change after adjustment by cotinine and additional potential confounders, including occupational exposures.
Urban Air Pollution and Lung Cancer in Stockholm
TLDR
It is indicated that urban air pollution increases lung cancer risk and that vehicle emissions may be particularly important.
Lung cancer and air pollution: a 27 year follow up of 16 209 Norwegian men
TLDR
Urban air pollution may increase the risk of developing lung cancer, according to a cohort of Oslo men followed from 1972/73 to 1998.
Lung cancer, cardiopulmonary mortality, and long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution.
TLDR
Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.
Long-Term Concentrations of Ambient Air Pollutants and Incident Lung Cancer in California Adults: Results from the AHSMOG Study
TLDR
The increased relative risk of incident lung cancer in males associated with an interquartile range (IQR) increase in 100 ppb ozone (O3) was 3.56 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.35-9.42].
Air pollution from traffic at the residence of children with cancer.
TLDR
The risks of leukemia, central nervous system tumors, and all selected cancers combined were not linked to exposure to benzene or nitrogen dioxide during either period, and the association was restricted to Hodgkin's disease.
Long-term concentrations of ambient air pollutants and incident lung cancer in California adults: results from the AHSMOG study.Adventist Health Study on Smog.
TLDR
Increased risks of incident lung cancer were associated with elevated long-term ambient concentrations of PM10 and SO2 in both genders and with O3 in males, and the gender differences for the O3 and PM10 results appeared to be partially due to gender differences in exposure.
Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and mortality in Shizuoka, Japan
TLDR
Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution, indexed by nitrogen dioxide concentration, increases the risk of cardiopulmonary mortality, even in a population with a relatively low body mass index and increases therisk of lung cancer mortality in non-smokers.
