Abstract

Exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations above the WHO guidelines affect 99% of the world population. In a recent issue of Nature, Hill et al. dissect the tumor promotion paradigm orchestrated by PM2.5 inhalation exposures in lung carcinogenesis, supporting the hypothesis that PM2.5 can increase your risk of lung carcinoma without ever smoking.
