Air pollution and cancer: biomarker studies in human populations.

Carcinogenesis - 1 Nov 2005

Vineis Paolo, Husgafvel-Pursiainen Kirsti

Abstract excerpt

Large cohort studies in the U.S. and in Europe suggest that air pollution may increase lung cancer risk. Biomarkers can be useful to understand the mechanisms and to characterize high-risk groups. Here we describe biomarkers of exposure, in particular DNA adducts as well as markers of early damage, including mutagenicity, other endpoints of genotoxicity and molecular biomarkers of cancer. Several studies found an...
