We conducted a population-based case-control study among men 40–75 years of age encompassing all cases of lung cancer 1985–1990 among stable residents of Stockholm County 1950–1990. Questionnaires to subjects or next-of-kin (primarily wives or children) elicited information regarding smoking and other risk factors, including occupational and residential histories. A high response rate (>85%) resulted in 1,042 cases and 2,364 controls. We created retrospective emission databases for NOx/NO2 and…

Lung Cancer Incidence and Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution from Traffic
TLDR
This study supports that risk for lung cancer is associated with different markers of air pollution from traffic from traffic near the residence, and shows tendencies of stronger associations among nonsmokers, among those with a relatively low fruit intake, and amongThose with a longer school attendance.
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.
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 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.
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.
Effects of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution on mortality and lung cancer
We assessed the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and cause-specific mortality and lung cancer incidence using data from an ongoing cohort study: the Netherlands Cohort Study on…

Occupational and environmental exposures and lung cancer in an industrialised area in Italy
TLDR
The increased lung cancer risk observed in the area can partly be explained by occupational exposures, and is consistent with the results of dispersion models that indicate high levels of pollutant deposition in the same area.

Occupational and environmental hazards associated with lung cancer.
TLDR
In a hospital-based case-control study 194 lung cancer cases, 194 hospital controls, and 194 population controls were interviewed for their smoking, occupational, and residential history by trained interviewers, using a standardized questionnaire to quantify occupational exposure to known carcinogens of the lung.
Occupational exposure and lung cancer risk: a population-based case-referent study in Sweden.
TLDR
This case-referent study investigated the lung cancer risk from occupational exposure to diesel exhaust, mixed motor exhaust, other combustion products, asbestos, metals, oil mist, and welding fumes among stable residents of Stockholm County, Sweden from 1985 to 1990.
Air pollution and lung cancer in Trieste, Italy.
TLDR
Air pollution is a moderate risk factor for certain histologic types of lung cancer, and a case-control study among men who had died in Trieste, Italy, from 1979 to 1981 and from 1985 to 1986 provides evidence.
Air pollution and lung cancer in Trieste, Italy: spatial analysis of risk as a function of distance from sources.
TLDR
Spatial models were used to evaluate the effect of sources of pollution on lung cancer after adjustment for age, smoking habits, likelihood of exposure to occupational carcinogens, and levels of air particulate and results are consistent with findings of previous analyses.
Using geographic information systems to assess individual historical exposure to air pollution from traffic and house heating in Stockholm.
TLDR
The results indicate that GIS can be useful for exposure assessment in environmental epidemiology studies, provided that detailed geographically related exposure data are available for relevant time periods.
A case-control study of lung cancer with special reference to the effect of air pollution in Poland.
TLDR
Under conditions found in Cracow, air pollution may increase lung cancer risk, acting multiplicatively with known risk factors such as smoking and industrial exposure.
Lung cancer in women and type of dwelling in relation to radon exposure.
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].
Residential radon exposure and lung cancer in Sweden.
TLDR
The risk of lung cancer increased in relation to both estimated cumulative and time-weighted exposure to radon, and the risks appear consistent with earlier estimates based on data in miners.
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.
