Air pollution can promote the development of lung adenocarcinoma, particularly in never-smokers, according to a study published in Nature. The study found that air pollution can cause mutations in lung cells, leading to the development of cancer. The research also identified specific mutations that are more common in never-smokers with lung cancer, suggesting that air pollution may be a contributing factor in these cases. The findings highlight the need for continued efforts to reduce air pollution and protect public health.
