Exposure to fuel from cooking and heating has not been studied in Europe, where lung cancer rates are high and many residents have had a long tradition of burning coal and unprocessed biomass. Study subjects included 2,861 cases and 3,118 controls recruited during 1998-2002 in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. The odds ratio of lung cancer associated with solid fuel use was 1.22 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04, 1.44) for cooking or…

Re: "Lung cancer and indoor pollution from heating and cooking with solid fuels: the IARC international multicentre case-control study in Eastern/Central Europe and the United Kingdom".
TLDR
It is suggested that the risk estimates stated in the paper of Lissowska et al. (1) be interpreted with caution and that future case-control studies on solid fuel use and cancer should raise as many data as possible on house and householdspecific parameters.
Home kitchen ventilation, cooking fuels, and lung cancer risk in a prospective cohort of never smoking women in Shanghai, China
TLDR
It is demonstrated that IAP from poor ventilation of coal combustion increases the risk of lung cancer and is an important public health issue in cities across China where people may have lived in homes with inadequate kitchen ventilation.
Risk of lung cancer from residential heating and cooking fuels in Montreal, Canada.
TLDR
The findings for women suggest the need for research dedicated to exploring this association between use of polluting heating and cooking sources and cancer risk, with particular emphasis on improved exposure assessment.
Indoor air pollution from solid fuel use, chronic lung diseases and lung cancer in Harbin, Northeast China
TLDR
Support and quantification is given of the positive association between IAP, history of selected nonmalignant lung diseases, and lung cancer risk for both the sexes and the ORs of lung cancer for participants with a history of chronic bronchitis and tuberculosis.
In-Home Coal and Wood Use and Lung Cancer Risk: A Pooled Analysis of the International Lung Cancer Consortium
TLDR
The results are consistent with previous observations pertaining to in-home coal use and lung cancer risk, support the hypothesis of a carcinogenic potential of in- home wood use, and point to the need for more detailed study of factors affecting these associations.
Indoor air pollution from solid fuels and risk of hypopharyngeal/laryngeal and lung cancers: a multicentric case-control study from India.
TLDR
It is suggested that reducing indoor air pollution from solid fuels may contribute to prevention of these cancers in India, in addition to tobacco and alcohol control programs.
Household Ventilation May Reduce Effects of Indoor Air Pollutants for Prevention of Lung Cancer: A Case-Control Study in a Chinese Population
TLDR
A protective association was observed between good ventilation of households and lung cancer, most likely through the reduction of exposure to indoor air pollutants, indicating ventilation may serve as one of the preventive measures for lungcancer, in addition to tobacco cessation.
Household Air Pollution From Solid Cooking Fuel Combustion and Female Breast Cancer
TLDR
Long-term solid fuel combustion for cooking may increase the risk of breast cancer, and the strength of association is stronger among coal users than wood users.
Indoor air pollution from solid fuels and risk of upper aerodigestive tract cancers in central and eastern Europe.
Household coal use and lung cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies, with an emphasis on geographic variation.
TLDR
Evidence is provided that although the carcinogenic effect of coal use varies by location, coals from many locations exhibit elevated lung cancer risks.

Lung Cancer and Indoor Exposure to Coal and Biomass in Rural China
TLDR
It is suggested that coal may contribute to the risk of lung cancer in this rural area of China, where many residents live in underground dwellings and burn coal and unprocessed biomass for heating and cooking.

Effect of indoor air pollution on the respiratory system of women using different fuels for cooking in an urban slum of Pondicherry.
TLDR
Predicted pulmonary functions using multiple regression equations, derived from the data set of the present study, indicated that women using biofuels were more liable to have reduced pulmonary functions than women using kerosene or LPG.
Human exposure and dosimetry of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine from Xuan Wei, China with high lung cancer mortality associated with exposure to unvented coal smoke.
TLDR
Investigation of indoor air exposure and dosimetry of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Xuan Wei residents using smoky coal showed that XW residents were exposed to PAHs at occupational levels, consistent with previous findings that alkylatedPAHs are the major mutagens in the XW indoor air and may be etiologically important in XW lung cancer.
Mouse skin tumorigenicity studies of indoor coal and wood combustion emissions from homes of residents in Xuan Wei, China with high lung cancer mortality.
TLDR
These findings were in agreement with the epidemiological data, which showed that the Xuan Wei residents using smoky coal as a major fuel in homes had a high lung cancer mortality rate.
Risk of male lung cancer attributed to coal combustion indoors in Shanghai.
Indoor air pollution and pulmonary adenocarcinoma among females: a case-control study in Shenyang, China.
TLDR
Investigation in Shenyang, China showed that cooking fumes, family history of lung cancer, economic status, and number of live births and intake of vitamin E were risk factors significantly associated with adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Risk of developing lung cancer in relation to exposure to fumes from Chinese-style cooking.
TLDR
Experimental data support the epidemiologic data and simple precautions can be taken to reduce the risk in the event that exposure to indoor air pollution arising from Chinese-style cooking is indeed a cause of lung cancer.
