Smaller particular matter, larger risk of female lung cancer incidence? Evidence from 436 Chinese counties.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many studies have reported the effects of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ on human health, however, it remains unclear whether particular matter with finer particle size has a greater effect.

Objectives

This work aims to examine the varying associations of the incidence rate of female lung cancer with PM₁, PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ in 436 Chinese cancer registries between 2014 and 2016.

Methods

The effects of PM₁, PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ were estimated through three regression models, respectively. Mode l only included particular matter, while Model 2 and Model 3 further controlled for time and location factors, and socioeconomic covariates, respectively. Moreover, two sensitivity analyses were performed to
