Air Pollution and Breast Cancer Incidence in the Multiethnic Cohort Study
Findings from this large multiethnic cohort with long-term air pollutant exposure and published prospective cohort studies support PM<sub>2.5</sub> as a risk factor for breast cancer. As about half of breast cancer cannot be explained by established breast cancer risk factors and incidence is continuing to increase, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, our results highlight that breast cancer prevention should include not only individual-level behavior-centered approaches but also population-wide policies and regulations to curb PM<sub>2.5</sub> exposure.
