Recently,the International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC)has classified outdoor air pollution and the particulate matter component of outdoor air pollution as class I carcinogen.Air pollution is consistently associated with lung cancer in epidemiologic and experimental studies.The IARC assessment is specifically designed as hazard identification,and it does not quantify the magnitude of the cancer risk.This article addresses the magnitude of the lung cancer risk in the population due to ambient air pollution exposure.
