Editorial
"Air pollution and lung cancer risk" - Ole Raaschou-Nielsen , Danish Cancer Society Research Center,
Copenhagen, Denmark
“The public health implications of our study might be more obvious than the clinical implications, but at least
one clinical aspect should be mentioned. I guess that doctors in the clinic are sometimes approached by
patients being anxious about the risk of lung cancer when living/walking/cycling, …. in areas with high levels

of air pollution, e.g. streets with dense traffic. I believe that an important implication of the study is to make
clear to such anxious patients the risk proportions, i.e. that the risk for lung cancer in association with ambient
air pollution is much, much lower than the risk in association with active smoking. The risk in association with
air pollution is more comparable with the risk in association with passive smoking. ”.

cohorts: prospective analyses from the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects
